They Took the Places of the
Men Who Were Called.
And Now Insist on Keeping
Them for All Time.
TRUE ALL OVER COUNTRY
Million and a Half Were Doing
Work of Men.
Number Is Cut Only Slightly,
Says Bureau Report.

Washington. Feb. 1S.-Women who
took mems jobs for war work are re-
fusfng to return to peace time pur-
suits.
This is shown today by reports of
the United States employment service
from all the Industrial centerS of the
country. Practically everywhere, it
was stated, where women stepped into
mems jobs they are making a deter
mined effort to hold them.
The best estimates of the employ
ment service show that about 1,500,-
900 women out of 100000 female
workers, were doing mems work when
the war ended. and reports indicated
the number has been reduced only
slightly.
Was Not for Country.
The large majority of women in
oyeralls, officials stated, did not step
out of home life to do their patriotic
duty for the country, but were attract
ed from the rank of women who are
compelled to work. Higher wages was
the cause and the women are loathe to
give up their places and the higher
wages.
The determination of the women.
officials, admit, is one of the contrib
uting causes of unemployment of men
but they point out that these women
must work to live and if they are to
relinquish their work to men other
employment must, be found for them.
In many cases the women are backed
by employers. who believe their labor
can be obtained at a lower figure than
that of men.
Calls for women workers have been
gradually decreasing ever since the ar
mistice was signed, the employment
service reports show November 2.
$4,000 requests for females were re-
ceived During the last week the
donna nd WAS down TO % 600.
A. f. of l.. Against Them.
Opposition to. the women keeping
mems jobs is clearly manifest at the
American Federation of Labor and
has been shown in the cases of the
Detroit and Cleveland conductorettes
where the union tried to force out the
women who were backed by the COM
panies.
THE federation does not want to
drive women out of industry" Frank
Morrison said today, but it believes
there is work for women and work for
men and that both should stay in their
own line. The federation believes
that where women are doing mems
work they should receive mems
wa es for their work.
Women are now strongly entrenched
in the railroad service, their number
having increased from 10000 in jan
~uary. 1913, to 1910 in October. So
far the government has announced no
definite policy of turning their jobs
back to men.
VIII Leave Some Fields.
Labor officials doubt that women
will stay in some fields of men work
permanently. such as Get car con-
ductors, baggage workers and shop
workers. They. believe the women of
their own accord. will drift back to
what is generally classed as women's
work, largely because of the hostile
feeling of the meTfs
Senator Kenyon has written Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson for figures,
showing how many men are being
kept out of work by women holding

TO ATTAIN DESIRE
Speakers at Auditorium Meet.
ing See Big Labor Victories.
UniOnizatiOn Anniversary Cele-
DRAFTED by 1000 ShOpmen.

More than 1900 persons attended
the celebration of the first anniversary
of the unionization of the Santa Fe
shops which was held at the auditor
ium Monday night. In addition to a
great amount of music there were sew
eral speakers of note in the union
world who were well received.
c. H. Danner, local examiner for
the United States department of labor
made one Of the principal speeches OF
the evening, telling of the history OF
the struggleNto organize the men in
the shops. He spoke of the difficult
ties which the organizers had encoun-
tered when the railroads were under
the complete control of the private
owners and he spoke with fervor on
the changed condition when the car
riers were placed under the govern
ment regime.
Labor was promised fulfillment OF
all its desires if it will but keep a level
head for the next ten years by Rev
Alfred Gregory, pastor of the First
Congregational church. He said that
the aristocracy of the earth had heard
the death knell of class rule and de-
clared that members of the so called
aristocracy know that they will be OF
the junk heap within a few short
years.
The formation of an Industrial rec
ommendation commission was urged
on labor by Clyde Reed, secretary to
Governor Allen. Rev. John w. Wal
dron. in a short talk at the opening
of the meeting, urged the men to aid
in every way the replacement of SOL
diers in their old jobs. Vocal music
for the evening was furnished by Mrs
Charles Laird and George Adam
son, each of whom sang several solos
instrumental music was furnished by
kushera's Happy band. G. P. Wass-
weller, of the machinists' union, was
chairman of the meeting.

Aliens Who Advocate Property
Destruction Deported.
There Will Be No Pooling With
Anarchist Here.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Aliens found
advocating destruction of property or
overthrow of the government by force
will be deported under the provisions
of the immigration act of February 5,
1917. This announcement was made
today by Secretary of Labor Wilson in
letter sharply rebuking Micrometer
Lodge 460, International Association
of Machinists, of Brooklyn for pro-
testing against the deportation of
fifty-eight ''aIien radicals" The Sec
rotary denied that the aliens were be-
ing deported without due process of
law and asserted that they had been
given fair trials.
Deport Sabotage Takers.
Mr.. Wilson reiterated his previously
announced decision that no person
would be arrested simply for joining
the Industrial Workers of the World,
but that any alien advocationg sabot-
age or anarchy would be deported,
and said:
"It is my intention, as secretary of
labor, now that the unusual danger
of sea travel is over, to carry out the
clear provisions of the law-ffrst, be-
cause it is my sworn duty to do so,
and second. because any foreigner who
comes to this country and advocates
the overthrow of our form of govern
ment by force is an invading enemy,
who is treated with great leniency
when he is simply deported to the land
from which he came.
Change Government Peacefully.
when our own citizens desire to
change the form of government, they
can do so peaceably in the manner
provided by the constitution. If we
cannot make progress by the peace
able process of discussing and voting,
we are not likely to make any prog
ress by the riotous process of cussine
and shooting. The man who cannot
| be depended upon to vote right cannot
| be depended upon to shoot right
Mr. Wilson called the unions atten-
| ton to the fact that passage of the
immigration act was strongly support
| ed by the American Federation of La
| Dor, "of which you are a part"

BUILDINGS OVER KANSAS
Anthony Asks Postoffices for HOlton,
Sabetha, Horton and Seneca.

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 1S.-Dur-
ing the war congress made but few
appropriations for public building
construction turnout the country. but
with peace in sight there is a proba-
bility that a public building bill will
be reported to the house, this session
of congress, within the next few days.
Congressman Anthony appeared be-
fore the subcommittee on public
buildings and grounds and asked that
construction of a postoffice building at
Holton, Kan, where a site had al
ready been appropriated and selected
several years ago. 1t is probable that
the bill will carry $4,000 for this pur-
pose.
that the government purchase sites for
government buildings in Sabetfia, Hor-
ton and Seneca. A building at Hia-
watha was completed last year.

Chicago, Feb. 1s.-CORN-Bears had an
advantage i'll the corn market today owing
to reports that the custom of fixing of an
average minimum price for packers droves
would end with February, and that begin

left to take care of itself. Selling, however,
was not aggressive. Shorts covered on the
downturns. Opening prices which ranged
from 1ac to 115c lower. with May $1-2112
to S1.213s and July $1.171a to S11s. were
followed by a moderate rally and then by
