 PLACED ON COMMITTEE
Boston Girl Who Helped to Win Telephone Strike at Working
 Women's Congress.

Washington, Oct 17.-A change of date to October 28 for the opening of the International Congress of Working Women, was announced today by Mrs. Raymond Robbins, president of the Ma tional Women's Trades Union League of America, which has called the con- gress. The original date for the open ing session of the congress was Octo- Der g. The pOstponement has been made to the 18th i'll order to allow time for delegates from the more remote countries to arrive for the first days of the congress. All the sessions of the Congress will be held at the New Ma tional Museum.
 The committee on organization which will include delegates from each coun- try, will meet October 24 and 25 to draw up plans for the machinery gov erning the sessions.
 Ten delegates to the Congress in cluding five from Poland, one from Italy, two from Czechoslovakia, and two from France and now on the high seas and are expected to land late this week.
 The leagues committee on interna- tional relations, which is in charge of the arrangements for the congress is composed of Mrs. Raymond Robins, chairman; Miss Mary Anderson, sec retary; Miss Rose Schneidermann, of New York; Miss Agnes Nestor, of Chicago; and Miss Julia Connor, of Boston.

Hall, better known as Saengerbund Hall, on State street. The opening hour is set for 2 p. m. and it is expected that a large attendance of voters who are not entirely satisfied with either of the old line parties will be on hand to start the new party with enthusiasm.
 The name of the new party is the American Liberty Party and it stands, according to its sponsors, for true American liberty for all, rich and poor alike, with justice toward all and favor itism for none. Municipal ownership of lighting plants as well as water sys- tems will be advocated and the personal liberty of individuals in all proper direc- tions is another strong plank i'll the pro posed platform.
 Frank F. Clancy, who is, so to speak, preliminary chairman of the new party, is enthusiastic over the outlook for vic tory for Candidate Neebe and the new party. The candidates enviable record as chairman of the Labor committee of the senate when he represented the 18th district in that body in 1913 is too well known to require repetition and in the senate of 1917-18 he was recognized as the real minority leader although Sen ator O'Su11ivan of Derby was the nom ina1 holder of that title Senator Neebe is treasurer of the Connecticut Fedora ton of Labor and has proven his ability as vote getter i'll local politics.

UNION THEATRES New HaUen Houses Entitled to Our First Preference in Patronage

were amazed by the new turn in the legislative program, would hardly ex- press their state of mind. It was ex- pected that a percentage increase to all postal employees would be granted, in order to relieve the tension caused by the advancing prices and the war time burdens. If the bill as 1t stands ex- presses the attitude of the Washington officials to the men i'll the post offices about the country, 1t affords a rude awakening to many who felt they were making sacrifices of a patriotic nature sure to be appreciated by their ern- ployers. As 1t stands the bill provides most 'iberally for thc employees just entering the service while those of ex- perience seem by the increases allowed to be thought less of in proportion to their service to the government.
 The later stages of the legislation pro- posed may, however, show more sat- isfactory turn for the experienced en- p1oyees in the service. The bill now passes to the conference committee made uP of representatives from the house and senate. The bill the com mittee agrees upon as most likely to pass through both bodies may not be at ali like the senate or the house bill.
 The probability sems to be that the conference measure will avoid all com plicating inequalities and possible in justices by either adhering to the orig nal plan of an increase all along the line on a percentage basis for all em- p1oyees, or flat raise of $20O for all grades.
 There has been and inevitably will be so much questioning of the underlying motives for alleviating the distress of some employees while neglecting others that many observers of congressional proceedings feel sure the house con- ferees will urge a percentage increase to all as the only fair adjustment.
 The bill now under consideration is only temporary legislation to afford re- lief until the postal commission makes its report and the new bill it will pre- sent becomes a law July 1 next.

 Not alone does this new act offer the talent of Florence Tempest but for a double measure of diversion 1t pre- sents Alton and Allen, another team that ranks high in the amusement World as we'll as supporting cast whose mum bers have talent worthy of placing them with the high class company Ill which Tumble In Love" finds them. The coming of this act adds another of those attractions to local vaudeville offerings thanks to the progressive policy under which the Palace Is conducted.

He goes on 10 say: al am convinced
that from the reports submitted the

selves by the timber they save; so mat
an extension Of the patrol system is
amply warranted by the results OBJ
tanned by those already in operation.
He expresses great regret at the policy
Of demobilization OF the air service
which has now cut down the number Of
flyers from 15 900 TO 5000, and this
number may be eut down 10 1000 by

Substitute Organization
For R. 0. T.C. In Schools
Provided, Announcement

Supt. ]. A. Churchill has Just re.
eeived a communication rom Ralph B.
Lister, of Spokane with regard to the
matter of the Reserve Officers Train
ing Corps in the high schools. As dis
trict inspector Of the Twelfth District,
he states that it has been found 10 be
impossible to carry out the proposed
program in the public schools, owing
to the fact that the present law al
lows only 800 active officers for this
duty and all Of these must have at
least ) years commissioned 'rviee, e
has been found impossible ia establish
new units and develop the r. o. T. G.
as they had hoped to do. As a substi-
tute for the r. o. T. G. the schools
which have applied for the service are
advised TO organize cadet corps as pro-
vided in General Orders as Of the War
Department. This plan is very similar
to the r. O. T. c. only that uniforms
are not furnished, and each institution
is expected to furnish its own instrue.
tor. Letters Of explanation have been
sent to all the schools Of Oregon that
have made application, and the hope is
expressed that the cadet corps plan will
be generally adopted with a view to
establishing the R. o. T. G. later on.
Incidentally Mr. Lister expresses his
appreciation Of the assistance rendered
by Mr.. Churchill in bringing the mat
ter before the schools Of the state, and
notes that Oregon has more applications
on file than the other three states
combined.
