Democrats Make Halting Starts Toward Reorganization
Washington, Feb 5. Democrats began reorganization under Chairman White who formed an executive committee.

White is viewed as Cox loyal, while anti-Cox leaders press for full national committee action and broader party unity to present a united opposition.

President Wilson vetoes joint resolution for smaller army
President Wilson vetoed a joint resolution directing the War Department to halt recruiting until the force falls to 175,000 men. He said no change in world conditions justifies reducing the minimum enlisted strength of 280,000 and warned that a 175,000 cap would leave combatant units understaffed and disrupt training and readiness. He recalled the 1930 reorganization aiming for about 280,000 with new arms and a tactical structure.

Plans for Women Wage Control Sparked in Iowa Reform
Des Moines reports an Iowa House bill by Representative Hills calls for a state women’s wage commission to oversee wages and hours of women and minors. It would empower wage boards to set minimum wages where needed, with records to be kept by employers and access granted to the commission. Bliss Rankin aided the campaign. Other measures seek highway system relief, inheritance tax adjustments, and extending veterans’ preferences. The Cessna bill on women jurors continues to face debate over constitutionality and equality.
