WOMAN and LABOR

lists Lodges.

DepIorable Eastern Factory Condl-
ton Described-Local Auxiliary
Is Formed.

There was a large gathering Satur-
day evening in the K. G. hall, ROCK
Island, of the trf-city lodges OF the In
ternattonal Association of Machinists
were represented.
The speaker OF the evening, Miss
Alice Henry, herself a member of the
Stenographers' union, is editor of the
woman's department of the Union
Labor Advocate of Chicago. She told
OF how women had followed their old
work OF spinning, weaving and baking
and brewing in the factories when
machinery took over all these indus
tries The woman and girl in the fac
tory, the workshop and the store
needs the protection of organization
as much as men, and because of her
comparative youth and inexperience
she needs the help of her working
brothers. And all alike needs the
sympathy and intelligent cooperation
of the woman in the home.
Win Nationwide sympathy.
Miss Henry said further: 'The
greatest Industrial uprising of women
in all history is the shirt waist strike
of the east, the strike wherein these

by the Women's Trade Union league,
gained the ear of the press of the en-
tire country and the support of club
women, suffragistS and socialists.
There also were enlisted the free serv-
ices of lawyers of international reputa-
ton. such as Martin Littleton of New
York The complete success that was
won has given heart of grace to wom-
en- everywhere who recognize as they
never did before their common sister

rich's primary object at this time is
to keep the republicans in power.
What move on Aldrich's part
could relieve the republicans of so
heavy a responsibility in the ap-
preaching congressional elections as
the announcement of his retirement?
Realizing that his long representa-
ton of big business has earned for
him the enmity of the American peo-
pie, and that his name is to be one
of the main issues in the fall cam
paign, it is but giving due credit to
Aldrich's resourcefulness to assume
that he figured it out he could not
serve the special interests better at
this time than to announce his re-
tirement, If such announcement
would help the republican party over
dangerous shoals.
Aldrich is taking no chances in
announcing that he will not again
be a candidate. He can change his
mind easily, or he can have reelec-
ton forced" upon him. Should the
next house be democratic, however,
Aldrich might not care to come back
to the senate, for it would then be
OONIOuS lhdI lie put
none of his own peculiar style of leg
islation.
The ship subsidy bill is beaten so
far as this session of congress is con-
cerned. 1t goes to destruction on
the rocks of scandal. The Merchant
Marine league, the organization
which is backing the bill providing
for the annual payment of $1,000
600 of public funds to few private
shipowners, is being exposed before
a special investigating committee of
congress as being backed by men
who would profit directly or indi-
rectly through the passage of the
proposed legislation. These men,
most of whom are miIlionaires, have
contributed to the funds of the
league. and the funds have been US
ed in turn to attack and terrify mem
bers of congress opposed to the sub
sidy grab. Although officers of the
league testified contributors to the
league treasury were interested in
the passage of a ship subsidy bill
merely as American patriots anxious
to see the merchant marine built up,
cross examination of the very wit
nesses who made such assertions
brought out the fact that two of the
vice presidents of the league. were di-
rectors of the steel trust, and that
another vice president was the gener-
al manager of a Newport News, Va,
shipbuilding company, concerns
which might easily profit through the
opening of the pork barrel by the
passage of ship subsidy measure.
''The democrats are nearer to
electing a president of the United
States than they have been since
1892" says Governor Claude A.
Swanson of Virginia, who recently
completed a tour that extended to
the Pacific coast. mot in years have
the democrats shown so much activ-
ity. so much desire to shake off leth-
'argy, to hold harmony banquets, and
to get together as is manifested in
all sections of the country at this
time. With such a spirit pervading

Reserved Seats Extra.

Hon. Joseph f.. RansdelI, member OF
Congress from this District, paid st. Jo-
seph visit on Thursday in the interest
of his candidacy for reelection. Mr..
Ransdell takes a very optomistic view OF
the situation in the District in general
and seems sanguine of success in the first
primary. In speaking of his chances Mr.
Ransdell said:
1.-The situation East of the Ouachita is
most satisfactory, and with the strong
support ! am receiving in the hill parish
Is regard my election as assured in the
first primary by substantial majority.
l am endeavoring to carry every parish
in the District, and think my chances for
50 doing are excellent"
Mr.. RansdelPs friends in Tensas are
delighted to see him and are specially
pleased to observe the very feeble oppo-
sitioD that is being arrayed against him
in the District. That he will carry Ten
sas by practically solid vote is assured,
Mr.. Ransdell left this evening for Wa
terprOOf.
Mr. Ransdell addressed gathering Of
citizens during the forenoon Friday at
the Court House. His talk was clear
exposition Of his views on the subject of
tariff, and especially az relates to lumber,
and proved great satisfaction to his
hearers, who were fully convinced that
his position is decidedly proper and cal
culated to subserve the best interests of
his District.
Mr.. Ransdell left on the afternoon train
for Vidalia and other points in the Dis
trict.

Proesediags Of Fifth Louisiana levse
Board.

IT, Board of Commissioners for
the Fifth Louisiana Leyee District
met in regular session at Delta,
La, this day.
There were present:
C. A. Voelker. f. J. HamIey,
East Carroll parish.
W. H. Ward, j. Il. Mcclellan,
president, Madison parish.
G. G. Goldman, B. F. Young
Tensas parish.
~ B. B. Parham, j. H. Lambdin,
ConcOrdia parish.
N. H. Lewis, secretary, Madison
parish.
A quorum being present, the
board proceeded to business az
follows:
The reports of the President
and Secretary were received, read
and ordered filed.
On motion of Commissioner G..
G. Goldman the reading of the
minutes of the previous meeting
was dispensed with.
Mr.. Walter H. Hoffman, assist
ant engineer, appeared before the
board and discussed levee cOndi-
tions i'm the district.
A memorial was presented to
the board from certain rice plant
ers of East Carroll parish, asking
that the produce tax on rough
rice be fixed at 9 1-2 cents per
sack Of one hundred aud sixty-two
pounds, when the following, pre-
amble aud resolution was offered
by Commissioner j. II. Lambdin:
"Whereas, five cents per sack
on the rough rice is in the same
proportion as one dollar per bale
On cotton; and,
"Whereas, there has been no
tax on rice that has been raised
10 the Fifth Louisiana Levee Dis
trict up to this time, and the pro-
ducer of rice has been free from
this contribution for two or more
years; and,
"Whereas, the cotton produced
in the district has been decreased
more than fifty-one (5l) per cent;
and,
"Whereas, the river commission
is diverting more of the appro-
rriations made by congress to
bunk protection (revetment) and
less to levees; and,
"Whereas this will naturally
require the full amount Of tax
possible to keep the levees up to
the present standard and to finish
the Others that are not up to the
commission grade; and,
"Whereas, the produce tax is
the most equitable and easily paid
there is, because when the crops
are large the producer is able to
meet larger tax obligation; and
when the crop is short or small
tie tax is proportionately small
aud further the levee produce tax
is the only one that is imposed on
produce, and this is imposed on
that sold out of the district and
asa money crop.
Therefore, he it resolved, that
the memorial of the rice planters
above referred to he denied, and
the resolution passed at this meet.
irg assessing a produce tax in ac-
Guidance with acts No. 1873 of 1910
is the sense of this board"
The vote OH the adoption was
"a follows:
E. J. Hamley and C.. A. Voelker
OF East Carroll parish voted nay.
B. B. Parham, J. H. Lambdin
Of Concordia parish voted yea.
G.. C. Goldman and b. F.
Young of Tensas parish voted yea.
W. H. Ward of Madison parish
voted yea.
Considering that the funds here
lof0re collected from the forced
on cotton because of
lie great decrease in the produc-
:on of it are inadequate to locate,
repair, and maintain
'ie levee line, so as to prevent the
isastrous flood. on motion of
