positions they lost when they refused
to work with colored employees. three
women workers of the Bureau OF En-
craving and Printing are looking to-
day to Miss Jeannette Rankin, Con-
gresswoman from Montana. for re
dress. The cases of the worHcn wei
brought to Miss Rankin's attention
last night at a meeting oI b"rcau
employees in Typographical Temple
Director of the Bureau Ralph said
today 25 per cent Of the employees are
coIored and that it is becoming an ir-
creasingly hard problem to handle
the situation. "The girls wsre Eus
pended when they refused to DO work
to which they were assigned said
Director Ralph. II was tcld th"ir
refusal was on account Of ihc fact
that coiorsd women were working On
machines adjoining them"
The omen who have appeared to
Miss Rankin for redress are Misses
Vivian A. Symond. Mary ]. Han and
Edith Landvoight.

COTTON CROP GREATER.

The condition of the cotton crop or
September 25 was 6O.4 per cent, a.
compared with SIS on August %; 56.s
on September 26. 1915; COS on Sep
tember 20, 1915, and 65.7. the average
on September 25 for the past ten
years.
There was deterioration during
September over almost the entire cot
ton belt. II was heaviest in those
States which last month showed the
best conditions. Insects, boil worms
and boil weevils caused the heaviest
loss. Cool weather. shedding,
drought. the lack OF potash in fertil-
izer. and, in the extreme eastern belt,
storm damage also caused loss.
The yield per acre, indicated for
1917 for the entire country Is 1854
pounds, against 1866 for 1916, and
1918 for the ten-year average.

]. A. WHITFIELD co.
GIVES BUTCHERS RAISE

The ]. A. Whitfield Company, 623
B street northwest, wholesale meat
dealers, today announced that 1t has
given butchers in its employ 10 per
cent increase in wages and a nine
hour day. Formerly the men worked
ten hours a day and received SIS to
$50 a week.
The action OF the J. A. Whitfield
Company and that of the n. Auth
Provision Company IN granting more
favorable working conditions to their
butchers came as the result of agita-
ton among more than $50 sausage
makers and butchers who have been
organizing and clamoring for more
wages. These two houses are the
first to meet the demands OF the new
union. Other firms probably will
grant the butchers more money and
better hours to avert a strike.

CONGRESS SEATS
IN ARGENTINA

BUENoS AIRES. Oct. 2.-The So
cialist members OF Congress have re-
signed as a result of the complicated
national and international situation.
Food prices, already doubled by the
general strike, trebled today when the
last line Of communication between the

by strikers. Decision of stevedores to
.oin the strike tied up the entire port
nf Ruenos Aires. All railroads are
already stopped.
The government still withheld a

TAX WILL RAISE
S2,535,OOO,OOO

Senator Simmons today reduced
by nearly 5000. 900. 900 the estimates
formerly made of the revenue to be
raised by the war revenue bill. Sim
mons, presenting the conference re-
port on the bill to the Senate, said
the bill would produce $2,535. .OOO,0O
Earlier estimates OF Finance Commit
tee members and Treasury experts
were that 1t would bring $2,T16,-

Committee members earlier estimated
the conference amendments would
produce an increase of from $3.50, 0,000,-

This was explained today by the
fact that accurate tabulations and

CAMP MEADE MEN
STORM WOODP|LES,
TAKE MUCH FUEL

CAMP MEADE, Nd, Oct 2.-The di-
vision Of drafted men, the first mem
bers OF the great conscript army to
be converted into soldiers here, went
into action this morning, while bands
played and while Gen. Joseph f. Kuhn,
from a much exposed point on Tower
Hill, viewed the ceremony.
The men, besides going through a
regular military drill, took occasion
to clear a large tract of land of
stumps and fallen timber, for use in
the cook stoves.
Across the barbed wire entangle-
ments left by Anne Arundel farmers,
over bitches and dynamite holes, the
men went forward with a rush, thou
sands of dark, shadOwy figures
against the glare OF the sun. Right
through a barrage of burning brush
they went, and at the signal from Of
icers they jumped into a lumber pile
and made it seem a memory in jiffy.
No Time Lost.
No time must be lost, the officers
said. 1t was urgent because the cooks
said so. Cooking depends upon fuel,
and the officers decided that there
was to be no repetition of the reck-
less burning up OF short end lumber
and other good fuel. Fuel is being
piled up against that day when the
cold, northern blasts sweep over these
bleak fields. From Tower Hill It was
a great sight. The band Of the 315th
Regiment played stirring music while
the long lines swung around, de
ployed, and then charged on the piles.
piles of brush, sending clouds of
smoke into the air for miles.
Lieutenant Colonel Ross announced
today that visitors will not be well
come unless they obtain a pass in ad-
vance. Even then as few as possible
are desired. 1t Is a stern business
going on here. While the spectacle of
10000 men in training is thrilling. and
at times almost dazzling. General
Kuhn is not running a show for the
crowds. Leaves for men will be few
and only in case of death or crItIcaI
illness for overnight away from
camp.
To Maintain Order.
An emphatic warning against
bringing whiskey into camp was
sounded today, and II was announced
that military police force will be en-
larEed. Announcement was made from
another direction that larger facili-
ties for locking up prisoners will be
erected near Admiral. The law and
order forces outside the camp are &c.
termined to put an end to petty
crimes.
Efforts will be made to prevent the
wholesale picking OF pockets that pre-
vailed last pay day among workmen.

the thought that among the GAL en-
listed men and fifty-fve officers who
left Washington today some may
never return.
