AMERICAN WOMEN
READY FOR SERvg|
National Suffrage Association Rcps0.
scntafives Called to Meet In
Washington, Feb IS.

To outline plan OF definite wa
service by women. Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait, president OF the National
American Woman Suffrage association
has called council of the associatiorf.
consisting of 100 members. represent.
ing all the states. to meet in wash-2a
ington. February %.
IF we are to be involved in war
this Is no time to offer pointiesu
promises OF assistance" said Mrs.
Gait. TN the beginning OF the Eur0..
pean war the women were uncertain'
what they could do and whether they
were wanted, while the governmerfa
underestimated their capacity and
hesitated to call upon them for any.
service. The result has been serious
economic mistakes for which those
countries are paying dearly. In order
to avoid these plumbers VIC propose
to consider carefully the capacity Of
women to help in our own crisis and
to make definite proposal to the
government which we can guarantee,
to carry out successfully.
The first cry in Great Britain was
for munitions. Contracts were scat
tered everywhere, among companies
that could not hll them. High wages
finally attracted enough men. There
was new. unknown prosperity Then
the government found 1t needed the
men elsewhere. It pulled them out OF
the factories and put them in the
trenches where they earned little wo-s
men were substituted for them in the
factories at low wages. but not until
they had marched through the streets
OF London demanding that they be
given an opportunity to work 1t was
mistake not to take the women At
first. It was unnecessary to cause an
economic revolution by substituting
women for men on a new scale Of
wages. and introducing in factories
under stress of great demands for
products a large number OF ntraiu-:
ed hands which might have been
trained earlier under a more inteiii-s
gent system"
The National American Woman Suf-
frage association is equipped to render
genuine service, when 1t shall have
been determined what that service
shall be. 1t has an organization III
every congressional district in the
country. a state organization in each
state, and auxiliary organizations til
all large cities. It's membership ex-
ceeds 10000 women.

PROTESTS LABOR SENT
NORTH WITHOUT JOBS

Commissioner James b. Doherty, of
the department of labor. on Monday
received letter from George F. Miller,
chief statistician of the Industrial
Commission of Ohio. protesting
against the transportation of labor
to the North with promises of good
wages and inexpensive living. He
says that in Ohio they have this situa-
ton to contend with, and it has pro-
duced very undesirable state Of af-
fairs.
The Ohio official states that it is
the practice of INSCRIPTIONS private
employment agencies to send the men
North without first obtaining posi-
tons for them. with the result that
when they arrive they have neither
funds nor work. In his state, he says.
there has been a demand for labor
up to this time. but many OF the fac
tories are now cutting their forces.
For this reason he advises Mr.. Do
herty to notify workmen to first be
sure they have employments awaiting
them before they leave for Northern
cities.
Mr.. Doherty states that under the
Virginia labor laws 1t Is required that
all agencies. before sending out an
applicant for employment. must first
obtain in writing. a bona ffde order
therefor. stating the terms and condi-
tons of employment.
