UNCLE SAM LIKES
FARMERETTES
The "farmerette," unless signs fai
has come to stay, for the Woman’
Land Army of America has been tal
es over by the Department of Labo
and will have a peace-time job as bi:
as the war service it did last year.
To help Uncle Sam do his part i
feeding the coyntries of Europe, th
Woman's Land Army in future is t
co-ordinate its efforts with those o
the Farm Service Division of the U
nited States Employment Servic*
Mrs. William H. Hubert has been aj
pc’nted National Director of the orgai
•'-_‘ion
Neither the 'rrmerette northe farrr
er. says Mrs. Hubert Is loath to hea
the news, for last Fall, as the girl
came back to the city, their first ques
tion was. "Are we going to be needei
next year." As for the farmer, Mrs
Hubert has on file many "testimon
ials" begging pardon eor past skeptic
ism and declaring that the girls hav
made good.
It is not the intention of the lam
army to introduce women into farn
work at a wage which would under
cut the men farm hands, and so poss
. ibly deprive male labor of neeess3r;
jobs.
"The worker in the land army,” ex
plains the National Director, “will re
ceive wages adjusted in accordanci
with the wage scale in each State. Thi
experienced woman will get a gooi
wage, and even the ‘green hand’ wt!
receive something while she is learn
ing. But the plan is to reduce th
number of 'green hands’ sent to th
farmer, for as many girls as possibl
are to be trained in agricultural col
lege and in land army training camp:
so that it will be largely ’graduat
larmerettes' who will make up th
working units.
‘•The Camp Management Committe
of the National Land Army organiza
tion will take up such questions a
sanitation, recreation, diet, health
i hours of work, and contracts with err
' nloyers. arefully considered stand
i ards and conditions of work will b
recommended by the committee afte
j consultation with experts. The worl
of women on the land is to be s
standardized as to insure to the work
er a sound economic proposition am
real physical benefit. The land arm;
has always stood for an eight-hou
day. emergency work being permittei
when necessary to save crops."
SOVIETS OPEN DRIVE TC
WIN RUSS WOMEN
WARSAW. — Tlie Russian Sovie'
government is carrying on a cam
paign to secure the support of wo
-rent throughout Russia, according tc
efugees from Moscow. Mme Radek
wife of Karl Radek, the chief Bolshe
.-ik agent in German, is prominent ia
‘his work and is trying to attract at
‘entiou of women by having them takr
-osition in the ministries and colleges
Premier Lenine is declared to have
r-iade this remark to me Radek:
“if Bolshevism fails it will be be
-ause we could not get the mass of
vemen interested."
Many intelligent women are report
ed to be co-operating with Lenine and
Trotzky, but they point out that it
will be impossible to win the support
~f the women as long as religion is
j flauntedand as long as divorce is
made so easy.
The Soviqt propaganda bureau is
‘ putting out notices that with spring
5 will come ‘food and clothes. They
‘ also harp on the prospects for peace.
as it is peace, above a|l. that the
’ women and peasants want.
Women Complain Little
‘j Women refugeeswho hajve arrived
'jhere rarely complain of the general
5 i treatment of women under Bolshevik
. rule in Petrograd and Moscow. Ac
I -.crding to the refugees and reports
there has been no general applica
‘icn of the much advertised easy di
’ vorce and easy marriage regulations.
The province of Tuia made an at
] tempt to nationalize women, but no
thing came of it. The same result
followed a similar decree issued in
^' Moscow.
However, women have frequently
been subjected to mistreatment, as
illustrated in the town of Briansk.
Troops of the Red Guard army when
they arrived there, requisitioned sixty
! unmarried women and sixty married
women and women of the nobility. In
1 the provinces of Saratov. Volga and
Vladimir the Soviets declared that
men and women had equal rights, and
also that if a person of either sex
was not married that they were obliged
to accept the first offer made public
ly through selections made by con
sulting names posted at Soviet head
! Quarters. The children of such mar
i riages it was decreed, were to become
the property of the state.
Novel Schemes Fail
It was on this theory, it is de
dared, that the childless Mme. Kol
iantay (a prominent Bolsheviki) mar
ried Debenko, at one time the Bolshe
vik Minister of Marine. Mme. Kol
lantay believed that the children of
the bourgeoice. if educated by the
State, would grow up with Bolshevik
ideas.
She also devised a plan to elim
inate maternal affection by forcing
mothers at chillren’s institutions to
nurse indiscriminately any children
there who were not their own. While
‘ she was Minister of Education, Mme.
Kollantay, it is said, was responsible
for a number of such schemes.
The Bolsheviki attempted to please
! women by establishing amusement
centers in the cities and towns, but
this v/as counteracted by the fact
I that the Eolsbeviki closed the stores
and nationalized women's clothes.
The women also held aloof from Bol
shevism because q? the difficulties
. the Soviet government threw around
housekeeping. The peasant women
were cfen beaten by their husbands
Harry F. Morton resigned as Dep
uty United States Marsha] to become
=■ candidate for Chief Clerk of the
House. His successor as Deputy Mar-j
' shal has not been selected. Marshal:
J. M. Tanner is at Skagway, where
Mrs. Tanner is ill.
