CHARGES.
RIVER SLAVERY .

Sensational charges that work
men on flood control projects on
the Mississippi River are being
mistreated in "a shocking way
were made yesterday by William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, in a report to
Government agencies.
Green charged that men are
being beaten and forced to work
for small wages and in many in
stances their pay is withheld. They
also are compelled to buy supplies
from commisSarieS run by con-
tractors at which they pay exor-
bitant pricse, the labor chief
stated. Green further said:
"Five cents per day is charged
for ice water used on the job in
warm weather. The women are
flOgged If they do not have the
meals of their men folks on the
works at meal times, according
to witnesses"
The work is in charge of the
War Department and Maj. Gen.
Lytle Brown, chief of engineers,
has ordered an inquiry.

Christmas Shoppers
Selecting at Leisure

With Christmas shoppers max
ing their selections at leisure
from complete stocks, Washing

changes" Immediately after the
holiday will be eliminated.
Women buyers. especially, have
responded to the chance to do
their buying early, according to
Edward D. Shaw, secretary of the
Merchants and Manufacturers
Association. This probably is in
large part due to the persistent
educational campaigns conducted
by various womens organizations,
he said.
