Chamber Of Commerce Men In
vestigate with View to Get
ting Similar One for
Baxter Springs

As q means Of insuring closer re-
latiOns between the business men OF
q town and the farmers in the country
surrounding without doubt a good
s,lstOms -four mill Is one Of the most
sfnsctive. The farmer brings his
wheat to the mill to exchange it for
Aour, also his corn, and while in the
city he takes advantage Of the oppor-
tunity to supply his farm and house
hold needs in merchandise.
The value Of q customs -four mill to
Q community is clearly illustrated in
Parsons, Kan, which point was visit
cd yesterday by n committee from the
Chamber Of Commerce, composed OF
Sec. C. M. Sarchet, Fairfax Barnes,
H. H. Mcclure and A. E. Pfremmer.
This committee went to investigate
q certain type Of mill, such as is now
proposed for Baxter Springs, and all
the members came back enthusiastic
over the proposition.
Perhaps q point that impressed
them most was the way the farmers
around Parsons have received the mill
which was put in new about October
1. The manager, Mr.. Illion, showed
that he had exchanged -four for wheat
with close to 500 different farmers,
many of them two and three times in
the short period and many farmers
coming as far as twenty miles for the
express purpose of patronizing the
mill.
The committee also found that this
type of mill produced -four as cheap
" as the large mills do under the old
process and turn out superior grade
Of -four. The cost of installing the
50 barrel mill complete was about
$4,000. These mills, known as the
Marvel, to the number Of over about
1,2OO are now in operation in the
United States and they are all show
ing up we'll. The process is shorter
and more simple than the old milling
process.
The committee found also that q
local mill of this character can pro-
duce -four and sell to the home people
cheaper than outside -four can be
shipped in and sold, thus giving it an
advantage on the market and insur-
ing q good profit for the owners.
These mills are operated mostly by
local stock companies composed Of
farmers and home investors. Some
times they are owned and operated
altogether by farmers. The stock
holders are realizing good profits and
at the same time, by the elimination
Of the middleman the farmer gets his
-four considerably cheaper than when
he sells his wheat and then goes to the
store to buy his -four. Both the prof
It's of the grain buyer and the retail
store are cut out. A sample of the
-four produced in the Parsons mill was
brought home by the committee and
MI. Sarchet now has it on exhibition
at the Chamber of Commerce rooms.
A campaign will be taken up forth
with to organize a stock company
among the farmers and business men
here. It ought to be easy and by the
time the next wheat crop is ready for
the mill Baxter Springs should have
one ready to 60.

Women Conductors Of Detroit Hold Their Jors.1

Washington. - Three men and
their attorney on one side of the
chamber, three women and their
woman attorney ON the other, in
! contest on the mems part to put
the women out of the jobs they
hold-this was the scene present
ed at the hearing just completed
in Washington before the Natio-
nal War Labor Board in the case
of the women street car conduct
ors of Detroit. AT the close of the
arguments and after several hours
executive de1iberati0n, Chairman
Taft, for the Board, handed down
a decision that the women should
not be Ousted from their jobs upon
demand of the men. The decision
also required that the Is women
to mems union had refused perm
its to work should be employed.
Otherwise the case rested upon
the Interpretation of a clause on
the/contract between the company
and the local division of the Anal
gamated Association of Street
Car Employees, permitting employ
ment of women "if necessity
arise. The Board construed this
clause as requiring that the COM
pany engage no more women.
Women conductors have been
employed on the Detroit United
Railways since the early part of
September, and have proved their
competence. They were employed
upon the same terms as the men
in every respect-wages, hours,
sanitary, and all other require

ments or privileges. They were
given permit cards by the Union,
as required under the contract
with the company, and at the ex-
plication Of the stipulated 80 days
presented themselves for member
ship in the Union. The Union,
however, refused to admit the
women as members, and as soon
as the armistice was signed dem
anded their dismissal by the COM
pany.
The women conductors, who are
all self-supporting women, and
nearly all of them with depend
ents TO support in addition, con-
tended that they had a right to
their jobs equal to the right of
any man unless it be the man who
might have left that particular
job to go into the .army. Most
Of the men who had left the street
cars has left to go into better
paying industries, and the women,
in their turn, had left their $50
Or 60 month jobs to become con-
ductors. at $125 or $3.50 per month.
They could see no reason why the
competition for these jobs should
be open to men only, and asked
for 4 square deal on this point
and equal opportunity with the
men.
But the men declared they
would strike unless the women
were dismissed, and the Amalga-
mated Association of Street Car
Employees hired Il lawyer to fight
the women before the National

War Labor Board.
So the women conductors, back
ed by the Equal Suffrage League,
of Wayne County, and the State
Suffrage Association of Michigan,
and by the National Women's
Trade Union League, numbering
thousands of trade union women
throughout the country, went he
fore the Board with their attor-
ney, Miss Theresa Donald, of De
troit, and fought for their jobs.
In view of the limitations of
the contract in the Detroit case,
and the fact that the Board was
obliged to consider these without
reference to the larger principle
of women's right to war, the wO-
men conductors feel that the out
come was essentially victory for
them. In handing down the de-
cisiOn, Chairman Taft was careful
to state that this case differed
from the case of the women con-
-ductors of Cleveland, where the
contract is different.
The Cleveland case is still be-
fore the board, on a petition for
rehearing, filed by the Cleveland
women and backed by protests
from trade union women and suf-
fragists will over the country
against the Boards previous re-
commendation for the women con-
ductOrs' dismissed.
The Cleveland case, in which
Frank p. Walsh will appear for
the women, will probably be heard
in the near future.

The Federation of Labor has
put itself ON record as declaring
that it consider that national
efficiency rests upon thorough
education. This is the conviction of
the men who are not accused Of
visionary, impractical views Of
life; for they have not been drawn
into the wild vagaries Of pacifism
or anarchy, but have forced the
common necessities of everyday
life squarely, honestly and intelli-
gently. They are the "plian peo-
pie" whom President Lincoln

Editor of the Times
One does not usually overshoot
the mark in confessing his own
wrongdoing, but when it comes to
a vicarious acknowledgment of
another's faults the brakes of eau
ton are not always duly applied.
Still further, confession for others
is especially open to suspicion
unless the confessor has been duly
authorized by the sinner concern
ed.
Your special cable from Ger
trude Atherton, published in Sa-

war was "to save our own skins, !"

any sort or quantity worthy of
consideration. / submit that this
IS not merely a confession of little

Atherton had no authorization to
make, but also confession mate
