Told to Quit Cameron House, They
Begin Investigation.

New camping grounds will be Sc
cured by the militant suffraglsts and
IL necessary they will have tented
headquarters to carry on their fight
for suffrage, according to word given
out at Cameron House last night.
Announcement was made that a
new charge against the White House
gates by pickets will be a feature of
their activities within the next few
days.
Served with a notice to "quit" his
toric Cameron House by October 10.
Mrs. Abby Scott Baker. chief marshal
OF their forces, left last night for
Philadelphia to find out from head
quarters the purport OF the dispossess
edict.
I'VE have paid our rent" said Mrs.
Baker before leaving, "and we will
get out IL We have to. but we want
to know definitely why we are
obliged to move. The local agent says
that we are model tenants"
The 'suffs' are highly indignar
over the treatment accorded them by
the landlord and scent a plot on
behalf of the Democratic and Repub-
lican politicians opposed TO their
They claim their lease includes a
"gentleman's agreement" that the
property would not be sold without
their knowledge and a further option,
held by Mrs. William Kent. that per-
niits them to submit an offer in COM
petition. in the event Of a bid on the
property.
The Fidelity Trust Co., of Philadel-
phia, is trustee for the heirs. one OF
whom is Vance Mccormick. chairman
OF the Democratic National Commit
tee. None OF the National Woman
Party Officers accuse Mr.. Mccormick
OF being responsible for the order TO
get ready to move, but some of them
hint his connection is significant. Mr..
Mccormick denies the allegation.
Yesterday a number of the mill
tants looked around for new quarters.
The old Cameron House is comfort
able and cozy and the 'suffs" claim
they have gone to considerable ex-
pense in having partitions built and
improvements made that would make
it more homelike. They dislike the
order to move. but they are believers
in preparedness and are acting ac-
cordinSly.

Railroad Employees
Plant "War" Gardens

Nearly 100 war gardens" are being
cultivated, this summer. on vacant
land of the Pennsylvania Railroad
and its lines east of Pittsburgh. by
employees, for the use of themselves
and their families. The value of the
crops raised will probably exceed
s2,500. 900.
Altogether more than 1000 acres
have been planted, and are now pro-
ducing crops of potatoes, peas. beans.
tomatoes, corn, and various other gar
den vegetables. The average size of
each plot of railroad land, titled by
an employe, falls just short of an
acre.
Special arrangements were made
this spring by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road to induce employees to take up
unoccupied land belonging to the COM
pany and plant 1t for the purpose
of assisting in increasing the nation's s
food supply. Through the real estate
department of the company. a plan
was worked out whereby any employe
could, without formality, obtain the
use of as much land as he could
properly cultivate, and upon a mere
nominal rental.

MANY AFTER JOBS
With GOVERNMENT
Officers of Federal Trade Commits
sion Swamped with Applicants.

Reports of a shortage of skilled
office help in Washington on ac-
count of war demands are appar-
emily proved groundless by, the way
in which the Federal Trade Com
mission was swamped yesterday in
answer to the appeal for more help.
The work was advertised as be-
ing only temporary, yet the rush
was so great to I'LL the jobs that the
papers were appealed too late yes
terday to inform would-be appli-
cants that more than enough had
applied to meet present demands.
About seventy-five presented them
selves during the day. with more
still coming to the orfice of the COM
mission and telephoning in their re-
quests for work.
OF this number about fifty were
picked out as having the special
qualifications wanted.
Salaries for those selected will
range from 5000 to $4,000 yearly,
and no Civil Service tests are i'm
posed on applicants.
Men only arc wanted for this
work, which is in connection with
the recent probes conducted by the
Trade Commission into the status
of iron, coal. steel and other in
dustries directely connected with
the national defense.
