DEMANDED BY MEN

Men employees demand it." said Dr. Shaw, and because they are organized they have power to enforce their de- mands. The worst of it is that many of the men so employed were never in the military service but had left to enter safe employment" pr. Shaw insisted that the basic right of women to do any kind of work the v were capable of performing should be established and that men should not be allowed to say that women could not be employed.
 MT. Walsh, who appeared as counsel for the women employees, said the board should declare that women were legal ly entitled to the same rights in in dustry as men.
 The women conductors of Cleveland were unjustly- discharged, he said, and should be reinstated
 Miss Van Kleeck told the board that women's claim of freedom to choose occupations was the greatest labor issue before the country and that 1t should be solved favorably to allow women to contribute their best ener- gies in peace as they did in war
 MT. Vahey argued that the board was not legally empowered to order the re- employment of the women conductors, since its jurisdiction extended only to cases where labor disputes between employees and employers threatened to result in a strike. He said the women knew when they were employed that they would be retained only for the period of the war.

(,0RA'S DRESS WAS TOO FULL"
 10 BE STYLISH
Her Spring Styles Were I'm ported From Drip
 ping Springs"

Though Cora Harris, negress, did ont attend the fashion pageant at Froug's she has the satisfaction of knowing that she is strictly in style, if not wee bit ahead of female vogue. And while the cut of her style may not correspond to what the fash ion plates say is being worn, her cos tune is to say the least, original.
 Cora was arrested at McGehee Tuesday by Deputy Marshal A. u Reed. Now the deputy is not con- neisuer in female wearing apparel, but he was struck by the wide flares and rather bulging effect of Cora's dress, and upon investigation, it is charged he found that her unmention- ables were fitted with pockets, and the pockets filled with pint bottles and the pint bottles filled with intoxi- cants. In all, there were something like 30 pints of liquor in the pock- cts, which would incline one to the belief that Cora a's----
 However, she is not an especially large woman, and how she was able to. store so much liquor on her per- son in such a manner is but an- other of the mysteries of female cloth ing. However, wearing apparel was not the only item with which Cora was ultra-fashionable. She was quite ori- ginal in her selection of accessories. She had a huff with both ends sewed up, and the huff filled with liquor. And to complete the scene of up-to- dateness, she had man with her who answers, it is said, to the name of George Atkins. George created a rather refund appearance by having commissioner Burnett yesterday af- about ten pints in his shirt.
 Both waived examination before ] ternoon, and were bound over to await the action of the Federal grand jury
