LEAVE WOMAN At THE
DOORS Of FACTORIES
It Is the Place Where Man Leaves
Her to Shift And Toll for
Herself.
Despite High Development Of Ma
chinery She Still Works Ten
Hours Each Day.

In every city, everywhere. there is a
daily labor parade. 1t gathers its
forces in the districts where the work.
ing people live and it forms in mill
tary procession in the arteries which
lead to the heart Of trade. It Is the
industrial blood of the community
surging through the veins Of COM
merce. It is intense, noiseless. But
it is an army-an army Of defenseless
women workers marching to the fac
tory doors.
If you would see this parade, you
must rise early. Its vanguard begins
in the city streets at about $3.50 in
the morning, the main body swings
along about Z, and the stragglres fol-
low at about 1880. At it is over.
Then you come at S: 30 in the even
ing, and from then till $50 the wo-
men marchers have the right of way.
You note they are not so fresh look
Ing as in the morning, and they do not
! carry their two-inch paper parcels.
The contents Of those parcels, with q
! cup of tea, was their dinner. When
you learn this you do not marvel at
! their bloodless faces and their attenu-
ated forms. You wonder rather that
they look so we'll. And the interim
in this parade? It Is ten hours
Where were these frail girls all these
hours? They were worklng-toiline
in the nerve-racking noise of machin-
cry, bending ceaselessly over high
! speed machines.
Tomorrow you come again. 1t is q
REPETITION of today and of yesterday
Always the same. There are only
three duties in their lives-arise early
to go to work, to work, end return
home late from work. Montony-onl3
monotony-and the anxiety that ever
that will not be lasting.

Actual Bread Winners.


The women Of the working class
are bread-winners. They have their
place In industry, and this place is
permanent. 1t is useless to deny this
obvious fact In the face Of growing
industries where the labor Of women
Is sought. The agitation against wo-
man labor Is not logical. It is an in
dustrial permanency. It is not true
that women are encroaching upon the
field Of men in industrial occupations.
They are simply occupying their nat
ural sphere in life. with this differ
ence; they have been transplanted
from the home to the factory-trans-
planted without the protection of the
home or the regulation OF her occu-
patton except in so far as the few fac
tory laws regarding sanitation and
safety appliances for machinery are
concerned. But as a laborer, as a
wing Of the industrial army. the wo-
man worker Is wholly alt the mercy
Of her employers, and whatever liber-
ties she enjoys are due almost entire
ly to his generosity. And she accepts
her lot without complaint because she
believes that she is following only a
temporary occupation. There is in
her heart the feeling that some day
the right man will ask her the ques-
ton. 1t is her hope, and her life is
wrapped up in that hope. No matter
how long she may have waited, no
matter that each day of her life re-
moves her father from it's realization,
she still hopes on. For her it is al
ways tomorrow, though 1t may be
never.
So has the woman factory worker
Increased. So has the public power
and the domination Of the factory
owner. become greater. And the
working people have all but aband-
oned the woman In the factory to her
fate.
Women Workers DefsnesIess.
Despite the high develcpment Of
factory machinery and the increased
skill OF the factory worker; despite
the application Of electricity to factory
production, with consequent multi
plicity Of the factory products; de-
spite the specialization of industry
whereby production is enhanced 4
hundred-fold, the women factory
workers still labor, still toll, still
grind ten hours day, and despite the
general social advancement of the Or
ganized working people and the in
creased comforts they enjoy, the con-
ditlon of the women factory workers
remains almost what it was Is or 20
years ago. They are indeed defense
less. Without vote, without a voice
in the public forum, without even a
realization of their own economic
poverty, they are fit victims for the
INSCRIPTIONS factory lord. Mature
has gifted woman with the power Of

Railroad Presidents Confer

Last week in New York there was
a conference Of the eastern railroad
presidents. It was called to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY Of reducing railway
fares throughout the east to two cents
mile. Years Of public agitation Of
this question has been finally crystal
liked into law in several states. 1t is
law because the people demanded it:
it is the law because they would
brook no further delay. The railway
agents in the legislatures were DOW
erless. Their appeals brought only
laughter in reply. They have run
their course. Now 1t Is the turn of
the people. So the railway presidents
Of the east have met to talk it over.
Five years ago what would their answ-
er have been to these demands? They
would have told the people to run
along and play. But now they feel
the earth rising. There Is something
underneath they do not understand.
That something is the wrath of the
people-the wrath Of the people they
have read about, the wrath they have
probably experienced in a modified
form, and these railway presidents
are aIralQ.
There is a lesson here that should
teach the organized working people of
their power to aid the women factory
workers. There is here pointed out a
way by which the ding hours Of labor
Of women may be shortened. It is the
general public agitation calling atten-
ton to the social wrong Of long
workday for women. This is probably
the only method by which the women
| workers can obtain permanent relief.
These factory workers are all wo-
mon Of the working class. It is to
that class they must look for help. If
that class Is blind to the he'plessness
of it's own, il 1t is unconscious Of the
| duty 1t owes to it's own women, then
it must be awakened to its RESPONSE
| bility. Let every man understand
that the women factory workers al
most everywhere in this country labor
ten hours day; let them understand
that this is a social wrong-a wrong
| against the unboln, crime against
the future. And let the voice OF
every workingman everywhere be
raised against it. Then will the
economic condition Of the women
workers be bettered, and not until
then.

BIG NEW BRIDGE COMPLETED.
Another Link In ptnnsyIyauia Railroads I'm
pr0vtnents Ended.

Philadelphiak Pa, Jan. 23.-By
building skpne-and-iron bridge
nearly a mile Dng across the Sus-
quehanna River and eliminating sew
eral bad curves between Principle
and Oakington. Md, the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad has made one more inn
portant step tow ards shortening the
running time and increasing the
safety of travel between New York
and Washington
The new bridee now completed is
between the Owns of lIayre dc
Grace and Pef1ville, about 100 feet
north of the old structure. In il are
Al, 1863 cubic yards of masonry and
20, 230, 3S4 pounds of steel. The main
line .of the Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington, which is part of the
Pennsylvania system, is changed and
Strengthened for distance of five and
a-half miles between Principle and
Darlington. Not including the bridge
over the Susquehanna, the improve
ment has required the use of 30, 600
cubic yards of masonry and the exca-
vation of 745, 900 cubic yards of rock
and dirt.
1t has been the purpose of the
Pennsylvania management as far as
possible to build for all time in this
as in many other portions of its
present scale of improvements. TO
that end all grade crossings between
these two points have been eliminated
This improvement comprises the con
struction of eight bridges between
Principle and Perryville and as many
more between Havre de Grace and
Oakston. The newly improved line
will consist of four tracks for the
entire distance except for the stretch
over the Susquehanna Bridge.
The new bridge, which is of partic-
ularly graceful design, consists of
eighteen spans, one of which is a draw
span 2S0 feet long. The sixteen piers
are built of Allegheny Mountain sand
stone with concrete backing and Port
Deposit granite coping. The fender at
the draw is built of piles with gran
ite pier at the north end and a timber
crib, filled with stone at the south
end.
Incidental to the main improve
ment there is change of line $3.50
feet long on the Columbia and Port
Deposit branch. which joins the
main line at Perryyille. Two under
grade bridges were built on G. q p.
d., one at Perryville, where the Phil
adelphia and Baltimore Post Road
passes beneath the tracks, and the
other at the crossing of the Public
( Road mt Frenchtown.
