Yours sincerely, Mary Van Kleeck, Director, Wu...an in Iniustry Service. BUREAU aF WOMEN IN INDUSTRY 230 Fifth Avenue New York City August 27, 1918. Miss Yary Van Kleeck, Washington, D. C. Dear Miss Van Yleeck, I am sending to you today, under separate cover, the following reports: https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis "Available Female Labor Supply of Niagara Falls, N.Y. with notes on Housing Conditions and Transportatim Facilities." "Report of the Inspection of the Russell Motor Car Company" "Report of a Survey of the Russell Motor Car Company, 82 Dewey Avenue, Buffalo, New York, by A.J.Langa and Paul M. Holmes." Very tru4 yours, For the Bureau of '::omen in Industry. I • SUGGESTIONS Be sure to answer every question as all of the questions are of importance in some part of the state and your committee hopes for a complete survey, even of establishments where only one woman is employed. If questionaires forwarded are not sufficient to cover your territory, send in request for number needed without delay. Do not leave blank spaces. Write in "none" if such is the case, and answer with "yes" or "no" where possible. Use ink or indelible pencil, reporting only one firm on each questionaire. When more than 26 women are employed, use sheets with page 2 on both sides for the additional names . In reporting on women who do washing, sewing,etc., by the day, use page 2 of one sheet, designating "Day workers" in place of "name of firm." Tho names of employers and information relating to the number of employees must be secured from the office records of the firm, but investigators are cautioned against taking up any more time than is absolutely necessary. Questions relating to the individual employe should be taken up with the employee herself, but investigators must not take up the working time of either firm or employee in doing so. It is therefore suggested that the women employees be interviewed either during the noon hour or at home. Approximate Age - Be tactful. Unless very young, guess at age rather than antagonize the person in question. KIND OF ESTABLISHMENT - Designate kind of store: Retail, wholesale grocery, dry goods, etc., or factory: Garment, candy, etc., or whether a laundry, restaurant, hotel, telephone establishment, etc. HOURS - Designate hours of employment, exclusive of meal time or other time off. When the length of day is irregular, as for example, 10 hrs. one day and 7 the next, indicate. TOILET - Under "condition" report on cleanliness, light, ventilation, etc. Under "location", indicate whether outside, inside, basement, convenient to workroom, etc. DRINKING WATER - Indicate source of supply, condition and kind of container and how covered. PUBLIC TOWEL - Indicate how often changed, how many using, whether men and women use the same towel. VENTILATION AND LIGHT - Indicate whether good, fair or bad. CLEANLINESS - Report on general condition of workroom, including floor and walls and how often cleaned. COUNTRY WHERE BORN AND NATIONALITY - Are not always the same;for instance,a person may be born in Russia and be a Pole,Finn, Ukranian and Hebrew. NATURALIZATION PAPERS - Be sure you understand this question as it applies to women. If not,consult with your local chairman, Minnesota Commission of Public Safety, or the County Clerk of Court lfor even if American-born, a woman becomes an alien if she marries a foreigner who is not naturalized. KIND OF WORK - Report on exact occupation, such as stenographer, clerical, sales-person, machine operator, sorter packer, waitress, cook,telephone operator, etc. WAGES - Give wages earned for the week preceding the day of investigation. When not paid by the week, estimate weekly wage. Designate whether work is paid for by the piece (p) or by the day (d), also designate whether payment is made every week (w), month ly ( m), bi-monthly (b-m). CONTRIBUTING TO FAMILY :JUPPORT - When possible, state amount contri buted weekly. WAGES PAID MEN REPLACED - Means wages paid man for same work woman is now doing. Whenever possible,secure information as to the man'spresent occupation and wage if not in war service,recording this information in the right margin. MARITAL CONDITION - Designate by writing in married o single t widow,ete. AGES OF CHILDREN - Give ages of all children as near as possible,but especially of children under thee age of 16 years. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis • • utsory • - 72,2 ' I.

C. My dear Liss Van Kleeck: I am sending you a copy of the Bulletins prepared in connection with the Survey; schedules of which you saw on your recent visit here. Je began our field work on July 1, and to date, about 830 _schedules have been filed which cover the employment of over 3,000 women. We shall have returned to us this week schedules of large firms employing about 10,000 additional women. Vie have over fifty volunteer investigators in the field. :e are preparing for tabulation of material and, as soon as I have an opportunity to correlate the information that is there which may be of interest to you, I shall be glad to send the same to you. We are all much interested in your new appointment and also in the appointment of Elizabeth Adams as 'lead of the ";omens Collegiate Section. Miss Rockwood, who was formerly with the Municipal Research Bureau and recently with the Grain Corporation in New York, has gone to 7iashington to work with the War Labor Policies Board. lam also sending you two bulletins describing the re-organization of the service of the Woman's OccJpational Bureau through its co-operation with the U. S. Employment Service. Much of this material will doubtless be of no value to you, but I shall continue to keep you informed as to the progress of the Survey and the results. We are finding that employers such as the Minneapolis Steel, who have women munitions workers, Northwestern Knitting Mills, banks, and others, are much interested in the problems of vocational training.

VOLUME 3 MAY 17, 1918 GOVERNMENT APPROVES SAINT PAUL PLAN ON ZONE INDUSTRIAL MOBILIZATION 'THE increasing demands of the Government 1 for war materials requires full mobilization of industrial capacity of the country. The large cS rporations have been able to secure vvar contracts successfully on account of the capacity which they can offer the Government. The smaller manufacturers, on account of less capacity, have been unable heretofore to secure contracts. Realizing- these conditions, and the fact that they will become worse in direct proportion to the duration of the war, the Saint Paul War Industries Board was formed, with the assistance S f the Association, for the purpose of co-ordinating the industrial resources of the city and bringing the Government in touch with these resources, in order to render to the Government the greatest possible assistance in the prosecution of the war, and at the same time keep the city's industries in operation and furnish employment to its industrial population. The small manufacturers were particularly considered in this plan, because their individual production is too small for the Government to consider, but by combining several small plants represented a substantial amount, and in addition would eliminate the necessity of the Government doing business with individual concerns. The Saint Paul War Industrial I3oard has had a representative in Washington for the past three months, who has kept the Government officials infS rmed of the facilities of Saint Paul to handle war work, and has resulted in business being placed in this district which would not otherwise have been S . In order to conform with the Government's policy of utilizing every possible resource of the United States to successfully prosecute the war. and the fact that Eastern districts are congested https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis NUMBER 20 4 on account of the disproportionate amount of S usiness placed there, transportation facilities having become congested, labor hard to obtain, inadequate housing facilities ; while in this trict we have practically no railroad congestion, adequate terminal facilities, raw materials and sufficient labor that desires to remain at home because of owning their homes, the Saint Paul War Industries Board, through Chairman D. IZ. Cotton, submitted to the Government a plan for dividing the United States into industriai zones, each to constitute a complete unit for war work and manufacture war goods from the raw material to the finished product, and thus do away with the transporting of partly finished mater;a1 frS m one part of the country to another. The tentative plan is to make each Federal Reserve District a zone. The zones to be built arS und chambers of commerce, which will act as infS rmation and service bureaus, both for the Government and manufacturers seeking contracts. Each zone bureau will be headed by an industrial expert. Under this organization plan manufacturers who buy parts for assembling will be instructed as to the firms in their zone offering such parts. Factories will be informed of raw material close at hand, and the wasteful practice S f sending- across several states for supplies obtainable nearer home will be abolished. Chairman Cotton has recommended to the Government that the zone system be given a trial in the Ninth Federal Reserve District, which comprises the states of Minnesot., North and South Dakota, Montana, northern portion of Wisconsin and Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It would bring closer and more immediate co-operation between the Government and the manufacturers; wS uld eliminate the dernand on the time of officers of the various departments by calls from individual firms and separate war organization boards of various communities, as the present Official Bulletin OF THE Saint Paul Association PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY THE SAINT PAUL ASSOCIATION COMMERCE BUILDING, SAINT PAUL, MINN. TELEPHONES: CEDAR 15; AUTO. 21 381 SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR. ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER NOVEMBER 24, 1916, AT THE POST OFFICE AT SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA, UNDER THE ACT OF MARCH 3, 1879 demands upon the officials by frequent calls of representatives asking for business and following up business represent a tremendous waste; saving in time and money to the manufacturers in having a clearing house for information. Under this scheme unused facilities thrown into idleness by cessation of peace-time work will be revived and used by war industries. The zone plan is another step in the process of scattering war contracts throughout the nation, instead of concentrating them in the Eastern industrial district. A complete channel of information will be developed in each zone, reaching down to the smallest city where any available factory is located. The economy effected by the zone system of our industries cannot be over-estimated. Every application for listings and the submitting of proposals would be made through this division • of the War Industries Board. The work of the Saint Paul War Industries Board was highly complimented by Howard M. Hay, expert aid to Secretary of the Navy Daniels, in his address at the Forum Luncheon on Thursday. Federal officials recognize Saint Paul's strategical position, and approve the pooling of industrial resources in order to handle war contracts. SAINT PAUL'S QUOTA FOR S. A. $25,000 HE intensive campaign to raise Saint Paul's Tquota of $25,000 for the Red Circle War Service of the Salvation Army will be made on June 3-4-5. The entire responsibility for raising this quota has been assumed by the Saint Paul Elks. "Help the Elks Put It Over" is the slogan adopted by the executive committee, of which Howard Everett is chairman. The campaign in Saint Paul is 'part of a national drive to obtain $5,000,000 from the. United States to erect addi- https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis tional huts in France and the United States, to equip, maintain and operate them for men in the service and to pay for equipment and maintenance of experienced Salvation Army men and women to take charge of the various stations. The work of the Salvation Army with the Allied armies has been going on since the war started. To date the organization has spent more than $2,000,000 in war activitie ; alone. THE WHOLE INDUSTRY N procuring the enormous quantities of mai terials and supplies needed in the war, and in the conversion of industry from non-war to war purposes, the Government needs and welcomes the active assistance and co-operation of business men, that it may have the benefit of their knowledge and experience to the fullest extent. If we are to have a strong industrial country after the war, we must start now to put our industries in shape. Manufacturers with kindred interests, without infringement of existing laws, should consider problems of mutual concern. The aim should be to preserve the structure of each industry, not one manufacturer against another, one city against another, nor one state against another— but, the industry itself, regardless of ownership or location. OUR PRESENT JOB AINLESS war is not the sort in which we are now engaged. This is no war deluxe, embellished with trappings and social eclat, and all the rest of the fanciful things in fairy books. Individuals here and there may have some such notion. They are destined to a violent and uncomfortable disillusionment. This is a war of might,—the honorable might of peoples outraged in every noble ideal of peace and humanity they have set before themselves,—against primordial fury. To obtain the might that will overcome the force that has been let loose, and that will stay its destruction, creature comforts must be yielded. Personal sacrifice must become a national creed in every walk of life, private and official. The cost is not to be counted merely upon the field of battle. It is to be reckoned still more at home. For the more the loss is assumed in each factory, town, and village,—by every person behind the lines, at home, whether in positions of executive responsibility or at lathe, plow, or desk,—the less the cost in the ready youth tlut man the trenches. p S. , For a year we have been hardening our mus//, cles. It i—time to twist them with pain, until they s 1 and throb with power for the work tha • before us. VOCATIONAL BUREAU FOR TRAINED WOMEN "-FAH E opening week of the Vocational Bureau 1 for Trained Women,in charge of Miss Cleora Wheeler, Director, officed in the Association rooms, has been very successful. This bureau, opened under the auspisss of the,t Paul Colorganiz lege Club, has since organizations in similar of work studied the ago for this sort of need the other large cities and work in Saint Paul. The object of the bureau is to furnish information regarding positions for trained women; where employers may find women workers with special training and where a clearing house of information is established, as well as a research department to investigate new avenues of activity and opportunity for young women. During the first week over two hundred women have made application for positions. Because of the fact that the work is largely educational, the director of the bureau asks that Association members tell others about it, so that its field of usefulness may be constantly widened. VOCATIONAL REHABILITATI DISABLED SOLDIERS AND SAILORS OF D RELIMINARY steps have been taken by the 1 Employment and Welfare of Labor Commit.: tee of the Association for the aid of disabled soldiers and sailors among the thousands from Saint Paul who have gone or will go into service. Utilization of augmented school facilities, establishing- of new training schools and special aid and employment bureaus are being considered by the committee. This is one of the biggest war problems that we have. There will be thousands of crippled American soldiers, and they must be fitted into their proper vocations when their service at the front is ended. HOMES FOR WORKING MEN PLANNED D LANS are now tinder consideration by the I Housing Committee of the Association for the building of inexpensive homes for workingmen. Preliminary details for a competitive ex- https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis hibition of types of such dwellings, actual models, by architects of the city have been worked out. The object is to properly standardize these homes. FAREWELL SEND-OFFS FOR MEN LEAVING FOR SERVICE committee, consisting of PresiA SPECIAL ent C. H. Bigelow, Chairman, L. W. Hill, C. W. Gordon, S. W.

Severance, Mrs. J. T. Hale, F. T. Peterson, W. R. Mills, Dr. C. I. Ingerson, Carl Cummins and J. C. Flanagan has been appointed to outline plans for send-offs to men departing from Saint Paul for service. RESALE PRICE FIXING IIE Federal Trade Commission has entered a number of complaints against business houses charged with the practice of requiring those to Whom they sell to maintain a standard retail price fixed by. the seller. The commission ha st disposed of the first of these cases, holdng that when once an article has passed from a maker to a purchaser, the latter owns it and may resell it at any price, provided that he does not himself sell at such a price as to be below cost, and thus thereby enter into unfair competition with other retailers selling the same article. T ESTABLISHMENT OF BARGE LINES ON MISSISSIPPI TO BE URGED H. BEEK, Traffic Director, with the Saint J• Paul delegation which attended the Mississippi Valley Waterways Association at Saint Louis, advises that the Waterways Association will send a delegation, consisting of 100 representatives, from Saint Paul, Minneapolis and all other cities in the Mississippi Valley, to Washington next week, for the purpose of urging the Government to establish barge lines on the Mississippi and other inland rivers, in co-operation with the fuel administration. THOROUGHFARE INSPECTION Streets and Highways Committee of the THE Association has under consideration a plan for the appointment of a chairman in each ward in the city to.inspect regularly all streets, alleys and sidewalks, and report improper conditions to city officials to obtain remedy. CONSERVATION OF AMERICAN INDUSTRY HE Anti-Sabotage Law recently passed by Congress is intended as an educational movement to inform all classes of citizens as to their true relation to industry and its actual bearing on their own property. The law provides that anyone interfering with the United States or its Allies in carrying on the war, or willfully destroying war material, war premises or utilities used in connection with war material and for other purposes, shall be punished by fine or imprisonment or both. T THE RAILWAY SITUATION N railway transportation, as in the iron and I steel industry, there has been a rapid recovery in both activity and profits since the winter blockade. The severity of the situation in January is reflected in the fact that of the tOtal gross receipts of twenty railway systems during that month, only 1% remained for the Government Treasury after paying expenses and interest. A few railways in the West and Southwest, such as Atchison, Southern Pacific and Union Pacific, showed substantial profits; but the numerous deficits in the East largely cancelled the profits elsewhere. During the first quarter the Treasury advanced $13,000,000 to the New York Central and $1,300,000 to the Wabash to compensate them for operating losses. About $75,000,000 was also loaned to the railways to meet maturing obligations. The benefit received by the Eastern railways is conspicuously evidenced by the case of the New Haven. This railway had 44 millions of notes maturing in April, on which it had been paying 7 per cent. The Government renewed the notes witlj Treasury funds at 6 per cent., thus saving an interest charge of $440,000 a year for the road. In January, moreover, the New Haven showed a slight net loss on operations as compared with a profit of $1,700,000 a year ago. If the Government had not taken over the railroads it is doubtful whether the New Haven could pay interest and taxes. As it is, however, the Government guarantees the interest on New Haven's bonds and notes, and an income equal to about 2.5 per cent. on the stock. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Second Red Cross War Fund Campaign may 20th to 27th Saint Paul's Quota Is $500,000 Let's Give $700,000 "I have done what I can.

Be Ready When The Call Comes The poor earnings in January, of course, are not the fault of Government management. It is too soon to judge the business ability of the Government in managing the railways. In fact, during the entire war military expediency will he more important than business management. The public will not be able to judge what might be expected under Government ownership until the first year after the war. PRICE LISTS The Public Library has just received two new series of publications by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics which are of considerable assistance in estimating the increased cost of materials and labor. They are the Wholesale Prices series and the Retail Prices series. These two important bulletins are supplemented by articles in the Monthly Review of the Bureau for February, 1918, on wholesale prices (P-102-106) and retail prices (P-91-101). OFFICIAL BULLETIN OF THE SAINT PAUL ASSOCIATION Further information relative to subjects treated herein furnished on request. VOLUME 3 MAY 24, 1918 S. A. WAR FUND CAMPAIGN EN the first British Expeditionary Force left England in August, 1914, the English government sent Salvation Army Officers with it to provide "huts" and to take care of the "Tommies." 'When the United States entered the war this government asked the Salvation Army to expand the scope of its activities to include the same kind of work for American troops. The Salvation Army responded, built the first hut in France and today is operating 196 huts on the battlefields for American Troops. Many more have been planned at the request of the United States government. And now for the first time in the history of the organization the Salvation Army is raising a fund nationally to carry on this work. Three million dollars is asked. More than that amount has already been expended by the organization out of its own treasury. Members of the Committee on Benevolent Associations and Requests have endorsed the local campaign for this fund and on June 4 and 5, assisted by the Saint Paul Elks, local business men will make a two day drive to raise Saint Paul's quota, $25,000. Howard Everett is chairman of the Campaign committee of the B. P. 0. E., and more than a score of prominent members of the Association, including L. W. Hill, W. P. Kenney, and C. C. Gray, are members of the committee. The government has consented to allow the mail carriers to assist in the drive and they will also work after the two day campaign if it is found necessary. It is hoped that all loyal Saint Paul citizens will do their part to show the nation Saint Paul is ready and willing to do all in its power to support all war activities. Campaign headquarters have been opened at 102 East Fifth street and a corps of workers from Salvation Army headquarters are getting ready for the campaign. W https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis NUMBER 21 Majors Frank J. Peterson, J. P. Healy, Frank J. Spriggs will have charge of the downtown district; Major Cal E. Stone, the Railroad Division; Otto N. Raths, the mail service, and W.0.'Washburn, South Saint Paul, Midway and outlying districts. SAINT PAUL TO HAVE WAR BOAT PLANT OSEPH DINGLE of the Dingle Boat Works and a member of the Saint Paul War Industries Board who has just returned from Washington, advises that he has received assurance from the government that Saint Paul will receive contracts for the construction of small craft, mostly life and work boats. Plans for the construction of a war plant to handle this work are now in preparation. Conference was also held regarding order for ocean vessels with a foreign government representative, and if it is found possible to build these ships and get them to seacoasts, plans will be made for a large construction plant in Saint Paul. Saint Paul has been given contracts for 30 life boats and 10 work boats for the present and it is expected that as many contracts as can be handled will be forthcoming. FITTING FAREWELL TO BE GIVEN TO DEPARTING MEN LANS were perfected at a meeting of the P committee for arranging send-offs to Saint Paul men departing for service. The committee in charge of this work consists of W. R. Mills, Chairman; Mrs. J. T. Hale, Major John P. Snyder, Dr. C. A. Ingerson, Commissioner Henry C. McColl, Jos. Barrett of the Saint Paul Musicians' Union, R. I. Auerbach and Ivan A. Coppe. Men leaving Saint Paul for all branches of the service will be given fitting farewell send-offs in the future.

TELEPHONES: CEDAR 15; AUTO. 21 381 SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR. ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER NOVEMBER 24, 1916, AT THE POST OFFICE AT SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA, UNDER THE ACT OF MARCH 3, 1879 FORMER ASSOCIATION DIRECTOR CABLES RED CROSS APPEAL N Wednesday afternoon Chairman Dittenhofer of the Saint Paul Chapter of the American Red Cross received a cable from Robert E. Olds, urging that Saint Paul contribute its utmost to the War Fund. Mr. Olds is one of the volunteers who are directing the wonderful work of the Red Cross in Europe. He is head of the legal department in France and is one of a board of seven which decides on all Red Cross expenditures in France. In this cable to Saint Paul Mr. Olds says: "When all facts can be made known, every person who now contributes to the American Red Cross money or service to the very limit of his ability, will consider that he has exercised a high privilege as well as having performed a plain duty. No such combined appeal to both humanity and patriotism has ever before been known. "With the coming of our men the work of the Red Cross in France has assumed vital importance and next to the wonderful effect of the American army itself is the most powerful factor in a situation which, if allowed to develop without embarrassment from lack of home support, will make final and complete victory absolutely sure. Saint Paul, I know, Nv i 1 1 not fail us in our time of greatest need." AMERICANIZATION MEETING HE Association's Americanization committee will meet on Monday afternoon, May 27th. The special committee consisting of Mrs. C. A. Severance, Mrs. J. T. Hale, E. C. Hartwell, E. C. Steger, R. S. Coleman, Dr. Carol Aronovici and Chas. Summers will present recommendations for an Americanization program in Saint Paul. T https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis THE WORLD'S DRIVE FOR FOREIGN TRADE N in export trade is to have C0a -OPERATIO big place in international commerce. Our of own legislation to permit it upon the part American exporters went upon the statute book on April 10, after being urged over a period of four years. Briefly, our law now allows co-operation in export trade on four conditions,—that on the part of a co-operating group there be no selling for consumption or resale within the United States, that there be no act which artificially or intentionally enhances or depresses prices within the United States for the class of goods exported or which substantially lessens competition or restrains trade within the country, that restraints are not placed upon the export trade of domestic competitors of the co-operating group, and that there is supervision by the Federal Trade Commission. Our law has come none too soon. It had scarcely been approved by the President when our Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce'came out with a description of Germany's plans for foreign trade. Since this book went to press German preparations have further developed. An export trade company has been founded in the German ministry of economics, and with the express purpose of pushing German business as soon as the war closes, in the eighteen countries that are now at war against it. This company represents large commercial and industrial associations. Syndication of German industries for export trade was far advanced before the war began; it is now becoming even more extensive in preparation for the days that will follow the consummation of peace. Austria is ambitious in the same direction. An international export and import company in Vienna is absorbing export firms which before the war had international connections. This concern will act in harmony with a like organization in Hungary. For increased co-operation in export trade England has had a committee studying its industries. In February it declared the future of the nation depends to a large extent on increased co-operation in its greatest industries severally. Shipbuilding, shipping, textile manufacture, and lace and hosiery trades are among the industries in which the committee especially asked co-operation for export purposes. All these movements give assurance that foreign markets are to have a new importance in the national economy of the leading nations. .1.111==1 • TRACTOR DEMONSTRATION WILL BE HELD IN SAINT PAUL—JUNE 4-5 T the request of the Ford Manufacturing Company arrangements are being made through the Saint Paul Association for a twoday exhibition of the Ford Tractor. Through an agreement with the Government, Mr. Ford will distribute throughout the State of Minnesota, 1,000 tractors which will be placed with farmers, making application for them and furnishing necessary requirements, at factory price and dealers' non-profit basis. Mr. Ford believes this tractor Will help to increase our country's food production by doing the work of the thousands of men who have answered the call of Uncle Sam for duty "over there." The exhibition will take place on June 4 and 5, and a large corps of expert mechanics from the Ford factory will be present to demonstrate the use of the tractor for farming purposes. It is expected that at least 5,000 farmers will attend the demonstration which will be the greatest exhibition of its kind in the history of the Northwest and one of the most important gatherings of food producers held this year. A CONVENTIONS IN SAINT PAUL DURING JUNE Northwest Central Warehouse Club Convention—June 4 and 5. Fordson Tractor Demonstration — June 4 and 5.

PROPOSAL FOR INCREASED STREET CAR FARE CONSIDERED HE proposal of the Twin City Rapid Trani sit Company to increase fares to six cents and a request that action be taken to extend the transfer district one-fare zone from the Saint Paul city limits into Minneapolis to Oak Street were discussed by the street railway committee of the Association at a meeting Thursday. The committee, of which Max Hermann is chairman, proposes to make recommendations on both matters to the board of directors so that a definite T https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis stand may be taken to determine remedial action, if any, is to be urged. The extension of the free fare zone is of vital importance to Saint Paul"s interests as car patrons from Minneapolis now can ride two miles free into Saint Paul to Snelling Avenue, while the one fare limit toward Minneapolis from Saint Paul ends at the city limits at Raymond Avenue. NEW STYLES IN BUSINESS EFFECT OF WAR business effect of war is hard to gauge THE by industries, as a matter of forecast. The to trace in actual course of things is much easier times when conditions take all sorts of unexpected forms. European countries have had almost four years in which to ascertain what would really happen. In Italy, for example, the war is said to have benefitted the silk industry; cotton and woolen fabrics have advanced in price until silk has frequently had a chance to compete on a basis of cost. In the face of real difficulties in obtaining raw materials, Italian cotton manufacture, too, has thriven and increased its exports. Mills deprived of Russian flax have turned to Italian hemp, and there has been much more fundamental shifting in industry, with a sum total of result that is better than might have been expected. There is a demand for labor that has affected even the cost of growing oranges, as the British Food Ministry has had to agree in looking after retail prices in London. All of this has been achieved in the face of a shortage in fuel which first sent olive groves to the furnace and then gave an impulse to development of hydro-electric power with the government taking a liberal hand. France, with the burden of the Western Front on her soil, reports that in 1917 commercial transactions were 37 per cent greater than in 1916, that whereas 55 per cent of factories and business houses were inactive in August, 1914, this percentage had dropped to 23 at the end of 1917, and that the workers in factories were slightly more numerous in 1917 than in times of peace. Of the allied countries, England has had the greatest industrial chancres. Events have not marched according to expectation, either. For example, when the war opened problems of unemployment for large numbers of workers were looked for, and a great fund was collected, under the patronage of the Prince of Wales, to relieve the distress that was believed to be inevitable. The well-intentioned philanthropists were left in wonderment, however, when unemployment dropped toward the vanishing point under a demand for labor that is described as actually fierce. Where industries have been turned to war work, and controlled by the government, a question has arisen about the maintenance of pre-war good will against the day when peace will return. After some discussion of this problem, the British government has sanctioned limited advertising, in order that good will may be attained. Our own Railroad Administration in connection with its control of the railways has taken a somewhat different position, holding that the roads could not advertise except in the way of announcing train schedules and the like. DISPLAY OF PATRIOTIC POSTERS URGED HE Association's Committee on -Employment and Welfare of Commercial and Industrial Labor, at a meeting held Thursday, recommended to the Board of Directors that the Saint Paul Association take steps to encourage the display of patriotic posters, and the distribution of patriotic circulars, which would tend to increase the stability of labor and harmonious relations between employers and employes with a view to increasing production and thereby promoting the efficiency of the Government's \Var program. The Association has received from the National Manufacturers' Association 50 sets (10 posters to a set) of patriotic posters urging co-operation between employer and employe which can be secured upon request. T RECENT ENACTMENTS HAT progress is being made in this session new laws approved by the President bear testimony.

These measures indicate the importance of the war legisla- T https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis tion that is pressing forward. Much of it has for its purpose a gradual extension of Government control over industries, supplies of materials, and transportation. Other bills provide means for reinstating in useful activities the nien in our armed forces who suffer serious injury. SAINT PAUL EXCEEDS RED CROSS QUOTA NT PAUL'S contribution to the Red Cross "1 \\Tar Fund will be $750,000, or one-half larger than the quota asked of the city. The close of the three-day campaign showed nearly $700,000 had been collected by the soliciting armies. The women workers of the Red Cross have done valiant service in the campaign. Under the chairmanship of Mrs. E. T. Buxton, they have collected a total of $225,000, with a great many subscriptions still to come from homes that have requested a second call. Complete figures and details on the Red Cross campaign will be given in next week's Bulletin. S "CHARLIE" CRANE TO LEAVE SAINT PAUL ri A.

IMPORTANT TRAFFIC STUDY COMPLETED SPECIAL committee of the Sub-division of Health, Safety and Sanitation, consisting of Mr. Louis R. Frankel, Chairman, Mr. Frank J. A https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis NUMBER 26 Bowlin and Mr. James Nankivell, has completed a very thorough study of street traffic and has submitted its report to the Subdivision for action. The committee confined its investigation to three main propositions. 1st. To matters relating to traffic police: 2nd. To matters relating to streets; 3rd. To matters relating to specific nuisances permitted in the streets. In its work the committee had the full co-operation of Commissioner McColl and members of his department. In regard to the first proposition the committee found that of the methods of handling traffic in metropolitan cities, namely the Semaphore, the whistle signal and the manual signal, that the latter method was best fitted for the control of vehicular traffic in Saint Paul. The manual signal system is supposed to be in use in Saint Paul but the committee found that the method of its operation was open to serious criticism on two points: first—that the traffic officers do not use uniform and easily understood signals for moving and stopping traffic; and second—the absolute disregard for the safety of pedestrian traffic. These evils are susceptible of easy correction and to this end the committee makes three recommendations: 1st. That the traffic officers be instructed to use a uniform and definite system of hand signals for the direction of traffic. 2nd. That vehicles traveling in intersecting directions be not permitted within the area bounded by the curb lines of the intersecting streets at the same time; in other words, that traffic be definitely stopped in one direction before it be allowed to proceed in another;. so that the rights of pedestrians on the crossings shall be protected. 3rd. Upon the recommendation of Commissioner McColl, the committee heartily recom- Official Bulletin OF THE Saint Paul Association PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY THE SAINT PAUL ASSOCIATION COMMERCE BUILDING, SAINT PAUL, MINN. TELEPHONES : CEDAR 15 ; AUTO. 21 381 SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR. ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER NOVEMBER 24, 1916, AT THE POST OFFICE AT SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA. UNDER THE ACT OF MARCH 3, 1879 mends in furtherance of the two foregoing recommendations that white crossing lines be properly placed at all downtown street intersections, which line shall indicate the line of crossing for pedestrian traffic a's well as the dead line .beyond which vehicular traffic shall not pass without direction from the traffic officer. With reference to these recommendations, the views therein expressed are approved by the Commissioner of Public Safety and the Chief of Police and the committee is advised that if recommended by the Association the reforms indicated will be inaugurated. As a result of its investigation of street conditions the committee recommends the establishing of zones of safety at the principal street car loading places ; it recommends the establishment of Isles of Safety at certain important street intersections, among others the intersection of 6th, St. Peter and Market Streets, the intersection of 5th, 7th and Exchange Streets: the intersection of Ramsey and Thompson Streets with Smith Avenue. The committee also recommends the installation of large warning lights at certain dangerous corners. The committee in its report also enumerates certain street nuisances which should be stopped. Among these is the practice of the street car company in having its cars "lay over" at the corner of Sixth and Robert Streets, one of the busiest corners in Saint Paul. Another nuisance is the parking of vehicles at or close to the corners of intersecting streets, making it difficult for vehicle drivers to make a Safe and proper turn into an intersecting street. In connection with parking the committee recommends that the parking of a car within thirty feet of a street intersection or within fifteen feet of either side of a fire hydrant should be absolutely prohibited. A further nuisance considered unnecessary by the committee is the practice of the Western .Union Telegraph Co. of permitting its messengers to park bicycles https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis in a continuous line along the curb eastwardly on 4th Street from Robert where passengers board cars at one of the busiest car corners in the city. In its entire investigation the committee confined itself to problems which are readily susceptible of solution by the means now available to the city. Many other regulations could be proposed but the committee has felt that regulations not backed by adequate means of enforcement would be worse than useless. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS ON INLAND WATER TRANSPORTATION of more than two hundred ADELEGATION business men, representing all the cities in the Mississippi Valley from Saint Paul and Minneapolis to New Orleans, met in \Vashington on Monday, June 17th, by appointment with Direcor General McAdoo, to present to him a request _ that the Government build a large number of barges and tow-boats for service upon the Mississippi river from Saint Louis to New Orleans. On account of Mr. McAdoo's illness, Judge Prouty of the Interstate Commerce Division met the delegation and conducted an all-day hearing upon the merits of the request. The case on behalf of the Mississippi Valley delegation was presented by Senator Jas. D. Reed of Missouri. Senators Nelson, Kellogg and Congressman Van Dyke of Minnesota were present at the request of the Minnesota delegation. Saint Paul was represented by L. C. Hodgson, Mayor; Oscar E. Keller, Commissioner of Public Utilities and 0. H. O'Neill, Corporation Attorney. Congressman Van Dyke, Honorable F. C. Stevens and W. C. Koch represented the Saint Paul Association. Mayor Hodgson is of the opinion that the delegation made an excellent showing, that Judge Prouty was thoroughly impressed with the merit of the proposition and favorable action is confidently expected. On the return of the delegation to Saint Paul the Executive Committee of the Association adopted the following resolution: "Whereas, The railroads of the country are now, and for more than two years past have been, called upon for transportation beyond their capacity, resulting in serious congestion and delays and much actual loss to shippers, and "Whereas, With the expanding commercial business, the increased agricultural acreage and production, the large expansion of the army, both lim I at home and abroad, and the great demand its mobilization and maintenance must continue to make upon the transportation companies, and "Whereas, The exorbitant expense due to the shortage in labor and materials, make it practically impossible to make a large expansion to the existing railway facilities at this time, such as double tracks, greatly enlarged terminals, more locomotives, cars and other equipment, and "Whereas, The vigorous and successful prosecution of the war depends upon adequate transportation facilities, be it therefore "Resolved, By the Saint Paul Association of Public and Business Affairs that the Director General of Railroads be requested to exercise the authority conferred upon the President of the United States in the Transportation Bill, and build and operate such a number of barges and tow-boats and such other vessels as can be advantageously used for the transportation of agricultural products, war materials and merchandise upon the Mississippi river, more especially that part of the river from Saint Louis to New Orleans, and to co-ordinate rail and water routes wherever possible to provide additional transportation facilities, to the end that the commery cial business of the country and the needs of tV country may be efficiently served." Announcement was made this week th t the city's new nine hundred foot dock is in readiness to receive shipments of coal from Saint Louis. The ore loading facilities for return cargoes are also ready for operation. SOME RECORD NE of Saint Paul's proudest records should be that of the Second Red Cross War Fund. With a quota of $500,000.00 the Citizens of Saint Paul, Ramsey County, and South Saint Paul subscribed $883,572.32. No less remarkable than the amount of money raised was the number of individual subscribers which totaled 96,188. This campaign, including the monster Red Cross parade which opened it, was financed at a cost to the Saint Paul Chapter of only $850.00 or less than 1-10 of one per cent. In commenting on this in His published statement, Chairman Dittenhofer said : "The administration of this campaign at such a small cost to the Chapter was in a large degree due to the fact that the Saint Paul Association extended to this campaign, as it has to all other important war projects, its valuable support and facilities." O https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis P BUY THE LIMIT OF WAR SAVINGS STAMPS Saint Paul must pledge its quota. Every Association member who is able to should pledge to purchase the limit—$1,000.00. Any bank, Postman, or War Savings Headquarters — First Floor Endicott Bldg. will accommodate you. PLANS FOR CO-OPERATION WITH OUTOF-TOWN RETAILERS UNDER CONSIDERATION R. Fred L. Mann, President of the North Dakota Retailers Association conferred on Tuesday with a special committee of the Subdivision on Jobbing and Manufacturing regarding plans by "Iftch closer co-operation can be establishedirttween the wholesalers and the out-oftow/retailers to the end that many existing probis can find a better solution. M WOMEN'S VOCATIONAL BUREAU CAN SUPPLY ASSISTANCE HE Vocational Bureau has private secretaries, clerical workers, stenographers, typists, bookkeepers, cashiers, institutional managers, social service workers and many other specially trained women to recommend to employers for temporary or permanent positions. The Bureau asks an opportunity to place these women as rapidly as possible and invites the employers to call the Association and ask for the Vocational Bureau for Trained Women. T WOMEN'S WAR WORK DIVISION ACTIVITIES NEW unit of the Council of Nation'al Defense, Ramsey County, Women's division was organized to carry on war work, last week. It is called the Junior Council and has a membership of 40 college and high school girls. This unit was organized to relieve the block chairmen of some of their duties. The girls will assist the flower chairmen in collecting flowers in the various wards for the Soldiers' club flower booth, 4th and Wabasha Sts. The proceeds from this booth are used for the support of the Soldiers' and Sailors' club. The A sales are averaging $20.00 per day. Saturday, June 22nd, all previous sales records were broken when the total sale was $45.00. Members of the Junior League make up the sales force. The Women's division is also conducting a child welfare campaign. The campaign consists of registering, weighing and measuring all children in the county under six years of age. The Golden Rule and Macey's store allowed the Council to establish weighing centerstin their infant wear departments and centers have also been established in each ward and outlying district. The campaign will continue through the month of July. Several thousand children have been weighed in the first three weeks. The volunteer help of about 25 nurses and the co-operation of Postmaster Raths, who has loaned the organization seven pairs of scales, has made the work possible.

It came into being May 8, at a time when it serves the public in a special way because of war conditions, although it was organized by the College club with the purpose of making it a permanent and vital force in the community. AIDED BY ASSOCIATION'. Because of its .possible value in question, the lolving industrial "Where is the trained woman?" it has been affiliated by the St. Paul Association, taken under the wing of Its employment division End has been housed in the rooms of the association, 1015 Commerce building.

L. Lescohier of the Public Safety Commission Shelland, State Miss Anne and of the chairman Americanization Council of National Defense.

The story of the play is the tale of a drummer boy who runs away from the battle of Antitam, and who lives to see his grandson desire to dodire his duty in the present conflict. Wants to Go to England. Raymond Hitchcock, whose revue, "HitchY-Koo," is the chief rival of the Ziegfeld ''Follies" this summer, wants to go to England next autumn and his going will he in the nature of a "mission." He wants to convince English theater-goers that American performers fear neither submarines nor air raids. He wants to dispel gloom with his merrymaking. Whether he can convince the Department of State that he would in reality be performing a mission and thus persuade them to let him take his whole company with him 'remains to be seen. Mr; Hitchcock was received with great enthusiasm two seasons ago when he played "Mr. Manhattan" in London, and he thinks his present entertainment should make an even more decided bid for favor. Sir Alfred Butt has placed one of his commodious theaters at his disposal in October and the "intimate" comedian says only particularly intimate and well-aimed torpedo will prevent him from appearing in it. Bert Williams in Play. Bert Williams, who was quietly eliminated after the opening night of the "Follies" because he didn't bestir himself and spring some new jokes, is not going to waste next season—not by any means. Rumor first had it that he was going into vaudeville but now it is learned that Manager A. H. successful angler for Woods was his services.

Never did movie magnate want to make a star out of some promising little,, curly headed acress more than does Alice Brady want to exploit the talents of her bulldog Toots, here pictured. She rings him in on evety picture she can. But one day a movie director sought to get even with her and suggested that Toots have a regular star role. While the picture was being taken, his mistress discovered that part of the action consisted in slipping a bag over the dog, picking him up quickly and hurling him over a wall and through a :ledge to drop to a sunken roadway, which lay ten feet below. She frustrated his cruel intentions just in time and spoiled two hun: dred feet of film. Nor would she accept the explanation of the director that it was all a joke.
