WORLD FELLOWSHIP
viii Send Industrial Commission
to Meet Foreign Labor
Leaders

The War Work Council Of the
Young Women'sr Christian Association
plans to send an Industrial commission
of women to England, France and Italy
in April to meet prominent labor lead
ers of those countries with a view to
promoting world fellowship among wo-
men,
The commission will be made I'D of
Mrs. Raymond Robbins, representing
the National Women's Trade Union
League of America Mrs. Irene Os-
good Andrews, American Association
for Labor Legislation; Miss Grace
Drake, National Consumers League
Mrs. James S. Cushman; chairman of
the War Work Council of the Young
Womens Christian Association Miss
Florence Simms, Miss Marie Wing and
Miss 1mogene B. Ireland, secretary to
the commission, all Of the Y. w. G. A.,
and Miss Mary Gibson, an authority on
employment anagement.
Miss Florence Simms says in re-
gard to the commission: "The war
has forced upon US the bearing
of international relationships in all
things, and our touch with women in
other countries has made US include in
our International thinking the indus
trial life of women. The war has
wrought so many changes in this that
it seems a timely thing that women in
terested in the larger life OF our wo-
men workers should take counsel to-
gether and express their interest with
the hope that certain minimum stand
ards which seem essential to health
and welfare among women may be
agreed upon and obtained.
Our War Work Council is sending
abroad this women's commission from
organizations in America directly con-
cerned with the welfare and largest
life of industrial women"

President Clevelands's Oath
of Citizenship

In the discharge of my official duty
/ shall endeavor to be guided by
just and unrestrained construction of
the constitution, a careful observance
of the distinction between the powers
granted to the federal government
and those reserved to the states or
to the people, and by a cautious ap-
probation of those functions which
by the constitution and laws have
been assigned to the executive branch
of the government.
But he who takes the oath today
to preserve, protect, and defend the
constitution of the United States only
assumes the solemn obligation which
every patriotic citizen-on the farm
in the workshop, in the busy marts
of trade, and everywhere-should
share with him. The constitution
which prescribes his oath, my coun-
trymen, is yours; the government you
have chosen him to administer for a
time is yours; the suffrage which exc
cutes the will of freemen is yours !;
the laws and the entire scheme of our
civil rule, from the town meeting to
the state capitals and the national
capital, is yours, Your every voter,
as surely as your chief magistrate,
under the same high sanction, though
in different sphere, exercises a pub
lie trust. Nor is this all. Every cit
izen owes to the country vigilant
watch and close scrutiny of its pub
lie servants and a fair and reasonable
estimate of their fidelity and useful
ness. Thus is the peoples will i'm
pressed upon the whole framework
of our civil polity-municipal, state,
and federal; and this is the price of
our liberty and the inspiration of our
faith in the republic.

Oleomargarine Bill Made a
Special Order for
Tomorrow
Writers ON DECK
Many New Bills Appearing and $500
Voted Each Member on
Account

MONTPELIER, Feb. 25-The
Vermont legislative session started on
its eighth week last evening, Repre-
sentatives and Senators returning
from the regular weekend recess to
hold sessions of an hour, the Senate
clearing the calendar and preparing
for committee consideration of new
business and the House cleaning up
the business it left on the calendar
Friday afternoon when it got tired of
working and adjourned summarily.
The Senate machine worked smoothly
for the most part and aside from two
conference committees being ap-
pointed did little of interest.
The House avoided much discussion
until it reached the oleomargarine
measure, providing for licensing of
dealers, which came from the COM
mittee with an adverse recommends
tion. Representative Writer'S of
st. Johnsbury arose to interrogate
Mr.. Connal Of Newport Town, repre-
senting the committee. He had Mr..
Connal almost gasping for breath
when he got through with his inquir-
les and then Mr.. Eastman of Groton
moved the bill be made special ord
er for Wednesday forenoon. The
a"oleo" bill has been the subject of
legislative consideration for years and
always has met an unhappy fate. Mr..
Connal was unable to give any infor-
nation as to the legislation in neigh
boring states and in fact was quite
glad of the opportunity to sit down
when Mr.. Writer'S decided to quit his
crosse examination.
Incidentally it might be mention
ed that the representative from the
principal municipality of Caledonia
county is commencing to be, If in fact
he is not already, one of the leaders
| in the House and his forceful presen-
tation of arguments for or against
measures have created much favor
able comment.
House members are apparently
finding the Fl. c.. of L. in Montpelier
something to contend with for a joint
resolution appeared last night provid-
| ing that each member of the General
Assembly be paid another 500 on ac-
count on March 1. Needless to say
the resolution met with approval.
Seven new House bills appeared
last evening and a couple were intro
duced in the Senate. Included in the
House group is a bill providing that
The evening Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1918-1920, 1919-02-25

the owner of an automobile in an
adjoining state may if he has COM
piled with the laws of his own state,
operate the machine in Vermont for
the fee Of 81 provided he resides
within Is miles of the Vermont
boundary line.
The Senate unanimously and with
Senator Villas to insist on its propos-
ais of amendment to the House bill
relating to the membership of the
Board of Control and ask for a COM
mittee of conference.
The President of the Senate appoint
ed as members of the committee,
Senators Steele, Villas and Lewis. The
Senate in it's proposals of amendment
provided that the Secretary of State
and Lieutenant Governor succeed the
Director of State Institutions and
the Commissioner of Agriculture and
the House refused to consider the
proposition at all.
The other committee of conference
was appointed on the Senate bill re-
lating to the salary and fees of town
clerks. The bill, with its ten propo-
sails of amendment by the House, was
passed last Friday but last evening
Senator Villas moved and obtained re-
consideration, the Senate voted not
to concur in the amendments and a
committee of conference was request
ed. The members on the part of the
Senate are Senators Payne, Villas and
Amey.
The newly appointed Senator from
Lamoille county, Harvey w. Varnum,
who succeeds Melville P Maurice, re-
signed, appeared and took the oath
of Office.
The Legislature should, before adj
journment Saturday for March cleo
ton, clean up much of the routine
business and be in a position when
sessions are resumed March 9Th or
9Th to start on the final lap, which
will of course include the considera-
ton of many of the important meas
ures of the session.
The Senate will probably consider
this week the much discussed chiro-
practic bill, the bill to change the
Judiciary system of the state, making
nine Superior judges, and providing
for continuous county court sessions
with only nine districts instead of Ia
county courts, and other important
legislation, while the House among
other things will probably consider
the barge terminal bill. There are
grave doubts that the terminal bill
will meet with favorable considera-
ton in the House Should it reach
the Senate it will undoubtedly be-
come a law but it may never have
the opportunity although friends of
the measure are working overtime to
have it passed. Gov. Clement is
expected, too, to send in several i'm
portant nominations to the Senate foI
confirmation. The appointments were
expected last week and should be
made this week according to all in
dications.
