SASS LEAGUE PRICE FOR
 MILK DURING MAY
Some Farmers Refusing to Sell at This
 Price

The Dairymen's League price for May milk is s2.55 for 3 per cent milk in the 200-210 mile freight zone, with the usual differentials for freight and butterfat.
 For the year preceding April first, the Dairymen's League, has 1 sold it's milk upon a plan which took for a basis the quoted prices of but ter and cheese with certain allow ances and differentials made for skim milk and whey, and for the higher costs of producing milk in League territory. This plan was I fairly satisfactory to the farmers during the summer months of 1919, bu5 owing chiefly to the very rapid advance in the cost of feeds,C labor, and: other supplies which the farmer needs to produce milk, the plan did not bring satisfactory prices during the winter.
 | A further continuance of the old plan was also unsatisfactory to the dealers because of the shutting off ! of the export trade of manufactured ! dairy products. During March the ! dealers submitted a revised plan to 1 be used as a basis for selling milk. This schedule had marked deductions of the values given in the older plan, and was entirely unsatisfac- tory. to the Dairymen's League. It was rejected, and the milk sold for April after many conferences, at $2:55.'
 I The dealers again proposed that 1 the revised plan be used for buying May milk. At a meeting of the Board of Directors on April 21 this plan was again rejected, and the Executive Committee was instructed to sell the milk on basis of the cost of production, making such allowances as were right and neces- sary to allow for market conditions. | The Committee was instructed that | under no conditions was the price for May milk to be below $2.55, and on this basis and at that price an agreement was finally reached with the Conference Board whereby the Board agreed to recommend to its members the price of $2.55. AS the Conference Board has no control lover its members, their recommen-
 dstion may not be accepted by every laealer member of this Board, but there is little doubt but that most
 of them, if not all, will pay the price asked without trouble. ,s-z ~-...' a Market eonAitAoHs tut ats this time 4 arc somewhat improved from wha, Ii they were when the April milk was t sold, and if these conditions should n continue to improve, producers may
 look forward with hope for more
 satisfactory prices following the flush months.

AIR DEPARTMENT BILL
HAS SETBACK IN SENATE

The New independent air depart
ment bill suffered its first serious al
teration in the Senate yesterday, when
the proposal to make the director of
the service a cabinet officer was elm
mated on motion of Senator Smoot
republican. of Utah. A second amend
ment by the Utah senator. reducing
the directors salary from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year, failed of action for lack
of quorum.
Sharp opposition to the bill devel-
oped III the debate. Senator Borah,
republican, Idaho. contended it would
increase air service expenditures, and
Senator Gerry, democrat, Rhode Is
land, asserted that it would foster red
tape, while Chairman Wadsworth of
the military committee. which re-
ported the measure, argued that it
would increase efficiency and cut ex-
penditure from $50. 900 to $50, 00O,-

FUTURE FOR WOMEN
IN RAILROAD EMPLOY
Pointed Out in Annual Report of
Miss Pauline Goldmark of Rail-
road Administration.

Railroad work offers a distinct fu
ture for women, Miss Pauline Gold
mark. manager of the women's serv-
ice of the railroad administration,
points out in her annual report sub
mitted today to Director General
Hines.
Testimony from their superiors
indicates that women will undoubted-
ly progress further in all forms of
work" said Miss Goldmark. while
in some offices there is hesitation in
encouraging them to advance into
offices there is a distinct effort to put
no obstacles in their path.
The outstanding feature of the
year has been the continued en-
ployment of women in the service.
While the number has decreased 20
reached on October 1, 1918, it still
remains two and one-half times
larger than before the entrance of
the United States into the war
On January 1, 1917, Miss Goldmark
reported there were $1,000 women
United States; that this number had
increased to 61.162 on January I,
1918, and to 101.7S5 on October 1. 1918.
This number dropped to 81,S03 on
October I. 1919.
Miss Goldmark reported that on
January 1. 1917, there were 31,400
women employed on class one rail-
roads in the United States; that this
number had increased to 61.162 on
January l, 1918, and to 1O1.7s5 on Oc-
tober l. 1918, and had dropped on Oc-
tober /, 1919, to S1,S03.
Two important factors were, in
part. responsible for this decrease"
said Miss Goldmark. First, the return
of men from service with the Army
and Navy. and second. the drastic re-
duction of labor force on the railroads
early in the year in order to effect
necessary economy"
Salaries of women employed as cleri-
cal workers ranged from S45 to S135
a month while those of women en-
Gagged in other classes of work ranged
from $40 to 500 a month. with the
largest percentage receiving between
$40 and $50 a month

without comment he made a grave
error.
First, we would like to know by
what authority he attempts to
regulate the action of Lisabeula in
regard to their pastimesG
We want also to call his atten-
ton to the fact that Lisabeula has
a minister of her own, the Rev
Howard, who is perfectly capable
OF handling any situation arising
in Lisabeula without asking foi
help or suggestions from Vashon.

ing one.
Third, it is an easy matter to
knock and tear down, but it is not
near SO easy to boost and build up.
Constructor of any kind requires
good will and a little gray matter,
whereas anyone can sit at home
and tear down and ridicule the
efforts OF others.
When a man becomes so preju-
diced upon any subject as to tear
down the work of others without
taking the trouble to even inyesti-
gate what is going on, he is far
from hope of ever building.
The warehouse at which we hold
our gatherings is always open to
inspection OF anyone, and we
could think of nothing that would
please us more than to have Va
shon send over a committee to as
certain to what extent the dances

any Of the young folks who at

In his statement that dancing
is vice, the Rev. is at least fifteen
or twenty years behind the times.
If he was reading the papers OF

would have seen that Mr.. Ole

one Of the bright lights at nearly

If the Rev. should ever stray as
