scope.
Mr.. Cushman continued by saying
that in the field of community ser
vice the organization was doing its
greatest work in the times of peace.
With the public health nurse as q
central figure. the chapters are max
ing positive contributions towards
better health. In the State of Maine
alone. such nurses are working.
Preventative in the finest sense is
instruction in first aid and life saw
ing. This has long been a Red Cross
activity and recently has been far
more extensively carried on. Workers
in the factories or shops, farmers.
railroad men, and housewives who
know what to do in case Of accident
are a great asset to any community.
Experienced swimmers. adapt in the
best methods of rescue and resuci
tation of the drowning are continu-
ed safeguard of the lives of thous
ands of vacationists who flock to the
shores and lakes during the summer
seasons.
Foremost among the responsible
ties placed upon the Red Cross by the
provisions of it's Congregational
Charter. is, perhaps, that of Disaster
Relief. 70 disasters in which GA per-
sons were reported Killed and 521 in
iured called for emergency relief
measures and the expenditure of ST.
441,4S5 by the organization during
the year ending June 30, 1921. IN
one section of Louisiana the organi-
zation fed more than $4,000 refugees
from the floods every day. If these
disasters ever come. the Red Cross
is prepared to render such prompt
relief as it did during the great
Pueblo food last spring.
In keeping with its ideas and in
fulfillment of it's excepted purpose.
the American Red Cross has under
taken great relief work in behalf of
the refugees from Smyrna and
Asia Minor. Working in coope,a-
ton with the Near East Relief the
organization has rendered incalcul-
atable benefit to the sufferers.
Miss Eleanor E. Griffin. supervisor
of the Red Cross nursing in Maine
was the next speaker and in her
short talk she told what had eeen
done and how it had been accom-
plished in the state. Her topic was
the Junior Red Cross and She went
into detail as to the organization OF
the younger people into this junior
branch during the war and how 1t
had been re-organized to meet the
tests OF peace times. She told how
several towns in the State had been
visited and the chapters of the or
sanixation formed into efiicient units
which had done much public good.
She mentioned the annual Christmas

CLAIMS ALL-UNION =.
COAL MINES WOULD
ELIMINATE STRIKES

Washington, Nov. 2.-Complete;
unionization Of all the bituminous coall
fields within the United states andi
elimination of the non-union miningi
areas which have supplied a part OF
the country's coal supply during ma
tional strikes. will go far towards
eliminating the general strike prob
lem in the industry, committee OF
the United Mine Workers of America
reported today TO the United States
Coal Commission.
The committee. which is composed
of Ellis Searlcs. editor OF the of1cia
paper of the union; John Moore. its
legislative representative; and Thomf
as Kennedy. a Pennsylvania distric{
president. held that the non-unioll
fields, by lower scales of wages, conf
tinuous fighting of the union and oths
crv-ise. prevented sterilization in the
whole industry.
AS to local strikes, the committee
said in answering queries of the coms
mission, large Number are due to the
conduct of arrogant petty officers Of
OF contracts fixing wages and working
conditions by either the employer OF!
the employee. Among the members Of
the union itself. the committee agreed.
there was "a very small minority
which occasionally violated contracts.
but the organization itself was said
to have "a traditional policy Of OBJ
scrvancc of its contracts"
The two general strikes in tile in
dustry that stand out in the minds of
the public" the committee said on
| this point, were those of 1919 and
1922, and were directly due to the re-
! fusal OF the coal operators to negotiate
| new wage agreements with their en-
! ployes.
| The committee further suggested
| that the commission employ investi-
, gators TO look into actual cause of coal
strikes and select thoroughly compe-
tent and experienced newspaper report
ers'' fer the task. The communication
was the second addressed to the COM
! mission by the miners committee in
response to questionneire sent out
by Cha irman John Hays Hammond.
! Employers have not as yet made pub
! lie responses.

municipal results. Nevertheless. the
returns have caused a certain
amount of detection in the Labor
party and satisfaction to those politi-
cal parties opposing labor.
Sir Robert Horne. former cnan-
cellor of the exchequer. in a spec Oh
at Glasgow tonight expressed the
belief that the chief factor in the
defeat of Labor had been the wom-
ems votes and he believed the same
tendency would be shown in the par
Elementary elections.
Former Premier Lloyd George is
still silent on his intentions. his
silence giving rise to all kinds of
speculations and rumors, amorg
the Liberal fold and the reunion of
the coalition Liberals with the AS
quithians.
1t is generally asserted that the
quarrels between the Conservatives
and Coalition Liberals have greatly
strengthened the prospects OF the
Asquithian Liberals in the elections,
and most of the political speeches in
dictate a feeling of considerab BILE
doubt as to what the outcome OF the
elections will be.
Mr.. Asquith, speaking again at
Paisley tonight. replied to qres-
ton propounded by Sir Robert Horne,
few days ago, as to whether Mr..
Asquith3 would be willing to join
with Labor in the event that the
Independent Liberals and Labor:tes
combined, would have a majority in
the next parliament. Mr.. Asquith
rather parted the question and said
that personally he would not Join

main idea of the Junior branch is
that of service, not estimated in
terms of money but personal sac.i-
fec and personal service.
AT noon the meeting was adjoL IN =
ed and the members went to the
Elmwood hotel where luncheon vas
served. After the luncheon, Miss
Sally P. Moses, Red Cross field rep
resentative in Maine. spoke on the
organization in the State
Miss Moses pointed out many of
the facts that the organization had
accomplished in Maine and all that
they hoped to do in the coming
months. She spoke of the Home Ser
care Of the soldiers and looking out
for their families at home. The pub
lie nursing and the department of
life saving were mentioned. In cos
ing her talk, Miss Moses said:
The Red Cross is the greatest
mother IN the world because her
children are the children of the world
and her life is given for those who
fought for their country: she is the
| greatest servant in the world be-
cause in war or disaster or great

AT O'Clock the convention re-
assembled in the Elks hall with the
Reverend Mr.. c. A. Knickerbocker
presiding. The first speaker of the
afternoon session was DR.. Charles F.
Dalton. secretary of the Vermont
State Board of Health.
He said: IF there is any difficulty

Every health and welfare associ-

independently in it's own field, and
built up staff and force which grew
with the progress of the war and re-
manned fairly intact at the cessation
of hostilities. The public was gener-
ally aroused to the great need of
welfare work and responded in funds
and assistance, so that resources
were available for scope Of work
which hitherto would have been con-
sidered impossible. Meanwhile the

LONDON. July 25.-"One of the few
blessings that came to the world while
the war was raging was the almost
complete cessation of the white slave
traffic.
And one of the greatest curses that
has come with peace and the unset
tied conditions accompanying it IS
resumption of this terrible traffic In
human flesh"
This statement was made by Miss
Anne Baker, secretary of the Ma
tional Vigilance Association of Great
Britain and secretary and director of
an international bureau for the sup
preston of traffic in women and chill
dren. That means her statements
carry the weight of highest authority.
During the war transportation was
hard to get and passports were closely
scrutinized," Miss Baker says. This
put a stop to shipment of women to
resorts abroad.
Now steamship passage is easy to
obtain. And restrictions Of passports
are being removed.

THE greatest demand for white
slaves is in the great cities Of South
