BY GEORGE W. WICKEhSHAM.
Formerly Attorney General Of the
United states.
~ HE last of the resolutions re-
Gently proposed by Senator
Knox in the Senate reads as
follows:
That, finally. it shall be the de-
clared policy of our government, in
order to meet fully and fairly our OBJ
legations to ourselves and to the
world, that the freedom and peace of
Europe being again threatened by any
power or combination ofNpowers. the
United States will regard such sit
uation with grave concern as a men,
ance to it's own peace and freedom.
will consult with other powers af-
fected. with a view to devising means
for the removal Of such menace, and
will, the necessity arising in the fu-
ture, carry out the same complete ac-
cord ard cooperation with our chief
co-belligerents for the defense Of civ
ilization."
This resolution was complete nom
sequitur to the preamble and the four
resolutions which preceded it. Those
propose to establish peace with Ger
many without providing any means
Of preserving it; to set up number
of new nations and abandon them to
their fate.
Recopnition of Interest
The resolution above quoted recog-
nized the grave interest of the United
States in the preservation of the free
dom and peace of Europe and of COM
our chief co-belligerents for. the de-
Tense Of civilization. 1t differed from
the program presented by the peace
conference in Paris by substituting
empty words and meaningless gener-
alities for a definite plan to avert an
admitted evil Even this glittering
generality was unpalatable to those
Senators who are bent on destroying
the treaty at any cost. and by vote
of eight to six it struck out that res
olution and then voted to report ia
vorably to the Senate the remaining
four.
Senators Borah, Knox. Lodge, John
son and those who support them are
not willing to recognize any RESPONSE
bility in America for the future preser-
, walton of the peace Of the world. They
have adopted the position occupied by
President Wilson in 1915, when he de-
clared that we had no concern with the
7 contest in Europe and babe us remain
neutral in thought and deed.
Thinks They Forget War.
These gentlemen apparently have for
gotten that we have fought great war
because the situation in Europe was
menace to our own peace and freedom
as well as to the possible existence of
justice among nations. They would
have it that our dead shall have died
in vain; that We are no longer our

that this might be brought about it provided
three different methods Of procedure, one for
each group of industries.
For group it was recommended that the
government should propose to the various as
sociations of employers and employed the for
nation of joint standing industrial councils in
the several industries where they did not al
ready exist, composed of representatives of en-
ployers and employed regard being paid to the
various sections of the industry and the various
classes of labor engaged. Subordinate to these
national councils the plan provides for district
councils and works committees.
To illustrate the scheme in it's application
TO the United States there would be national
council for the steel industry, made up OF rep
resentatives Of the steel corporations and of
various unions of steel workers. Then there
would be district councils. one for. the Pitts
burgh district one for the Bethlehem district,
one for Birmingham district, and And
at each of the plants there would be a works
committee Of employees In case of a grievance
at any plant. the works committee and the
company would attempt to adjust it. If they
failed. it would be taken to the district council
In the event of no agreement there. the national
council would be called upon to pass final judg-
ment. There would be strike lockout until
the national council had rendered it's decision.
The methods for groups B and c do not
differ in principle, but only in such detail as is
made necessary by the fact that industries in
these groups are less fully organized. The gov
eminent will be represented the concliation
bodies for these groups to a great less
tent, depending on the degree Of organization.
The whole Whitley program, in fact, is
based on the theory that when in any industry
both employers and employed completely
organized. the government should keep hands
off the machinery for Cancellation is set
up and allow them to work their own sal
vation Where organization is incomplete
wholly lacking the government will assist at
the beginning but will encourage both employ
and employed to organize. and when they
have done that industry will move into
group A. and the government will withdraw
it's paternal assistance.
X X X X
Among the questions with which it is pro-
posed that the national councils. well the
district councils and the works committee shall
deal. the Whitley commission in its report to
parliament proposes the following:
ID The better utilization Of the practical
knowledge and experience Of the workpeople.

world peace-after it is
established? What last
ing marks. if any, has the part played
by women in industry during the war
left in this country? And, of vital
interest to the women themselves,
what is to be their wage as compared
with the wage of men?
These are questions which the fed
eral Labor Department through it's
through it's employment service and
the labor bureaus in various states
are now attempting to solve.
Women have been engaged in in
dustry in this country for years,
scores of years. Some persons seem
to have discovered for the first time,
since the war began, that women have
been engaged in industry. AS mat

of working women. in factories and

given similar wages. This demand Of
the women is going to be made more
strongly than ever now.
In the draft of the treaty of peace
with Germany-the provisions relat-
ing to labor-is found a statement of
general principles"
The seventh in the list reads:
The principle that men and women
SHOULD receive equal remuneration for
work of equal value"
The American Federation Of Labor
has gone on record in favor of equal
pay for women doing the same work
as men. The convention of the Ma
tional Women's Trade Union League,
meeting recently in Philadelphia, re-
newed it's demands for equal pay for
equal work by men and women.
At this same convention of the
woman workers it was determined
to hold in Washington next October,
just preceding the international labor
conference provided for in the peace
treaty, an international congress of
working women. Woman labor lead
ers from all parts of the world are
expected to attend this conference.
the purpose of which is to voice the
womens demand for equal pay, equal
representation in the policy making
councils Of the international labor bu-
reaus. and for adequate provision for
dealing with the special problems of
the woman workers in all countries.
Men Demand Equality.
The attitude of the trade union men
engaged in the industries which wom-
en- have entered. particularly the
metal trades, is that they will not OPP
pose the women provided they receive
the same wages as the men for the
same work. They will, however,
strongly oppose their entrance into
new occupations. hitherto held by
men alone, if they are going to under
bid the man workers.
Notwithstanding this attitude of
the men. the women who replaced men
and did their work, except in a COM
paratively few instances. have not re-
ceived the same high wages as the
men. In the first place. the women
were not organized. and the men in
the industries. believing that they
were only working to meet the war
emergency. and that they would be
retired after the emergency, failed to
attempt to organize them. But. with
the signing of the armistice. it has
been clearly indicated that many OF
these women are in these jobs to stay.
The employers in many factories have
determined to retain the women and
are doing so. That being the case, the
question of equal pay for. women and
men is being agitated in many places.
The men insist, for their own protec-
ton. as well as for the protection of
the women, that the employers shall
not exploit woman labor for their own
profit.

War Added Few Recruits.

The Investigations conducted thus
far indicate that comparatively few
women in this country entered the
industries for the first time after the
outbreak of the war and until the
armistice was signed. This skaters
another popular belief that has grown
up. The women who went into the
diers and sailors. who made uniforms
who engaged in the manufacture Of
all kinds of munitions. were the wom-
en- who before the war had been en-
gagged in similar work. In fact, it is
estimated only per cent of the wom-
en- engaged in so-called war work in
the industries did work that was diff
ferent from the work they had been
doing before. These women left off
their work for the so-called unessen-
tial industries and entered factories
which were making equipment or
munitions, or the factories themselves
were converted into equipment and
munition- making houses.
Fight for Equal Wage.
For years a fight has been waging
to obtain for women the same pay
that is accorded men for similar
work. The replacement of the men
in industry who were called into the
service by women during the war and
the capable manner in which they
filled the mems Jobs have given i'm

that this might be brought about it provided

NaUy Alrplanes AU Set To Try
 AHant1c Trip
rRepublican A.P. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, May 2.-At 11:30 o'clock some morning in Newfound- land" the navy's transatlantic sea planes will start on their flight of not less than 1S1s hours to the Azores, it was learned at the Rockaway point naval air station today.
 This means that the three planes, the NC-1, 3 and 4, will travel all of one night and Will not alight before five or six o'clock the morning after they depart from Newfoundland. Sixty destroyers equipped sith powerful searchlights, will sweep the heavens with continuous swinging beams all night so that during the hours of dark ness the air pilots can find their way along a path of light, with lamp post" approximately every 50 miles. For daylight reckoning huge num- bers will be painted on sides of vessels so that observers in the planes may check their course. Flying will be at a height of about 1000 feet
 Eestimates available tonight are that each machine will consume about $50 pounds of gasoline an hour at the start, but that by the time the Azores are reached fuel consumption will have dwindled to something like 369 pounds an hour, the difference being at tributed to tightening of the load as the gasoline is consumed on the pas sage.

NJ Mackay Reinstated

NEW YORK. May 2.-Clarence H. Mackay, president of the Postal Tele- graph and Cable company announced tonight that he had teleglaphed an- other proposition to Postmaster Gen eral Burleson. Early in the week he asked the immediate return Of the Postal lines to the company but this was refused yesterday on the ground that it would give an unfair advantage over the Western Union which would remain under government control. MT. Mackay's latest suggestion is that the Western Union property be returned to it's owners at the same time so both companies could compete for business on equal terms. Certainly if the West ern Union could compete with Us before you took possession said Mackay's tele- gram they should be able to do so now because in the interim, they have received full compensation from you while we have received nothing. They will have to resume competition with us sooner or later any way unless you are able to establish a monopoly of | telegraphic communication in this country which believe impossible"

RAISE IN 'PHONE
 RATES DEFENDED |BY GOVERNNEN NJ
rRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, May 2.-Increase of intrastate telephone toll rates by the postmaster general was defended in brief filed by the government to- day in the supreme court in connection with pending appeals from South Da- kota and Massachusetts courts. The state authorities in their appeals have contended the increase was an undue interference with their police powers Arguments in the proceedings will be heard Monday
 The government brief declares the suits instituted by the South Dakota and Massachusetts authorities to re- strain the postmaster general from increasing the rates were in reality brought against the United States without it's consent and should be dis missed. The government also con tends that in taking over control of the telephone systems of the country the president placed them in the hands of the postmaster general aS his representative under the broao power given him by the resolution, tC manage as he saw Tit" and they thus were in effect added to the postal ser vice and "became as much a part of tht means of conveying news or communi' cation as the mail
 The brief denies that state police powers are Impaired or affected b! not submitting the rates fixed by thu officers of the United States to stat control" because not only the police regulations of the state do not affec rates made by the government itself but the police power does not exten' to such @ schedule.
 "The public" the brief adds, 'ha acted and fixed the rate when the pub lie officer of the United States fixet it."
 The government contends that stat public utilities commissions were neve authorized when created by the states nor since, to deal with the rates o | public utilities operated by govern mental agencies.

 EUROPE ID BE HOME
 BY NEXT SEPTEMBER

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Determin- alton of President Wilson, indicated in press advices from Paris, that no American troops shall continue on German soil for a longer period after the signing of the peace treaty than may be necessary to embark them for home, is borne out by present plans of the war department which contem- plates the return of the entire Ameri- can expeditionary forces by September. Becausetof this General March, chief of staff. is making every effort to speed up the demobilization in this country. An official announcement is Sued today as to the accumulation of surplus clothing for the troops stated that the estimates were based on troop withdrawal to be completed in September
 The September date represents esti- mates by authorization officials as to the maximum possible speed in with drawing the entire force in Europe, in- cluding the troops holding the Cob lenz bridgehead sector on the Rhine If anything officers believe the move ment will be accelerated rather than retarded. The schedule has been ex- ceeded recently and in incrasing meas ure from week to week with an indi- cated monthly movement. of 450,00C men. the best prediction of Genera March and his aides, bid fair, 1t was said to be more than reassuring.

Denver Raise is Stopped

DENVER, May 2.-Steps were taken by the city of Denver today to bring injunction proceedings in the courts to prevent the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph company from putting into effect increased rates announced yesterday. Today's action came as surprise. as the mayor was quoted yes- terday as saying the city would take no action.
 Mayor W F. R. Mills today instructed James A. Marsh, city attorney, to pre- pare the papers necessary for bringing an injunction suit against the tele- phone company. The mayor is anxious for early action so that the telephone controversy can be disposed of before he retires on June 1.
 Almost simultaneously with the an nouncement from the mayors office, came statement from the state utili- ties commission that a conference of members of the commission and of ficials of the telephone company today was productive of an agreement of the telephone company to request Post master General Burleson to give tele- phone subscribers receipts for amounts of the increase so that in case the United States supreme court denies the legality of increases, The sub- scribers might receive their money in a refund.

ONLY 0NE WEEK LEFT AND JOAN
 STILL LAGGING
Less Than One Third Quota Yet In Subscriptions
 Are Falling Short - Try for Whirlwind Finish to Get Nation Over the Top.

WASHINGTON, May 2.--With only seven working days left, more than two-thirds of the Victory Liberty loan remains to be subscribed. Treasury department figures tonight showed $1,- 497,347G0O, less than one-third of the l4an quota, pledged.
 Individual subscriptions in nearly every reserve district were said to be running far short of those in previous loans. apparently indicating trat the public was not awake to the necessity for raising the full S4,500, ,0O0,000 asked 4f1r in order to bring the men back from overseas, complete demobiliza- ton and care for those wounded in the service. Plans were immediately laid and telegrams sent to all state organ izations in the country to make the last seven working days of the campaign productive of sufficient individual sub- scriptions to put the loan lover the top" without calling on the financial institutions and tying up credit.
 The St. Louis federal reserve dtsricy leads the country in having subscribed 59.6S per cent of it's quota and two oth- CT western districts, Chicago and Min neapous, rank second and third, re- spectively. The southwest or Dallas district, was at the bottom when the latest tabulatiOn of subscriptions was made.

RAINBOW DIVISION IS MUCH CHANGED

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Only about thirty five per cent of the more than 22, 900 men composing the 42nd (Rain- bow) division, as it returned from France, were members of the original division as organized at Camp Mills. New York.
 Practically all of these men, it was learned today, have been wounded or otherwise incapacitated during the months of service. They had been re- turned from the hospitals and rest camps to the division and when it re- ceived orders for home, special eff fort was made by the division staff to get together all the original Rain bow personnel who had survived the rigors of the campaign.
 The intense activity of the division during the fighting is shown by the number of replacement troops which passed through it's muster rolls during that period. This number is placed by officers of the division at approxi- mately 67,000 men against the full wal strength of 27,500. Toward the end oi the fighting. however. many of the men sent forward is replacement were original members of the Rainbow division. who had recovered and re- turned to duty.
 The last elements of the 42nd ar rived yesterday at Newport News.
