In order to pay their board bill at 4

House gates. Miss Alice Paul Of the

to raise funds, for they are suffrage
workers as well. and haze been en-
deavoring to interview President Will

I'VE intend to 20 back to our work
soon. There Is an order that must be
filled that should be in the trenches

back as soon as the work slacks up q
bit. We havn't been very successful
with the President SO far" admitted
Miss Ruth Creighton, a worker from
the Bartlett-Haywood plant at Balti-
more.
Mrs. Gait Gets the Glory
The Woman's Party, which has
made no secret Of being behind the
munition workers in their efforts to
see the President in order to ask him
to push the amendment through the
Senate, was prepared to enjoy q long
tussle with the chief executive. The
former pickets probably experienced
a tinge of disappointment when they
learned that Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait, head OF the rival national or
ganization OF suffragists, obtained q
letter from President Wilson yester-
day afternoon in which he urges the
Senate to pass the suffrage amend
ment this session.
The only message that has come
to the munition workers was a let
ter signed by Joseph P. Tumulty,
the Presidents secretary, which
says:

thank you for your letter OF May %,

5000 Bureau Clerks Work in Day
and Night Shifts.

More than 100000 government
checks have been sent out to date
by the Bureau Of War Risk Insur-
ance, it was announced last night.
Most OF these have gone in the
form of allotment and allowance
payments to the families Of the en-
listed men in the army and navy
The grand total disbursements of
the bureau up to June 10 aggregate
more than $ss.oo0,ooo. of which ss7,-
100000 is for allotments and allow
ances. Checks are going forward
at the rate Of more than $4,000 q
month. About $4,000 checks for

that nothing you or your associates
could say could possibly increase
his very deep interest in the matter,
and that he has been doing every
thing that he could with honor and

ment"
Work Turns Complexions
The party of 36 pickets was made
up Of workers from the Bethlehem
Steel Plant at Newark. N. J.. and
the Bartlett-Haywood Plant at Bal
timore.
The work in which they have been
engaged has had an unusual effect
upon the women. Their skin has
turned yellow and their hair to
shades of red ranging from Titan
to bright orange.
TT seems to me-" said Miss Alice
DeMent, whose hair was a particu-
larly bright and peculiar hue, q" that
people don't realize what women are
doing in this country. We are risking
our lives every minute. There are
bound to be explosions in our fac
tories. The roof was blown off our
loading plant more than once. and II
makes my blood boil to think that the
Senate won't give us the vote, and
women munition workers have been
waiting to see the President for
weeks about it."
Do Dangerous Tasks
The work they do is dangerous to
both life and health. The chemicals
fhey handle have a peculiar effect on
the kidneys, much like painters
collie" They handle the highest Of
all explosives in making detonators.

AS an indication Of the constant
danger they are in they are required
to wear small round photographs OF
themselves and their registration

POLICE DIVORCE.
FROM TROLLEY
PAY IS URGED
Debate All That Delays
Passage Of Appropria-
ton Bill.

In almost record time the Sen
ate sailed through the District ap-
propriations bill yesterday and I'm
ished debate upon it, all except one
the proposed increase for
the police department. The half
and-half plan sticks.
On motion of Senator Smoot. the
question went over until this morn
ing. There was no objection to
any of the committee amendments
except the amendment which trans
fers 56 trafiic policemen from the
payroll of the street car companies
to the police department payroll.
A separate vote on this provision
will be taken this morning and II
is likely that Senator Smoot will
vigorously oppose the proposed
change.
Only City That Allows II.
Senator John Walter Smooth, of
Maryland. chairman Of the Senate
District Committee came to the de-
fense Of the amendment and in
formed Senator Smoot that WASH
ington was the only city In the
country that allowed its policemen
to be paid their salaries by q cor
poration. The city traffic police
man. stated Senator Smith. should
not be under the slightest obliga-
tion to any corporation.
The new National Guard. soon to be
created, will have in its treasury
$4,000 which was left over in the
treasury of the National Guard now
in Federal service. This was pro-
vided for in an amendment intro
duced and passed by the Senate
yesterday.
Unless the debate on the provi-
sion providing for the salary in
creases for the. police department
and the transfer of the traffic po-
llcemen drags out the bill will pass
the Senate early this afternoon.

SAYS :
NONFIGHTERS
AREPATRIOTS
Agriculture Secretary De-
tends Deferred Class
Men.

David +. Houston, Secretary Of Az
riculture, In q report submitted to the
Senate Committee on Agriculture, re-
garding the amendment by the House
to the pending Food Production Act
for 1913. forbidding the payment Of
salaries, under this act. to any man
who has been placed in deferred mill
tary classification on account of his
employment by the Department, says:
1T is unjust to characterize as
slackers the patriotic men who are
rendering patriotic service in the De-
partment, many of them at no little
sacrifice. They are not only not
slackers, but are performing very
vital emergency strvice for the win
ming Of the war"
The House Amendment, II Il re-
mains in the Bill" the Secretary
says, will make 1t exceedingly difi-
cult for the Department to carry out
its program to secure the increased
production OF food, feedstuffs and live
stock. and also to maintain the activi-
ties authorized by the food produc-
ton act"
Mr.. Houston submits with his re-
port letter from Secretary Baker.
Baker Approves.
Such deferred classifcations as
have been made at the request of
the Department OF Agriculture" /"
Secretary Baker wrote, seem en-
tirely justified, and the War De-
partment cheerfully recognizes the
fact that the needs of the army have
been considered by you in such de-
ferred classification requests and
have met with approval"
In addition to the statement sub
mitted by Secretary Houston, the
Senate Committee has heard elabor-
ate testimony from officers of the
Department of Agriculture, who ex-
planned the difficulties experienced
in securing and retaining trained
men to perform the highly urgent
and essential activities Of the De-
partment. The facts presented show:
1. Since the United States enter
ed the war. the Department has lost
the services of 6.04S regular en-
ployes, 1857 of whom have entered
Ine mllltary service.
2. The personal interests Of the
employees were not considered. nor
was the employe consulted in any
case. recommendations were made.
in accordance with the spirit and
purpose of the Selective Service
Law and Of the regulations issued
by the War Department hereunder.
8. That no men have been recon-
mended for deferred classification
who were performing purely cleri-
cal work
T. That only EOS men in the Dis
trict OF Columbia, all of whom, with
the exception of only eight admin
istrative assistants performing re-
sponsible executive work, are sci
entiflc or technical employees. have
been deferred on the Departments
5. That of 5.S55 men OF draft age
in the Department, not over 1.700 In
cluding county agents and other ex-
tension workers. chemists, veterin-
arians, meat inspectors and experts
in the various branches of agri-
culture, have been placed in deferred
classification at the request of the
Department. OF these at least 800
were deferred for other reasons,
such as dependency. physical dis
ability. and the like. as we'll as for
Departmental reasons.
