PLANNING T0 MERGE | VARIOUS CAMPAIGNS Government Supervision of War Fund Drives Is Recommended Hartford, Aug. 2.—Strong recom mendations that all solicitation o funds for organizations engaged in wuxiliary war work fo be put under careful Government supervision, and th 18 many of the drives and cam paigns as possible be merged, have Been made to the Federal Govern ment by the Connecticut State Coun- ell of Defense. Letters containing the state council's suggestions were thailed some « s ago, and since then announcement has been made public in Washington that the sev- eral organization under the Fosdick | Commission art considering the possi- bility of a merger for the purpose of solicitation of funds. The letter of the State Council of Defense points out the existence of approximately 100 organizations en- gaged in auxiliary war work, all de- | manding financial contributions, and | shys that the situation calls for offi- cial backing. With this statement is the recommendation that a supervis- ing commission be named The | Council points out its belicf that the | only body whose authority and infiti- | ence are sufficient to carry out the suggestion planned is the Council of National Defense, of which the Sec- retary of War is Chairman. Copies of the council's letter and suggestions » sent to members of the cabinet, we | to the Director of the Council of Na- | tional Defense and to the State Coun- | | cils of Defense of all other states in the country. The council’'s letter contains the striking statement that the six or- | yanizations under the Fosdick Com- | mission alone plan, between Septem- ber and January, to ask the people of for more than $200,000,- g this same period, anoth- this countr 000. Dur er Liberty Loan of perhaps $8,000,- | 000,000 is expected and an intensive ; Red Cross membership drive will be | Held. “As a consequence of these | facts,” says the council’s letter, we | fear a feeling of dissatisfaction is be- | ine engendered which may eventually ,‘ interfere with the success of future | endeavors to raise the funds neces- | sary for conducting most important | and essential activities.” The coun- | | feels that there should be greater } | | | | v | | | | frankness in announcing the needs and plans of agencies soliciting sup- port, and that the public should have gome definite guide as to the relative fmportance of the appeals and a ¥nowledge of the administration of duch enormous sums. The Council of National Defense, therefore, is urzed to appoint a commission to furnish both so that this feeling will not eventually interfere with the success | vors of great import- | ot future ende: ghce g | Auxiliary war work orzanizations of the United States fall into these | four classes, the council statement | Points out 1 The Red Cross.

There have been local plans for counteracting the present unsatisfactory system of promiscuous mination to hit upon some plan for a reasonable, uniform, and scientific method of managing war appeals The letter of the council ends This council believes that the sit uation to be extremely serfous and suggests the following outline of a plan as a possible remedy thereof “1. There shall be a supervising 1l prepare and commission which sha iliary war agen- publish a list of au cies entitled to national support. They will state that the sums asked are proportionate to the work accom- | Dlished, guarantee against duplica- | tion of effort, and show administra- tive reliability. This would involve a survey of the agencies and doubtless the co-ordination of some and elim- ination of others The commission would also determine a plan for ap- portioning quotas, such quotas to be based upon itemized budgets, as a over-subseriptio measure “This council further Delieves that the only body whose authority and in- fluence are sufficient to carry out the foregoing or some the Council of National Defense, and respectfully urges upon that body the carnest consideration of the situa- tion hercin outlined and of the sug- gested remedy contained.” H WOMEN WORK $10 PER WEEK Turn Out Messages of Death Tor Germans. Manchester, England, June 17. spondence of The Associated Press.)—The women of England are making the shells with which the Brit enemy, and are doing the work at an h army is beating back the average pay equivalent to $10 a week. The managing director of a big na- | al construction works here is unable to employ domes all the women formerly employed as servants have gone to work in shell factories. When the factory men were called i to the colors, women quietly stepped into their places, The vast majority of the women had neither skill nor train- ing in munitions work, but the factory engineers by installing what is known as single process machines made it possible for the women to do the complicated work that previously only skilled men had been able to accom- plish In a week or ten days a woman learns how to operate a single process machine, She does her work efficiently | and faithfully. Recently in one fac tory the women made 31,000 4.5 inch shells in eighteen weeks and not a flaw could be found in any shell. Many of the women workers before the war were operatives in plants for textile manufacture, the chief industry in this region. In peace time their wages averaged about the equivalent of five dollars a week Now the aver- age is well over ten dollars and, in exceptional cases, fifteen and more, In some factories the women work three shifts of eight hours cach, ro- | tating each week, Their employes | We impose on the foe.
