PLAN FOR
POLYGAMY
AFTER WAR
Especial TO The Times.)

Especial TO The Times.)
NEW YORK, April BE-
A tremendous drive for
worldwide polygamy will be
made by the Mormon church
Immediately after the war.
This polygamy campaign
is now being planned by
leaders of the church of the
Latter Day Saints at Salt
Lake City.
Mormon leaders expect their
doctrine of plural wives to be re-
ceived gladly by German war
lords who are worrying about
failing birth rate and
the increase of marriageable wom-
en- as hundreds of thousands of
German men and boys are slain
in Hindenburg's drives.
Mormon churchmen hope that
other countries can be persua ded
to accept polygamy to repopula e
their countries, and now are press
ing a campaign of publicity in
tended to overcome the popular
sentiment against their doctrine.
Dr.. L. l.. Mills, superintendent
of the frontier department of the
home mission work Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, who has
just returned from several years
work among the Mormons at Salt
Lake City, says that the Mormons
hope to force the Brigham Young
on all nations.
Just as soon as the war Is
over" DR.. Mills asserts, they are
going to make a tremendous drive
to spread polygamy, because they
realize that the tremendous sur
plus of women over men in all the
belligerent countries will offer
such an opportunity for their pro-
as they never had before.
1T is easy to find evidences OF
preparation on their part for a
world campaign on a new scale
For the first time in their history
they are branching out as a world
religion. This year they will fin
ish two new and elaborate temples
one in the Hawaiian islands and
one in Alberta, Canada"

DAY
is GIVEN
BY TRIP.

The Tacoma Railway G Power
Co., thru Manager Bean, Thursday
announced the establishment OF a
basic eight-hour day for all train
men employed by the company.
Trainmen will be paid at the
rate of time and one-half for over
time, for all time over eight and
one-half hours, it was announced.
The adoption of the principle
of the eight hour day for train
men as announced today, is for
the betterment of service" said
Mr.. Bean today.
Need More Men
"A labor shortage exists and
we feel that the recognition Of
the eight-hour day principle will
make employment with this COM
pany more attractive.
I'VE need more men and are
doing this to secure men who are
essential to the increases in
service which we feel are neces-
sary.
THE company has been re-
cruiting trainmen thru CAM
paign of advertising. We will
continue these efforts and have
the assurance that they will be
successful.
THE trainmen and others In
the eompany's employ know there
is a shortage Of labor in all
classes.
For that reason present work.
ing schedules will be maintained.
The overtime will begin after
eight and one-hsH hours, the half
hour leeway being an allowance
for the completion of eight-hour
runs, which is the customary
practice and which all trainmen
everywhere understand.
Revolutionary Step
at will be of particular bene-
fit to the trainmen who take out
trippers to furnish rush hour
service.
mo street railway company
operating on a five-cent fare can
afford to pay time and a half for
overtime, and only one street
railway company in the United
States that we know Of, is doing
this-but we are forced by the
emergency existing in the trans
portation situation in Tacoma,
brought about by the war, to do
this thing, which we cannot af-
ford to do, in a final effort to
provide service, altho it is revolu-
tionary in street railway practice
in the United States"
