WOman'S Land Army.

Last summer the Woman's Land
Army was organized in twenty .one
States, and 10000 women worked in
the fields helping to produce food for
this country and Europe. 1t was of
course, started as war emergency,
but now that peace has come it is
still needed, for America has before
her the duty of feeding most of the
world. The Food Administration
has pledged 10000, 900 tons of food
for Europe for 1919. This is almost
twice the amount sent last year Sc
we feel sure the farmerettes will be
needed, and they are ready and anx-
ious to go to the farms again. The
Federal Depart ment of Labor has
created a Division of the Woman's
Land Army which cooperates with
the volunteer organization.
The Maryland Division of the
Woman's Land Army has Offices al
BOG Mccoy Hall, Baltimore, Nd, and
anyone wishing information is invited
to call or write and receive help.

Carpenters Refused.

Builders employing union labor
and others have refused the demand
of the carpenters for so cents an hour
according to a statement made by L.
II. Scates secretary of the Builders,
Exchange in Baltimore. Mr.. Scatcs
stated that he had canvassed the
builders associated with the exchange
and all that he had approached had
stated they will not give the advance
asked. Several of the builders who
had been paying 6299 cents fal adj
vanced the carpenters in their en-
ploy to 20 cents the prevailing rate
said Mr.. Scates in order to even
things up but this was the only con-
cession made.
No strikes or walkouts were report
&c as a result of the stand taken by
the builders and it was not expected
that any would materialize.
