Dear Friend: At a meeting of the Central Committee, held yesterday it was decided unanimously to accept your invitation to hold the Conference of 1920 at Cape May July 7th to 14th. Lovingly JOSEPHINE H. TUBON, Secretary. It is gratifying to know that Cape May is‘ the only place that has secured this conference twice in succession. Mr. Ogden has had frequent con ferences with the officials and though other places have tried to Podieroc away, the satisfactory experience of 1916 has made possible the decision to come again for 1920, bntombinstdcenmenmnd AN AVAILABLE REMEDY Perhaps 500,000 employees of the Federal government could be . dispensed with and never missed in any particular | way. | This would | send back to the South a great army of men and women who would at once velieve the shortage of labor in this section and add to its wealth.
