Burners' League, announced todny. Mrs. Kelley made this statement as a. 't's,ult f ah investigation made by tho Consumers' League Into Industrial conditions In the middle Atlantic and jew England Btates, where Women by thousands were drafted into industry because of the war. Not only did women lose gains made in employment conditions, Mrs. Kelley declared, but the ten years' fight made by her organization to reducb high liv ing costs was blocked. The fight must n?LuBln aU over aKln, she declares. "Tho Big Five Meat Combine," she declared this morning, has extended Its hold on foodstuffs until It Is carrying Its control into the meat substitute field Breakfast foods, wo find, are coming Into their control and the combine Is getting a grip on the corner grocery store that is fastening Its hold on the food supply ot the average household." Women did not get fabulous wages during the war, she contends, except lr. dangerous Industries, where many lost their lives. A survey of eastern in dustries disclosed this Tact, she said, and exposed a serious relaxation of well-established principles surrounding women In Industry, "There is little outlook for better leg. Islatlon now," she added. "The pass age of nn eight-hour law in Pennsyl vania would be a miracle." Just now the league Is going to start all over ln Its fight for lower living costs. "The burden of arter-war high living will he borne by the average family, and It Is for the relief of this average family that we are working," she cohcluded.

W. O. Tebor, secretary of the Ameri canization committee, asserted that he did not believe It was a good argument to cay that Some people In favor of the bill arc trying to Prussianize Amer ica. He said that from fifty to one huh drcd Italians nre applying dally to re turn to Italy, and declared that If they arc to be kept here for the particular purpose they serve America must be made more attractive. The Rev. Dr. J, K. McClurkin, United Presbyterian minister, said the bill was opposed by pnrents, teachers and the church of God. Tenehers Oppose Measure Moving-picture men admit, the clergy man said, they are Interested In the In creased revenues Sunday movies would produce. "I have heard teachers voice thankfulness that on Monday morning the school could open without the chil dren under the hypnotism of the 'movies' they had seen the night before," the speaker said.

"-n giiAlT-' CHURCH MUST WAKE TO RESPONSIBILITIES Camden Pastor SayB Return ing Soldiers Have Just Com plaint of "Isms" Tho church Is doomed unless It quickly awakens to new responsibilities cre ated by tho war, the Ilev. Dr. Jlomer J. Vosburgh declared last night ln an appeal for Protestant unity In a ser mon at North Baptist Church, Cam den, of which he Is pastor. "Investigation has disclosed that com plaints of returning soidlers and sailors of positive selfishness on the part of church workers are not unjustified," Doc tor Vosburgh said, "and facts cannot bo longer evaded. "Service men contend that there were too many 'Isms' and not enough real religious teaching In the trenches, Doc tor Vosburgh explained. "Each denomi nation seemed to make Its principal ef fort to Impress its Own Importance, while the fatherhood of God and other vital subjects were left more or less untouched. "Another thing of which the boys com plain Is that there are too many 'antls' and threats Included In Our teachings; we tell them not to do this and not to do that, while we, ourselves, make no effort to show them by practical Illus tration the better way to live." Doctor Vosburgh expressed the opin ion that Protestant churches should dis regard petty denominational differences and unite upon basic religious principles to Bpread the doctrine to the best ad vantage. He also suggested that Chris tian people show by their lives, not ln theory, the advantages of a godly life.
