NEW YORK, Dec. "a crusade against
men who make insulting advances to
women who appear in the streets with

fight will be undertaken by women.
They propose to combat what they con-
slider greater evil than the soliciting of
men by women.
My heart fairly burned with indigna-
ton when read of the proposed plan of
the City Vigilance league to encourage
unfortunate women to make advances
and then to cause their arrest" said a
prominent woman physician yesterday,
"and at the same time pass unnoticed the
dozens-yes, scores-of men who insult
women openly.
ARE women-the sisters, wives and
mothers of New York's best citizens-to
be left unprotected, while the men are
hedged around and protected from the
advances of designing women? It seems
to me that it is pretty weak kneed man
who cannot take care of himself. Wo-
men, not men, need protection, Not that
any respectable woman would be led
astray by these men who speak to them
in the streets, but in the very nature of

WASHINGTON. Dec. "A Washin gton
gentleman who has spent week hunt
ing up in the Blue Ridge in the vicinity
of Front Royal is authority for a most
interesting story in regard to the present
whereabouts and operations of Carl
Browne, who became cons picuous as.the
aid and son-in-law of Coxey, the labor
agtator. After marrying Coxey's daugh-
Ter and making his home for several
weeks in Washington, Browne betook
himself 10 Virginia, and, it is said, be-
of Capt. o. c. Cullen. On the mountain
farm where Cullen built his hotel are
several old abandoned log houses, nearly
fallen to the ground. In one OF these
Browne has made his home.
Pursuing his aptitude for caricature
and sensational pamphleteering, Browne
has spotted the mountain roadsldes and
woodlands with his peculiar handbills,
exhortinE the mountaineers to rally
around his standard and become soldiers
in the army of industrial protest and re-
form.
The simple-minded mountain folk, to
whom a few words ritten or printed on
white paper are rs magic. have respond
ed, and many of them have enrolled
themselves under his command. For
several weeks they have attended regu-
lar drills with arms on one of the level
mountain benches

ton is the statement of the station agent
at Riverton that Browne few days ago
received two hundred stand of arms.

women and children receive may ex-
ceed the wages they received years
ago, they are not equal to the former
wages Of the men whom they have
displaced, and the effect OF these
changes must be considered in MAX
ing up a general verdict upon the
subject.
(5) It is not fair, in making a gen.
eral estimate of the condition and
circumstances of American working
men, to leave out of the calculation
the vast army of men who have no
employment at all. We need not
stop here to discuss the causes of en-
forced idleness. The SIMPLE fact
that millions of men are unable to
find work a. any. price is sufficient in
the present case. Including this
vast army of idlers, can the Voice
say that American workingmen "are
better fed and better clothed than
ever. ..before?"
In the editorial under .considers-
ton the Voice indicates its purpose
to pursue the subject further, and we
hope in doing so it will consider the
suggestions here offered and modify
its conclusions accordingly. We do
not see how it can avoid doing SO.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

The supreme court Of Illinois has
decided the fifth section of the sweat
shop law unconstitutional. This Sec
tion reads:
No female shall be employed in any fac
tory or work shop more than eight hours in
any one day, or forty-eight hours in any
one week.
The ground of the decision is that
"woman has the same rights as man
to make contracts, and that 1t is an
infringement Of her rights gusran-
teed by the constitution to say that
she cannot work as many hours IN a
day as she may be inclined TO-"
It Is remarkable what high re-
gard the courts have for the cOnsti-
tutional rights of labor in certain
cases. The right Of contract, for in
stance, must not be interfersd with,
though everyone knows that the
right of contract means the right OF
capital in all cases to impose any
conditions it may desire upon labor,
simply because labor, unprotected, is
powerless to reject the provisions Of
such contract, whatever they may be.
In the present state of society, with a
limited market for labor and thou
sands of idle men and women snx-
iously seeking opportunity to earn
bread, there is no such thing as free.
dom of contract in the ranks of la.
Dor, and it is worse than nonsense to
talk about it.
Everyone knows that all the laws
of every state limiting the hours of
labor have been enacted at the in.
stance of labor, and not at the IN
stance of capital; and the hypocriti.
cal pretense that the decision in
question is in the interest of the
overworked women in the sweat
shops is too apparent to need to be
pointed not. Was the case in which
this decision was rendered carried up

PRICES AND WAGES.

Upon CnlS suDlecG IL appears 70 uS
the New York Voice gets somewhat
mixed in it's issue SOf March z. It
publishes a diagram designed to show
"relstive prices in gold, relative
wages IN gold, and relative purchss-
ing power of ten hours labor for the
past fiity.three years" 1t also has a
table designed to show relative
prices and wages in currency, gold
and silver and purchasing power Of
q days labor"
Summing up it's conclusions from
the data presented, the Voice edi-
torlslly says:
The tremendous increase in the puFChss-
ing power Of wages since 1866 is another re-
markable condition shown by the diagram.
This is due in but small part to fall in
prices. Chiefly 10 is due 10 the rapid in
crease of wages. The multiplication by
machinery, of mans facilities for pFoduC-
tion and distributed and the influence OK
erbed by labor organizations enter in here
as probably Che chief factors in causing the
rise. The average ten hour wages will
command to-day, or would in 1892, about
three times as much in the comforts and
nscessariss Of life (bsFring Fent) as in 1865,
and nearly two and half times as much as
in 1910.
Now If we are not misinformed,
the tables from which the Voice de-
rives its data are defective In that
they do not include all grades of Ia.
Dor and cannot therefore represent 3
fair average. AS a rule these tabu-
lated statistics relate to wage earners
in factories, ia shops, in the employ
Of transportation companies, and, in
general, in such departments Of the
field of labor as represent chiefly the
membership of the various labor or
ganizations. These embrace but
comparatively q small part Of Ameri-
can toilers. There is no doubt that
in certain fields Of labor which might
be specified there has been an actual
increase in wages, and Of course
there has been an increase in the pur-
chasing power of dollars, that makes
it possible to purchase more commodi-
ties with the same number OF them
than in 1866. There is one very inn
portsnt fact, however, in this connec-
tion that the Voice should not over
look in the treatment of this part of
its subject. A dollar will not pay
any more debt nor any more taxes
now than it would in 1866.
There are several questions that
must be considered in arriving at cor
rect conclusions upon this subject of
wages and the relative purchasing
power Of a days labor.
~ Il will not do to take the nomi-
nal price paid in any department Of
labor simply for q days work as the
basis of q calculation relative to its
purchasing power. There are other
elements that must enter into this
calculation or the conclusions will be
