tendance.
BY Monday the city can safely refer

Yard committee
FOR HARLAN men
Representative Body Will
be Elected to Adjust In
dustrial Questions
PLAN SUGGESTED BY
GOVERNMENT BOARD

a representative committee OF the
workmen at the Harlan plant, to be
known as the Central Yard Committee
will be elected at the shipyard within
a few days. This committee Will con-
slst OF three men from each department
In the yard, to be elected by the men
OF that department, and one repre-
sentative OF the corporation, to which
position C. D.Hubbard has been appoint
ed by the management.
The Harlan men wish 10 emphasize
that this IS not primarily a grievance
committee. although adjustment OF
complaints will be one OF It's many
duties. The committee will represent
the whole body OF workmen in all mat
ters OF interest and welfare which con-
cern the yard.
At a conference OF foremen and some
Of the leading workmen, held yesterday,
with Mr.. White, foreman Of power, as
chairman, five men were named as a
special committee to draw up rules for
the election OF the Central Yard Com
mittee, and qualifications which must

They expect TO meet tonight 10 con-
slider regulations 10 was decided at
the conference yesterday that foremen
will not be eligible TO membership.
Their power OF hiring and discharging
w0rkmen would obviously unit them
for unbiased action on such a commit
tee. The Central Yard Committee Will
have a membership Of about seventy
Ave men.
At the conference yesterday, which
was called by J. B. Weaver, general
manager OF the plant, that official out
lined the scope Of the new committee.
He said that its formation was in ac-
cordance with plan evolved by the
Tilted States Labor Adjustment Board to
prevent industrial friction between en-
ployes and employers.
An important and immediate duty Of
the Central Yard Committee will be 70
adjust the matter OF retroactive pay
under the new wage scale announced
from Washington. All matters con-
cernlng pay, working conditions and the
Ike will come up before the COMMITTEES.
n the committee finds matters OF sur
1cient moment. they will present them
to tho management OF the plant. The
committee will consult with fOremen in
regard TO individual complaints for
which they find a reasonable basis.
General Manager Weaver told the
conference that the government would
insist on square dealing on the part OF
all such committees and on the part
Of corporations. Reasonable matters
presented by such committee 10 a cor
poration must receive attention from
the corporation is the government
order.

Delaware women
Want THE BALLOT
Appreciate Wilson's Sup
ortBut Regret Opposition
of Delaware's S Senators
HOPE THEY WILL YET
GET THEFORWARDLOOK

On Monday afternoon. the following
resolutions were passed by the Della
ware State Executive Committee OF the
National American Equal Suffrage Asso-
ci6tion:
"The Delaware State Executive OF the
National Equal Suffrage Association. de-
slres TO place Itself on record as ap-
proving the course recently pursued by
President Wilson. when-appearing be-
fore the Senate-he asked that-as a
necessary war measure-that body
should vote favorably upon the pending
Federal Amendment.
I'VE Furthermore admire the breadth
OF vision OF our chief executive. when
he allages that-by refusing enfran-
chisement to women-our political
system is deprived OF vast spiritual in
strumentalities, the further Withholding
OF which impoverishes our system OF
government and imperils our claims TO
democracy.
I'VE protest-in the name OF the
women war workers Of the world and
the home-makers as well-at the fur
ther use OF sex as determining factor
In the making OF citizens.
I'VE place ourselves, as women, on
record-and we regard our position as
unassailable-as enunciating no new
truth when we allege that illness and
fitness alone-should determine our
voting population.
in the name OF the women indus
trial workers OF Delaware. we assert
that no longer do we desire TO be rep
resented by proxy at the ballot box. but
we desire 10 express-unfettered by
any assumption Of masculine superior
ity-our own political convictions at
the polls.
Asserting again that incontroverti-
BILE axiom that no nation can long con-
tinue half slave and half free, we ask
that the political disabilities that now
affict many Of the women OF America
shall be removed.
1T is with profound regret that we
view the attitude OF our two Senator'S
toward the Federal Amendment, and
we hope that inherent love Of justice
viii yet operate in giving them the for
ward look.
I'VE submit again for their consid
Grafton and the consideration OF the
people Of Delaware, that over 1900
adults Of our State recently signed pc
titions calling upon our two Senator'S
10 vote favorably upon the Federal
Amendment and that-giyen more time
many more signatures could have
been secured.
These are portentous times and we
regard the woman suffrage movement
as big with promise and destined
throughout the United States OF Amer
lea everywhere 70 prevail

Warm praise for their work in tho
recent influenza epidemic is being given
DR.. Alfred X. Smith and Dr.. Z. c. Bruch,
two Of the stan members OF the medical
department Of the dupont Company
under Or. w. G. Hudson. As soon as
the epidemic became threatening these
two men volunteered their services in
any way I'm which they could be used.
DIT. Smith went TO the Country Club,
where the temporary hospital was in
use, each day after the work at the Of
flee was done. Or. Bruch was at the
Country Club each day. Beside the
general work at the hospital. both
men attended employees OF the
company who were unable to get the
services Of their family physicians.
The epidemic threw an enormous
amount Of work on the medical depart
ment OF the dupont Company. At Car
ney's Point the epidemic was handled
in splendid fashion by Or. Hudson's de-
partment, services Of the company's
physicians being available night and
day for the men and women who were
suffering from the influenza in the
community villages.
The efforts OF Or. Smith and DR..
Bruch were mainly devoted to alleviat-
ing suffering in this city and vicinity,
and their efforts have been warmly ap-
preoiated.

MORE ART FOR
CITY GALLERIES
Wilmingtonians Purchase
Many Paintings from the
French Salon
EXHIBITION is
MOST PLEASING

The French Salon Is succeeding in a
manner that encourages its director
Major RatzskowskiN very much. Yes
terday many visitors attended the ex-
hlbition, and ten paintings were sold
The four small paintings Of street
scenes in Paris have been sold to one
patron. These arc by E. Gatien Laloue,
and they are among the most charming
things in the exhibit, full OF action and
life and vivid in portrayal. One Of the
most beautiful Of the figure subjects,
"reminiscences" by Mile. Louise
Lsndre, has been sold.
The other sales were OF landscape
paintings with the exception OF 1.-THE
Soap Bubble" a fetching little child
picture that possesses distinctive
charm. "The Valley OF the Rhone," a
view OF the river at Vienne. just at sun
set is one OF the most conspicuous OF
the landscape paintings in the exhibit
tion and many have desired It. lis in
terest and variety will never fail its
possessor, and it is one OF those paint
ings that stay in the memory. II is
one OF four given for the widows and
orphans Of French artists, by Nozal
Alexandra, OF Paris, knight Of the
Legion Of Honor, and member OF the
French Artists Society.
"Bourget Lake" is another OF his
that has been sold, and il too has its
appeal In land and water.
Another landscape that has attracted
a great deal Of attention, THE Mont
Blanc" a view taken from the Valley
OF Chamonix, has been commented on
by all who have been in Switzerland,
and many have wished for it. But one
could be fortunate enough TO possess
il. and il will remain in a Wilmington
home.
A very delightful, refreshing sea
coast scene, The Port OF Andierne, "
crisp and clear in color, has had the
mark put upon 10. too, and II Is going
to stay in this city.
Every picture purchased Is not only
an individual accession, but something
for the city TO be proud Of. It means
much if one can speak OF a picture,
and can add that . is possessed by 80
and So" in Wilmington. Wilmington
being an art center. is expected TO
grow in this proud distinction, and IL
is only by private as well IS indi-
vidual purchase that the city can hold
its reputation for an appreciation and
O patronage Of art.
The portfolios OF pictures OF Gen
man atrocitles are selling well, but as
It was felt that a more extensive op-
portunity ought to be offered the pub
lie TO see them and 10 purchase, a booth
has been set UP in the foyer OF the
Hotel dupont. Workers from the Rcd
Cross headquarters will assist Madame
Elias. wife OF the official representative
OF the "Orphenlinat des Armees," In at
tending the booth, and they will be

goes to the Red Cross and the re-
mainder for French war orphans.
