PLEASED OVER

Brotherhood to Stand Back of
Nation During War
Crisis

Resolutions endorsing President
woodrow Wilson's action in naming
Secretary McAdoo as, general director
or railroads, We're adopted to-day b.
the legislative board of the Order OF
Railway Conductors. Representatives
nave been unable to reach any definite
he necessary. 1t is probable the board
VIII adjourn to-day and convene later
on the call of the chairman, S. r.
farmer The following was unani.
mously adopted:
Resolved that the action of Presi-
dent wilson, in taking under govern
nIent control. all the railroads of the
country, be approved by this conVen-
tlom Tor the following reasons:
That this action was necessary at
thls time in order to make the rail-
ways real factor in the national war
machine,
That the railroads have failed 10
bring their operations up to the high
standard which the national emer-
gency requires.
That the plan of stock brokers Sc
curing and controlling proxies of the
owners of railroad stock and electing
inefficient operating heads. who have
employed large army of unnoces-
sary agents and not a sufficient num-
a sufficient test to demonstrate that
1t Will not do.
That the socalled scarcity. and
not. really a shortage or a scarcity
or these necessities, but has been due
TO lnentcient transportation facilities
ana want of proper distribution of
these articles.
Censure For Railroads
That the responsibility for these
conditions rests with the railroad
managers and in their desire to Sc
cure large amount of mileage for
their companies on all shipments.
Their unpatriotic conduct in failing
to cooperate among themselves Has
contributed largely to the distress
and suffering experienced by the
people during the past month.
That the railroads must be operated
as a single system under the direc-
tion of an operating head appointed
by the President, and we approve of
the appointment of the William G..
McAdoo, director general of all rail-
roads for this purpose, and hereby
pledge to the government of these
United States our hearty cooperation
and support to speed up this govern
ment control to the end that the many
peoples may be relieved of the many
hardships suffered under the old man
agement of the railroads.
furthermore, we subscribed to the
belief that the efficiency and econ
omies\ secured to all the peoples of
the country by this government con-
troll, Will result in the people remain
ing in control of the railroads of the
country and eventually becoming the
absolute owners thereof We have
CutliYed and outgrown private COM
troll and ownership of these neces-
sary articles of transportation.

Supplement to the ST. Mary Banner Saturday, June 1913
Nearly 200 Nurses Have.
Answered the Call.

Nearly 200 nurses in the
Gulf Division have answered
the call Of the Red Cross.
Reports are still very in
complete, and it is expected
that the number will be much
larger when several localities
have been heard from.
While the quota of 1000
nurses assigned the Gulf d.
vision is still far from being
made mp, the division will
have until January |, 1919,
to supply that number.
Enrolment of nurses be-
gan two. weeks ago. The
Red Cross has been asked to
have Is, 900 nurses in it's ser.
vice by the first of next year.
Louisiana is leading the
other states in the Gulf Di.
vision in enrolling nurses, al
though Shreveport has not
been heard from. Alabama
il to supply 361+ nurses, Mis-
sissippi 267 and Louisiana
372.
Along. with the appeal Of
the Red Cross to nurses to
enroll goes the call to college
girls and high school gradu.
ates to enter nurses training
schools and to married
nurses to return to practice.
If the $4,000 Red Cross
nurses are enrolled. it will
mean = severe shortage of
these workers. Hospitals al.
ready are feeling the need of
nurses, and il is getting hard
for individuals to obtain the
services Of trained nurses.
Vacancies in hospitals will
have to be filled largely by
married nurses and BY others
ineligible for foreign service.
In order that there will be
enough student nurses to as.
sist in + the hospitals and to
be ready to deal with the big
reconstruction problems that
will follow the war, efforts
are .being made to get as
many well educated young|
women. to enter training as
possible.
Miss Z. Agnes Daspit, di.
rector Of the Bureau Of Nurs.
ing for the Gulf Division, |

requests for six nurses to go|
to ENGLAND and two for ser-l
vice In Italy.
