EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK.
Keynote of the Morning Session of the
Women's Council.

w omen s Council.
The committee on equal pay for equal
work had the floor at the morning session,
and the subject proved amost fruitful theme
for discussion. Before the regular pro-
gramme was taken up, however, President
Sewall introduced Mrs. Josefa Humpall
ZemamaS, of Hull House, vice president
for bohemia in the Interpational Council,
who brought greetings from the women OF
her nationality. The Working Women's
Society of New York was also represented
by fraternal delegate, Mrs. Harriet A.
Keyser.
The first speaker was Mrs. Harriet A.
Shin, of Chicago, delegate of the National
Association of Stenographers. Her sub
lect was woman as a factor in the modern
business world" Shere presentedmore than
1000, 600 business women, she said.
Financial depression or family poverty
was claimed to be the cause of w0man's
entrance into the activity of life. There is
no longer any doubt that she is a factor in
the commercial prosperity of the country.
Nhen she strikes out to take care OF herself
il becomes necessary for her to look uponlife
as 1t really is, but she needs encouragement
from her sisters and from men as well. The
woman in business learns to test theories
and determine their value by logic and not
statement. However extensive her influ-
ence may be, business woman, Mrs. Shin
maintained, needs the ballot to perfect her
influence
The discussion was opened by Miss Mary

From ever quarter of the country.
east, west, north and south, come the
tidings of revived business and in
creased commercial prosperity. Nor is it
in one line only, but in all. The products
of the farm and of the mine, of the
plantation and of the mill, have all gone
hand in hand toward higher prices. aud
all the pulses of trade are beating with
accelerated force. Money the barometer
of business, is rapidly being withdrawn
from its hiding places and seeking invest
ment in safe enterprises and adventures,
and confidence is daily being restored.
The advance of wages in the manfactur-
ing industries is becoming so common
as no longer to create surprise at the an
nOuncement.
The cotton mills of the south are not
only paying better wages than before.
but are charging their force and capacity
at the same time, and new mills are being
| built i'm Arkansas and Louisiana. In
Alabama and Tennessee the coal and iron
trades are Oh better footing than in past
years, and in one county alone of Ala
bama the coal output for this year will
exceed the whole product of the state fol
1894.
Here in Chicago the Illinois Steel
Company has advanced wages 10 pei
cent, which affects some 1000 employees
| while its business has so increased that
the contracts now made cover all the
product it can manufacture in the mex
three months.
The Pittsburg district shows the same
condition of affairs, of increased wage!
and enlarged output, while at Port Ches'
ter, n. Y, the bolt and nut works are
running to their full capacity.
What has occurred in the cotton and
iron industries may also be noted in thu
pottery manufacture. At Wheeling and
at Trenton wages haye been advanced
from 10 to 40 per cent and the capacity
of the works has been greatly enlarged.

taxable. After two years and half O
