 In a Very Quiet Manner

New York, April S.-Easter, the first
 Sunday of the war, passed quietly here
 today.
 Easter congregations at the churches
 were larger than usual and there was
 an added note of seriousness in the con-
 ferences as prayers were offered for di-
 vine guidance of the nation. Notwithstanding dark clouds and chill
 winds the fashion parade on Fifth ave-
 nue assumed it's usual proportions. But in the famous thoroughfare there was no lack of patriotic appeal. Flags floated from the roofs and fronts of buildings
 and the Stars and Stripes in miniature were worn by many.
 The work of preparing the city for hostilities went on without interruption, while government agents continued their activities in running down suspected aliens.
 The recruiting committee of the may ors committee on national defense an- nounced tonight that the mayors of more than 300 cities had been requested to CO., operate in national recruiting cam paign. It is intended to duplicate the ride of Paul Revere on the anniversary of the battle of Lexington, April IS, when the famous poem will be read in theatres, churches and schoolhouses and depicted on the screens in motion picture houses, while on April 19 the anniversary of the l rout of the English at Concord bridge, the modern Lexington alarm will be sounded by airplanes. the ringing of l church bells. fire bells and the blowing | of factory whistles. i Some of the leading cities of the coun- 1 try already have notified the committee that they will cooperate in the move

ards, the same should be made only after such proposed changes have been investi- gated and approved by the council of national defense.
 9 That the council of national defense urge upon the legislatures of the states, as well as all administrative agencies charged with the enforcement of labor and health laws, the great duty of rigor- ously maintaining the existing safe- guards as to the health and welfare of workers and that no departure from such present standards, in state laws or state ruling affecting labor should be taken without declaration of the coun- cil of national defense that such depar- ture is essential for the effective pursuit of the national defense.
 B. That the council of national defense urge upon the legislatures of the several states that before final adjournment they delegate to the governments of their re- spctive states the power to suspend or modify. restrictions contained in their la- bor laws when such suspensions or modi- ficat;ons shall be requested by the coun- cil of national defense; and such a sus- pension CT modification, when made, shall continue for specified period and not longer than the duration of the war"
 The council hopes that the last pro- posal will result in flexible regulations, particularly those relating to hours of labor, which the council might deem re- strictions to proper prosecution of the war.
