HUNDREDS DISAPPOINTED National Museum Not Nearly Large Enough to Hold Crowds. Notables Present. ‘Washington's need of a great audi- torium for national and international gatherings, which will be supplied with the completion of the victory memorial building, unexpectedly was made a feature of the exercises at- tending the laying of the corner stone for the building yesterday afternoon. “Rain fdrced an eleventh-hour change in the plans for holding the cere- “monial on the memorial site, at 6th end B streets northwest, necessitat- ing the pressing into service of the National Museum as a place of shel- ter for those invited to the exercises, Here the limited seating capacity of the auditorium was not sufficient 5 accommodate the crowd, and many persons were turned away. Every Beat in the auditorium was filled, and in each aisle was a line of citizens that extended to the stage. Seldom. if ever, has President Hard- ing addressed a more enthusiastic audience. His utterances were re- peatedly applauded. Nor were Ad- nfral Coontz and Gen. Pershing, the other speakers, slighted in this re- spect. Departs From Prepared Address. At the very outset, the President wmade a departure from his prepared address, when he took occasion to compliment American womanhood for its having undertaken to provide this memorial to the brave sons and daughters of the republic. He said: “One cannot well imagine a more ‘beautiful plan of grateful remem- ‘brance, a more appropriate memorial than is contemplated in the great building whose corner stone we are laying today. And I thought during the preceding addresses whence could come so beautiful a thought and through what agency could it be ful- filled other than that of a noble American womanhood.” ‘Again, at th.gronclusion of the ex- ercises, and 2.8 he had placed in the cornerstone box cmblems of some of the milestones in the nation’s life, the President voiced, extemporané- ously, the hope “that when a suc- ceeding posterity shall turn to the contents of this box, which so fitting- 1y express our memorials and aspira- tions and thoughts of today, that pos- terity shall be living in the fulfill- ment of the best aspirations of the American heart, in that wonderful advancement which can’ only come for a just and righteous humankind."

The undertaking, he said. is both a patriotic and prac- tical one and will be of benefit to the nation and civilization. Admiral Coontz, the first speaker, eommended the plan to insert in the @ome of the building four -million tars representing the men and wom- en who wore the American uniform in He drew a picture of future Americans visiting Wash- fngton to look upon these memorials o the heroic deeds of their fore- thers. -y There was prolonged and deafening pplause when Gen.

NEW YORK, November 15.—Man- agers of fifty-two railroads, covering the territory east of the Mississippi river and north of the Ohio river, to- day began mailing notices to the va- rious classes of railroad employes, calling for conferences to consider re- adjustments in wages. In addition to the wage notice a separate notice will advise the train service men that the managers de- agreements, particularly those deal- ing directly or indirectly with com- WORK BEGUN ONMODEL WAREHOUSE i'r"i'ffl"firi'fi"e‘fiii Dfl:‘l’:;fie!&'}‘!.l“y part {sire to revise their working rules and At present the prohiition depart- ment has three large warerooms fllled |pensation. liquors, wines, whiskies and other similar lubricants for joy-dispensing nerves Conterences Soon. Conferences with employes in all cases are expected to get under way immediately after the expiration of the thirty-day notice. The plan is to revamp the present rairoad working agreement which each road has negotiated individual- Jy with its train service employes, in jorder to work for “greater econo- mies.” There are 140 different items of rules and conditions to be consid- ered for these emploves, and under the existing contracts the roads are permitted to make a change only after the usual thirty-day notice. Pay Cuts Planned. According to the original plan an- nounced by the executives, the train service employes will be asked to take a reduction in wages of 10 per cent, while the shop crafts and un- Skilled workers' pay will be cut to the going rate paid for the same class of work in other industries. . At the expected refusal of the employes to accept this program, the disputed cases will be filed immediately with the Railroad Labor Board, which will be asked to take early action. The executive committee of the As- sociation of Railway Executives will Submit a report of its recent confer- ence with the Interstate Commerce Commission to & meeting of the mem- ber roads of the association to be held here tomorrow. —_————— More women than men get divorces in New York.
