Grasp the Opportunity.

The war has overshadowed al
most everything of importance,
and for the first time in many
years apparently little interest has
been taken in politics except BY
those who are seeking offices, but
an election will be held this year as
usual The Democratic State Cen
trail Committee met last week and
ratified the action of the Chairman
of the Republican and Democratic
State Central Committees in fixing
the date OF the primaries. The Re-
publican State Central Committee
will meet on Wednesday next for
the same purpose and also for the
purpose OF empowering the Chair
man of the committee to fix date
for the holding of the Convention,
when candidate for Comptroller
will be nominated and a platform
adopted.
Up to the present no candidate
has appeared in field in either party
for this nomination. The Demo
Gratis will likely renominate Mr..
McMullen, the present Comptrol-
ler Who will be the Republican
candidate is at present unknown.
This year more than any other
for years the field should be full of
willing Barkises" because of the
fact that the Republicans have a
better opportunity of electing Their
candidate than they have had fol
several years. There is little
doubt but that the people of tht
State are tired of the present Dem
ocratic regime and will turn to the
Republicans this fall. The office of
Comptroller is one of the most i'm
portant in the State and should be
filled by man who is experienced
in financial affairs and one who
knows something about the finan-
cial affairs of the State at the
present time. The Republican
party has plenty of excellent ma
terial from which to select a strong
candidate who will not only fill the
office capably and well, but who can
bring to his support not only every
voter who claims to be a Republi-
can, but large number of indie
pendents and even liberal Demo-
Gratis who are more interested in
the welfare of their State from the
standpoint OF taxpayers than they
are interested in politics. The Re
publican party has an opportunity
this year that should be grasped.
A Comptroller can be and we be-
lieve will be elected by the Repub-
licans if all personal feeling and
factionalism is laid aside. Fur
ther, there is an excellent opportu-
nifty presented to the Republican
party in Maryland to win control
of both branches of the Legisla-
ture, which will mean the election
of Republican State Treasurer,
giving to the Republican party con
troll of the Board OF Public Works,
thus placing in the control Of the
party of the financial affairs of the
State. The people want relief
from the heavy burden of State
taxes which has been increasing
yearly for the last several years,
and they realize that this can be
had only through the Republican
party. Republicans of Maryland,
let's grasp the opportunity that is
ours; nominate strong and able
man for Comptroller, and men for
the Legislature in whom the people
have confidence, and victory in
November is ours.

WIPING OUT LABOR
WAR HAS HIT HARD ORGANIZED
MOVEMENT IN AUSTRIA.
Many Unions Disbanded and Expendi-
lures Exceed Income; Total Mem
berships Drops Since 1913.

The war has hit the trades and or
ganized labor of Austria a blow that
is almost stunning. The total MEM
bership has been reduced to 173, ,133
from 5,195, the figures in 1913; 80
of the 81 organizations that are band
ed together in the so-called Imperial
Commission" have less than 1000
members apiece now, according to ad-
about half of the associations have
been so reduced that they were ex-
ceeded by expenditures.
The reduction in the membership of
the unions not only applies to men,
some 100000 of whom have been
called to the colors, but to women as
well, of whom 40 per cent of the old
number have left the organizations.
Some trades, such as roofers and pa
per box makers, now have only 26 and
Is members, respectively, left. The
big metal workers and textile trades
have only $4,000 and 10000 members
left.
OF course, with the reduction in
membership there has been a corre-
spending decrease in the sums paid
out for war support" so that the va
rious trades in 1915, for example, had
to expend but little over 100000 in
this way, as against S630,000 in 1914.
Similarly the incomes dropped, so
that the imperial commission in 1915
took in, thru its 50 organizations, but
81 100000 in 1915, against 81 $50, 900
in 1914 and 100000 in 1918. Even
with lessened membership, however,
the trades still have as much in their
treasures today as they had in 1913.

Overalls, long worn by man and
considered practically as essential as
his dinner pail in his work, are grad
ually being adopted by the women,
says the New York Daily News-Rec-
ord. This is not only true in the Eu-
ropean countries, where women are
gradually taking up work formerly
done by the men because of the war,
but right here in this country, or, to
be more definite, here in New York
city.
On December &c the overall woman
made her first appearance in this city
when A. Goodman & Sons, bakery
firm which occupies a five-story build
ing at GAO E. Seventeenth street,
equipped sixty of it's girls with this
latest of so-called boomers. That the
experiment was an instantaneous sue
cess is shown by the inquiries being
made daily at this bakery by firms
which employ number of women,
and the immediate placing of orders.
The special overall for women is cut
somewhat differently and made of
lighter material. They carry the
the limbs and are adjustable at the
knee or ankle.
The chief feature is sanitation.
Women who previously have worn
CREASED, soiled dresses which were
practically impossible to be washed,
now can don pair of overalls which
may be laundered the same as those
worn by the men. She can wear good
garments to and from her work and
need not subject herself to the bother
of changing clothes at the factory for
the overalls are made sufficiently
large for her to slip them on over her
f,-f !, ehn
They also add to the neatness of
appearance and are much easier for
the women to work in. In the Good
man bakery, overalls of white mate
rial are used and the general cleanli-
ness and attractiveness of the plant is
readily seen. The girls were a bit
timid at first, but now have become SO
adapted to their use they declare they
would not be without them. They say
their work is made easier by their use
and the protection afforded their un-
dergarments is also worthy of notice.
Large overall companies declare
this is but the beginning of a national
move for their use, and that it will be
but matter of very short time be-
fore household help will be wearing
them.
The Sweet-Orr company, manufac-
turers of overalls, stated they had just
placed women's overalls on the mar
ket and that their statesmen report
surprising interest being shown in the
garment. They were patented less
than month ago and already orders
are beginning to pour in. In addition
to supplying the Goodman bakery,
they have just received an order from
large manufacturing plant in Eliz-
abeth, N. J. They have also received
several small orders from moving pic
ture concerns.
"There is no doubt of the success of
these garments for women" said an
official of the Sweet-Orr company. "Of

course, the women at first look upon
them as garment improper for their
use, but when the great advantages
are seen and they discover the out
ward appearance is much the same as
skirts, they can see the practicability
of wearing them. For scrubbing floors
and working about dusty rooms, as
well as factory use they afford pro-
lection to their clothing and undergar-
ments that it is now impossible for
them to shield from soil. Their adapt
ability for housework is fast being
circulated and we soon expect the de-
mand for women's overalls will be
almost as great as that now for
mems"

manufacturers of overalls especially
made for women

Political leaders of all factions have
evidenced keen interest in the affair
as it is expected that as an outgrowth
the different warning factions within
the party will bury their differences
and unite on program for two years

ticket will be $3.50.
The committee in charge of ar

those from out of Denver who are
planning to attend, ask their county

announced, will be given preference.

NO TIME FOR A LOAF.

Some time ago, when a local corps
was reviewed by Sir Ian Hamilton,
one officer was mounted on a horse
that had previously distinguished it
self in bakery business. Somebody
recognized the horse and shouted "Ba-

dead and nothing could urge it on.
The situation was getting painful
when the officer was struck with a
brilliant idea and remarked: "Not

ers of America" says the executive
board of that organization in a state
ment to its members.
mo strikes are in effect that would
have a tendency to limit the supply
OF fuel, and our members everywhere
are responding with unanimity to
their duties as mine workers whenever
opportunity to work is given them.
Unfortunately many of them have
been denied steady work because rail-
road cars have been commandeered
and used to transport munitions of
war and other commodities, and car
shortage at the mines has limited pro-
duction and depleted the supply of
coal in the markets.
when this condition has been rem

to work full time the coal shortage
will be greatly relieved and the pres
ent unusual condition of the coal mar
ket will approach the normal again. !"
