FOREIGN MISSIONS IN
WAR-TORN ROUMANIA

Dear Brother:-
Please see that the following gets
into your local paper as early as pos
sible.
In response to the special invita-
ton of Queen Marie of Roumania, the
Board of Foreign Missions of the
Methodist Episcopal church at the
meeting of its Executive Committee
voted $4,000 cash to be sent immedi-
ately to her majesty for the relief of
her destitute people, according to an
nouncement by +. I. Johnson, Secre-
tary of Cincinnati, area. An addi-
tional $4,000 in supplies to be ship
ped as soon as procured was also
authorized to 60 to Roumania to be
distributed by Dr. Elmer E. Count,
Superintendent of Methodist work in
Bulgaria, who will 60 to Bucharest
for this duty. DR.. Count will work
under the direction of Queen Marie.
This special appeal to our organi-
zation from the Roumanian queen,
said DR.. F. I. Johnson, came as a re-
suit of the numerous reports reaching
her ears of the tremendous projects
for good which we are launching in
all parts of the world, and especially
of the relief work we are carrying on
in the devastated countries of Europe.
Queen Marie is striving to bring re-
lief to the great numbers of destitute
and starving children among her peo-
pie. Many of these little folks have
lost both parents through the rava-
ges of war and invasion, and now live
like wild animals in the ruins of their
former homes in the scattered vii
lages of the war area.
This was an opportunity for relief
work of a definite and desperately
needed kind, and the church has re-
sponded at the earliest possible mo-
ment The funds for this work as
we'll as for other relief projects under
way in France, Italy, North Afrca,
Scandinavia, Siberia, in the other
parts of the Balkans, and in Central
Europe, are supplied out of the $113,-
100000 Centenary offering of the
Methodist Episcopal church for a
program of world regeneration, of
which $12,500,000 is to be spent upon
war reconstruction in Europe alone.

passage BIZ congress of bills now pend
ing to extend workmens accident in
surance to longshoremen and seamen,
in order to rescue them from legal
no-man's land" was urged by speak
ers at the opening session of the Four
teenth annual meeting of the -Ameri-
can association for labor legislation
here today.
The speakers declared differentia-
ton should be made between seamen
and longshoremen in the application
of accident insurance, advocating fed
eral administration of the former
group, in order to insure uniformity,
and state jurisdiction over the latter
group, whose work is mostly confined
to land.
The recent decision Of the supreme
court depriving part time workers
from receiving accident compensation
under state laws was cited as rea-
son for action defining their status
in the application of workmen's COM
pensation laws.
Among the speakers were Andrew
Furuseth, president of the lnternation-
al Seamen's Union, and T. V. O'Con-
nor, president of the International
