To defray the expenses of this dinner there will be a Bridge party in the Neighbor-. hood room of Community House on Tuesday, November 4. Tables are to be four dol- lars each. Women who are in- terested are asked to call Mrs, Fred B. Thomas, phone Win- netka 494, and make arrange- ments for a table to help along this good undertaking.

Arar 777777, ON "Only A Dollar A Piece", Is Slogan of Winnetka Red Cross Campaigners Five Thousand women will rally to the Red Cross next week and seek to enroll a half milion memberships for the coming year. In addition to the campaign for memberships a final war fund drive for $1,000,000 will be carried on. That this final appeal for funds to provide for local, national and in- ternational post-war nceds is neces- sary is shown by the budget of the American Red Cross for the coming year which asks $15,000,000 to com- plete its overseas work. The government has intrusted to the Red Cross supplies aggregating more than $35,000,000--the salvage of war--which it is asked to distribute in relief work among the needy peoples of Europe. Much of this material is in medical equipment and perishable merchandise which re- quires the care of experts. Its dis- tribution by the Red Cross will do much to alleviate distress in eastern and southern Europe. Half of the funds which the Chica- go chapter will endeavor to raise in its final war fund drive will meet the quota allotted the chapter by the national organization. Another $600,000 is needed by the local or- ganization to carry on its home serv- ice work among men injured in the war and their families for the dis- aster relief program. A war department order recently issued, requested the withdrawal on November 1 from Fort Sheridan and other army camps, of all welfare or- ganizations with the exception of the Red Cross. This throws the en- tire burden of administering to the 3000 sick and wounded soldiers. whose number is being increased daily, upon the Red Cross as the authorized government agent. ; This work, augmented since the armistice rather than diminished, must continue for a year at least un- til families dis-organized by the ill- ness of service members or by their absence are entirely able to care for themselves. No matter what form of service is renderéd whether voca- tional advice, adjustment of compen- sation claims or temporary loans to meet urgent necessities it is given as a partial return for the patriotic sacrifices of -the men. Home nursing courses to provide adequate training for women throughout the city are being offer- ed in every community where a group of twenty women express a v desire to gain expert knowledge of home care of the sick. Seventeen instructors who are Red Cross nurs- es as well as registered nurses are devoting their, time to this work. All expenses for equipment and tuition are met by the local chapter. A merely nominal enrollment fee of a dollar is asked. There have been 347 graduates in this course during the past year. Special dietetic instruc- tion is included in the 15 lessons in the newly revised course in which 53 classes are now being conducted. A simplified course, adapted to the needs of Junior Red Cross members, was introduced, into seventeen of the city schools on October 14th. Classes for boys have been organized in several schools in the congested districts where in case of illness they are often asked to carry out the doctors instructions. These 69 classes at present limited to the seventh and eighth grades, will carry a message of sanitation and comfort into thousands of homes. ! Even classes for boys have been formed in some of the congested districts where boys often help in nursing the sick. Ld Reorganization of the four base hospitals from Chicago which serv- ed overseas has already been author- ized by Washington 'authorities. Equipment to meet any emergency will be stored in a government ware- house and a personnel of doctors and nurses will be held in reserve for immediate service. Marquis Eaton, chairman of the ~Chicago chapter has already received instruc- tions to .remobilize these hospitals immediately following the campaign. The thousands of members who have proven their loyalty to the Red Cross organization in the past are being relied upon to pledge their be- lief in its future by renewed mem- berships and subscriptions. The drive starts November 2 and continues through November 11, : Mrs. Harry E. William, 650 Sher- idan road, has accepted the chair- manship for Winnetka and will be assisted by a committee of the fol- lowing women! Mesdames Arthur Leon J. Longini, Mabel R. Windes, Fred B. Thomas, Laird Bell, 'J. 'R. Fletcher, Forbes Cadenhead, H. A. deWindt, Lawrence M. Stein, George Massey, Raymond Hardenberg. Mr. William Whitaker will also assist the committee.

Fair ? Eighty members of the Men's club of Winnetka met in one of the most entsusiastic gatherings in the history of the club Monday evening when they heard an able discussion and review of the present day labor situ- ation in thre' United States. Dr. Graham Taylor, labor investi- gator at Gary and other strike cent- ers presented an intimate view of the general labor situation explaining the weaknesses and commendable points. of both labor and capital not failing, as well, to draw conclusions and rec- ommend remedial measures to bridge the gap between the two factions and to bring harmony out of the present chaotic industrial conditions. Need Public Intervention Dr. Graham emphasized above all the positive necessity of public inter- vention in the industrial field. He pointed out that the struggle between capital and labor was hopeless and could never be equitably adjusted without the intervention of the pub- lic. The public, he said, must be the arbiter. The public is the most viltally #ffected by any industrial upheaval. The public suffers most from strikes and lockouts and rep- resents the rank and file of the na- tion, and must take a hand in the matter. Settlement of the Industrial dis- pute must be through regulation through public agencies, said Mr. Taylor, after asserting that he did not imply by that statement gov- ernment ownership or management, to both of which he expressed op- position, but, rather, regulation with the regulation of public utilities and matters pertaining to the rail- roads. Legislation Necessary Dr. Taylor also stated that addi- tional legislation looking toward regulation of wages and labor condi- tions was also essential. The speaker stated he was neither for nor against the open or closed shop, adding that local conditions were the criterion in that regard. He asserted that, in his opinion, while the steel strike is a failure president Gary had been unfair in his deter- mination not to meet the workers halfway on a basis of compromise. He expressed himself as favorable to the action of the Labor group at the recent Washington Industrial con- ference where, he said, capital had contrived to read a sinister meaning into the labor resolutions. Dr. Taylor told of his interviews 'with labor leaders, pickets, military commanders and Steel- company of- ficials at Gary. He stated further that | he found in some instances men were | forced to work on twenty-four hour shifts and on the twelve hour day basis. His final conclusion was that the labor group must be given a square deal, that conditions universally should be such as to make unneces- sary sympathetic strikes in the future though often they had ben warranted in the past. 2 NEW TAXI CONCERN The Reliable Taxi Service, Winnet- ka's latest taxicab concern, began operation in the Village this week. R. F. Hudson and Adam Scott are the proprietors of he business. They will give day and night service. Head- quarters are at 806 Oak street. WILL YOU HAVE, ONE FORT SHERIDAN MAN FOR THANKSGIVING?
