Wonen's Industrial
Commission f ate
Decided This Week
$l50,O0O Needed to Oper-
ate Bureau, Say Leaders;
Only $4O,O Is Granted
by House Committee

WASHINGTON, Feb 24.-The fate Of
the women-in-industry service Of the
Department of Labor hangs in the
balance this week. The House Com
mttee on Appropriations has decided
that all activities of the Labor Depart
ment provided for in war time should
be cut off, except the women min
dustry service. This one branch was
recommended by the committee sor its
old appropriation of $4,000 for the
year The service had asked for $780,
600.
kilograms have been received by
members of the House of Representa-
tlves from organized women in all
parts of the country, favoring the con-
tinuation of the men-in-industry
service. Saturday Mrs. Clifford Pin
chot sent a telegram to the committee
on behalf of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association. The tele-
gram read:
ITO cut out this service would be
the greatest mistake and would be re-
sented bitterly by every womans or
ganization. Working women must have
IN peace as we'll as in war the protec-
ton and standardization afforded by
this bureau"
Mrs. Maud Wood Park, chairman Of
the Congressional committee of the
National American Woman Suffrage
Association, said to-day that she be-
llevcd the women-inindustry service
should have an adequate appropria-
ton because it was needed more at this
time than it was during the war.

Society, was called by the defence at
the morning session. Mr. Noonan said
that from 1912 to 1914 the total in
come Of the American Truth Society
was about $4,000 from membership
dues. He admitted that he would not be
surprised if told that at the end Of
this period the bank balance of the
society was zero. The witness said
that he had always known and ad-
mired O'Leary as an American of good
character.
Noonan then testified as to the ac-
tivities of the American Truth Society
for the fortifcation of the Panama
Canal and the advocacy of everything
that tended to promote the interests Of
the United States. He swore OLearv
had denounced the sinking of the Lusi-
tania and that the American Truth So
ciety had passed resolutions denouncing
that act by Germany.
Assistant District Attorney William
j. Morris, of Queens, was called by the
defence as a character witness. He
said O'Leary had tried to get him to
join the 69th Regiment. He said that
he had three brothers in the armed
forces and that all had volunteered.
The trial will be continued to-day.

been in America only few years, and
that they are not citizens. They de-
MED emphatically that they were mem
bers of the l. w. w. When they then
were confronted with their l. w. w.
membership book containing their own
signatures they merely shrugged their
shoulders with q grin.
One of the prisoners admitted that
he had been arrested in Spain for at
tacking man with a knife, and had
then fed the country.
The government officials. however,
are reticent about what they learned
and held the prisoners incommunicaGo
all day.
The Spanish Consul during the day
called at the Federal Building, but saw
only the Department of Justice agents
and an Assistant United States Attor-
ney.
With the plot against President Will
son foiled, there is some doubt about
what charges can be preferred against
the arrested men. The government is
not inclined to reveal all its sources
Of information against the plotters,
even if this should be necessary in or
der to prove the plot to the satisfac-
tion of jury.
The hearings given the prisoners,
therefore, may lead merely to their de-
portation, unless the translators dis
cover conclusive evidence of a plot in
the confiscated papers.
Charges Against Them
The prisoners here are held as mem
bcrs of a revolutionary band which
actually did send delegates to the New
York conference, at which a man was
to be chosen to assassinate President
Wilson. just how far they were aware
OF the nature of the conference to
which they sent delegates has not been
established, but may be proven by the
letters found in their headquarters.
The two Philadelphia prisoners in
New York, however, face more serious
consequences, as the Federal AGENTS
have no doubt that they fully under
stood the nature of their mission to
New York and we're prepared to COM
mt the murder in case the lot fell to
them.
Their past and their statements will
be investigated in every detail, par
tlcularly because the Federal apents
are certain they were not chosen for
delegates in any haphazard manner.
but because they were known to their
associates as men, willing to accept an
aSsassln's commission.
The Federal agents, however. do not
expect to complete their investigation.
or be in a position even to saw what
charges Will be pressed against each
man, for several days.

been awaiting the signature of the
President. 1t is not yet law.
But upon receipt of news that the
good ship George Washington, bear
ing President Wilson, had docked at
Boston, almost running into a bar
(sand) on the way, the retail liquor
market, always as temperamental as
prima donna, became positively hys-
terical. The man who on Saturday paid
70 cents for portion of "straight
hcker," yesterday found in many cases
that he got only 10 cents back out of
90 cents for his usual potation. Every
thing else was in proportion
The revenue bill had not become law,
but the tax had gone into effect. Onlv
Uncle Sam doesn't get it,
The new law carries an increase of
$500 gallon in the tax on distilled
liquors. That figures 80 cents q
quart The number of drinks to a
quart varies in direct proportion to the
number of swallows to a drink. In
other words, it all depends on the size
of the thirst. The saloonist who figures
sixteen drinks to the quart is giving
himself none the worst of it, however.
That means that five cents drink
duueu 10 tne retail price OF the liquor
would cover the added tax. In certain
OF the saloons on Broadway they added
ten or fifteen cents without waiting for
the law to go into effect.
"Why the hurry?" was asked of the
proprietor of one of the places where
the advance was made.
Mondays the first of the week" he
replied, languidly.
Reminded that the increase in his
prices was sproportionate to that in
the tax, he inquircd:
whats dime more or less to a
man who wants a drink ?"
dark plot to discredit President
Wilson and defeat any ambitions shat
he may have for third term was seen
by thirsty Democrat in the new turn
of affairs.
"They wait till he goes to France to
put over this here national prohibi-
tion," he said gloomily, "and now just
as soon as he gets back they double
the price of booze, Just to put him in
bad. What chance has he? What
chance has any of us?'
Then he felt dejectedly in his pocket
to sc if he had the price of one more.
