preyades the entire chapter is a very
fine one; service is the one thought
of all.

fresh impetus. During this month

of all women over Is years of age,
to register themselves for such SER

able to render the Acknowledgement

woman can do is to go to the regis

understand just what is asked of
her. There is a place for everybody
and it is our duty to answer this
call. This census may mean much
in the fight that our men have
gone out to make. Once more it is
urged that each woman think the
matter over and decide to at least
understand what it is that is being
asked of her by the National Coun-
Gil of Defense. There will be cards
given out at the Red Cross head
quarters this afternoon.

 NEW YOP% March F. Great ef- forts were made this afternoon to prevent the brotherhood ch.ef. fir, m carrying out their plans to call a general strike ol the railroads of .he country tonight. All efforts at arst seemed unavaling.
 A resort to the courts was finally taken by members of the four broth erhoods who are opposed to the plans of the leaders. They asked that an injunction be issued by the federal court to prevent the leaders calling the strike.
 The grounds of their suit were that the leaders have no authority for their action. They urged through their attorneys that the vote of the unions nine months ago was not ap- plicable to the present situation and was not intended when 1t was cast to give the chiefs power to call a strike at any future time. The vote last summer they con- tended, was to strike at a specified time and Is invalid at the present juncture.
