HOME EDITOR CITY GETS BACK OF SALVATION ARMY DRIVE "Dollars For Doughnuts" to the Slogan For Committee SOLDIERS ARE AIDING Men Who Found Organiza tion's Worth in France Support Movement tn the echo of the most thrilling war j adventure, related at the Harrishurg Club ! last evening by the city's own heroes, ] the local campaign for the Salvation j Army Home Service was launched to- | day by a sis-cylinder execuUve com- | mittee. sounding the slogan: "dollars for doughnuts" and "a man may be down, but he is never out." The big assembly room glittered with military uniform, and the welkin resounded with the convincing pledges of captains, lieu- ! tenants and privates to "go over the | top" for the Salvation Army who "were j always there where the shells were < dropping." The drive starts next Monday, run- j ning from May 19-26 and is nation-wide j for a total quota of $13,000,000. A great j number of big cities, especially in the ] West, have gone over their share; Scran ton is raising $150,000. and the amount for Dauphin County is set at $35,004. These and other facts were set before the gathering at the Harrlsburg Club last night by Captain E. J. Stackpole, Jr., who was unanimously chosen chairman. ! His executive committee will have more I or less the appearance of a regimental I staff, including: Captain John T. Bretz. | in charge of soldiers' canvassing teams; j 1 .ieut-Col. Edward Schell.

The headquarters have been established at the former Gilbert Store whence the other drives were conducted. Chairman Stackpole put the situation j before the gathering promptly and with I brevity, laying stress on the fact that j almost the entire bulk of the local quota remains here : the treasurer being ■ William Bowman, and if a sufficient i sum is raised a substantial Salvation j Army building will be established where home work may be carried on in emi- j nently progressive and satisfactory fash- i ion. He informed that Pennsylvania is taxed with a total of $2,000,000. the eity of Philadelphia taking over half of that, the rest for the State outside.

LABOR HEEDS PLEAS OF WOMEN WORKERS Three of Gentler Sex Attend Convention to Press Their De mands For Equal Rights With Men Competi tors in Business Field Will women play an important part in labor after the war? Women delegates to the Pennsylvania State Federation of La bor believe they will take prominent place in the industrial and economic world even though hostilities have ceased and soldiers are returning to their peace-time positions. Among the delegates registered for the sessions of the conven tion are three women: Miss Marie A. Depue. Philadelphia, repre senting the American Federation of Teachers; Miss Pauline New man, Philadelphia, of the Women's Trade Union League, and j Miss Fannie Seldens, New Kensington, representing the Central | Labor Union of her city. Miss Depue is a teacher in the, | West Philadelphia High School for) Girls. There is just a trace of gray! in her hair, but her eyes shone with j a gleam of resolution as she told ot her associaUon's plans for the bet terment of work among school teachers. "We are, so far as I know, the first teacher's union in the State, and we rank as fifty-eighth in the seventy-eight unions already formed throughout the nation. We want an equalization of salaries first of all, and our bill is now in the Legisla ture. "You will find this bill appl.ies only to antiquated cities, such as your own Harrishurg, Erie. Bethlehem and poor little old-fashioned Phila- I delphia. Other cities have already I awakened to the crying need.
