Washington has been stirred for a

bureau-as simple ~. Rankin" with
Jack Connolly of Boston, secretary to
Representative Carter, of Mass

Miss Rankin found, she charged,
that women are forced by Director
Ralph to work uncomfortable hours.
She took the question UP with the
treasury department, but was unable
to obtain satisfaction. Then she
determined to introduce a resolution
demanding congressional investiga-
ton. A point of Miss Rankin's
speech will be that though Ralph de-
Tended the overtime work by citing
the war and stated he could not OBJ

her there are five hundred girls wait

People Would Obey.
NO REASON TO ARGUE
public is Behind President In Every
thing Else He Asks, Why
Not Try Them Out
In This.
NO REASON TO ARGUE

IF President Wilson will proclaim
one meatless day and one wheatless
day each week, the people OF this
country will gladly agree to the plan,
and we wouldn't need to wait for
congress-
This is the way local man, who by
the way, is a republican. but who
insists that the people are standing
back of the president In everything,
looks at the situation. He thinks that
a lot of wrangling and talking by con-
gress over the question could be dis
pensed with, were the president to
authorize such situation.
THE people have stood back OF
Mr. Wilson in everything he has ask
ed of them so far" he said. "and I'll
be willing to wager that If he made
this one request, that would be all
that would be necessary. The peo-
pie supported him in the Red Cross
drive, the selective draft and in the
Liberty loan subscriptions They
would surely come to his side If he
were to ask them to abstain from
meat and wheat bread once each
week, or more II necessary. II we
are at the point where we must con-
serve. let's do 1t now, and then it
won't hit us all Of a heap, later"
Meatless days during the week
would not work a hardship on people
since there are many substitutes now
for meat, and since the home econ
omics schools are coming to the
rescue with so many meatless menus
of late.

Petrograd. via London, May S0-The
food minister. NJ. Pieschehonoff today
unfolded the serious economic situation
to the congress of officers delegates
from the front. in explaining that it
had been impossible as yet TO establish
a grain monopoly owing to the comph-
Gated oreaniza ton required. On the eve
of the rev olutioa he said, there was viz
tually no wheat available. The supplies
had increased in March, but had dWin-

arrived The shipments now arriving
were bigger, but far from normal and
the people would probably lee obliged
to face a still further shortage. Other
grains. especially oats. were also
scarce. He feared that even after the
grain moHopoly was organized the sit
uaticn would not be improved, because

ants demanded raw materials and iron

Interpretations

The government will be asked in both
the Chamber Of Deputies and the SEN
ate this week what the official attitude
is toward the attendance of French
delegates at the international Socialist
conference In Stockholm and whether
passports will be issued to such dele
gates.
The moderate Radicals, one of the
strongest parties in the Senate. held
a meeting this afternoon to discuss the
situation. Senator Henry Cheron will
bc delegated to ask the government to
define its attitude.
Liberal Democrats represented by
Emile Chautemps will put the same
question.
1t is pointed out the Stockholm con-
ference is in no sense a peace confer

tive gathering of the Socialists of bel
ligerent countries to consider questions
proposed and decide whether q real
