Colored Women
In Industry

The work of colored women during
the mobilization of women power to fill
men's places proved that the colored
woman has her place in industry and is
capable of maintaining high principles
Of efficiency. In many cases the un
skilled labor fell to her lot and we
found her doing very heavy work in
brickyards, sawmills, and glass fac
tories. The railroads employed her in
great numbers to do yard-work and
track. cleaning. But then she also found
that she was needed in labor which re-
quired more skill, in knitting and cloth
ing mills, in underwear, button, embroi-
derry, and feather factories.
In one place which was working two
shifts, white women had the day shift
and colored women the night shift. Dur
ing given length of time the output of
two shift was compared and the col
ored women averaged 1900 more shells
than the white.
A group of colored women in one city
were found dipping clay in glaze and
stacking, chipping impurities from clay,
shoveling and wheeling rock, trucking
brick, and loading scrap iron. In some
OF these cases the women were being
paid less than men whose places they
were so efficiently filling. The wages
paid to dien were three dollars day
for shoveling in clay bank, but the
women who released them for the army
were given dollar or half dollar less.
To prevent conditions like these and
the lowering of labor values means that
colored women must be organized, just
as our white women need organization.
Women have come into industry to
stay, and women means colored as
we'll as white. Their industrial prob
lens are the same--conditions Of work,
pay, hours, housing, and recreation.
The adjustment of labor includes the
colored women. To meet her needs the
Young Women s Christian Association
has already established eight industrial
centefs. Southern Workman.

THE GIRL SCOUTS r..
FAvORs NO COLOR
(By Associated Negro Press.)

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE Girl
Scouts being thoroughly democratic
and American organization, it favors
neither color nor creed. Owing to this
advantage the number Of Negro Girl
Scouts is on the increase, showing a
splendid roll to date. Nearly $50 have
enrolled under leadership especially
chosen. The roster shows that the Euc-
lid Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church
has twenty scouts, under Jessie Blair,
captain.
AS mark Of force Of the new move
ment in the education Of girls, q
glance at the July report from National
Girl Scout headquarters, just received
here, shows that during last month 258
girls, new scouts, have been added to
the national roll, and this does not in
clude the unregistered scout girls.

 EDWARD FRYER, president Vac uum Oil Co.-"We face industrial crisis unless we alrgely and rapidly increase exports in finished products. Export cotton in fabrics, not in bale; iron in steel in machinery and im- plements; leather in shoes. Use our coal under our own factory boilers. Supply what the foreigner uses and always calls for.

 Nearly everything big, powerful and efficient in American business, com merce and finance is here, through 2000 delegates, at the convention of the National Foreign Trade council.
 Skill and speed in American shops and factories is making more goods than we can sell in our own coun- try, and therefore, We must find ways to sell the surplus of goods to out side countries-that, in short, is the statement of the national danger be- ing considered by the convention.
 As described by James A. Farrel, president of the United States Steel and chairman of the Ma tional Foreign Trade Council, these steps are immediately necessary:
 Constructive consideration of the needs of American foreign trade en- terprise in this emergency; means and methods that will enable our over- seas commerce effectively to meet the conditions it faces; arousing of American manufacturers, farmers, laborers, bankers, educat-

 CR|NP IN CURES"
Dipsomaniac Ravens Prepare to Close Their Doors
 After July First

CHICAGO, May .3.-Plans are be- ing made by owners of more than 200 drink cure institutions to discontinue business with the coming of national prohibition, according to officials of institutions here. A few of the places may continue indefinitely as drug cure sanitariums, but large majority ex- pect to close within a year.
 James E. Bruce, an official of a drink cure corporation that adver- tises it has cured more than 500,O00 victims of alcohol, said the prohibition wave had for some time caused de creased business.
 We figure there will be no need for our institutions after the country goes dry" he said However, we expect business to increase for a few months right after prohibition be- rapidly decrease.
 "A few years ago we had sixty branches in operation throughout the country. Today we have twenty-six Drug cases constitute about 25 per cent of our business, the number be- ing about the same as before the Harrison anti-drug law went into eff feet five years ago. But we do not think it would pay to continue treat ing drug cases alone.
 Adoption of a bone dry prohibi- tion by a number of states has de- creased business in many sections Business also fell off during the war, but last fall it picked up again at about the time the influenza epidemic and has been fairly good ever since"
 An official of one of the oldest chain of drink cures in the country ex- pressed the view their institutions would remain open for at least a year after the coming of national prohibi- tion. He admitted that beyond that the future was uncertain. Two years ago this concern operated fifty branches. Today the number has been reduced to fewer than twenty. He said a few of the branches might be continued permanently for, drug users who, since the passing of the Harrison anti-drug law, "are confined very largely to the wealthy classes and residents of the underworld"

Bisbee and the Warren district well come their returning fighters of Ari- zona's 15Sth today
 The troops left Fl Paso early this morning in a special train, accom- panied by Governor Campbell and will be distributed throughout the state to their homes. Demobilization was completed at Camp Owen Bierne, Fort Bliss, Texas, and during their stay in Fl Paso, they were dined and feted by the hospitable folks of the Pass City. According to press reports no returning heroes were ever given a greater welcome than were the boys of the 15Sth.
 The boys are expected to reach their homes as far as Phoenix by tonight.
 In anticipation of the arrival of the victorious warriors from this district, Mayor Jacob Erickson has issued the following address of welcome: .

 On the plains of Picardy you start led the whole world when you were thrown into the breach alongside the gallant sons of France and England. From that moment on, the fight you made was one of aggression, ever go- ing forward and retreating not one step in the face of the enemy When we look back upon your glorious deeds our hearts are filled with a pride which we cannot conceal.
 During the long months that you have been away from us our hearts have been with you and we knew that the day would not be for away when you would come back to us. We knew that you would come back, though only when you had fin ished the task that was before you.
 The promptness in which you shat tered the war lords hopes for world ;dominition; the rapidity in which you invaded territory that had been held by the enemy since the outbreak of the war; the charity which you exhibited to those whom you had re- leased from the oppression of a ruth less foe, have won you unto the hearts of all-you have made it possible for the world to breathe once again the freedom of democracy and you have set standard of manhood and cour- age that have been a source of grati-

His audacity awed them and they follow ed. He led them to a spot where armed squads of military police were concealed, then ordered them to sub- init to arrest. They surrendered.
