seas service with the British mill
tary hospitals, Marion Dickerman,
of Oswego County. found herself a
candidate for the State Assembly in
the fall elections. She found, more

than Thaddeus c. Sweet, Speaker Of
the Assembly,

Army Food Sales
Community Councils Fur.
nish Machinery to Get
Women Together for
Work at School Centres

V VOLUNTEER workers in the
y army food sales we're recruit
ed by the Community coun-
CHS. Miss Laura A. Cauble, Deputy
Food Commissioner, said that the
facility with which the system of
volunteer grocery clerks was in
stalled was due to the complete card
index Of organizations and individ-
uals in the city which the Com
munity councils have on hand. She
turned the work of getting volun-
teers over to them.
A policeman was in charge at
each school centre to whom the vol
unteer workers reported the day of
each sale. The number of workers
averaged at each school has been
fifteen day, although only ten
were needed.
The call sent out by Mildred
Taylor Of the Community councils
was made official by Miss Cauble's
confirmation. Reports are turned in
every day by the chairmen of each
district which show whether the
number necessary to carry on the
work are on hand and how we'll they
are handling their work.
The Community councils act as a
clearing house for all organizations.
They can put over almost any kind
of an activity through their system
of exchange of ideas and people to
carry them out. AS an example of
the exchange Of service accom-
pllshed by the councils, group of
Pelham Manor volunteers helped in
one of the New York schools last
week in carrying on the sales be-
cause they had been notified that
there was shortage and had of
fered themselves for just such
emergencies. The army food sales
have offered the first opportunity
for the Community councils to show
what their organization can do to
fill up the gaps when a rush call is
sent out for any public work.

Shopper or
Detective?

1t will be interesting to watch the
effect on clothing and food prices
should women agents be named. Re-
tallers will never know whether Mrs.
Shopper is Department of Justice
agent or the same old customer who
has been attending sales for years.
Perhaps some of the house detectives
of the department and speciality
stores, who have their hands full

of their employers, may be chosen

between these representatives Of
Uncle Sam and the ordinary GUS

women may use their tendency to

things TO the benefit of Uncle Sam
Comparison of the prices paid hv
the various home makers for staple
goods and wearables will assume a
nelghborhood interest.
1t IS generally understood that the
rood Control bill is temporary in its
lntents and purposes. 1t has beeu/
framed to meet the present hie1
cost Of living. But, as the Food
Administration acts during the war
educated the women Of the country
this new bill may give them addi-
tional insight inp the matter of buy
ing and selling in quantities.

No More
LADY Bountifuls"

Mrs. Moskowitz, as Governor
Smiths appointee at the head of the
women's committee Of the Recon
struction Commission. sees in this
move to start building work that
will be Of benefit to the building
situation in general. The prices of
materials for building are almost
prohibtive and the slump in bust
ness has not added light to the stu
alton In the belief that the sick
and destitute need care and proper
housing as much in times of high
prices as they will if materials ever
go down. the Jewish institutions are
among the first to start construction.
The women interested in the cam
paign say that the campaign marks
a new era in charity work The
days of the Lady Bountiful" phil
anthropist are past. Charity and
philanthropy are so closely related
to public health and welfare matters
that have become of state interest
that they maintain their work on
this campaign is simply another
form of political work. Civic re-
sponsiblities are manifest in this
work For instance, in one of the
hospitals which Will benefit under
the work, tubercular patients are
not only treated, they are taught
trades. This gives them q chance
to get ahead after they are dismissed
from the hospital without becoming
a public menace and slumping back
into their old disease.

All Government
Jobs Represented

The National Federation of
Federal Employees reflects every
branch Of the governmental func-
tons. Women representing various
locals will show three kinds of jobs
Uncle Sam gives women. The
Bureau Of Engraving and Printing,
where the stamps and paper money
are made, includes the women who
are engaged on mechanical proc
esses. The union there, one of the
Oldest in the Federation, will send
five young women to the convention.
They are Miss Nora James. Miss
Gertrude McNally, Miss Belle Trou-
land, Miss Lillian D. Gray and Mrs.
Mary Birchhead.
The women skilled in making the
flags for the navy are among those
who are concerned with representa-
ton there. They are very poorly
paid according to the government
scale. Raising the wage of these
women is scheduled for discussion
at the convention, Mrs. Elizabeth
Aldrich, of the New York Navy
Yard, has been sent by the New
York local Of the national fedora
ton, and she will speak on that
topic.

Philadelphia sent a woman as a
duly authorized delegate. She was
Miss Emily Leonhardt, stenogra-
pher. who will represent the great
mass Of clerical workers on Uncle
Sans payrolls Mrs Luella Poin-
dexter, of the Bureau of War Risk

ton
The professional woman in govern
ment service will be represented by
Miss Florence Etheridge, the
United States Probate Attorney for
the Indian service at one of the Ok
lahoma stations. An executive from
the government service will be Mrs.
w. f. Cramer, of Kansas City, head
Of the Women's Division of the
Federal Employment Service for
Missouri.
At the first annual assembly of
the organized government workers.
held two years ago in Washington.
there was one woman delegate.
AT the next meeting, one year later,
at Chicago, there We're two women
delegates. This year there are ten
women representatives of their To-
Gals. The increase of women mem
bers of the locals in various cities is
the reason for the increased repre-
sentation.
The government has thousands of
local employees in many different SER
vices outside Of Washington. This
is true of the far Western coast as
well as in New York City, where 30
600 government employees are busy
The federation feels that it has not
begun to reach its high-water mark
as yet. 1t has already taken in sci
entists and specialists. 1t now has
prospects of obtaining camps of
f1iers as locals to the national BODY.

In 1889 it is safe to say little

Some Companies
favor Women

Hiss Wren said that it was gener-
ally understood that the l. r. T. did
dot favor women workers on its
lines and had displaced them with
Men as rapidly as possible. The B.
4. 7. and the New York Railways
Company are believed to like the
women employees and to wish to
continue employing them.
In the recent increase in salaries
announced by officials of the New
York and Queens County Rail
way Company the women conductors
were included on the came terms
with the men.

Hope to Postpone
Enforcement

The head of the Women in In
dustry service in Washington, upon
examination of the regulations of
women's work in New York, said
that it would be impossible for
women to compete with men when
they we're limited by these rules.
The law has never been strictly en-
forced. We are hoping that the
enforcement can be postponed until
mother meeting of the Assembly
and then We shall devote ourselves
10 a repeal
The effect of the law, according
to Miss Wren, has been to cut down
the number of women employed by
transit lines from 1900 to l,7OO.
Practically all of the women guards
and conductors have been let off or
shifted 10 ticket selling jobs. The
B. R. T. still has LOO women in
this work, the L. R. T. 200 and the
New York Railways 400.
1t is understood that women
members of the union who sup
ported the strike on the B. r. T.
Will, as long as they hold their jobs,
benefit by whatever the union men
gain. Some of the women en-
ployes went on working during
the strike and others, the mem
hers of the union, joined the men.
However, the strike was not the
vital issue with any of the women.
Their positions are uncertain and
there IS only one issue so far as
they can see, and that is whether or
not they are going to be permitted
10 go on working for the transit
companies.

consideration is to be
" given the appointment of
women as special agents for the
Department Of Justice in the en-
forcement Of the Food Control Act
after it has been passed by both
houses of Congress. 1t has been
said informally that recommended
ton will be made to name women
among the agents necessary to en-
forcement of this new legislation.
This recommendation will be placed
before Frank Burke, chief of the
Bureau of Investigat of the De-
partment Of Justice.
The Department Of Justice has
employed women agents previously.
A number of them did spy work in
this country during the war. They
were stationed in the larger cities
of the country-New York, Boston,
Baltimore and others.

Good Detectives
OF High Prices

Il think women would be most
valuable as agents in the enforce
ment Of this profteer act, not only
for clothing overcharges but for
food as WELL said one of the
officials of the Department of
Justice. Women have been the
purchasers Of these commodities for
years and they ought to make good
detectives of profteers.
The aspirants to such positions
would have to have background of
experience as investigators. The COM
pensation of such agents is usually
four or five dollars a day and ex-
penses.
Investigators of overcharges on
food and clothing would be in direct
contact with the offices Of the United
States attorneys in various districts.
The work would seem fitted to grad
yates from law schools or young at
torneys wishing to gain a knowledge
of Federal prosecution work. Under
the act as passed by the House Of
representatives, any protiteer would
be fined $4,000 or sentenced to two
years in jail. Evidence to convict a
profiteer would rest almost wholly
upon the special agents of the De-
partment of Justice.
Housewives who have long cher
lshed the desire to get legal action
against the retailer who has taken
too much for little Johnnie's shoes or
the family beefsteak may yet have
the qualification of pouring their
woes into the ear of feminine De-
partment Of Justice agent.
