That a wrong impression has gone
out that the State Labor Commission
Is aiding in the employment OF wo-
men In certain industries to- stake the
place Of men who enlist in the army
or navy was the statement made to
day BY Charles H. Grantland. State
Labor Inspector. Mr.. Grantland said
the Labor Commission Is not getting
employment for women. I'VE are not
acting as an employment agency for
men or women. nor do we expect 20"
said Mr.. Grantland. although We do
aid children who come within the
scope OF the law in getting desirable
places"
Mr.. Grantiand said the wrong Inn
preston evidently had gotten around
because some industrial plants and
other employers had inquired as to
Just how far they could go. under the
law. in employing women Among
others. such inquiries came from the
p, b 3 W and Baltimore and Ohio
railroads. The Labor Commission In
response to such inquiries interprets
the law regulating the employment
OF women In Delaware. but in no case
assists I'm the employment OF women.
In order to conform to the national
child labor law. the Joseph Bancroft
and Sons Company Is replacing some
OF the children in its employ With

befs Of the Big Sisters Society Of

sentatives Of the society made the trip
TO Augustine Beach on the Thomas

the alleged conditions really existed.
The representatives of the society
filed their report yesterday. They say
liquor flowed freely on the steamer
throughout the trip; that disgusting
scenes were enacted without any re-
straint; that the more conservative
element on the boat was forced 10 con
gregate in one place TO protect their
children from demoralizing sights, and
the conditions on the boat we're such as
20 warrant a thorough Official inyesti-
cation.
When questioned regarding the
charges made by the Big Sisters James
+. Otis, manager Of the steamboat de-
MED that conditions on the Thomas
Clyde were such as 10 ,Ssmand investi-
cation. According TO Otis. the boat has
always enjoyed the reputation Of being

The following Red Cross poem was

Smyrna. Del. and they we're read
at a Red Cross chain party which
was given on July 49, by Mrs N L.
Hoffecker and Miss A. D. Hough also

What mean these many gatherings OF
faithful hearts and true?
They are reminders OF when our
mothers met. to sew for the boys
in blue.
Alasi the boys in blue went forth 10
fight with the boys in gray.
But thank God that the blue and the
gray clasp hands In the light Of
our today
But again. the darkening war clouds.
come and we would be at a loss
To know just how, OF what TO do, but
for our great Red Cross.
We are praying for the dawn OF the
day of peace,
When this horrible, noxious, gaseous
war shall cease,
And our brave boys. who havs an
swered the nations call,
Shall be returned unscathed, and not
in the trenches fall.
Remember. boys, in this struggle, we
are standing side by side;
Father. mother, brother, sister and
also the young bride;
Each sacrificing the very best they
have TO give,
That the other, may have a fighting
chance, to live.
We no longer sit suplnely by the
hearth stone and weep,
But are always up and doing and
scarce take time to sleepl
For we know the things we are max
ing shall be neeted very soon,
And we trust that 10 our brave ones
these things may prove a boon.
