New York have made it evident
that the time has come for the
general government to step in, and
if it has any power under the con-
stitution to put forth that power
to check these reckless organiza-
tons of capital. For nearly 100
years it has been taken for granted
that there was no power but that
of the seperate state governments

ance companies. That proposition
has come to be seriously doubted,

a law would at once be taken by

Equality in Labor.

We see no reason why women
performing equal duty as men
should not be equally compensated
for the performance of that duty.
No sane mind can for a moment
reason soundly that for equal
labor performed such labor should
be less well compensated just be-
cause it was done by a woman
instead of a man. 1t is good
thing for women's trade OrganiZa-
lions to send their delegates to the
conventions of the American Fed.
Grafton Of Labor.
There is no danger in the fact
that women may be ousting men
from many positions which were
formerly held by men only. Wo-
men are only doing such work as
they are adapted to and in spite
of any opposition that men could
with courtesy put forth the women
would occupy those positions any
how.
The woman will come to her own

doing the work that she is not fit.

about women branching into the

the work and providing they re

men get. In other words they want

standard union scale.

some young man who has become
equally proficient in a union of men
looks up the bright members of the
