vested with authority to settle contro-
versies between employers and en-
ployes. held its first session yesterday
In the United States district court The
case was that OF the II. w. Rountree

ployes Of the concern. The employees
allese that they are not receiving high
enough wages and that the scale OF
wages is not satisfactory. The factory
workers preferred to make their claims
known to the board than to 60 on a
strike. 1t is thought that II win take
several days to complete the hearing.

sent out this statement:
The board at present Is composed

resenting employers, and III. T. Colvin.
representing labor, all citizens of
Richmond, and men with the interest
of our city at heart and at an early
date n woman representative of labor.
and one to represent employers. will
be added to the board.
No possible local organization could
command the same facilities to aid in
stabilizing our industr ies as this or
ganixation, with the entire force of
the government working with ii and
the board starts this work with the
feeling that 1t is your board and 1t
Is going TO have your hearty co-opera-
ton and help.
We are one OF the fortunate corn
muuities who have the vast and fully
organized forces of the government
to aid us to furnish employment or
employees to all who need them and
dispose of a surplus of either in the
most judicious and impartial manner.
NO argument Is needed. Every
thinking man knows the readiust-
meat of our business affairs from "A
war basis, which Includes canceila-
ton OF huge war contracts, involving
directly or indirectly every mans
affairs and the substitution therefor
OF an equal amount of effort on en-
tirely dissimlar lines and on strict
competitive conditions with the rest
of the world. is an undertaking that
will test to the utmost the ability and
resourcefulness of every individual
and community.
the individual or the community that
neglects to prepare himself or itself
for the situation that is now existing
by wise council, cooperation and ac-
ton and by using to the fullest extent
any advantage that may be offered,
will inevitably suffer mere In the re-
construction period than it has done
in the war period. The only possible
way to avoid this state OF affairs is
the establishment OF complete under
standing and coordination between
every employer and employe with the
federal community labor board so
we may all help to help ourselves.
A partial labor survey called for by
the government for use of Richmonds
industries will be undertaken by our
federal community labor board at
once. The board Is counting on the
willing and cordial assistance of
every employer and employs. We
must make Richmond's peace situa~
ton over 400 per cent perfect. so it
may match the percentage I'VE made
ON all war work.

FEW AMERICANS
REGISTERED IN
bUENOS AIRES

BUENOS AIRES, July 6.-Only
twenty-one citizens of the United
States registered for the municipal
elections in Buenos Aires under the
new law which gives the vote to for
eigners in municipal elections. The
census of 1914 showed that there were
3,449 Americans in the Argentina re-
public. 1t is estimated that this num-
Der has doubled since the war began
and that most of them are living in
Buenos Aires.
orably on the fact that, of the 900
foreigners in the city Who were en-
titled to vote, only 1856 registered,
and said this showed that they had
no interest in their city beyond max
ing as much money as possible and
then returning to their native coun-
tries. The papers argued from this
that the foreigners collaboration in
the city government could never be
depended upon.
The census of 1914 showed that
there were nearly as many aliens in
Buenos Aires as natives. 777,S45 for
eigners and 797 1863 natives In order
to give this great foreign population
a voice in the city government a law
was passed recently extending the
vote to all aliens who were married
to Argentine women. or who had chill
dren born in Argentina, or who paid
a specific amount of house rent. This
included nearly all the married for
eigners in the city. Unmarried for
eigners were entitled to vote if they
paid as much as fifty pesos a year in
taxes.
The nationalities most largely repre-
scented in the registration were: Ital-
ians, 6,447; Spaniards. 5000; French.
sos; Russians, 4S1; Uruguayans, 377;
Germans, 1876; English, 144.
One of the newspapers in comment
ing unfavorably on this rejection Of
the ballot by the foreigners said 1t
was an "inexplicable social phenom-
enon."

COOKS CAN Do THEIR BIT
BY ECONOMY IN KITCHEN

1T takes real gray matter to mar
ket and cook these days" remarked
a seasoned housekeeper at a Liberty
kitchen demonstration. And 1t is this
fact that Is giving hOusekeepers real
interest in it. Women are practicing
thrift not with their dollars and cents
as the incentive. but because they are
serving their country In this way
They are learning food values not be-
cause OF epicurean tastes but because
they must know how to select the sub
stitutes Of equal value for those foods
they are periodically giving up
Feeding the family has suddenly
taken on the dignity and Importance
of a patriotic rite. Wartime cooking
is not only teaching women to cook
economically but also more under
standingIy
1t takes thinking and wise planning
to use more and more potatoes as
we are now being urged to do in or
der to eat less bread and yet not let
the family weary of this tried and true
friend, the potato. 1t takes not only
kitchen camouflage. but actual knowl-
edge, to use rice flour or potato flour
or corn-starch for thiekening purposes
instead of wheat flour. All cream
dressings or gravies thickened in this
way have to be cooked longer in or
der to disguise the flavor of the starch.

PUT KAISER ON THE RUN
BY EATING LESS WHEAT

The United States food administra'
ton has asked that we eat no more
than one and one-half pounds OF wheat
flour per person each week. That is.
Jane might allow herself IA pounds
of victory bread (Which would mean
about / pound of wheat flour and
an additional half pound of flour for
cooking purposes, or Mary might de-
eide not to have so much bread and
use little more for cooking. Neither
Jane nor Mary will have any complaint
to make against the order aside from
the fact that it is not hard enough.
Patriotic Jane will probably ask,
why doesn't the government really
make us sacrifice something" to
which Mary may reply, 'If everyone
did that much. it would be enough
But there is the rub declares Jane.
This is strictly between us. but you

that are out and out slackers."
There are two things which you may

il not stand to reason that somebody

Having reasoned all this out, the
James and Marys of the country will
quietly and unassumingly go ahead.
With sympathetic understanding they
have read between the lines when the
food administration said, MANY thou
sand families throughout the land are
now using no wheat products what

cooking purposes, and are doing so in
perfect health and satisfaction" and
