Wages of Women and Children.

That memorial which the Woman's
National Industrial league has sent to
the senate is rather serious and solemn
document.
1t refers to the wages paid to women
and children who work in factories,
and its statements ire startling. NO
wonder Mr.. Plumb asked that the COM
mittee on education and labor be in
structed to ascertain the truth Of the
charges.
The memorial asserts that in many of
our wooden mills children only get thir-
ty-fve cents day. and their mothers
seventy-five cents: that the New York
women who make trousers get pit
lance Of twelve cents pair: that wo'
mans wages in the mills of Pennsylva-
mia are from forty-seven to fifty-fve
cents day, and that 10000 girls in
Massachusetts. working long hours, can
barely earn enough to keep body and
soul together.

it is at our very doors. New York

be to retain by law in the hands of some

other iron barons Of Pennsylvania get

more for iron and steel than they would
if they could buy it in the open market

manufacturers to their workingmen.

DAvITT'S SALUTATORY.
The Programme Laid Down by the Great
Irl>hman in His New Labor Paper.

The Programme Laid Down by the Great
Iri-hman In His New Labor Paper.
The Labor World, Michael Davitt's
paper, which has been announced for
some time. has made its appearance in
London. A dispatch says immense or
ders for the paper have been received by
cable from America and elsewhere. The
Labor World resembles Ths Pail Mall
Gazette in size and form, with sixteen
neatly printed pages. five narrow col
umns to the page.
Its salutatory editorial contains the
following:
The Labor World begins its career at
a time when working men and women
are no longer required to beg for the ad-
vocacy Of their interests in the press.
Nevertheless we have the ambition to
become of some service to the cause now
enlisUing under its banner some of the
foremost writers of the day.
Now, what is it that they want? What
does the new progressive labor move
ment demand? Its claims may perhaps
be summed up under three heads:
ElToC-1U dohS lOI a OCIUcI anu
democratic organization of labor.
Second-It demands that to the COM
munity, not to the landlord. shall accrue
that immense annual increment due to
general industry and enterprise; and
Third-It calls for an extension of
state and municipal control and owner
ship of such monopolies as can be man
aged by public bodies in the public in
terest.
Under the first head will come ade-
quate inspection of all factories and
workshops by practical working men and
women and the reduction of the hours of
labor wherever possible. Wecan scarcely
estimate fully the immense benefits
which people may derive from shorten
ing the hours of their long and monot-
onous toll.
Under the second head will come the
taxation of ground values to be applied
for the purposes Of public improvement
and the absorption by the state of min
ing royalties. In London alone we pay
this year to the grand landlords els, 000.-
900 merely for the permission to live here.
This huge sum is not paid for any value
received. 1t is fine levied on labor and
inventions by men who have never raised
a finger to earn it, and which is increas-
ing at such a rate as to render their pos
SCISSORS rich beyond all the dreams of av-
arice. Wealth thus poured unjustly into
private Golfers might, if put to public
purposes, render this huge city Of Lon
don the most attractive city in the
world, and the great purposes to which
it should be put are the provision of
healthy dwellings and rational recre-
alton and instruction for the people.
Under the third head comes the absorb
ton by public bodies of such institutions
as markets, docks, harboIs, gas and water
and electric lighting works, railways,
tramways. omnibuses and other means
of transit. The public should run these
necessary monopolies and should no Ion
ger permit private people to make rent
and profits out of them. The country or
town councils should Immediately con-
troll. and then own and administer. these
and other useful and necessary institu-
tions.
Such. broadly speaking, are the re-
forms we advocate

not TO his insensibility, but rather to his
sense of exact justice. He cannot be
made to understand that the demands of
courtesy should contribute to her advan-
tage SO long as she assumes the attitude of
a competitor and makes no return for con-
sideration shown. In short, the decline
of civiiity to American women is largely
due to the fact that they have resented
its extension as an impeachment of
their individuality, independence and self
reliance. They have declared that they
are able to take care of themselves, and
men have resolved TO give them free
field for the experiment. Nevertheless,
we agree with our contemporary that sit
is deplorable" that this is true. That it
is the function of gentleman to be gen.
tlemanly is an axiom, and in no way
is the gentlemanly quality SO well
tested as in the conduct of man toward
woman as the weaker vessel. When that
is not high proof it will be found that the
man is also less courteous to men; that he
is wanting in the urbanity and politeness
that should prevail among gentlemen.
Indeed, as the respect for woman in public
declines, the coarseness of men among men
augments, and their behavior toward each
other is attuned to the standard of the
''care-for-number-one" principle. regardless
Of what becomes of number two.

IS crv1IITY TO WOMAN DECLINING ?

The New York Tribune is troubled of
soul over the decline of courtesy among
Americans. 1t starts out with the pre-
mise that the New Yorker is typical
American. representing the best there Is of
gentility and good breeding in this coun-
try, and then proceeds to prove that he is
not as a rule perhaps, but to a degree
humiliating to local pride, boor The
charge is made extendedly and in detail
that he refuses to give place to women in
the street-cars; he elbows and jostles them
on the walkway; he cares nothing that
Gladly" is close behind him when he passes
through swinging-door he is generous
to a fault, but it is to himself; as clerk
he lacks politeness when dealing with
women, as a business man he accords
them no more attention than he does to
men; he has no computations Of gentil-
ity" in sitting in crowded ferry-boat
while women stand; he holds to his own
on a street crossing and calmly sees a
woman step off into the mud that he may
pass over dry shod. What is the meaning
of all this asks the Tribune. 1t comedies
that the old excuse is inadequate, that as
men and communities grow in wealth,
politeness decays, and courtesy and re-
gard for ones neighbors go to seed. Ii
must be then, it concludes, that as woman
has become so self-reliant, man has made
up his mind to accept her at her own yalu-
alton. And it adds:
The natural outcome OF this revision Of the
estimate of woman is that men, unconscioIsly
it may be- reason that women no longer need
the consideration which they commanded
when their sex was a synonym ior WEAKNESS les
reasons for the decline OF courtesy, the thing II
self is most deplorasle
Our contemporary has reached the true
solution of the matter. Woman is alone
to blame for the decline OF politeness
towards her. In some degree her self
reliance has led her to abuse the privi-
leges of courtesy to the sex; she has not
returned it with the acknowledgment that
is costless but sufficient; she has insisted
upon entering the very storm eenters OF
trade and business, and men have resolved
that she shall bear an equal share of It's
inclemency and accept equally with him
the rigors of such conditions. She has SO
persistently and generally supplanted
young men in commercial and clerical
employments as to cultivate among her
sex distaste for the home realm and
the arts of housewifery. That man is
lacking in old-time civility to her is due
