WOMEN WORKERS WILL ORGANIZE FOR BETTER PAY Men's Pay for Women in Men's Positions Demanded at Meeting of Women.
Demands for men's wages for women who are taking men's positions during the war -were made at the mass meeting of working women at Vaughn's hall Monday evening. About
50 women were present. The meeting was called to present the benefits of organization to the women. I. U. Hart man and Lucius Harrison, local organizers, made an appeal . to the women to organize. Instances of the miserably low wages being paid women in Richmond were cited by the speakers. Taul Smith of the American Federation of Labor, who Is in Richmond to organize labor here, spoke on the benefits of organization. The number of women present he said showed that there is something vitally wrong in Richmond. "The United States concedes every man and woman the right to affiliate themselves with trade unions." Smith said. "If the workers of Richmond realized half the benefits of organization as the employers do every worker would have been a member of a trade union long before I came to Richmond. "The time is coming when every Industry will be operated by a system of co-operation between employer and employee, that is organization of the employer on the one hand and the orgaizatlon of the emyloye on the other. "Organization Is the Instrument by which men and women receive consideration from the United States. There is unrest or you would not be here. There will be a change In hours, scale of wages, and conditions of employment, but the change will not cmoe to you as an Individual but as an organization. "If you stop in a haphazard halfhearted way you can't expect very much, or If you join and lie dormant the organization will bring you nothing. You must be interested, and although it is hard to interest women, when once their interest is aroused the women's organization is fifty percent better than men's. In other communities women have organized and bettered their condition, and it is just as hard to make gloves, overalls, and shirts in Richbeen committed to women's suffrage American Federation of Labor has mond as it is any other place. The and it wants women to organize. The sooner women in Richmond organize the sooner the changes necessary for the betterment of their conditions will be brought about."

U.S. PRISONERS TREATED WELL,
HOLLANDER SAYS Americans in German Gimps Make no Complaint, Dutch : Writer States.
; THE HAGUE, Aug. 6. A Dutch cor
respondent of the Nleuwe Courant,
of this city, has written for his paper an account of a visit made in company
with an American correspond to Amer
ican . prisoners of war in camps in Darmstadt, Iimburg and Giessen. The number of American prisoners, he
says, in a letter dated July 24, at Cob-
lentz, is "not particularly large," In
any of these camps, and none of the
prisoners were officers. They were mostly nalional guardsmen, he reports
fine strapping fellows, he calls them
the majority of whom had ben cap
tured in early June near Chateau
Thierry, a few belonging to mixed de
tachments which had been stationed
not far from Verdun. Some had ar
rived in France as far back as last
November, while others had reached this side in February. The Americans, continues the correspondent, have not yet been educated up to the highest estate of prison
I life, contrasting with the French, who.
for instance, have quite brilliant orators to convey requests or complaints to the prison authorities. The Americans, however, he comments, may be envied for their weekly parcels from the Red Cross, containing peace-time luxuries, with everything of excellent quality. The bread they receive, he says, will shortly, for practical reasons, be given in the form of biscuits.

It should be understood by those not conversant with the sport of trapshooting. every entrant represents a personal contestant, who shoots a gun not to exceed 12 gauge, unlimited load of powder, shot restricted to 14 ounces. Over 100,000 shotgun devotees are "over there," fighting for a world-wide democracy. Continuous commendation greets their most efficient work; their ability and efficiency as expert shots has been recognized by their ranking officers placing them in charge of machine guns and batteries located at
important points. Knights of the scat-

SUGAR RULES FOR
MAIL ORDER HOUSES
, y Associated rre.i s WASHINGTON. Aug. 6. Mall order
houses which do an interstate busi

states onlv such amounts of sugar as

Mail order houses heretofore have
been taking orders for 25 pound quantities of sugar for home canning, regardless of the state from which they come or whether there Is a real need for sugar for canning In that state. In
some states out of regard lor rruu crop conditions or for other reasons, sales of canning sugar have ben restricted to 10 or 15 pounds at a single purchase. A resident of one of these states in ordering 25 pounds at a time from a mail order house, the food ad
ministration holds, is defeating the
purpose of the sugar regulations.

ed to "come over," which was so dis
astrous to the Boches that General Pershing personally complimented the skill of the "Shotgun Artists." At one point a most successful attack was mada by our boys in khaki, under a box barrage fire directed by men whose ability as gunners was acquired in trapshooting at home. Interest in trapshooting has so increased in the past year that a record attendance may be expected at the 1918 Grand American. Trapshooting is the patriotic sport of the day; every man, woman and boy should learn to shoot and hanle a gun. The Grand American Handicap in Chicago Aug. 5-9 is the logical place for ebservation and to acquire correct knowledge. The grounds are open free. Every person invited to attend.
