WOMEN PROGRESS
 IN ORGANIZATION OF STATE COMMITTEE
Mrs. Ohme Is Actively at Work as Organization Chairman of the Fourth Zone

Organization of the state and local women's committees of the Fourth Lib- erty Loan campaign is going forward very satisfactorily and within few days all committees are expected to be completed
 Mrs. Conrad ohme, organization chairman for the Fourth zone of the national council of defense, is active- ly engaged in organizing this district in order to be ready to assist in the Fourth Liberty Loan drive.
 Mrs Ohme attended a county confer ence held at Cullman last week and re- ports that Cullman is well organized for both council of defense and Red Cross and that the women of the coun- ty are cooperating in very effective manner. Mrs. Ohme will go to Helena, Shelby county, Thursday for the pur- pose of organizing the women of that place for war work.
 Mrs. Watkins Riddle of Huffman is giving great assistance in this organ Ration work She recently organized the women at Clay and Ayres, and is planning an organization at Chalk vile and Center Point, where patriotic demonstrati tions will be held and every effort made to place the Fourth Lih- erty Loan before the people.

UNION LABOR ASKS
 HOLIDAY WAGES FOR
 WORK ON LABOR DAY
Hitch in Proposition to Devote Wages Earned on Labor Day to the
 Red Cross Fund

Union skilled labor may work on La bor Day and union skilled labor may play on Labor Day. It is a fact that they are willing to work, and that they want to give the entire proceeds of their days work to the American Red Cross, but the question upon which decision in favor of working rests IS this "Will employers agree to pay them time and half for their days work ?'' B. w. King, business agent of the ma chinists' union, and head of the local Trades Council, and asked yesterday :: Will union men work next Monday Labor Day?" He replied. That depends upon their employers. If they are paid time and a half for their labor on that day the entire amount for services ren- dered to go to the Red Cross they will gladly work. If they are not paid time and a half they will not work
 There seems to be a lack of understand ing between the men and the employers, a matter of taking too much for grant ed, and no evidence is given of the mat ter having been put before the employ CTS.
 It is understood the men are anxious to work if they are given the holiday rate for their labor and all of the pro- ceeds will go to the Red Cross.
 Another phase of the matter is the acute stage that local amusement people have reached. They don't know whether to plan big holiday bill of amusements for their laboring patronage or to call it regular day and go on with the set programmes.
