APPEAL COMES IN
WOMEN'S CASES

The right Of federal court Judges %

latter do not appear for trisl on the
date fixed was upheld yesterday In
decision filed in the Unitd states Cir
cult Court OF Appeals at Philadelphia,
oflrming the decision Of the lower court
which ordered certain bail forfeited.
The decision in effect is expected to
cause more punctual attendance OF per-
sons coming in conflict with the Ted
era laws, particularly among peddlers
and keepers Of dlsorderly houses. 10
has been the custom Of this class of Of
tenders TO stay away from cour, on the
day fixed for their trials and by not
appearing prevent hearing for
months. As a rule the bail is for

until the defendant is given a chance

Washington. June n, 1919.
To the Editor Of The Evening Journal
NV Dear Sir: Doubtless you know
our work of getting positions for dis
charged soldiers and sailors has gotten
away to a good start. All over the
United states the War Department is
securing the hearty cooperation OF all
the welfare services, chambers OF com
merce. labor unions, employers asso-
oiations and many national, State and
civic bodies, all Of whom are at liberty
to use the machinery Of the UnlHd
states Employment Service towards
hooking up the discharged man OF the
army and navy with good job
we have also had the patriotic as
sistance of employers, corporations,
firms and individuals in the matter OF
reinstating their old men in the jobs
thev held before they went to war.
NAV add that between 20 and 50 per
cent of our honorably discharged SOL
diers and sailors have the offer Of their
pre-war Jobs The hero Of today Is
not 10 become the hobo Of tomorrow
In return for this the War and Navy
Departments have prepared handsome
citation which is issued to all those
employers who have assured the de-
partments that they will gladly re-
employ everybody who formerly work
ed with them and left TO serve in the
army or navy during the great war
This citation carries with it permission
for the holder 10 display on his firm 5
service nag the shield OF the United
States as a symbol that he will fuifill
his obligations TO the men who went
10 the defense of the country at the
time Of It's peril.
As yet I do not think that employers
generally throughout the United States
know about this citation. and | am
writing to you 10 ask you will give
this letter space in your valuable col
umns in order that the manufacturers,
merchants. professional men and em-
ployers generally in your community
may know that they are entitled TO
This interesting official document
The citation is signed by the Secre-
tary of War. the Secretary of the Navy
and myself. assistant to the Secretary
OF " ar ~ - NuliNoNAAlNAf NANt 49,
and engrossed with the name OF the
recipient. There are no strings to It,
All we ask is that the employer write
an application for such a citation, stat
ing that he will re-employ his old
service men. and address me i'm care OF
the War Department, Washington, d. &.
The newspapers Of many cities at the
outbreak Of the war published the
names OF those patriotic employers who
agreed TO retain their places for their
men who enlisted or were drafted. 10
occurs to me now that it would be a
very fine and patriotic act If at this
time, with victory won, the newspapers
publish the names Of those firms and
individuals in their neighborho0d who
are takeing back hOnorably discharged
service men, whether they agreed TO or
pot when the war began.
Very truly yours.

No one can fail 10 appreciate the potent influence that
