GIVE YOUR WIVES A VOICE IN

Mrs. Mary Macarthur, represent
ing the union men of England,
speaking to the National Women's
Trades Union league in Chicago. last
week, did not by any means pat
the woman suffrage movement in
England en- the back.
She said that the movement TOR
equal suffrage will not receive the
endorsement of the organized wom-
en- workers of this country II prom
inent leaders of women's unions in
this country aHd EhgI tai,l any,
thing to say about it. sd 90 -,
1nsther talk she asserted that the
sufragets of Engnlad were working
in-the interests Of the women>o of the
middle class, and care nothing for
women wage-earners. 49,.
Several of the American members
of the league expressed like opinions
regarding the movement here.
Leaders of the woman's suffrage
movement in England, it was stated,
will soon visit this country, and the
delegates were urged not to be mis-
lead by their arguments.
While this may be true as far as
the suffrage movement goes in Eng
land there is no reason that the
movement should not receive the
united support of union labor on
this side of the pond.
The union man who is afraid of
his wife's vote must be queer
anomaly.
The member of am organized
labor body who is not just enough
to give the mainstay of his home
and the mother of his children a
voice. in matters vital to the main
tenanee of that home and the up
brin ging Of those children can sure
ly not expect justice at the hands
Of his employers.
\ II more wage-earners, both union
and non-un1on,@ regarded their wives
as business partners rather than as
. hired girls whose wages were easily
paid, matters would run easier ia
many homes in America.
