en- AS Substitute for
Registration.

Washington, June Pin an officia
announcement today Attorney Gener
al Gregory renewed attention to ths
provision Of the army draft law
which provides that no man car
choose Imprisonment as a substitute
for registration, but will suffer the
first and be compelled TO do the lat.
ter if he resists.
1t has come to the notice of
the department" said the attor-
ney-general, that certain disloya1
citizens who are themselves be-
yond the CONSUMPTION age, are
suggesting to the young men of
the country that it is better to
suffer Imprisonment under the
terms Of the CONSUMPTION act than
to register with the likelihood Of
being enlisted and compelled to
serve at the front. Attention is
called to the fact that under sec
ton of this act parties convict
ed on the charge Of evading reg
istration are not only punished
for thes crime committed but are
thereupon duly registered with
all the liability for military SER
vice resulting therefrom.'

TAKE STEPS TO
HOLD WAGES OF
men TO NORMAL
Women to Fight for Equal
Pay For Women
Workers.

The first work that engaged the at
tention of the Central War Service
Committee of the Connecticut Woman
Suffrage Association was the provis-
ion and planting of lots and gardens.
This work is now well started all
over the state and the Central Com
n1ittee is turning it's attention in 9TH
er directions. Two forms of work
are now considered of chief import
ance. One is the conservation of
food and the other the task of
guarding women workers against
underpay and bad working eondi-
tons.
In pursuit of the first mentioned,
the members of the Central Commit
tee voted at their last meeting to go
to Storrs and attend the first course
in canning that is given next week
by the Connecticut College of Agri-
culture. Since this determination
was arrived at large number of
Suffragists all over the state have in
timated their intention to be present
at the College at the same time. The
object of the women is two-fold. The
knowledge acquired will be put into
operation in their own households and
also most of the women are intending
to conduct demonstrating classes for
the local leagues on their return
home.
The second form of work--the
guarding of women workers and their
interests IS especially: recommended
by Mrs, Carrie Chapman Gait, presi-
dent of the National American Wom-
an Suffrage association. Mrs. Gait,
in an appeal for cooperation, address,
ed both to men and women, points
out that in the near Future many
women will be called upon to do
work formerly done by men.
As women have clearly shown
their ability to do such work, there
will be a danger after the war is over
of employers using women to under
cut the men and to lower the level
Of wages, unless the principle is
clearly laid down of equal pay for
equal work.
When woman takes a mans place
1t NJ for, the interest Of the men Just
as much as of the women that she
should receive full pay for her work.
The Central Var Service Committee
will appeal for cooperation not only
to the women and to the workine
men but also to employers; for this
is g form of patriotic service which
will require the willing consent OF
the employers, and the Central Com
mittee is hoping to meet with ready
desperation all around
