Political equality is an industrial
lever. The elective franchise has MADE
it possible for men to organize for in
dustrial interests The onward prog
ress of industrialism is hindered. be-
cause the DISTINGUISHED woman, po-
litical cipher, works by the side of the
enfranchised man. a political unit, at
a lower rate of wages, except under
closely organized union conditions,
such as the cigarmakers, where wo-
men receive the same wages as men.
Some declare that industrial organ
ization is sufficient. But women do
not and will not, without the franchise,
organize to any great extent Women
lack courage just as disfranchised men
were lacking in that trait OF charac-
ter. The man finds necessary for his
industrial life the ballot and the trades
union. Why should it be thought SUI
ficient for a woman to have put the
trades union? The great labor organ
izations, the Federation of Labor,
knights of Labor and the Central La
Dor Union do not consider industrial
organization sufficient for workingwo-
men and have in their platforms two
planks, equal suffrage and equal pay
for equal work. An organization with
out the equal suffrage plank, will gen.
orally be found to represent a heavy
trade, such as bricklaying, not fol-
lowed by women in this country, there
fore no competition with disfranchise-
ment need be feared.
That mems wages are suffering from
an influx of women at lower rate
of wages in many occupations is true.
On account of this very fact it may be
that the time is not far distant when
organized workingmen will be driven
to fight for the acknowledgment of
women as for their own industrial life.
They have done and are doing much
to help us, still a forward movement
is eeded and that is to make practical
issue of equal suffrage. Organized la
Dor is busy everywhere contending
with few conyicts (the woman's po-
litical peer) lest union labor may be
weakened meanwhile the great army
of Vorkingwomen of the United States
continue to work at a lower rate of
wage than the men. In several occu-
pations men have been superseded by
women. The question of merit does
not enter into the employers calcula-
ton, although it often exists, for there
are industries where women are super
ior to men. There are two horns of a
dilemma and upon one the employer
must be impaled. Either the woman is
engaged because she is cheaper, or be-
cause she is better. If the latter, why
does she receive a lower rate of wage?
There is but one Just basis for fnan-
cial consideration in all work and that
is merit Any other foundation than

this is insecure and cannot be perma-

pay for equal work and this is by
equal suffrage. Advocates of woman
