Last Monday the Girl Reserves had their final picnic at Budd Park. Parents and friends were invited. A most delightful day was spent by those who were present. A peanut race and many games afforded much amusement during the day. Through the kindness of Dr. Lambrecht and Mrs Jackson, the girls had plenty of ice water and ice cream. A new schedule for the Girl Reserve Meetings is necessitated on account of the opening of school. As soon as it is completed ed it will be published.

NEGRO DOCTOR SHOT BY WIFE. A. P. Davis, 'Kansas Side, Wounded While on Visit. Dr. A. P. Davis, living at 1018 Freeman Street, Kansas side, was shot and dangerously wounded by his wife Monday night at the home of Mrs. S. H. Hill, 631 Garfield Avenue, Kansas side, where he had gone ostensibly for the purpose of making a professional call. Davis and his wife are said not to have been on good terms recently. He was taken to St. Margaret's Hospital, where his condition was pronounced dangerous. Mrs. Davis later surrendered to a deputy sheriff at the county jail. THEY PAID THEIR DEBTS. From the Indianapolis News. When Charles M. Schwab was returning from France he was on a boat carrying many negro soldiers and learned that many of them were without money. Mr. Schwab loaned $1 each to 154 of the negro soldiers and told them they need not pay it back unless they wanted to. He supposed very few of them would return the loan, and is agreeably surprised be cause 138 of the 154 soldiers have sent him a dollar each. TO BAR THOSE WITH DISEASE.

OSBORNE BEING LAVISHLY ENTERTAINED. Mrs. W. T. Osborne, wife of the erudite pastor of Ebenezer, who has been for two weeks the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Woods and Miss Ida Crews of Chicago, expresses herself as delighted with her stay in the Windy City and the many social affairs given in her honor. Aside from the hospitalities of her hostesses the most prominent citizens of Chicago have vied with each other to make her visit a continuous round of enjoyment. On Sunday last she was the dinner guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Lewis, a most sumptuous repast being served. The palatial home of Mrs. Audrey Slaughter Johnson was the scene of an elaborate reception given in honor of Mrs. Osborne, over a hundred guests being present and a program being rendered by the most talented artists of the city. Another affair of note was the reception given by Mr. and Mrs. Geo Hedge in their beautiful six flat apartment building. During the second week of her stay Mrs. Osborne was the guest of honor at a banquet given by Mrs. Bessie Bell in Casey Hall, a dainty menu being served and many professional artists appearing in recital. Mrs. Mattie Slaughter entertained for her with a box party, there being fifteen in the party, who attended the Avenue Theatre where the Lafayette Players, a Negro aggregation of exceptional merit are playing. The same hostess entertained the next evening in Mrs. Osborne's honor, having also as guests Misses Effie Burge and Helen McClain, teachers of Topeka. We are delighted to know that such royal entertainment is being accorded Mrs. Osborne as her tireless and commendable work has entitled her to the vacation which is being so pleasantly spent.

Badly LIBERIA IS A FAIR REPLY TO ALL WHO DENY THE NEGRO'S CAPACITY TO RULE HIMSELF. The Republic Has Run the Gauntlet of Much Ridicule and Sharp Criticism But Is Making Good. (Reprinted by request.) Modern civilization leaves its marks on all mankind who embraces it; it carries men into the frozen and almost lifeless North, seeking hidden treasures and undiscovered mysteries; it has carried him into the deadly swamps where the monstrous beasts and reptiles and fatal fevers are present everywhere; his bones are strewn all through the lifeless deserts, which is a glaring proof of his daring, and to these restless people who have traversed the entire globe we owe for our present civilization. "A race that will stay put," within the borders of their former owners, when given an opportunity to go back to their primitive land, where they can have unlimited freedom to enjoy a civilization on a par with the best governments of the world cannot claim to have reached that high mark of civilization which causes race to feel keenly the wants of their fellow race men, no matter how remote they may be, and to administer to their relief first—then to other races. Isn't this not quite natural? Can a people be justly censured for doing this? On the other hand, is it race pride for us to join in laughter when we are held up in literature and moving pictures for ridicule or something very humorous—never as a lady or gentleman. Yet we find many of our girls weeping over the trials of characters of a literature that only permits her to be a fussy, slip-shod servant. It is not a disgrace to be black in Liberia. Black people rule. A black lady or black gentleman are the highest standard of citizenship. If nature had slipped a cog somehow and produced a white race of people in the interior of Africa, like some of the stories we read, no matter how barbarous they might have been, they would have been civilized long ago. Race pride of the white Nations would have done it. Where is the American Negro's race pride? Does he confuse self pride with race pride, or is it just lip service? As this is stricty a race article, we invite the Negro press to copy, as a duty we owe to the Republic of Liberia and to the noble men of both races who have given up their lives and money to establish a place for the American black man. "THE SPIRIT OF DOUGLASS." is a new and original play by Mr. Theo Drury which will be given at St. James Church, 1805 Woodland Ave., October 14th, 15th and 1½th. This play was written by one of the race, about the race and for the race. You can't afford to miss it. PRICE, 5c. By Rucker Smith. (Reprinted by request.) From Our Foreign Correspondents Page Two.

Amidst the oak in the forest there stood one in high day of its foliage, where creatures gathered under its branches to revive their weary spirits. Sometimes from the storm of adversity to be sheltered from its dangers. Alas it has fallen, suddenly this virile oak it withers, dies, rapid transition it seems to us, but the inevitable of life is couched in eventualities, whose destiny is death and each itinerant shall to that depot arrive—somewhere, sometime and somehow. In the passing of our Presiding Elder Albert Gilbert it only tells us of the instiableness of the sea and elements and forces unseen. The Su preme called him and as such pleased Him to take from us our gifted, talented and energetic brother; we pray submissively, "Thy Kingdom come," we acknowledge humbly "Thy Will Thou Hast Done." For he that careth for the sparrow moveth every wind that blows and tempers them to the shorn lamb cannot but comfort those who trust Him. We loved him and he loved us and we will miss him. Resolved: That we mourn the loss of a true friend, a noble Christian and an able and forcible speaker. Always interested in the higher motives of society and the uplifting of his race. Resolved: That we the members of Ward Chapel feel his loss and hereby express deeply our appreciation of his worth and our sorrow of the untimely close of a successful career. Be it further. Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family and to the press for publication. Ward Chapel Rev. J. F. Sage, Pastor Mrs. Laura Jackson, Mrs. Lucy Hadley. Mrs. Percy Webb.

On the whole, this activity of the Negro on his own behalf is something to be welcomed. He has been often told that his salvation depends upon himself, and his agitation in defense of his rights can hardly fail to bring out into the free light of public discussion a subject which has often been avoided yet must eventually be dealt with.—The Christian Science Monitor, Boston, Mass.

LESSON TEXTS—Psalms 19:7-14; II Timothy 3:14-17. GOLDEN TEXT—Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. —Psalm 119:106. MATERIAL—Psalm 119:10 Matt. 4:11; Luke 4:16-22; John 5:38-47. PRIMARY TOPIC—The best book in the world. JUNIOR TOPIC-What the Bible contains. NORMERMIDATE TOPIC-The authority of the Bible. SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC-The inspiration of the Bible. 1. The Characteristics of the Word of God (Psalm 19:7-11). 1. The law of the Lord is perfect (v. 7). The law here means the fundamental principles which God as a moral being reveals to the consciences of men as binding upon the soul. These principles are free from all omissions and redundancies, perfect as a moral code. It perfectly accomplishes its design, namely, the converting of the soul. The effect of the law of God is to turn men to God himself, to righteousness and holiness. 2. The testimony of the Lord (v. 7). By testimony is meant the witness which God bears as to his attributes and against man's sins. This testimony is plain and infallible. Those who receive it are made wise. Those who with open and teachable minds receive God's testimony are wiser than the greatest intellectuals of the earth. 3. The statutes of the Lord are right (v. 8). His statutes are the principles given to us to fit us for the different relationships of life. These are just and equitable, because they are from the righteous God. They rejoice the heart, because the true heart rejoices in justice and equity. 4. The commandment of the Lord (v. 8). This brings into view the personal God who stands back of His law to enforce its demands. This commandment is free from error and deceit, and it enlightens the eyes. The effect of God's law is to give man ability, not only to understand his love and salvation, but to be wise as to the things about him. 5. The fear of the Lord is clean (v. 9). The reading of the Word of God produces reverential fear in the heart of the reader. Those who have this godly fear have their hearts cleansed from sin. The life and relationship founded upon this fear abide forever. Reid Land 1228 Open Sat., 8:30 a.m. Sat. and M. GROC Granulated Sugar, lb. Powdered Sugar, lb.

Countee is tent to render any service him? PHONES 6. The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous (vv. 9-11). By judgments is meant the sentences pronounced by God's Word. These penalties are absolutely true and righteous; they are conformable to the intuitive moral sense of man. These judgments serve as warnings; they prevent man's shipwreck upon life's sea and bring just return to those who obey. U. A Prayer to God (v. 12:14). 1. For cleansing from secret faults (v. 12). Those who reverently study the Word of God realize in themselves the presence of hidden faults from which they need cleansing, and they cry out to God for this cleansing. 2. Kept back from presumptuous sins (v. 13). 3. The sins which result from proud defiance of God's laws need to be eradicated by God's special grace and help. 4. Words acceptable with God (v. 14). 5. The godly man is concerned with even his words and desires them to be under God's control. 4. Meditation of the heart (v. 14). III. The Inspiration of the Holy Scriptures (II Tim. 3:14-17). Inspiration means God-breated. By the scriptures is meant the Old Testament. If Paul's testimony be accepted, then the whole Old Testament is God-breated, regardless of what the skeptical critics say. Because they are God-breated they are profitable for— 1. Doctrine, that is, teaching. 5. Thorough equipment of the mann of God for his work. Love Endureth All Things Love beareth all things, believeth all things, endureth all things. People we love sometimes disappoint us. They do things we never dreamed they could do. If we love them, we shall not abandon them because they have faults. We shall just believe that one day they will put away their faults, cease to do evil, and learn to do well. Love never despairs of anyone. Love never falleth. Of One Religion. All humble, meek, merciful, just, plons, and devout souls are everywhere of one religion, and when death has taken off the mask they will know one another, though the divers liveries they wear make them strangers.—Penn. When to Begin Kind Acts. A more glorious victory cannot be gained over another man than this, that when the injury began on his part, the kindness should begin on ours.— Tillotson.

At the annual meeting of the Wilmington (Del.) Employers' association, C. D. Garretson, president, said that he believed a reduction in wages of employees at this time would be a great mistake, claiming more attention should be given to the reduction of unit costs by making labor more efficient. He said the drones and shiftless workmen must be eliminated that we may have our business structure on an economical, sound basis to go ahead in the future. J. Philip Bird, general manager of the National Manufacturers' association of America, urged the co-operation of employee and employer, citing the instance in his own state, New Jersey, where the two work hand in hand and where every labor bill before being presented to the state legislature is acted upon by a joint conference of employers and employees. The bills thus presented have always passed unanimously. The speaker stated this is the only method to be pursued to avoid conflicts between the employer and employee. STAND OF ORGANIZED LABOR Spokesman of Illinois State Federation Announces Its Opposition to Any Wage Reduction. John H. Walker of the Illinois State Federation of Labor issued this statement as to the attitude of labor regarding wage reductions: "Organized labor will oppose vigorously any attempt to reduce wages, whether by public utility corporations or by private enterprise. "For years the workers were denied what they considered a fair share of the fruits of their industry. Due to the greatly increased cost of living in war times, wages in most instances were increased. "The higher wages thus procured must be maintained and employers should adjust their business accordingly. "I do not know whether rates charged by public utility companies are adequate, but if found inadequate after investigation rates should be 'increased sufficiently to guarantee against wage reductions.'" PREDICTS SHORTAGE OF LABOR IN NEAR FUTURE A shortage of labor within the next few months is expected by Dr. R. L. Prentis, district superintendent of the United States employment service. "The general revival going on in the industries indicates there is going to be a big demand for labor," said Dr. Prentis, "It seems to me it will be necessary to make more general use of colored labor in the near future." 10 Build Homes for Workmen. Employees of the Standard Oil Company in Elizabeth, N. J., are to have an opportunity to own their own homes, according to a statement sent to the United States department of labor. After a conference between a committee of the company and a committee of employees an option was obtained on a tract of land of thirty-five acres, easily accessible by trolley. Plans were then drawn for several types of houses, the cost of each being $3,000 and upward, and the property was procured. These houses are to be sold to employees on a monthly payment basis, the property to be managed jointly by a committee of the company and a committee of employees, which will finance the project on a 5 per cent return for the capital, no profit being sought. Work will be begun at an early date. Year-Round Employment Paid. During the period of wartime migration of negroes to the northern states those southern plantation owners who provided year-round employment for their tenants lost very few men, comparatively, according to one of the reports published in a bulletin on "Negro Migration in 1916-17," issued by the department of labor. As soon as the labor demand in the North began to attract workmen the more progressive employers began devising plans for holding their labor. They set about improving their farms, buildings, fences, and introducing drainage systems, in order to keep the men at work. As a result they suffered much less than other employers in the same localities. An Memoriam.

We asked at our house for a menu that would make for plain living and clear thinking, and they gave us an alligator pear salad with pomegranate seeds and Thousand island dressing.—Grand Rapids Press. The Other Side. If you want to make yourself solid with other folks don't stop to tell them what wonderful things you have done, but just say, "You fellows have the world beaten for big things!" Happiness Easily Attained. Those of us who ever stop to reason or think along profitable lines know that there are "sermons in stones, books in running brooks, and good in everything" as the poet sings. We do not have to be either rich or famous to procure happiness. If we try to keep cheerful, forget our woes and "look pleasant," our narrow sphere will take on a broad and pleasing aspect. Furthermore, this view will make us see lots of good in the folks around us and many fine attractions in our home and old "home town." Ancient Gambling Games. Ancient Gambling games. It is known that from the earliest Roman times the games of tall and tessera were played with dice, but their invention has been attributed by the Grecian poets and sophists to Palmedes, who in 1244, B. C., joined the Greeks in their expedition against Troy, where, by some writers, Palmedes is said to have been slain by an arrow from the bow of Paris. In addition to the invention of dice, Palmedes is said to have invented lighthouses, measures, scales, the discus, the alphabet and the art of regulating sentinels. The Stormy Petrel. The birds known to sailors as Mother Carey's chickens, whose appearance is supposed to foretell a storm, are otherwise known by the term stormy petrel (Thalassidroma pelagica). The bird seems to run in a remarkable manner along the surface of the sea, where it picks up its food. The petrel is a small bird of dusky plumage, nocturnal in habit, most abundant in the southern hemisphere. The name Mother Carey is supposed to be a corruption of the "Mother Cara"—dear mother—of Levantine sailors. Mediators Asked For.

Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, of Chicago, just returned from France, remarked in an address at a banquet given in his honor at the Royal Gardens, Chicago; "France has great need for thousands of our young men of training and ability. I do not advise all to go, but many of you should go, and there you will not be hampered in the rise to success." And he continued: "There are also, hundreds of opportunities in South America and Mexico. I expect to shape up my business and go to South America." President-elect King of Liberia, tells us that there is need and opportunity of thousands and thousands in that fine little republic, and that is one of his missions in America, to get people of our group to embark for there. There are other colonies and nations calling for able-bodied men of our group to "come over into Macedonia and help us." Assurances of freedom and justice are given. Industrial leaders of the North are saying: "We cannot do without the Colored men; with thousands of foreigners going back to their native land, the Colored worker is our only resort." Numerous delegations from the South are touring the North, using every possible means and inducement to get the Negro workmen to return South, for lumber camp, cotton field, trades and general usefulness. The Employment Bureau of Richmond, Va., as well as man other southern communities, has sent out the S. O. S., for Negro help. It is plain to be seen that our group is the MOST IMPORTANT ECONOMIC FACTOR IN THE INDUSTRIAL WORLD TODAY. What is the answer to the invitations to leave America? Shall we go or stay? Is it better to bear these ills that we have, than to fly to those we know not of? We are put to the test, and the greatest care of judgment must be exercised. The destiny of unborn generations, as well as our immediate "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness," depends on the decisions now made. Whatever may be finally determined, will be for the purpose of having life, life more abundantly; the unhampered opportunity to grow to full manhood, and a feeling of security from the crowd and the mob. A VALIANT KNIGHT Last Saturday morning promptly at 10 o'clock the remains of another vaint Knight of the Gospel was borne into Allen Chapel followed by his relatives and ministerial brethren of the Missouri and Kansas Conferences and members of the Masonic Fraternity. The large congregation of resident and out-town friends was a silent but complimentary expression of their respect for the late Rev. Alexander Albert Gilbert. The opening hymn, the prayer, the Scripture lessons, the obituary by Dr. Wm. H. Thomas, the introductory remarks by Rev. Sage in presenting Rev. Brooks of Hannibal, Mo., with his brief and touching sermon from Hebrews 11:16. "They Desire a Better Country." All clearly emphasized the chivalry of the vaint Knight who knew how to strike against all that was low and mean as well as to give tender care to the suffering and oppressed. And the remarks by Reverends Terrell, Osborne Davis and President F. Jesse Peck, and the telegrams and condolences read by Rev. S. L. Brooks from Bishop Parks, ministers and friends—all proved how the love of the deceased for humanity in general was but the outside setting of a deeper love for his chosen friends. After the benediction by Rev. Dawson the funeral procession started for the cemetery where brief services were conducted by Dr. Barksdale and the Masonic brethren. Then bereaved relatives ministers and friends turned from the grave of a valiant knight with a sense of supreme loss sinking deeper into their hearts. May he rest in peace. "BUILD YE MORE——" "Build Ye More Stately Mansions. O My Soul." These are days of genuine construction for our group. In the midst of the world's greatest period of unrest, the Negroes of America are "forgetting those things which are behind" and are building everywhere materially, with the highest spiritual sense of duty and responsibility. The Pythian Temple in New Orleans, the St. Luke's Building in Richmond, the Poro College in St. Louis, the Whitelaw Apartment Hotel, Washington; the Brown and Stevens Dunbar Theater, Philadelphia; more than one dozen magnificent Y. M. C. A. buildings in various cities; hundreds of fine churches; hundreds of excellent smaller business blocks and thousands of modern beautiful homes, equipped to the last word in luxury, sanitation and comfort, these are the beacon lights of a new day and a new era. St. Louis with a great Department Store; Atlanta with a $500,000 hotel; Chicago with a million dollar Python building and wonderful prospective investments and constructive plans reported from every section of the country, involving amounts from $5,000 to more than $1,000,000, give forcible and impressive answer to the question: Are We Downhearted?

Mr. Bass is Grund Master of the Odd Fellows of California as well as a High official in the Legislature of that State. NEGRO INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION TO BE CREATED. Prof. J. Silas Harris of Missouri to be Chairman of Commission. A bill creating a Negro Industrial Commission has been introduced in Congress and is sure to be a law. The duties of the Commission will be to make a survey of race-conditions and report the same to Congress. It is very generally conceded that Prof. J. Silas Harris of Missouri is to be chairman of said commission. A salary of $6500 per annum is attached to the office. This will be the highest position ever given a Negro by the federal government. Harris is a man of wide experience and of high ability. His appointment will be very popular. The Negro National Educational Congress of which Prof. Harris is president is largely responsible for the favorable impression that this proposed measure has created. FOR SALE!

Experience has taught us that we are sure of losing the favor of the majority of school children when we look back over a well spent summer vacation and sing, “Hallelujah, ‘tis done.” And probably it was almost necessary for a few parents to lure their children to school last Tuesday morning—as of old the goddess lured the Grecian children forward by roll- ing rosy apples along the path, But the children today are wiser than the children of yesterday. The demands of childhood today are not so tran: sient, Our dutiful parents who sacri- fice much to keep them in school are aware of this fact, and our competent teachers who make unknown sacri- fices know what will interest and hold the child's mind, ‘They as well as the parents of the children are able to read their childish souls as the must- cian might a piece of music, ‘There- fore, by simply changing the key they induce the child to leap into his studies the first week of school and he enjoys them to the end of the scho- lastic term, ‘This alone makes the teachers’ work of tremendous im: portance. This, in turn makes the parents loyal to the teacher and the school of equal importance, And there fs no better way for the parents to show their race pride and loyalty than by keeping the children in school re- oe » 3 4 Pe 4 Gs ag Bis 4 eh “eZ or " aN oy ) Wars . ay ebaee ji sate Was Pte Sikes } pga Pe a a ae wer ng Zi ie : Pee a ce a fae see gS Rs ES ae ANNOUNCEMENT I take pleasure in announcing to my already large es- tablished class and many patrons that the CHAS.

Merry Freaks! aks! --- An effort is being made to help solve the race problem in the south amicably by aiding the colored people in buying up all or nearly all of the farming lands by whole counties and parishes wherever the whites will sell and permit them to enjoy the freedom they are legally entitled to. During the twenty years I spent in Natchez and Vidalia practicing and teaching law and civil government, northern capitalists deposited large sums of money in Brittons and Koontz bank at my disposal without security to buy lands for colored people, and I bought several thousand acres in Concordia Parish, La., for them for sale in small farms on long time. I have traveled extensively in the south investigating the race problem and talked and corresponded with many leaders of both races on the solution of the problem and I think the method advocated in the book will meet with approval. The book contains a historic sketch of the colored race from the advent of Ham in Africa down to date, which shows the greatness of the race in the past and its wonderful progress in the U. S. in the last fifty years, to aid in solving the problem. The opening of the new addition at 30th and Topping by Mr. H. B. Allen has created an era of home buying among the Colored people of this city that is unprecedented. Why should a man continue to pay rent all his life when by an initial payment of $25.00 or $50.00 he can come in possession of a home that will be his on the same terms and at no greater cost than he pays in rent. Become a home owner in this new addition and you will feel like a real citizen. The book contains an excellent letter from the President of Maharachy, on the success of the doctors of that school and fine write ups of presidents of our greatest colored colleges and letters from U. S. Senators and other prominent men and explains how to get money to buy plantations for sub division into farms, but as some assurance that the colored people in the south will cooperate, I have undertaken to gather 200 advance orders for the book, which is 12 Mo. of about 300 pages, cloth bound. The price of the book is $1.50, but it will be furnished to you and your friends at $1.15, on advance orders. Remit to the Burton Publishing Co. at 509 East 9th Street or to W. H. Payne, Atty, at Law, 121 West 6th Street, Kansas City, Mo., by express money order or by post office order; either of us will send you a receipt and the book as soon as out, Post paid. N. B. Books will be furnished at a big reduction to ministers for his congregation, who sends in an advance order. DAVIS TAXI CO. for hire Bell Phone East 2230 Day or Night. Express.

Such an opening is unprecedented in the history of the Institute. .....Captain William H. Walcott, who for ten years was Assistant Commandant under Major. J. B. Ramsey, and who has been Acting Commandant since Major Ramsey resigned, more than a year ago, to accept an important position in Washington, D. C., under the War Camp Community Service, has been appointed Commandant with the title of Major. Major Walcott is a graduate of Hampton Institute. .....Many of the old teachers who were engaged in Overseas work during the war period, have returned to their posts in the various departments on the grounds. This is also true of the young men students. With many old and new faces among the student body and faculty, there is a revival of the real school spirit which had to be abandoned during the war. The Rosenwald School building program continues to grow. An active campaign to complete a total of 1,000 Rosenwald Schools by Christmas is under way, and the Colored and white people throughout the South are co-operating as never before in this very important work. IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of Mrs. Christine Martin Robinson, niece of the late Mrs. N. B. Oxley, who passed away at Bell Memorial Hospital, September 7, 1917. In the grave softly gently sleeping.

Sadly missed by. Pvt. Arlington Martin, brother; Mrs. Jeanette M. Duncan, sister; Miss Alberta Martin, Sister. THE NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS OF AMERICA SUFFRAGE SESSION.

Penalty for Illegal Strike An order for payment of a penalty of $50 with costs was the substance of Mr. Justice Edmunds' decision in a reserved judgment under the industrial arbitration act of New South Wales, in connection with an illegal strike of certain members of the Union of Piano Frame Molders and Stove Makers' Employees. The union was ordered to pay $50, the maximum fine being $2,500. Mr. Justice Edmunds pointed out that while - the piecework molders were admittedly a very turbulent section the union officials, when they had failed to prevent an illegal strike, had taken no steps to condemn it nor to prevent their own officers from taking part in it. As the element of intentional wrongdoing, however, had not been made out he did not think that the case called for a severe penalty. France Will Raise Pay. The union of employees of the French post office, telegraph and telephone department heard the report of a delegation which demanded an increased wage of 100 per cent. The report showed the ministry has a bill prepared raising all wages in these departments 200 per cent up to 4,000 frames yearly. Women's wages should equal men's and the 200 per cent increase may be swelled 50 per cent if living cost continues to rise. Trade Union Meeting Arranged. Mr. W. A. Appleton, secretary of the British Federation of Trades Unions, has returned from Holland.
