New York, Mar. 28. -JThe Knlg'hts
of Columbus has reorganised its relief
work and sent 300 more workers to
France to meet the new . condition
surrounding the men of the expe
ditionary forces after the armistice.
William J. Mulligan, Chairman, of the
2C. of C. War Activities Committee,
announced yesterday. He has Just re
turned after four months abroad.
All war relief agencies were con
fronted with the necessity of making
their work stronger when the excite
ment of hostilities had been taken
away, Mr. Mulligan explained. The
reaction needed to be met, by an in
crease in diversion and recreation.
The entire K. of C. work has been
reorganized into a system of zones.
Each zone has a supervisor and from
5l to 100 secretaries. More ttian
K. of C. men are with the Army of
Occupation. The total force abroad
numbers 1,000 men.
Mr. Mulligan opened fifty new IC.
of C. places. He conferred with rep
! resentatlves of the War Department,
the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Salvation
, Army and Jewish Welfare Board and
perfected arrangements to prevent
overlapping of effort.
"In my judgment,' Mr. Mulligan
said, "our overseas force will not
fully leave Europe for another twelve
! months. When I left Paris the im-
presslon was that the peace treaty
; would be whipped in shape by the
middle of May, but our boys will be
detained until they can return in
comfort. All the relief organizations
; have made their plans with this pe
. rlod in view. If the American public
i could realise how urgent is the need
for entertainment among the troops
they would wish that, instead of j
seven organizations, seventy times
seven were catering to their boys."
Mr. Mulligan, was the guest of Car-
dinal Merrier in Belgium. Tie pre
: rented to the Cardinal a check for
10,000 francs from Cardinal Gibbons.
Gen. Pershing, Mr. Mulligan said,
expressed his enthusiasm over the
elaborate boxing programme being
carried out by the Knights.
San Juan, Porto Rico, March 28
That women in Porto Rico should
share all rights granted to men un
der the existing laws, is the proposal
of an ax?t introduced into the House
of Representatives by JR. e preservative
Gonzales Mena.
The Woman V League of Porto Rico,
with over 2,500 members throughout
the island, and which is working to
obtain the vota for women, is not in
favor of the bill as it is considered
too sweeping' in its terms. The
league fears that if the vote is given
to ignorant and illiterate women
throughout the island it will mean
only more votes to be controlled by
the politicians.
Jt wants votes only for women who
can read and write, more for educa
tional and patriotic reasons than for
political purposes and the women ex
pect -to use their influence and pow
er in social, charitable, moral and
intellectual ways.
Under the control of the womans'
League of Porto Rico the woman's
suffrage movement in the island has
made a, considerable advance consid
ering that it has. been in progress
only two years. For many years Por
to Rico has held the usual Latin
American idea of woman's place In
life.
Bills providing for woman's suf
frage were introduced last year in
the legislature but failed to pass,
while not very strong hopes are en
tertained of the bill recently intro
duced which in any case is thought
by the' league to be too far reaching.
Members of. the league, however, say
they are not discouraged and will con
tinue their work until the women of
Pot t o R ic o who can read and w r i t e
are given the vote to be used for the
moral and social benefit of the island.
On this date in 18 91 the Canadian
Paciflo Railway was completed from
ocean to ocean and became a. truly
transcontinental transportation sys
tem, the only one in America. The
great railway, built at such tremend
ous cusi in inuuey, nit?iiLi nuix aianu- i 3
al labor and narliamentarv conversa- i
tion, was completed hetween Montr en.
and Vancouver in 1SS6, but it was
not until nearly five years later that
its eastern tenacles reached to the
Atlantic. After the completion of
the Montreal-Vancouver main line,
I
tho company began gradually to ac
quire smaller lines to link together ;
the Atlantic-to-Pacific system and ta .
serve as feeders. These roads in- j
eluded the Xew Brunswick system, ;
the Xorth Shore, the Canada Central, i
the Atlantic and iXorthwest, the Mon- ,
treal & Ottawa, the Toronto, Grey i j
Bruce, the Credit Valley, the Kubury ;
and San It Ste. Marie, the St. Law- !
rence & Ottawa, the Manitoba & j
Southwestern, the Minneapolis & St.
Paul, the Ca'-gary & Edmonton, and
many others. Since the completion j
of the Atlantic to Pacific line, the
work of construction and assimilation j
has been continued, until the system's j pjj
loiai mileage is auuui i.uuu. me i sk
greatest of any single system in Xorth

In trie report of a committee ap
pointed by the industrial conference
which met in February at the re
quest of Premier Lloyd Oeoree. The
committee waa chared with the : S
luty of considering ,the causes of la- I (
"bor unrest and inquiring- into the
question of hours and waes and was
made of sixty members, evenly divid
ed between the employers and repre
sentatives of trade unions.
It ia suggested that agreements for
minimum timo rates should be reach
ed between employers and trade un
ions to be applicable to all employes
in the same trade; that the basis for
negotiations between employers and I
workmen should be a full and frank I
acceptance of employes' organizations j
&s recognized organizations to speak
fi.nd act in behalf of their members;
And that all workmen should accept
the jurisdiction of their respective or- j
ionizations. I
Among the suggestions made by the
committee to meet the problems of un
employment and the maintenance of
the unemployed are plans for state
development of new industries, the
raising of the age at which children
should be allowed to enter employ
ment, more generous sick benefits
and old age pensions.
It is proposed that a national In
dustrial council be formed, . to con
sist of 400 members, each side be
ing equally represented. A standing
committee of fifty, also evenly di
vided, is suggested in the report.
The committee has asked the gov
ennment to authorize the minister of
labor to intimate at the conference
to be held on April 4, whether if the
;jlan is adopted, the government will
!lut It Into effect.

The tabor shortage has caused

he must get out of the rut and sub
Btitute machinery for time honored
wasteful methods, but his own lack
of knowledge concerning the upkeep
and operation of farm tractors, motor
trucks, automobiles, gas engines,
electrical machinery, and the like has
, been tho principal barrier. The dif
ficulty of obtaining competent help
has been an equal obsiacle. That the
Federal board has started- training
disabled soldiers in this new trade of
"farm mechanics" has been glad
news to many farm owners, long
time victims of incompetent untrain

keen steadily increasing their wage

As b. result of trained men, able to
operate machinery which will all but
eliminate the average farm , laborer,
farm owners are hopeful and display
great interest in putting their places
on a modern basis, equipped , with

Less than four rears ago, when the sense of economic grievance that rankled in the 'hearts of...
North Dakota's fanners had been fanned to a flame by the refusal of the legislature to establish a
State-owned terminal grain-elevator, a man named Arthur C. Townley jumped into a small hired auto
mobile and began by a farm-to-farm canvass the organization of the Xon-Partizan Leagiie. For months
the old lino politicians regarded this "flivver campaign" as a ."joke, but today they see Mr. Townley's
league of farmers grown to a membership of more than 200,000 with a political organization in thirteen
states, representation in the U. S. Congress, and completely in control of Xorth Dakota's government.
The St. Paul Dispatch terms the league "the most revolutionary political machine that ever
gained complete autocratic control of legislative affairs in any state in the Union," while the Minnea
polis Tribune speaks of it as "Townleyism, the political prairie fire that is now raging in Xorth Dakota
and spreading to surrounding states," but as the Xew York "World reminds us "Xorth Dakota and her.
people will pay the bill and the rest .of the country will profit by the demonstration." .
In the course of an illustrated article, comprizing more than three pages in this week's LITER
ARY DIGEST, every phase of this movement is explained, together with public opinion upon it fronr
all angles. -
