RAILROAD TO EMPLOY
WOMEN DURING WAR
Pennsylvania Workers Called by Gov
eminent Will Be Replaced by Women.

To aid in the conservation of labor,
and in conformity with the necessities
created BY the war, which will require
the services OF every citizen, the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad yesterday an
nounced that wherever possible they will
employ girls and women.
No men will be dropped from the pay
rolls. Stenography, typewriting and prac-
tically all other kinds OF clerical work
win be open to women at once.
An investigation will be conducted to
ascertain whether girls and women may
be employed in the lighter forms or
machine shop work, telegraphy, teIe-
phony. signalling, train dispatching,
ticket selling and car cleaning,
The object of the railway company is
to release men from work that can as
well be performed by women, to prepare
for the probability that selective con-
scriptlon will ultimately result in a con-
siderable depletion of the forces of male
employees.
While the Pennsylvania Railroad is the
first large corporation to make publiU
announcement of this intention, 1t is
understood that the Standard OIL COM
pany and other large concerns are also
planning to employ as many girls and
women as possible.

IAN Mexicans who know and appre-

Auditorium, Buffalo, N. r, Nov. 1S.-
President Wilson made personal and
eloquent appeal here for the full sup.
port Of organized labor for the gov.
ernment In the conduct Of the war,
Speaking before the annual conven-
ton Of the American Federation OF
Labor he declared the war could not
be won unless all factions unite in 4
common cause. sinking their differ.
ences, and made 1t clear that he op'
poses peace until this war against Ger
many has been won.
The President paid wafm tribute to
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, and
virtually called upon the Federation to
give him united support. He de-
nounced pacifists and critics and aD'
pealed for cooperation.
Discussing Germany, tho President
declared fatty that Germany had
started the war. and that he was viii.
ling to await the verdict of history on
that statement.
New irstrumentalities for better CO
operation between labor and capital
was one suggestion by the President
which was of prime interest to the
delegates Of the convention
The President alluded to the present
war "as the last decisive issue be.
tween the old principles of power and
the new principles of freedom" II be-
lieve," he said. that the spirit Of free.
dom can get into the hearts OF Ger.
mans and find as fine a welcome
there as 1t can find in any other
hearts. But the spirit of freedom does
not suit the plans of the pan-Germans.
Power cannot be used with concen-
trated force against the free peoples
II 1t is used by free people.
"You know" he continued, "how
many limitations come to us from one
Of the central powers that it is more
anxious for peace than the chief CEN
tral power, and you know that 1t
means that the people in that central
power know that IL the, war ends as 1t
stands they will in effect themselves
be vassals of Germany, notwithstand-
ing that their populations are COM
pounded of all the people of that part
of the world, and Notwithstanding the
fact that they do not wish in their
pride and proper spirit Of nationality
to be absorbed and dominated"
Referring in another part Of his
speech to Russia, the President said:
MAY not say it is amazing to me
that any group Of people should be SO
i'll informed as to suppose, as some
groups in Russia apparently suppose,
that any reforms planned In the inter.
est Of the people can live in the pres
ence of a Germany powerful enough
to undermine or overthrow them by
intrigue or force? Any body Of free
men that compounds with the German
government compounds for its own de-
struction."
Samuel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation of Labor, intro
ducing Mr.. Wilson. referred to him as
"this man Of destiny, spokesman for
freedom, interpreter of the aims and
spirit of our time, leader Of thoughts
and actions among the nations of the

ourselves in the great day of our Dec
laration of Independence by taking up
arms against tyranny that threaten
ed to master and debase men every
where and joining with other free peo-
pies in demanding for all the nations
Of the world what we then demanded
and obtained for ourselves. In this
day of the revelation of our duty not
only to defend our own rights as ma
ton. but to defend also the rights Of
free men throughout the world, there
has been vouchsafed US in full and In
spring measure the resolution and
spirit Of united action.
We have been brought to one mind
and purpose. A new vigor Of common
counsel and common action has been
revealed in. US. We should especial
ly thank God that in such circum-
stances, in the midst of the greatest
enterprise the spirits of men have ever
entered upon, we have, II we but OBJ
serve a reasonable and practicable
economy, abundance with which to
supply the needs of those associated
with us as well as our own. A new
light shines about us. The great
duties of a day awaken a new and
greater national spirit in US. We shall
never again be divided or wonder what
stuff we are made of.
And while we render thanks for
these things let US pray Almighty God
that in all humbleness Of spirit we
may look always to Him for guidance;
that we may be kept constant in the
spirit and purpose of service; that by
His grace our minds may be directed
and our hands strengthened; and that
in His good time liberty and security
and peace and the comradeship Of q
common justice may be vouchsafed all
the nations of the earth.
