Although the President did not

Mrs. Gait. I'VE made clear to him
that we believe 1t is the duty of the
nation to grant the Federal amendment
now. In order that the women may
be saved the expense and the long

was going to fight with US. that he
was at heart a very sincere sufrragist.
The National Woman Suffrage Associa-

great many favors Of him in the past
year. and he has done his best to
grant every one. To-day we outlined
to him the program we have before us,
and he said he did not see any reason
why we should not carry 1t out. We
believe that he is going to do every
thing that he can to help u.s."

BANNED FOR WAR PERIOD
Sir Stephenson Kent Tells New York
Employers and Employees Of
British Labor Troubles.
MUNITIONS ACT UNITEs ALL
Removes Probability OF Disagree
ments Hampering Governments
War Plans-Mcn and Won c n
Move at Discretion OF Minister.
IBy Associated Press,


NEW YORK, November 9.-Mcmbors
of the special mission to the United
States from the British Ministry OF
Munitions, at conference here o-day
with manufacturers in oil, leather and
rubber trades, told how Great Britain
has treated the labor problem since the
outbreak of the war. The conference
was the first Of series in this city
with employers and employees In all
lines OF industry
Sir Stephenson Kent. head OF the
mission. admitted that Great Britain
blundered at the beginning of the war
in sending SO many skilled workers to
the front. Employers associations and
trades-unions then agreed to the mu-
nitions act. The unions agreed to
abandon all restrictive operations for
the period of the war, SO that en-
ployers can make use OF any kind Of
labor In any kind OF employment.
Women and unskilled workers. under
its provisions. may take the place OF
skilled craftsmen to facilitate work.
The wages are fixed definitely. 1t was
made illegal to strike or demand an
increase I'm pay during the war. and all
labor disputes must be presented to
the Minister of Munitions.
1t was made unlawful for one en-
ployer to cntice men from another
through promise of higher pay This
prevented shifting and unsettled con-
ditions in the labor market. Tho
profits of the employer were definitely
fixed.
WORKMEN ARE MOVED
WHERE SERVICES ARE NEEDED
1t was explained that IL guns were
the need of the moment, then skilled
Lob
nance factories. II ships were the
chief peed. the same men went TO the
shipyards.
But in no case. Sir Stephenson said.
did tho government adopt any system
OF labor CONSUMPTION. To attempt to
compel labor to work anywhere, the
British considered unwise, and the gov
crnment relied upon public opinion to
put the munitions act through, he
stated.
More than 100000 skilled men make
up tho munition volunteers, he ex-
planned. and they travel from plant to
plant and accept the wages of the dis
trict.
An army of 100000 Is also engaged
in the work. The women. the COM
missioner declared. will return to their
normal occupations. now temporarily
nonexistent, after the war. The women
are the wives, sisters and mothers Of
the men at the front, and the men. on
their return. will so back to their old
places and the women back to their
normal status
commission OF production was
created TO study the cost OF living. II
investigates three times a year the
cost of the necessities of life, and
when It has found big increase. 1t
orders that the laborng men receive
a fixed sum to compensate them for
the increase. The government gives
this money with the understanding that
II is not to be considered-a raise in
wages. but merely TO offset the added
cost OF living.
