REACH Of PEOPLE
Miss Emma Morehead WHITFIELD In
teresing Speaker Before Art
Club on Tuesday.

Miss Emma Morehead Whitfield, In
an address before the Art Club Tues
day afternoon on THE Progress OF Art
in Virginia" defined the attitude OF
the Federation of Women's Clubs to-
ward art. The federation Is trying to
bring art within reach OF its people.
AS a preliminary step. 1t Is encourag-
ing surveys OF art in various commit
mites. Make art SO that 1t will bring
some pleasure to working people,
Miss Whitfield quoted from Mrs. Pen
nybacker. former president Of the fed
Grafton To show how this idea has
permeated the needs Of those interest
ed in the art survey. Miss Whitfield
read a letter from a woman In re-
mote part of Virginia, who In answer
ing a question sent to her by Miss
Whitfield, urged that art be brought
into the life OF the women on farms
to help them appreciate their sur
roundings and to bring beauty into
their lives.
Summarizing the Investigations so
far made, Miss Whitfield gave a short
history of art in Virginia, beginning
with the establishment of the Academy
of the Sciences and Fine Arts of the
United States, in Richmond. Virginia.

RAIL WORKERS FIRM
FOR AN 8 HOUR DAY
Not Willing to "Crawl Ont" Of
Strike at Expense Of shorter
Hours Demand.

Representatives Of the railway broth
erhoods who have been comforting with
the committee Of general managers OF
the railroads for the adjustment of GER
tain conditions regarding their employ
ment stood Arm yesterday or the de-
mand for an eight hour day. Although
they were hopeful Of reaching an agree
ment with the managers on this ques-
ton. they asserted that they were not
willing TO crawl OUT ~ a nationwide
strike at the expense OF sacrificing the
eight hour day. At the Saturday con-
ference this difference seemed apparently
TO have died ont. but yesterday II again
sprang into new life.
A statement from the adjustment
board Of the railway conductors said !:
We hope 10 have this controversy set
tied. but we Will not consent to peace
at any price. In view OF the general
success OF the eight hour movement in
many industries the railroad men. who
consider themselves the hardest worked.
are determined 10 achieve the eight hour
day"
From a committee Of the -four railroad
brotherhoods came another statement
taking issue with the assertion made hy
railroad officials that the roads cannot
afford any increase for train operation.
II was pointed out that the railroads
were never better off than they are now /:
that many roads have participated In
