I'VE can stop ratification of this

peace in Europe because Ireland will
fight and the world knows that Ire
land can fight.

cerning the amnesty granted to Sim
Feiners in England. saying:
1T is not too soon. These men have
been in Jail for nine and one half

pIoyed was announced by Mrs Eva
c. Weston of the employment section
of the Department of Labor at the
third conference of the girls confer
ence of the District Of Columbia, held
Yesterday afternoon in the board
room of the municipal building. This
conference was called to take definite
action toward conducting city-wide
survey of social agencies for the ben@-
fit of every girl in the National Capt.
tai. These 1900 referred to by Mrs.
governmental employ.
The Girls Council was organized last
spring under the auspices of the local
War Camp Community Service, and is
composed of representatives of social
agencies, both public and private,
functioning for the educational and
recreational interests of girls in the
District. Thirty such organizations
were represented at yesterdays meet
ing. which elected Mrs. Graham 7.

What Men Will Do.

IF the Commissioners feel they can
not do this. the men are willing to be
laid off in turn long enough each
week to equal 20 per cent cut in
pay. This will enable them to earn
something on the outside on days they
are laid off and will not reduce the
wage scale.
When the Districts forage fund
gets low the Commissioners don't let
the horses die and they don't dispose
of them. They borrow enough to
provide feed for the animals until
another appropriation is made.
IF they can Keep the District
horses from starving, why can't they
do the same for the men2"
More than 300 men would be affect
ed by a strike at the sewage and
water pumping stations. The sew

sey avenue. employs about ninety
men, and the water station, in LIE

Publicity Best Weapon.

To combat bolshevigm in this coun-
try, Mr.. Robins urged that the people
be allowed to know the truth about
its false teachings" and that exist
ing evils in American economic and
social life be remeded by law. Pub
LEFTY, he added, would prompt the re-
quotation of bolshevism.
In urging withdrawal of American
and allied military forces from Rus
sia, Mr.. Robins outlined the policies
of the American and allied govern
ments, which he said led to interyen-
tion. and told the committee that the
sending of the troops had helped to
rrecipitate the red terror"
Mr.. Robins declared that the ma
terialistic program of the bolshevikt
doctrines were calculated to bring
about class warfare, which YVES bound
TO lead to bloodshed.

AS a result of this feeling some of
these terms foresee the control of dis

period of the present war. This, IN

the British and American delegates of
possible commitment to occupation
and the supervision of German affairs

far they wanted him to go in his con-
ference with the Commissioners. a
chorus of voices replied:

The men will meet in the armory
again tonight to hear the result of
Mr.. Hurley's conference with Engineer
Commissioner Kutz today and decide
on what course shall be followed.
President Hurley told the men last
night that he did not want to see
strike except as last resort, but
he warned them that If they permit
a reduction of pay in single depart
ment of the District government now
1t will be the forerunner of cuts in all
the othsr departments.
Charge Against Commissioners.
Mr.. Hurley charged the Commission
ers with seeking to take advantage
of the present financial difficulty to
break up the City Employees Union.
He said that the per diem men in the
sewer department were approached
as individuals yesterday in regard
to the plan to reduce their pay 20
per cent because of the failure of
Congress to appropriate funds for the
District.
'It seems rather inopportune for the
District Commissioners to be plan
ming reductions in pay said Mr.. Hur-
ley. '.at a time when Congress is pro-
posing to increase the bonus for the
men.
IF the Engineer Commissioner Is
sincere in the contention that the lack
Of funds makes these reductions neces-

TWO propositions we will make to him
tomorrow.
