Work Here for All
Released From War
Jobs, Says Bruere
Federal Boards Begin Task Of
Finding Employment for
Laborers

Work of synchronizing the closing
Of war industries and the lifting Of
priority restrictions with reopening
and enlarging of peace time industries
was begun by heads of numerous Fed
eral boards in and about New York
yesterday.
The work has been 50 successfully
mapped out thus far that Henry
Bruere, head of the United States En-
ployment Service in this state, said
last night that he felt certain there
would be practically no reduction Of
wages from standards maintained dur
ing the war, when both skilled and un-
skilled work was at a premium. he
made this statement before leaving for
Washington, where he will participate
in conference with heads of gov
eminent bureaus having to do with
the demoblisation of war industries.
at must be remembered that sign
ing of an arnstce does not mean an
immediate cessation of all big indus
tries that grew up during the war," he
said. "Ihere are many that have un-
finished contracts. others that must
continue their work unchanged during
The days Of reconstruction, and more
that will gradually return to normal
pursuits without diminishing the num-
Der of employees. Because of this it is
possible to keep practically every man
and woman helper in many big fac
tories while the transition period is
passed"
My. Bruer said he was convinced
the fears OF many workers that they
would be compelled to return to lower
standards of wages were without
foundation. Demand for help before
manufacturers we're assured of ample
raw materials, he said, seemed to as
sure labor of high wages.
The work of making labor survey
of New York's metropolitan district
was begun during the day by com
mittecs representing trades in the dis
trct. Representatives OF these trades
will answer questionnaires in which they
will set forth their needs as to labor
and the approximate date when they
expect to resume normal operations.
With this information it is expected
TO provide work for practically every
one released from war work.
The first shipyard to complete It's
government contracts and begin de-
mobilization is the Foundation Ship
building Company, at Kearney, n. J
The last ship TO be turned out at the
yards will be launched Saturday. Clos
ing of the plant has been ticipated
I! however. and only 1000 Of the 5000 men
employed there a few weeks ago arc
working now. Those who remain will
be transferred to other shipyards that
still have contracts.

some time confined in the insane asylum
at Elgin, ILL.,, killed Mrs. Ruby sifty,
white, of Zion City, by strangling her
with a strip Of a bed sheet.
The crime, which was carried ont with
remarkable cunning, was the first of the
kind in the history of the institution,
founded in 1870. Mrs. sifty was % and
the wife of q travelling salesman. She
has a sister in Zion City. Mrs. Bran
lette is As. Both were recorded as ''vio-
lent" patients.
Although there were four attendants
in the ward, Mrs. Bramlette watched
her chance, seized Mrs. sifty and swept
her into an adjoining room without be-
ing observed. Tearing q strip from q
bed sheet she wound it around her vie
tins neck and frightened il until Mrs.
sifty died Of strangulation.
The attendants heard no cries, so
quickly was the crime committed, but
they did hear a scufiing. When they
rushed into the smaller room Mrs. Bran
lette was standing over the dead woman.
Evidently the four attendants were
not On their job, for IL they had been

NEW BASIC Law TO AID NEGROES
LowDEN ASSERTS.

Springfield, Ill. - Gov. Lowden
Wednesday made public letter he had
written to Representative Benjamin H
Lucas commencing his action in sup
porting the constitutional convention
resolution in the legislature. Mr.. Lucas
is a candidate for denomination and his
candidacy is assailed on the ground that
his support of the constitutional con
vention resolution was inimical to the
interests of the Negroes
"I have never heard it suggested"
says Governor Lowden 3 letter, "that il
a new constitution is framed in Illinois
it will contain anything which can by
any possibility be injurious to your race.
II q new constitution be submitted to
the voters Of this state have no doubt
that it viii guard the rights of the Ne
groes equally with the rights of the
white race. In other words, such
constitution, to be adopted by the peO-
pie, would have 70 be framed with
view to the interests Of all our people
without reference to race or religion.
SIN my opinion, those who assert thai
q aew constitution will be framed which
win be hurtful to the Negroes are not
true friends Of the race. 1 think your
action in supporting the resolution for .
constitutional convention was right
minded in every way and that it entities
you to credit rather than blame"

ing has hardwood floors, is steam heated,
electric lighted and modern in every
particular. In its new location the as

der service to the worthy young women
of the city. Through the generous re-
Spouse of few friends the association
was able to make its first payment on
the new home but balance Of nine
thousand five hundred (s9,5Oo) dollars

are closely associated with the work
that the general public will assist in
relieving the association of this indebt-
edness before the winter. There was q

library on Wednesday evening. At the
meeting the work of the association was
fully and infinitely discussed. Plans
were made for the raising of the $500.

city, in that it offers q comfortable
home at reasonable prices to self-sup-
porting, self-reliant young women and
throws around them those influences
which contribute toward strong woman
hood.
The association appreciates the prob
lens which confront self-dependent
young women and helps them to solve
these problems. In providing comfort
able, clean accommodations at very rea-
sonable prices the association is assist
ing the young women to solve the eco
nomic problem with which we are all
familiar. Meals are served at cost.
Occasional socials are given in order
that the social life of the young woman
may receive attention, and that young
women who are unaequainted In the city
may have the opportunity to meet the
young men and young women of the
city under the proper conditions. The
prayers and the vesper service
on Sunday contribute their share toward
the formation Of character ideals. A
well-equipped library offers q fund Of
information and pleasant helpful read
ing, not alone to the association "fam-
ily" but to many friends who enjoy
quiet hours in our library.
The young woman Of today deserves
much consideration, her responsibilities |
are large, opportunities are opening up |
10 her in various lines Of endeavor.
She needs your moral support in order
hat she may make the most of her op-
3Ortunities. The association needs your
moral and your financial support so that
& can stand as q beacon light to the
worthy young women of the city, point

PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON AT
LAST SPEAKS OUT AGAINST
MOB AND LYNCH Law.


Here is what President Wilson has
to say in reference to mob and lynch
law in this country. 1t may not ac-
eomplish much in the way Of checking
that great and growing evil in the Unit
ed States, yet his manifesto makes
mighty interesting reading.
Ny Fellow Countrymen:
I take the liberty of addressing you
upon a subject which so vitality affects
the honor of the nation and the very
character and integrity of our institu-
tions that I trust you win think me jus
titled in speaking very plainly about it.
aIlude to the mob spirit which has
recently here and there very frequently
shown its head amongst us, not in any
single region, but in many and widely
separated parts Of the country. There
have been many lyDchings, and every
one Of them has been blow at the
heart Of ordered law and humane jus
tiee. No man who loves America, no
man who really cares for her fame and
honor and character, or who is truly
Invul - L. s,.k.A,&s--. - .--A:a-
mob action while the courts of justice
are open and the governments Of the
states and the nation are ready and
able to do their duty. We are at this
very moment fighting lawless passion.
Germany has 0utlswed herself among
the nations because she has disregarded
the sacred obligations Of law and has
made lynchers Of her armies. Lynehers
emulate her disgraeeful example. i, for
my part, am anxious to see every COM
nunity in America rise above that level,
with pride and fixed resolution which !
no man or set Of men can afford to de-
spise.
We proudly claim to be the champions
Of democracy. 1--we really are, in deed |
and in truth, let rs see to it that we do |
not diseredit our own I say plainly |
that every American who takes part in |
the action of g mob or gives 1t any sort
of eountsnanee is no true son Of this
great democracy, but its betrayer, and
does more 10 diseredit her by that single
disloyalty TO her standards Of law and
of night than the words of her states
men or the sacrifices of her heroic boys
in the trenches can do to make suffering
peoples believe her to be their savior.
How shah We commend democracy to
the acceptance Of other peoples II we
disgraee our own by proving that 1t is,
after Al, no protection to the weak
Every mob contributes to German lies
about the United States what her most
gifted liars cannot improve upon by the
way Of calumny. They can ct least say
that saeh things cannot happen in Ger
many except IN times of revolution,
when law d swept away.
