WOMEN'S WORK OUTLINED
Department of Labor's Activities Re
hearsed at Convention.
WASHINGTON. The results of wom
an's work in the war, plans for their
work in the reconstruction period, sug
gestions for the "Back-to-school drive,"
and a campaign to raise school-teachers
salaries, were some of the high
.spots touched in the recent convention
of the Montgomery County Federation
of Women's Clubs at Poolesville, Md.
Mrs. George Chandler, of Linden,
president of the county federation,
brought out the value of women's clubs
through the fact that when the govern
ment called for help in the war the
women of the country through their or
ganizations were in position to offer
assistance wtihout delay. Through the
hundreds of women's organizations di
rect channels for national service were
n Horded for government aid on the one
hand and for the unorganized woman
10 work through on the other. The
nation-wide affiliation of women with
the womens committee of the council
of national defense and the Red Cross
was one of the greatest proofs, she
said, of the co-operative power of
women...
In Governor Harrington's address on
""Reconstruction," he outlined some of
the existing evils confronting the coun
try intemperance, insanity, poverty
and inspired the women to greater co
operation in fighting them, and in striv
i us: for high standards of social hy
iene. He urged a closer co-partnership
between capital and labor, be
t ween employr and employe, and praised
the work of the department of labor in
1 his connection, speaking also of its
work for children, in the weighing- and
mcasurine tests of children carried on
by the children's bureau of the depart
ment of labor and the council of na
tional defense.
Speaking on Rducation.M Mrs. Eu
gene E. Stevens, of Chevy Chase, spoke
of the importance of the Back-to-
school drive"' of the child ren's bu reau. i
Cnited States department of labor, and i
told of plans that some sections had J
suggested toward this end.
Dr. A. F. Wood, president of the
Maryland state college, spoke on the
need of raising school teachers' sal
aries. The average monthly pay of a
common laborer, he stated, was about
J 116, while the average pay of a first
ura.de teacher was ?tJ5.
The value of education in farming
was given. A boy who stopped his
schooling at the grammar school grade
was capable of earning not above $300
li is first agricultural year. One who
graduated from high school earned
his first year. From one to four
ears of college education brought up
his earning power to $S00 the first year,
while special agricultural training
would training would enable him to
earn at least $900 the first year,
hioheeiceo joymZdoipkum mfw mf cm
Dr. Wood claimed that each year of
cd ueation for a ch i Id meant an actual
cash investment of at least $2000 at
per cent interest toward his later use
fulness. The value of education was
further revealed through the success
of the training service of the Vnited
States department of labor. Unskilled
workers, said Dr. Wood, who had pre
viously earned only $10 a week, by
means of the shoptraining installed by
co-operation with the department of
labor quickly advanced to $13 a week
and higher.
Reports of the training service of
the department of labor showed these
figures to be conservative, instances
being given where six months training
had doubled men's salaries, and in
some cases trebled. This meant closer
co-operation, the speaker said, between
employer and employe, the improve
ment of both in the increased produc
tive power and increased earning
power being mutually beneficial.
ALASKA DOG'S PARADISE
legislature Refuses to Authorize
Killing of Wild Ones.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska. Ever since
the time that the first white men
began combing the gravels of Alaska
streams for the yellow dust that spells
fortune, dogs the Alaska malaraute
and husky have been his main reli
ance. They have furnished the white
man's principal mode of travel, have
proved his invaluable friend on many
an occasion where life or death hung
in the balance and the recent terri
torial legislature proved the depth of
the sentiment felt . toward the dog
when it refused to pass legislation
perroittingr war on "wild" dogs.
There were petitions for this legis
lation from several sections of the
territory. In Anchorage, at least, a
private war on "wild" dogs meaning
the animals who have been turned
loose by their owners in the spring to
forage their own living hat been
waged relentlessly. Poisoned meat has
killed up to this time more than 30
of the animals to whom living with
out care of an owner means a constant
fight for the survival of the fittest.
The war has proved decidedly un
popular, for no matter if garbage cans
are upturned by the hungry animals
in quest of food, the sentiment con
nected with the Alaska dog is deep in
the heart of most northerners. On the
other hand, there is no law in unin
corporated towns of the territory which
permits of the licensing or impound
ing of stray dogs. Once a pound was
established here, but owners of dogs
taken there demanded their animals
back without payment of subsistence
charge of penalty and they won. The
pound died.
Finally came the attempt to make
the legislature deal with the situation.
In the meantime the self-appointed
committee one person, the authorities
believe began the work of exterminat
ing the stray dogs of Anchdrage. The
Anchorage authorities are seeking that
person's identity. The legislature has
remained true to the dog.
CAPITAL MEETING LABOR
INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY PliAX
TRIED IX SILK MILL.
Eliminatoin of Wasteful Methods
and Stimulation of Worker's
Interest Declared Results.
NEW TORK. Sitting before a pile
of letters from manufacturers all over
the United States, hundreds of them,
all asking him for information as to
the success of the "industrial de
mocracy" plan in operation in his silk
mill in Paterson, N. J., B. Edmund
David explainted in his office here to
day the advantage of the system and
the difficulties of installing it in the
average factory. "
"There is no doubt," said Mr. David,
"that the plan, which is based upon
the idea if constitutional government,
creates a better basis of understanding
between management and worker than
is possible under the old system.
It is the means if settling every
question of wages, hours, and working
conditions that may arise and, though
the constant, close, personal contact
between employer and employee, fa
cilitates such settlement to a con
siderable degree. It tends to the
elimination of wasteful methods and
minimizes friction. It stimulates the
worker's interest in his work and, best
of all, it puts the hum touch into the
relation between employer and em
ployee, the one thing more essential to
industrial peace than all others com
bined. "I have never known of an industrial
subject that appeals to popular imag
ination so much as this does. This
idea will spread because every man
ufacturer who is aljve to the times is
looking for-some system that will ease
up a situation that has rapidly been
growing from bad to worse, the re
lation between capital and labor. But
let no one think the plan is easy or
that it is one-sided. It is purely a
give and take and a 'live and let live'
idea.
"Jf a manufacturer goes into it ex
pect ing to make it pay 'financially;
or if he expects immediate returns he
will be disappointed. Such an attitude
would foredoom him to failure. We
have discovered that it is a slow pro
cess, of education for both sides man
agers and workers.
"Tact, diplomacy, ingenuity and a
desire to see absolute justice done are
requisites for the success of 'democracy
in industry. Problems are constantly
arising that require gentle handling,
chiefly because of misunderstanding.
The system's great value lies in its
aid in clearing away misunderstand
ings. It virtually uncovers all of the
elements that make for. possible dis
satisfaction and thus becomes a kind
of 'safety value so that, instead of
workers nursing grudges or grievances
they come to the lighe to be remedied
or removed.
4It is an expensive undertaking if
one merely regards it from the stand
point of dollars and cents. It means
that the firm adopting it is bound to
pay the top notch wages for that in
dustry. It means you must employ a
superintendent of personnel and that
the aspirations and desires of your
workers must receive as constant at
tention as the production of your plant.
Meetings of workers, on the company's
time, cost money, too. The workers
in my Paterson mill are now the most
contented lot I ever had.
"The government of the mill, as now
in operation, is practically along the
lines of the government of the United
States and rests with three bodies
chosen by the company executives, the
forman and the workers and known
as the cabinet, the senate and the
house of representatives," continued
Mr. David.
"Two strong features of the system
are a very active committee called the
committee on sugestions, appointed by
the house, and a board of appeals. The
latter was formulated under a resolu
tion which provides that complaints
and hatters of dispute shall be re
ferred to the board of appeals, com
posed of the presidents and five other
members of the senate and house. If
the decision if unsatisfactory to either
side appeal may be taken to the
cabinet which consists of the executive
oficers of the company.
'Prizes are offered for suggestions
for the betterment of the service or
benefit of the workers or the company
and ten to 2i suggestions are re
ceived weekly. Fifty per cent of them
mocracy is utilizing the brains of the
receive awards. Thus industrial de
employe."
Mr. David expressed the hope that, if
it were conclusively proved that the
plan is feasible, its adoption should
be promoted by congressional or gov
ernment recognition.

PORTLAND GETS SHRINERS

today, for your own protection, vote

We have done our darndest to pet

SHRINERS FOREHANDED FOLK
Motel Reservations for 192 0 Meeting
Already Beinjr Made.
Fifteen minutes after the Associated
Press had carried the news that Port
land is to have the next Shrine conven
tion, Mark "Woodruff, secretary of the
campaign committee, which waged the
Portland campaign, received this tele
gram :
"Reserve 75 rooms for Hella temple,
Dallas. Tex. This is first request. Be
sure and hold.
"HUGH J. BOYD.
P They're forehanded folks, those
Shriners!
In a few minutes Shriners began to
call up. literally screaming and yelling
when Woodruff assured them that the
news was authentic, as a result of a
confirmatory telegram from Potentate
W. J. Hofmann.
Especially marked were the congratu
lations to Mr. Woodruff, who has worked
night and day for four months to get
the convention to Portland and to
whose efforts Portland Shriners pay
tribute of praise.
The 30 minutes in which was settled
the destiny of the 1920 gathering, at
which 65,000 Shriners will make the
journey over the hot sands to Portland,

was the finale of four years of hard
work.
It. was four years Ago that Seattle
entertained the Shriners. About 10,000
of them stopped off In Portland en
route and so genuine was the hospi
tality accorded them that many of the
delegates found it difficult to realize
that Portland then was not the conven
tion city.
At the first meeting after the notable
Seattle convention. Noble Hofmann sug
gested the appointment of a committee
to begin a campaign to land the 1920
session.
In following out its campaign, Port
land has sent year after year the same
delegates to the imperial council, their
mission being to spread the word that
Portland in due time would ask for the
council.
Before Portland could even ask for
the Shrine convention, there had to be
presented to the imperial divan a guar
antee of $100,000 to defray expenses.
This guarantee, Emery Olmstead, pres
ident of the Northwestern National
bank, personally presented under the
seal of the bank. After a spectacular
campaign in Portland. $40,000 was
raised by members of Al Kader temple
and $60,000 by representative citizens.
Now the Shriners plan to increase the
fund to 1 150,000 so that the convention
may be a memory in years to come.
Because it will be at the Portland
session that Kreeland Kendrick, the
new imperial potentate, will preside,
Shriners have no doubt that Kendrick
will mark the Portland convention with
even greater spectacular effects than
have marked his gradual rise to the
highest offer than Shrinedom can make.
They recall the horse, every hair of
which was gilded, and the wonderful
solid gold armor he wore, on which
he rode into the convention hall two
years ago. They expect that he alone
will spend $25,000 to make his reign
as imperial potentate as gorgeous as
an Arabian night.
Great strings of camels and elephants
will be on Portland's streets and the
entire downtown section will become
an Oriental city. The paradas will
exhibit a magnificence such as never
before has been seen. If the Imperial
council is not held at the same time as
the Rose Festival, the principal festi
val parade will be reproduced for the
65,000 visiting Shriners.
Every temple in North America that
has a band and patrol will send them
and dozens of temples will organize
patrols for the purpose.
In the winning of the campaign the
Portland delegation distributed 16,000
rosebuds, sent to Indianapolis in ice.
Thousands of delegates were enter
tained with loganberry- juice. Hundreds
of thousands of pieces of literature
were presented and every member of
the Shrine had mailed to him before
the gathering some description of what
Portland had to offer.
When the gathering opened the Port
landers believed they had already
pledged a majority of the - delegates,
but it was on the floor of the conven
tion that Portland won out.
There are 145 temples, with from
three to six voting delegates, which
will be represented in Portland. Some
idea of the throng to be expected may
be gathered from the fact that Imperial

and, it is asserted, he was strictly neu

anything that has ever been done in
Portland in the line of magnificence
and hospitality.

U. S. RECOGNIZES WOMEN
Nation Appreciative of War Work
or Gentler Sex.
WASHINGTON. The distinguished
service medal, which was presented by
Secretary of War Baker to Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw in Washington on Mon
day, May 19, marked the appreciation
not only of Dr. Shaw's personal serv
ices and recognition of the work of the
women's committee of the council of
national defense, but was also indica
tive of the meritorious services ren
dered the nation- by the women of the
country during the war.
Dr. Shaw was chairman of the
women's committee of the council of
national defense throughout the war.
This work was originally carried on
through 48 state divisions and subdi
vided into 18,000 local units. About
a year ago the machinery of the
women's committee, which directed
women's activities in the states, was
amalgamated with the state councils
section to form the present field divi
sion of the council.
. The field division was that part of
the Council of Xatlonal Defense which
co-operated with-the children's bureau
of the Department of Labor in its chil
dren's year of its "back-to-school" and
other child welfare activities, as re
ported at the ecent child welfare con

Dr. Shaw commented on the coin

the distinguished serivco medal upon
May 20 the opeing day of the 66th
Congress, which has pledged Itself to
pass the Federal suffrage amendment,
for wh'ch she has worked for many
