OUR WOMEN OVERSEAS

A movement is afoot to bring to-
gether in the name Of the American
Women's Overseas Legion" women Of
this country who served abroad in any
capacity during the war. The organiza-
ton has been started in several cities,
Philadelphia among them; but the plan
is to expand by spreading the tidings of
the hospitable welcome to memberships
that awaits all those who as nurses. or
Y workers in leave areas, or Red Cross
canteen attendants or in other capacities,
gave all they could to the winning of the
war. From the five cities wherein it is
now established the "a. ". Q. T. will
spread all over the land, for those en-
titled to membership have a tie of uni
fying experience and dear remembrance
not less strong than the bond that unites
brothers arms when they come to-
gether and clasp hands on great cap
tains that they knew" 1T is entirely
fitting that the women should have their
own organization. Their aim is not self
ish. Their first deed here has been to
fill Christmas baskets for the poor. They
have plenty to do in carrying on the
upsparing effort they made in wartime
to be useful to the fighting men. Those
who came under their benificent, self
forgetful, cheerful ministration have not
forgotten and will not forget.-Phila-

hibitionists will not like the eliraina-
tion of third Of a million dollars
designed to be spent by the depart
ment Of justice in prosecution Of
offenders against the Volstead act,
even though millions yet remain for
law enforcement. No doubt they
will try to re-instate the item and
very likely will succeed. Those in
terested in reclamation will try to
increase the sum allowed for this
purpose. The same will be true Of
all other items cut by the committee.
It is therefore pretty early to crow
about the reduction made in the
sundry civil bill, but we hope it will
not be increased but further cut in
its passage through the two houses
of congress. That hope does not
receive much encouragement from
past experience, however, and we
should be pretty well satisfied If 1t
went to the president as the house
committee framed 1t. Neither do
we expect any cut in the postoffice
bill with its seventy million dollar
increase over last year.

Special to The Daily Tribune.
Harlem, Dec. 30.-Dr. n. A. Mcleod,
who recently came to this place from
Ringing, cut his throat with a pocket
knife Monday night in his room in the
Jacobsen house. Though given attention
by Pr. j. j. Demers. who was visiting
in Harlem at the time, he died at 3
o'clock Tuesday morning without regain
ing consciousness. 1t is believed that
dementia resulting from worry and
overwork was the cause of the act.
DIR. Mcleod was the only doctor in
the Harlem community and for several!
days had been unusually busy caring for
patients. Just previous to his death he
stated he had not slept for four days
and nights. It happened that DR.. Dem
ers was spending his holiday vacation in
Harlem and he offered to care for DR..
McLeod's patients while the latter took
a rest When visited Monday forenoon.
Dr. Mcleod appeared nervous and had
the hailucination that someone had ma
liciously put poison in some medicine he
had taken. DR.. Demers examined him
and assured him that he had not been
poisoned When he was visited by the
doctor later in the evening he was un-
conscious from loss of blood.

One may surmise that the employees
win learn not little during the coming
weeks as they try out what is alluringly
called industrial democracy. That the
men realize they are up against

first action of the new regime is to re-
duce by 10 per cent the wages of the
office force of the concern.
Workers have long been fed on the
idea that factory owners exploit them

In North Carolina, a region generally
conservative in business matters, the
Newbern Iron Works is now the basis
Of an experiment in shop control.
Rather than accept 20 per cent reduc-
ton in wages, the employees suggested
operating the plant and dividing the pro

a loss, or see it closed. the owners as
sented.
Shop management by workers has in
theory some manifest advantages. The
employees-except. perhaps, the office
clerks whose pay is cut-should take
keen and expert interest in output, in
salvage Of materials, Of processes and
economies But financial control will
be less centralized and informed, and
tend to :rresolution.
At the beginning of Soviet rule in
Russia, shop management by workers
was political fetish. The old mana

brutal labor tyranny. But the prole-
tariat thus harshly dealt with need not
