Alleging that hundreds of negro
women are refusing to work because
they are able to live on allowances
given them by the government
through relatives being drafted, the
Chamber of Commerce at Pine Bluff
has started a move to have the “work
or fight” order applicable to women
as well as men. The allotments of
$25 or more a month causes many ne
gro women to refuse to work on the
farms or as domestic servants. This
state of affairs is the case, no doubt,
all over the south, in all cities es
pecially.
The Jackson County Chapter of
the American Red Cross will make
its seventh shipment of hospital gar
ments tomorrow and the knitting
unit will make its eleventh shipment.
The local chapter is appreciative of

Adam Lockard for the use of a type
writer in the work rooms. The la
dies yesterday enjoyed a visit from
Mrs. Quinn, Mrs. T. E. Dudley and
Miss Jessie Dudley, living near town,
also from Miss Berthal Flowers of
Pleasant Plains.

Dear Mother:
We are safely snugged in France.
I am feeling fine andn am glad to get
to halt for awhile. Some trip! Mo
ther; I know you are glad to have a
boy to help do our part in this great
struggle. But mother, if you could
only see these poor poeple over here
| you would be sorry that you had only
one boy to give our Uncle Sam.
All the little boys that can should
er a gun are in line with a trench
; uniform on, helping to fight for a
i great cause. The poor women and
l girls are doing railroad work such
as flagmen do and section hands, and
all other kinds of hard work that
men heretofore had done. They live
hard and don’t have much to eat.
They all treat us like kings.
Mamma write me ofter for it takes
so long for our mail to get here.
Give my regards to Mr. and Mrs.
Williams and tell them to hug and
kiss Vermelle for me.
Your son,
