INEQUALITY IN WAGES.


A Disadvantage Under which working
Women Arc Compelled to Labor.
There is no doubt that much Of the
poorly paid work OF women is poor
work and does not deserve good wages,
says Alice Stone Blackwell, in Northern
Christian Advocate. Parents do not
yet realize that every girl as we'll as
every boy ought to learn some trade by
which she can earn living in case OF
need. Hence multitude Of women
find themselves thrown on the world
without the knowledge how to do one
thing well. and they have to take the
low pay which is all that their amateur
work is worth. Unskilled labor can
not expect the same pay as skilled la
bor 1t is not this OF which the advo-
Gates OF equal rights complain. Our
plea is Equal pay for equal work, +"
not Equal pay for. inferior work. y
And women do not generally get equal
pay with men in those cases where they
render equal or even superior work.
The most common example of un-
equal pay for equal work is the pay
given to teachers An experienced
and successful woman. who has made
teaching her life-work. receives less
pay than young and inexperienced
man who takes it up temporarily as a
stepping-stone to the bar or the pulpit
1t is idle to say that the difference here
is owing to the quality of the work
done The inequality in pay exists
even where the woman may be in cv-
erybody's opinion the better teacher
.T The Government sets the example.
In the departments at Washington the
women clerks get about half the pay
that is required by men clerks for the
same amount and kind of labor A few
DAYS ago Senator told me that he had
been all through the departments and
had been struck by this inequality.
DO the women do as good work as the
men, he asked. He was assured that
they did. In the Treasury Department
one woman was pointed out to hin
who was an expert in the detection O
counterfeit bills Her skill was mar

A Power for Evil.

The evil wrought by alcoholic drink
is now acknowledged and proclaimed
by all the organs of public opinion. 1t
undermines health, enfeebles the
will, coarsens the mind and inflames
animal passions. 1t separates hus-
bands and wives. divides families and
depriyes children of the home influ-
ence which nothing else can supply.
1t lowers the standard of morals, fills
prisons and insane asylums with It's
victims and feeds the germs of corrup-
ton in the body polite. 1t is. in
word, the cause of the occasion of four
ffths of the crime by which cur Ma
tional life is disgraced.- Bishop
Spalding.

velous, and no man in the department
could come near her in this line. Yot
she received less pay than any OF the
men. One Of the male clerks fell i'll
and his wife took his place as his sub
stitute. He fingered on for year and
half, during which time she did his
work and drew his pay IN his name as
his substitute. Then he died. Her
work had been satisfactory, and she
was appointed as his successor. The
work of the position continued the
same but from the moment that she
drew her pay in her own name, and
not as his substitute, the salary was
cut down one-half. '' I'
1t is unfortunate that the massing Of
men in the West and OF women in the
East should make it impossible for
many women to marry. It is still more
unfortunate that many married women
should be forced to become bread-win
ners, owing to the death of their hus-
bands, or to their unwillingness or ina
bility to provide for the family. But,
since multitude of women are obliged
to earn bread for themselves, and often
for others dependent upon them. no
artificial disadvantages ought to be inn
posed upon their labor. They should
be allowed to do any kind of work they
can do well. and should be paid for it
at It's fair value, whatever that may be.
The gifted sculptor should not lose the
reward of her genius because OF her
sex, nor should the school teacher,
clerk or saleswoman have to deduct a
discount from her salary merely be-
cause she is woman. IDS.

A Protective Policy.

John Fitzgerald, in an article on the
labor question, published in the New
York Mail, and Express, says that there
are 500, 600 women in New York City
working for very little wages and un-
der very difficult and obnoxious condi-
TONS That it is now zone of the aims
OF the leaders OF organized labor to put
women on level with men in wages
when the woman does a mans work.
This. he says, gI ff aosa's 4si 70
rs policy Of self.protection.' In some Of the
trades, notably the printers, women have de.
veloped as much dexterity as men, Manifestly
the men can not keep the women out. and log
ically they can not afford to have women work
ing for less than they work for, for that would
bring down wages. So they did something bet
ter. They brought the women into the fold.'

their unions, on the ground that such
action would be disastrous, but refused

SHAME on the man who says the po-

yet pretends to be Christian, and
never raises his voice to take up the
keynote Of the golden rule, without

Gen. Harrison is now thoroughly and COM
pletely elected to the presidency The electoral
votes were counted to-day, and to nobody's
great surprise the republican candidate was
found to be victorious. Twice the electoral
rotes have failed to decide the presidential
contest, and once the result has been disputed.
On these occasions deep interest attached to
the proceedings corresponding to those of to-
day, and struggles in Congress followed. But
the path Of the twenty-third President has
been smooth No voting could be more quiet
and uneventfui than that Of the electoral coll
leges, Of which the result was declared TODAY.
The unexcited public has pursued its custom
airy svocations over the whole republic, and

day Of the final act Of the presidential contest

The real issue between the Commissions,

The real issue between the Commissioner
and the critics of their methods of purchasing
school sites is whether the District agents have
been paid money by the District, and no,
whether negotiations for such purchases would
not in some instance be most advantageously
conducted by agents. A decision Of the latter
question in the affirmative would suggest legis.
ton authorizing the employment Of agents in
such cases, and at a reasonable compensation
for the future. The Commissioners admit
that under the present law the paid employ
ment of such agents is illegal, in the sense
Of being unauthorized by statute, and
content themselves with claiming that the COM
pensation to these intermediates has not been
paid by the District But the statements and
evidence in the matter show unmistakably that
the District taxpayers have made these pay
ments, the compensation Of the intermediary
Increasing by its exact amount in most cases
the price paid by the District. For the
future 1t 10 proposed by some to give the
District certain powers Of condemnation
In acquiring building sites. An alternative
plan, IL the use Of agents is thought advisable
in some cases and the condemnation procedure
b disapproved, would be to authorize the
employment of such an agent in necessary
instances only and at not more than the usual
compensation When one or two persons are
habitually employed as middlemen, as in the
past, they are soon recognized as representa-
tives Of the District by real estate men, and
the desired secrecy is lost. In many cases
where the section is unimproved school
building is an advantage to neighboring prop
erty, attracting settlement In all cases it is, of
course, the owner of the desired lots who sells
and nos'adjoining property-owncrs and where
the former announces by advertisement a de-
sire to dispose of his property at a stated
price to anybody who comes, or makes direct
proposal to sell through his own agent to the
Commissioners, evidently no high-priced inter-
mediary is required by the District. The in
stances IN which secrecy in a purchase by the
District is desirable will be very rare, and if
paid agents are prohibited altogether, the
friendly Office Of closing the trade might be
performed by some one for the District with
out cost to the taxpayers,-perhaps for share
with the owners agent in the selling commits
sion. It is not necessary that the
friend Of the Commissioners who does
this infrequent favor for them should be
put In the way of making from
several hundred to thousand dollars at the
Districts expense in every purchase of build
ing site, no matter what the circumstances, or
that the title to the property bought should be
complicated by the Intervention of merely
nominal intermediate purchasers between the
owner and the District. But whatever rule
in regard to the employment of agents is made
for the future. the questions whether extrava-
CANT and Illegal payments have not been made
In the past. and whether they cannot be re-
covered for the benefit of the District taxpayer
viii remain unanswered by the proposed legis-
lation.
