FATHER AND SON WEEK
OBSERVED IN NOVEMBER
International Committee. Y. M. G. A.
Changes Dates So As to Celebrate
Week Around ATmistice Day

New York, July PA change in
the dates of National Father and Son
week, so as to have the observance
center each year around Armistice
Day, is endorsed by President Hard
Ing in letter received at the New
York offices of the International Com
mittee, Y. M. c. A., which originated
the observance in 1917 and whose
Boys Work committee continues to
lead its promotion.
The change from the week of Lin
coins birthday, used for the purpose
of the observance until this year, has
been made In response to the desire
of national and international Sunday
school organizations. The presidents
letter follows:
MY attention has been called to
the National Father and Son move
ment, which is to be launched during
National Father and Son week, No
vember Ills, 1t is great pleasure
for me to commend this movement,
which has as Its objective to draw to-
gether in a more intimate way the
fathers and sons of America, and to
strengthen and develop this relation
ship.
The success of this movement dur
ing the past years has won for 1t a
distinct place. Since the movement
has become world wide in character,
II is most fitting that it center around
the date Of worldwide significance,
Armistice Day. Surely the coming
generation will need to be constantly
reminded of their obligation to help
maintain the peace of the world, for
which millions Of fathers and sons
have died in past years.
1T is hoped that all individuals as
well as constructive agencies, inter-
ested in the boy life of our nation, will
give this week due consideration and
recognition by bringing together faith
ers and sons In schools, churches,
clubs and other places, and assisting
the boys Of the community to their
own inherent right of companionship
with their fathers"

MANY OUT OF JOBS
Striking Telephone Girls Won't BE Re.
hired Until There is a Vacancy, Ac.
Dording to Announcement.

Boston, July 27.-The telephone
operators of five New England states
and the New England Telephone and
Telegraph Co., were at peace again
today after exactly one month of strife
which began when the operators
union struck for a seven hour work.
ing day and higher wages.
The peace was declared Yesterday.
After two votes had been taken by
the striking girls on the question OF

company offered which provide that
as many girls as there are positions
vacant may return at unchanged
wages but with seniority and benefit
plans impaired.
In many cities however according
to company officials not nearly all
the girls who went on strike will be
re-employed Immediately as their
places have been filled.
