We have been offered free letter
from Washington, which is to take up
natts1s concerning industrial develop
mens after the war. It appears to us
that the main purpose Of the letter is
to help frame the public mind so that
the matter of retaining munition plants
and tho railroads, especially the latter,
by the government after the war, be
made to appear inadvisable.
Control Of the railroads by the gov
eminent after the war, will mean much
for the smaller centers according to a
statement quoted as coming from Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner McChord,
as under this system the large centers
will be unable to secure special freight
rates, which it is admitted in times past
has more than anything else, been re-
sponsible for the abnormal industrial
growth in these larger centers at the ex-
pense of the smaller towns.
Commissioner McChord says:
"Fhere are many considerations that
dictate a relocation of our manufacture
ing Industries. It costs more to do bus
mess in city than in the country. Land
values, construction of plants, taxes,
etc., constitute charges that must be
met from earnings. It costs more to
live in city than in the country. A
lower wage payment in the country than
in the city would enable the workman
to get more comforts Of life, to clothe
his family better and educate them
more adequately.
''If the factory is located near the
raw product there is saving in trans
portation costs which will be reflected
in net earnings.
II wage scales are to be readjusted
downward to meet conditions in times
OF peace, the wider diffusion Of factories
presents an alluring way out. What
the workman desires, and what he has
the right to demand, is an opportunity
to- live in comfort. Reduction in the
rate of his daily wage means, as he now
sees it, lessened opportunity to secure
to himself and his family those neces-
stiles which 60 to make comfort in daily
life.
''In most any country town Of 1900
or more population in the middle west
or south there is opportunity to live
better and enjoy more Of the real COM
forts Of life, at materially lower wages,
than even. an approach to the same
state o. livelihood can be secuAed in any
soaoestsd manufacturing center. II

Lewis, president of the Florida fed
Grafton. will spend today in Pensacola
and will be informally entertained by
the members of the federation of this

When seen at the San Carlos hotel
yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Lewis talk
ed most entertainingly of the work
of the federation in Florida, and OF
the great convention women which
she had just attended.
Never before has there been any
thing like it," she said. I'VE have
had larger meetings, because at this
time there are so many women en-
gagged in the work made necessary
through the war that only those at
tended whose presence was immedi-
ately necessary to the work. But
never any meeting so wonderful.
How can 1 tell you OF what they
have done. so much there seems
of great Importance. But, of course
il was war, war, war,-from the
opening until the close. We hardly
considered anything else. Every
branch of the work was in some
way connected in thought and action
with the spirit of the times. and the
note of patriotic service was at all
times dominant.
zone woman well known to Pen
sacolians who spoke to us was Miss
Agnes Ellen Harris-she talked on
food conservation, of course, and said
she would return to Florida again in
June OF course you know that she
has been in Washington for some
time on the Board of the Food Ad
ministration.
Something else that will be of spe-
cola was the endorsement of a resolu-
eral amendment"
When asked if she were personally
in favor of suffrage, Mrs. Lewis
laughed: ITO me-" she said. that
is such an unnecessary question at
this time, when suffrage is almost
here, when the times are demanding
of women they do the work of men.
1t is no longer a question of advocat-
ing suffra ge.-we are getting ready
for suffrage-that is the main thing.
We are endeavoring to educate the
women of the country, and through
the Florida federation, the women of
this state. to the responsibilities
which they face. By-the-way, one of
