censorship was lifted. he put them all

The average time from the cable Of

But every private cable still goes to
the censor.
This was requested by the British
and allied censorships abroad, they
told me at 90 Broad street, as peace
has not been declared. The allied gov
crnments, also, do not want German
commercial agents to use cables secret
ly for trade plans.
Before the news censorship was HIT
ed, the division OF foreign press and

formation, headed by Walter S. Rogers
as director, worked In the same build

WOMEN PROTEST
SMYl'II'S ORDER

Assistant Director-G General N. A.
Smyth, Of the United States EN-
ployment Service, who, in the alb
sence of DircctOr-General Densmore.
issued General Order B-7 in regard
to the placing of women workers
and the establishment of community
labor boards, is under a fire of criti-
cism and protest from women all over
the country, according to information
received at the Washington head
quarters Of the National Women's
Trade Union League. Individual
women leaders, state suffrage asso-
Citations and various other women's
organizations, including the Middle
West conference of the department
of women-in-industry of the Woman's
Committee of the Council of Ma
tional Defense, just held in Chicago,
have filed protest with the Secretary
of Labor against the paragraph of
General Order b. prescribing the
powers of women members of the
community labor boards recently es-
tablished by the United States EN-
ployment Service all over the coun-
try. The paragraph in question reads:
Upon all questions concerning the
utilization of women in industry, the
two women members of the com
munity labor board shall have full
voting powers. They shall be ex-
officio and non-voting members of
the board in respect to other mat
ters, but shall be invited to attend
all meetings of the board"
This restriction, according to of
ficers of the National Women's Trade
Union League, is Objectionable. first.
because it is a fundamental viola
ton of the principal of equal rights.
AS an objection in its practical APP
plication, they cite especially the
denial of the right of the women
members Of the board to vote on
the personnel of the local employ
ment offices. AS to this they fear
that the result will be both the neg
lect of women's interests if left en-
tirely in the hands of men, and the
abuse of the community labor boards
for political ends. The very fact of
their specific exclusion from a vote
on questions of personnel makes
them suspicious. why do the men
fear our vote on personnel" they
ask.

THE KNOCKER"

Labor unions are not bit differ
ont from other assemblages where
men and women gather TO proclaim
brotherhood or to achieve bettarment
for their fellows.
Always present is the "kocker" of
labor leaders, of the local officers.
He is of two types, the loud and
noisy b,aggart or the sneerng, Sc
cret conspirator.
Alas, it requires so little brains to
SANDER ones brother!
The tongue Of the slanderer is a
devouring fire which furnishes what
ever it touches; which exercises its
fury on the good grain, equally on
the chaff; on the profane, as on the
sacred; which, wherever it passes
, leaves only desolation and ruin; digs
even into the bowels of the earth,
and fixes itself on things the most
hidden; turns into vile ashes what
only q moment before had appeared
TO us so precise and brilliant; acts
with more violence and danger than
ever in the time when it was ap-
parently smothered up and almost ex-
tinct; which blackens what it can
not consume, and sparkles and de-
lights before it destroys.
Evil-speaking is an assembage of
iniquity; secret pride, which dis
covers to US the mote in our broth
er's eye, but eludes the beam which
is in our own; mean envy, which,
hurled at the talents or prosperity
of others, makes them the subject
of its censures, and studies to dim
the splendor of whatever outshines
itself; a disguised hatred, which
sheds, in its speeches, the hidden
venom of the heart; an unworthy
duplicity, which praises to the face
and tears to pieces behind the back;
shameful levity, which has no COM
mand over itself or its words, and
often sacrifices both fortune and
comfort to the imprudence of an
amusing conversation; deliberate
barbarity, which goes to pierce your
absent brother; scandal, where
you become subject of shame and
sin to those who listen to you; an
injustice, where you ravish from
your brother what is dearest to
him.
SANDER is a restless evil, which
disturbs society, spreads dissention
through cities and countries, dis
unites the strictest friendships; is
the source of hatred and revenge;
fills wherever it enters, with dis
turbances and confusion, and every
where is an enemy to peace, com
fort and Christian good BREEDING
