On occasion the organizers of War

In most happy places, and the reports
that find their way to headquarters
are of real interest.
o. p. Stark, one Of the Arkansas
field workers. on a recent visit to DAN
vile. Yell County, went through one
of these experiences, and his report
to Moorhead Wrish., Stale director at
Little Rock. was replete with happy
relation of the facts.
Stark was evidently unaware that
the members Of the Yell County Boys
Pig Club and the Girls Canning Club
were to have field day on that par

And when the feast was spread the

Then the boys told about their ven-

But this was not all. Thrift had a

STAT|ONMENURGE
. $500 YANK BONUS

The Order of Railroad Station
Agents went on record as being in
favor of the plan to give every dis
charged soldier, sailor. and marine a
bonus of $500 cs soon as possible. at
the meeting held this morning at the
Hotel Continental.
A resolution was adopted advocat-
ing a national labor university to be
located in Washington. where work
ers and the children of workers, par
ticularly those returned from the war,
could get the advantages of univer-
sity training at a minimum cost.
Discussion of the means of pro-
curing the wage increase for that
portion of railroad employees who are
classified in the regulations as
supervisory agents" led to the adop-
ton of a resolution asking Director
General Walker d. Hines for an early
ruling on the definition of the term,
supervisory agent" 1t was pointed
out that in many localities these men
have not received the increase to
which they are entitled because
regional directors cannot decide just
what employees come under that head.
Woman's suffrage, the League Of
Nations, and the Presidents action in
the world treaty were Endorsed. At
the final meeting this afternoon it
was decided to hold the next conven-
ton at Pittsburgh next May.

LAWS, SAYSKENYON

A reconstruction program that will
same rights in pay and promotion as
men, and provide for employment on
Government schemes during periods
of labor surplus, is the aim of Ameri-
can men and women who served in
the war.
This was the substance of discus
sion last night at the headquarters
of the National American Woman's
Suffrage Association. 1926 Rhode
Island avenue northwest, where adj
dresses were made by Senator Ken
yon of Iowa, former Congressman Ed
ward Heating, chairman of the Com
mittee. on the Redistribution of Sala-
ries of Federal Employees, and Miss
Mary Van Nleeck, director of the
woman in industry service of the De-
partment of Labor.
Senator Kenyon declared labor and
capital must stand on an equality of
partnership. The United States is be-
hind the rest of the world in caring
for those who produce the national
wealth, he said.
Would Restrict Immigration.
He declared If the Supreme Court
held unconstitutional the child labor
law, some provision ought to be made
to stop manufacturers from grinding
up children into factory dividends.
immigration ought to be restricted
for two years, according to Senator
Kenyon.
THE American workman is not a
Bolshevist," said Mr.. Heating. He is
too straight a thinker for that"
THE American worker is the con-
sentative of conservatives among the
worlds toilers." he continued, He
demands no special privilegesTbut in
sists on elemental rights. Hsrhas

Miss Van Vleeck said that in spite
of their war record millions of

Next to the suffrage amendment
the measure of greatest Importance

will be. to establish on a permanent
basis, with adequate appropriation,
