U. S. TO .ANNOUNCE FINANCIAL POLICY Reserve Bank Governors Meet Following Farm Aid Plea. WASHINGTON. Oct. 15—A new statement of the Government’s financial policy la expected from the Federal Reserve Board late today, following the demand of various groups of farmers al ® Producers for further extensions of < rWlt by banks. Governors of Federal Reserve Banks were in conference with members of the reserve bank, in a final session, with of the Treasury Houston and i’ontroller of Currency Williams attending as ex-officio members of the board. The farmers, having completed their summing up arguments and presented therm formally to that board, were anxiously waiting the decision, but by no means hopeful that their urgent pleas will be granted. Although no intimation has come from the board of what steps it may take to further ease the credit situation for the producing elements, the feelinc win strong that the board will not make a radical departure from its established policy. Nor is it expected that the board will foal Justified in going so far as to indicate to member banks of the Federal Reserve Board that the commercial paper of agricultural interests be given preference over paper of so-called essential industries. The attitude of Governor Harding of Jthe board and Secretary of Treasury U - -ii; t'-wnrd the various bodies appearing before them in eleventh honr appeals for aid, was believed to indicate that the Federal Reserve Board will decide that its functions, limited by law, would render it impossible to set up certain banking privileges for an agricultural class, as distinguished from

Woman’s Place, Gained in War, Safe
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. The American woman has retained the high status in industry she won during the war. The woman machinist is still on the Job and In triumphant numbers; the feminist invader of the other skilled trades closed to women before the war^ continues to invade them aud to tAke good in a manner to give the men gloomy thoughts of the future because the feminists crying for more rights and threatening to raise a fuss if they don’t get them. The readjustments after the signing of the armistice caused no larger proportion of women to drop out of industry than in the case of the men. These facts were revealed today by Miss Mary Obenauer, expert on woman labor, who gave valuable aid to the government during the war, and are borne out by the survey of the national war work council of the Young Women's Christian Associa tion to be made public shortly through the United States Department of Labor. This survey, the most thorough of

These higher officials expressed themselves in sympathy with the alms or the laruiers,- but have expressed themselves as powerless, under the law, to exceed certain limits.

Os the 2,500,000 persons employed in these factories, 500,000 are women. Statistics furnished by the International Machinists’ Union, which admitted women to membership, durl.ig ihe war on a basis of full equality, show that a few more than 1.000 have dropped out of the organlzn tion since the armistice. It still has nearly 12,000 women machinists on its rolls. They represent only the organized women in the trade and, according to surveys, only a small proportion of the women machinists still on the Job. “The outstanding fact disclosed by all the surveys is that the American woman has not lost the high status in the skilled trades which she won during the war,” said Miss Obenauer. “In other words, she has made good on the man's Job.”
