The interest of Richmond women
in the return of the Howitzers was
exhibited Monday afternoon at 4
o'clock when one hundred appeared
at the meeting of the committee on

were made as the departure of the
Howitzers from the border is uncer-
tain. but Mrs. John w. Myers. was
made general chairman.
AS soon as official reports are re-
ceived as to when the troops may be
expected other meetings will he call

RICHMOND PAINTERS
DEMAND PAY INCREASE
Agreements Submitted BY Union To
Contractors Call For
$3.50 Day

Painters and Psperhangers union.
No. 1918. along with nearly every
other building trade union affiliated
with the building trades council, has
submitted agreements TO the con-
tracing painters and paperhangers
of Richmond for the ensuing year.
These agreements call for $500 and
an eight hour day for the painters
and $3.50 for paperhangers. This is
the first increase asked by Richmond
painters and paperhangers in many
years
BY reason of the exorbitant prices
demanded for the necessaries of life,
Richmond painters find 1t all but i'm
possible to live on the prevailing
wages. Wages in every other city in
the nation the size of Richmond are
much higher than they are here and
even the increased wages will be less
than in most cities now. No trouble
is expected as II Is believed the en-
ployers will readily agree to the very
conservative demands.
The union is backed by the Broth
erhood OF Painters. Decorators and
Paperhangers of America with nearly
one hundred thousand members
throughout the United States and
Canada, and the local union mum bers
approximately three hundred. The
Building Trades council and the Cen
trail Trades and Labor Council OF
Richmond also stand behind the local
union in its demands One of the
prominent local officials today stated
that the members here could easily
90 to other cities within few hours
journey of Richmond and secure the
prevailing rates of $500 TO $500 a
day.

The railroad embargo against agri-
cultural goods has become acute. The
steam railroads and electric lines
throughout a great many states are
overtaxed with freight. They cannot
move the merchandise that Is being
offered for transportation. 1t now
seems probable the railroads will
make the great mistake OF placing an
embargo upon all agricultural mer-
chandise except perishable food prod
ucts. The danger is that not only
will the railroads refuse to carry
agricultural implements and other
supplies, bat they will also decline
fertilizers, agricultural chemicals and
machinery.
We shall use the entire power and
influence Of Orange Judd organiza-
ton to avert this new danger II
