CHANGE URGED IN SYSTEM OF CIVIL SERVICE

'Equal Pay for Women Em- , ployes Asked by Federal Civilian Employes. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Sept. 3. Drastic changes in the civil service system to benefit Federal civilian employes are under consideration by the Federal Salary Classification Commission, Edjward Keating, Secretary of the commission and former Representative from Colorado, today told the conven- ! tlon of the National Federation of 1 Postal Employes assembled here. "Women who do the same work as imen should receive the same pay as men," Mr. Keating said. "We believe in a system of promotion which will lead from the lowest end of the ladder to the highest. "We also are convinced that civil service employes should not be placed at the mercy of any bureaucratic tyrant, no matter what his position might be. The civilian employe is entitled to a fair hearing before a Impartial court, if he has grievances." Representatives James O'Connor, of Loulsanna, warned the postal employes against striking "unless it is a last resort,' 'and said that the way to win recognition is by the power of the federation at the polls. "Don't form a third party," he declared, "It would be foolish and would be weakening to your cause. Confine your political activities to the two existing parties and support the one that gives you the kind of legislation you demand." Dublin, Ind.

Keep Up Good Work," Is W ester's Parting Advice "Keep up the good work, was the advice left by F. W. Wesler, city garden supervisor, who terminated his work here Sept. 1. Wesler said be planned to go to the west coast to farm. Wesler estimates that his work here was the cause of many thousands of dollars saving to Richmond householders, and he says that if he had been engaged sooner, the work he could hare done would have been of much greater value. He urges all city amateur gardeners to start early next spring, and to have their fall plowing done in the fall, if possible. BREACH WIDENS IN . SOCIALIST PARTY (Bv Associated Press) CHICAGO, Sept. 3 The breach between the conservative and radical elements of the national Socialist party in session here was said to be wider today than at any time since the "left wing" and the "right wing" factions departed from the parent organization to form organizations of their own. The two "wings" are com posed of the radical elements. "The left wing" faction is composed almost wholly of the foreign language radical socialists and their leaders stated today that there was likelihood of their uniting with the "right-wing" element. The latter has organized Into the communist party, following a heated discussion over the name that should be bestowed upon the newborn. The insistence 01 H. Tichenor of St. Louis finally prevailed in the selection of a name. "There are 57 varieties of socialism and perhaps more than that," he said "but there is only one kind of Bolshevism and the world is having a hard time to stomach that. Communism knows no race, nation, breed or creed. We've got to get the word 'communism' in the name some place." The meeting of communists was thrown into a commotion when detectives arrested Dennis E. Batt, reputed to be an organizer for the I. W. W., and took him from the hall. They had been searching for him for a week on a charge of making a seditious speech. The offense, it was stated, comes under a new state law known as "house bill No. 300," operative since June 1, which is worded to take the place of the espionage act. Batt was released last night on $1,000 bond for appearance today. ECONOMY CAMPAIGN PUSHED IN ENGLAND (By Associated Press) LONDON, Tuesday, Sept. 2. The campaign for administrative economy is gaining momentum daily. Andrew Bonar- Law, government leader in the House of Commons and J. Austen Chamberlain, Chancellor of the Excheauer, came to London today es pecially to hold a meeting of the cab inet which included Earl Curzon, president of the council and government leader in the House of Lords and George Nicoll Barnes, minister without portfolio. It is understood that the discussion was centered around national finance, being particularly devoted to the question of how far it would be possible to reduce estimates for the defensive services. There is much talk of a possibility that Mr. Chamberlain may present a new interim budget, but this is considered quite improbable. Answering press attacks upon Mr. Bonar Law, Premier Lloyd George has sent a message to newspapers here declaring it would be grossly unfair to attributet continued war expenditures to any particular member of the government. The demand of Baron Fisher of Kilverstone, former first ' sea lord, for the virtual scrapping of the Navy, half of which is already obsolete, on the ground that a big navy . is not required now that Germany has been defeated, has been printed in all the newspapers and has caused a great sensation. Naval experts who have been consulted consider that Baron Fisher's proposal is much to drastic and fears are expressed that there is immient a great fight between the advocates of a small and a big navy. Sir Percy, Scott, who as Rear Admiral, was formerly in command of the First crusier squadron, considers that the larger battleships is doomed and that money devoted to building these ships could be better employed In other ways. He does not however, agree with all of Baron Fisher's conclusions. Webster, Ind. Mr. and Mrs. Newton Brumfield, Mrs. Belle Willis, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Plankenhorn, Charles Plankenhorn, Miss Ida and Mrs. Naomi Plankenhorn, Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Plankenhorn and daughter Ruth, attended the funeral of Mrs. Noah Plankenhurn, Sunday.

WOMEN TO GO CLAD IN FURS, STYLE-MAKERS PREDICT; SKIRTS WILL STILL BE NARROW

Charming designs, but high prices, are going to be the feature of women's dress this season, according to Richmond shopowners who specialize in these garments. Wonderful short length fur coats are on display and which are to be immensely popular all fall and winter. Fur or plush, dark and light mixtures, all will add to the medley of fur clothed women. A fur coat this year generally combines at least two kinds of fur and sometimes more. Preferably these furs are of contrasting shades. Hudson seal, links, fox, marten mink, wolf, rackoon, and a long line of the old standard furs are offered. Capes are very good again, and scarfs with deep pockets will again serve in the place of muffs. Capes trimmed in fur tails are good. Woo! Coats Also Here. And wool coats! They are roomy and snug; soft and wooly, and all lined with handsome French lining of satins. Sometimes the lining are a solid color: sometimes they are changeable silk and again they are in the most bewildering flower or conventional designs, and vivid in coloring. Chameleon cord, silver tone, varilla, yalma, and velbarre velour are among the best wool coat materials. Skirts Still Narrow. Suit skirts remain narrow. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson i3 said to have purchased some long and fairly broad skirted gowns and suits in Paris, but it seems unlikely that the style is coming soon to America. All the skirts in the middle west, and according to buyers, in the east, are yet clinging and narrow. Necks are often high with upstanding collars. Many suits are belted and pockets have some popularity. Pouire twill is one of the most popular suit materials, while velvet, tricolin, all sorts of serges and vurilla cioth are very good. Dark blues, and browns, with an occasional kangaroo and reindeer shade, form the color scheme chart. College Styles Pleasing. A particularly pleasing combina tion is French serge and georgette, with dainty beeding. One gown made of this material combination had clusters of lavendar grapes beaded here and there. It was one of the most attractive on display. Beading for al most every gown, except the very se vere tailored business dresses, is good. Jet and gold are still good and an attractive gown has the finest design edged in gold thread. Up and down the back and along the side panels the design wove itself. Reindeer, and bark shades with all the old standby colors are here in the fall and winter gowns. They appear in silks, tricolet, satin, taffeta, jersey, panama cloth, serge and once in a while georgette, whose popularity is gradually waning after several sea sons of unusual success. Particularly popular is lace, which is often black and very often used with satin. A Lit of an ornament, or "dangle" is aften used. Gowns Are Sleeveless Evening gowns are sleeveless for the most part, and many are of changeable silk. Feathers are to be used considerably for trimming and silk fringe, especially ruffles of very narrow fringe, is good. Some high backs will be seen, and the back panel will still remain, but on the whole, neck Labor Committee Report is Repudiated oy Chief (The London Mail.) NEW YORK. Sept. 3. James P. Holland, president of the New York State Federation of Labor, in a statement issued late last night, repudiated the report of the high cost of living committee appointed by him which recommended that labor refrain from participating in strikes for six months as a means of combating industrial unrest and lowering the cost of living. Asserting that the committee had overstepped its powers in making the recommendation, Mr. Holland said he would discharge both members, John F. Pierce and Isadore Epstein. The two committeemen have been expelled from the garment cutter's union, according to a union official, for acting in a manner "detrimental to the inter-' ests of the organ'jttion." J

depths will be nearly even for front and back. Some backless gowns will appear at the opera and very fashionable affairs, but as yet this season Richmond is remaining aloof. When extremely low many of the gowns will be supplemented by many jewels, which it is said, are to be heavily worn. Back ornaments will be used with some of the more decollete gowns. Waists are smock effect in a good many cases, and are still subjected to heavy bead effects. Apron tails In front will still be used for georgette and silk. High necks and low, and not many collars if low, are elite, the saleswomen say. Shoes will be fairly high in grey, brown, reindeer, sage, dove, seal, black, patent leather and suede of all colors. They are very attractive. Chances Dwindling for Talk Here by President f.,,0 . . - r,! vi-ii Chance for a stop of President vVil - r. ; diuj rp , ,. n in Richmond Thursday afternoon son f?0 is seemed to be dwindling Wednesday, Neither Postmaster C B. Beck, who has written Secretary Joseph P. Tunulty, or Joshua Allen, local attorney, who is in communication with the state democratic headquarters, had received an answer late Wednesday. The dispatches say that the president is devoting little or no time in towns where he is not scheduled to speak, but is spending the time between stops preparing for his next address. However, his train will pass through between 4 and 5 o'clock Thursday. County Council Adjourns Until September 16 Following a ruing made, Tuesday by Attorney-General Eli Stansbury, members of the county council adjourned their regular meeting until September 16, at which time the county's tax levy will be made. Under the old state law, it was necessary for the council to meet "from day to day" until all business was completed, but owing to the delay In preparing the county's valuation, this was found to be very Impractible, so the advice of the attorney-general was sought. The council was informed that they could adjourn until a definite date, without the necessity of meeting every day, so September 16, was fixed for the next meeting. There were in the United States service during the war 63,000 Johnsons 51,000 Smiths, 18,500 Walkers and 47,000 Williamses. New Fall Dresses
