AS secretary of the treasury. Mr..
MoAdoo will retire as soon as a sue
cessor has been chosen and has quail
fed. He will relinquish his position as
head of the goVernment-cOntro
railroads January first unless direc-
tor has not then been selected.
The resignation of Mr.. McAdoo
which he, himself announced at con-
ference with newspaper correspond
ents late Friday. was entirely unex-
pected in Washington. After making
the announcement, Mr.. McAdoo made
public his letter of resignation to the
president bearing the date of Novem-
ber IA and the latter's letter of ac-
ceptance.
Pay Not Enough.
Saying he had refused to consider
resigning while the country was at
war. Mr.. McAdoo wrote the president
that Inadequate compensation al
lowed by law to cabinet officers and
the very burdensome cost of living in
Washington have so depleted my per-
sonai resources that l am obliged to
reckon with the facts of the situation"
While emphasizing that he has not
suffered any actual impairment of
health, he said he needs "a reasonable
period of genuine rest to replenish"
his energy.
Neither in his letter to the president
nor in his statement to the newspaper
correspondents announcing his resig-
nation did Mr.. McAdoo outline his
plans for the future, but it is under
stood he intends to take a vacation
of several months before returning to
business, probably the .pract Of law.
Comes by Surprise.
By the resignation. President Will
son for the fourth time in nearly six
years of his term of office is faced
with the necessity of filling a vacancy
in his cabinet. The resignation of Mr..
McAdoo took official Washington so
completely by surprise that even to-
day there was little speculation as to
his successor or successors. 1t is not
known whether the president will fill
separately the offices of secretary of
the treasury and director general of
railroads. In some quarters it was
thought todaE that the president may
decide to make some other member of
the cabinet head of the nations rail-
road system In such an event it was
considered likely that the place would
go tc Secretary of War Baker. Post
master General Burleson or Secretary
of the Interior Lane. Should the
president decide to go outside his
cabinet for a director general the
name of Walker D. Hines. assistant
director general and chairman of the
board of directors of the Atchison.

GIRLS FORM union
Telephone Operators Organize
for Protection.
Sign Up for Membership at Mid
I. night Session.
RECEIVE ONLY $3.50 A week
Girls Assert That This Is Not q
Living Wage.
Linemen and Operators VIII
Demand Higher Wage.
RECEIVE ONLY $3.50 A WEEK

Topeka telephone patrons will be
given union service from now on
whenever they ask for number. In
the still hours of the night forty six
operators from the local exchange of
the Southwestern Bell Telephone
company met at the home of one of
the leaders of the movement Friday
night and organized the first ope-
initial membership represents so per
cent of the present switchboard force,
it was said today.
The operators union will be an
auxiliary of the linemen's union which
was organized some time ago and
which now claims 9s per cent of the
employees entitled to Join. The line
mems union already has received its
charter from the International
ErotherhoQd.-of Electrical Workers
and will close It's charter membership
list on the first of December.
Ask Better Conditions.
The object of both the linemen and
the operators in forming union Is
to improve conditions and guarantee
to the members a living wage. 1t is
asserted that the average pay of the
operators is only $3.50 a week and
that the company shows a preference
to girls who live at home and who
are thereby enabled to live cheaper
Than those who would have to depend
entirely upon what they can, earn for
the necessities Of life.
At the meeting of the girls Friday
night SO much enthusiasm was shown
that adjournment was not made until
after midnight, a union official said
today, and every girl who attended
l@ fov &C. HI in
the organization. ]. r. woodruff,
president of the Topeka electrical
urion, attended the meeting along
with the officers of the linemen's
union. These officers are c. c. Nc
MILAN, president; Art. Reilly. vice
president: r. D. Collins, financial sec
retary. and F. B. Smith, recording Sec
retary.
Demand More Money.
It is generally understood that just
as soon as as it can be done the line
men and the operators will make a
demand for higher wages thru their
grievance committees. as Is provide
for under the government regulations.
There is no agitation for a strike or a
walk out, one of the union officials
said today. and the employees are going
to live up to the regulations of the gov
ernment administration to the letter,
but they do think they are entitled to
an IT .rease in wages and are going to
take every legal step possible to5ob-
tan more money.
Take in Edison Men,
"A meeting of the linemen's union will
be held tomorrow morning at Labor
hall at which linemen from the To-
peka Edison company and from the
city will be invited to join. Also. it is
expected that linemen from the small
towns near Top 4ka where there are
not enough men to form a local union
will attend and will make arrange
ments to affiliate with the Topeka
organization.
Another meeting of the girl opera
tors is to be held Monday night be-
tween the hours of 8 and 10 O'Clock
at III East Fourteenth street, at
which further steps will be taken to
complete the new local.

IT'S Not Only Patriotism. But Good
BUSINESS.

II. o. CROCKET'r: at can not be
successfully denied that every person
should purchase Liberty Bonds for
the following reasons:
CD The spirit of patriotism, inhc-
rent in nll the citizens of this coun-
ty, demands that we support our
government and the boys from our
county who have offered to make,
and are making, the supreme sacrifice
for us.
(2) II is good business. After the
war prices will be rcadjIsted down
ward, and property values will
shrink. IL is believed that tangible
personal property, when the read
justment has taken place, will have
decreased in value about onchalf 4,
and money invested in Liberty Bonds
now will then purchase about twice
as much property Ms at the present
and in the meantime he drawing in
tcrcst. For instance, Mr.. Hoover hns
said that wheat, which is now selling
ut $500, will then sell ut $l.25."
