Taking Extraordinary Precautions Since Attack On Morgan. Tarrytown, July 7.--John D Rockefeller had planned to go to Cleveland to-night, but the shooting of J' P. Morgan at his home at Glen Cave has changed his plans and the trip has been declared off indefinite- ly. Mr. Rockefeller has also closed his estate tight and the same pre- cautions are now taken as when the LW.W. were anmoying his son a year ago. Orders were issued this morning that no one but employees be allowed to enter the gates for several months. The people of Pocantico. Hill and anyone who was known to the guards were allowed to walk through the estate, but the orders have been re- scinded and the guards have been doubled. It is unlikely now that Mr. Rockefeller will go to Cleveland, for he has not the protection there. Since the LW.W. trouble he has baiilt be' walls around his grounds and on top of them has placed an iron fence, on the top of which is a double row of barbed wire. In front of each entrance are two gates, on top of which also is barbed wire. This extra precaution has been tak- en 80 that while a man might force himself by the guard at the frst gate, he could not get by the sec- ond, for one gate is locked and chained all the time.

London, June 25. --(Correspond- ence of The Associated Press). --The British Ministry has promised the National Union of Railway Men that at the end of hostilities the railway men serving with the armed forces will obtain jobs équal to these they gave. up. At the same time, J. H. Thomas, M.P., Secretary of the un- lon, says he is extremely uneasy over the problem of women railway work- ers. In a speech at a meeting of the men in Nottingham, he said: "I am protoundly copvinced that you have to face the fact thatfemale labor has come to stay. Therefore we live got to make up our .minds upon one 'or two things. First, what grades would it be dangerous for female labor tg be engaged in; second, whatever grades they work (in, they must not bg used as a means of reducing the prices that we have secured for particular grades by years of agitation. What we have to say is that no woman's labor is to be made the means of reducing the status of any grade in the railway service." According to Mr. Thomas, there are certain classes of railway work | which women are unable to perform, | 2nd women are not proving satisfac- tery in all the positions that have been opened for them. In short, there are two courses 'open to the unions--either to refuse to allow the experiment of women workers altogether, as has been dons in some places by the street car men, or to devote the union's energies to insisting upon the maintenance of the standard wages. Most of the speakers favored the latter procedure urging that, "while the trade union- Ist cannot, without stultifying his own principles, protest - against fe- male labor, he has every right to pro- test against female labor which is merely cheap labor under an alias, and it is in the interest of the coun- try that he should so protest." The only Government department which has hfade any wholesale effort to avail itself of the large amount of female labor at its disposal to take the place of men in military service is the Post Office. The department now has 3,000 new women employ- ees in the various branches of its work throughout the country. Of the 170,000 men employed by the Post Office before the war, 37,- 000 have joined the army. In the fural districts women have been em- ployed in a limited way as letter car- riers for some years past; they have now been introduced isto some of the small towns and citieg. Other places which are being opened to women are those of the mail sorters and messengers. Girl telegraph messen- gers, mounted on bicy ; dually taking ) messengers, and a Post Office's telegr: 8 being done by young women. Women clerks and accountants have been introduc- ed for the first time into the London General Post Office, On the authority of a high postal official, it is stated that the reports from all 'quarters are to the effect that the work of the womén who have been engaged to replace men has been extremely well dome. "They work quickly and accurately, and they are very consciousness," says one report. . Women letters carriers will be seen in the suburban districts 'of Lond within a few weeks. Candi- dates for "these posts have already) been called for from the Government labor exchanges. Women are as common & sight in English fields now as in the Contin- ental countries.
