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,
tions." That it is now lone of the aims
of the leaders Of organized labor to pu,
women on a level with men in wages
when the woman does a mans work. "
This. he says,
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 bot
ter. They brought the women into the fold"
1t has not been very many years
since in the printers and other trades
not only declined to admit women to
their unions. on the ground that such
action would be disastrous, but refused
to work in offices and shops where wom-
en- received as much wages as men
for the same amount of work. The
workingmen are learning as they go.
and some of these days they will reach
point where they will see that it Is
also "a policy of self-protection" to put
women on a level with men in the mat
ter OF suffrage. -Woman's Journal.

Industrial Education.

girls is astir all over the country. The

ton is contemplated at Chicago. About

left large estate, which was to be used
in establishing and endowing FREQ

This fund, in the hands of the trustees.
has increased to a million dollars, and
work on the school will soon begin. No
effort will be spared to make the school
one Of the very best, with competent
instructors and all facilities and appli-
ances to give it's pupils the finest pos
sible training that may make them
self-supporting and independent Last,
but not least, every department will be
open to girls and boys on equal terms.
No distinction will be made. So say

It 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 we'll. and should be paid for it
at its fair value. whatever that may be.

cause she is a woman.

INEQUALITY IN WAGES
A Disadvantage Under Which Working
Women Are Compelled to Labor.

| a
Women Are 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 well as
every boy ought to learn some trade by
which she can earn living in case Of
need. Hence a 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
Dor. 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"
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 ev-
erybody's opinion the better teacher.
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 him
who was an expert in the detection of
counterfeit bills Her skill was mar
velous, and no man in the department
could como near her in this line. Yet
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 a 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

VALUE OF AMBITION.

A Species OF Discomfort Which Makes the
World Better and Wiser.
1t is a general complaint, except
among the extremely wealthy, that it
is perpetual struggle to earn liv-

Yet it is probably harder to keep up
appearances than it is to get a living.
The striving for appearances is per-

About Wet and Dry Feed.

Having tried both methods, we can
not see any perceptible difference. and
prefer the dry system always for its
convenience. Years ago sloppy food

food was conducive to a larger milk

The best system devised was cut hay,
moistened with water, and meal and

bulk and aided digestion. Such feed is

you can feed a complete ration with
very little labor. Wet feed must be
mixed every morning. Sometimes the
meal runs short, at other times the
bran is not at hand, and then again the
oats have not been ground; SO it is
really safer to try the dry method up
to the fattening time. When ready to fat
