September, and set up two American
records. In flight Of hours, 8

American record for duration. He
made a distance high mark for
America by covering 101 miles and

the prize for totalization OF duration.
Using the same machine throughout,
he was In the air for nearly 13
hours, during the meet proper, and
made distance OF BATS miles. In
all he made but 10 flights, or an av-

Industrial Nelus e2 4ss Union Notes
NATIONS LABORING
PEOPLE SEEK BETTER
CHILD LABOR LAWS
BY PETER POWER

In nearly every state in the
Union in which legislatures are
in session this winter the or
ganized working people are
making aggressive efforts to
secure the enactment of laws to
improve the lot of the labor
ing class. In most of the states
these demands take the shape
of further restricting woman
and child labor, passage of en-
ployers' liability laws, inspec-
ton of workshops and factories,
better sanitary regulations,
etc.
In Maine, Massachusetts,
and Rhode Island new laws
have just taken effect pro-
hibiting the employment of
women more than "a hours a
week in manufactures and
commercial establishments, and
in Ohio and several other states
the unionists are endeavoring
to secure laws fixing a mini
mum of eight hours a day for
women toilers. In the Buck
eye state children are already
prohibited from working nights,
while girls under IS and boys
under 16 may not work longer
than eight hours in the day
time.
Similar laws have been gain
ed in New York state, and
Missouri has abolished night
work for children under Is and
arranged nine hour limit for
day work. Boys and girls will
no longer be permitted to work
on dangerous machinery, or
about acids, paint or white lead
in Minnesota. Considerable
progress is also being made in
Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska,
New Jersey, Illinois, Oklahoma,
Michigan and other states.

ELECTRICIANS
ARE PATRIOTIC

The electrical workers will be
patriotic in their decorations for
the grand Illuminated ball which
is to be given in the Elks' temple
Wednesday night. January 26. Red,
white and blue lights will feature
the decorations, which are to be
the most elaborate that have been
seen here on similar occasion.
The lights will be arranged in
the forms of flags. shields and en-
blems. The various insignia of the
two locals will be pictured with
the different colored bulbs. AT
least 1900 bulbs will be used in the
decorations.
To the full extent the idea of the
work of the trade will be carried
out. Even the dance programs will
be symbolical, being in the form of
an electric bulb.
1t is expected that the cost of
the decorations will equal the re-
ceipts of the affair. The workers
state. however. that they are not
giving the ball for pecuniary gain,
but to provide an evening of enjoy.
ment for their members and their
friends.

COLLECTIVE OWNERSHIP.
To me the vital cure for poverty
lies in the collective ownership Of
industries, and while this would not
make woman economically indie
pendent, social evolution is work
ing out the problem. every new in
vention is relieving the home of it's
drudgery. Our primitive house.
keeping is becoming more and
more socialized and woman is be-
ing relieved of the drudgery of the
home and becoming constantly
freer to spend her energies in spe-
cialiZed production.
SPIRIT OF THE TIMES.
The girls of today are stepping
out ito do things not satisfied
merely to eat things, to wear
things, and to dust things; they are
responding to the spirit of the
times, inspired by the first long
breath Of freedom, and the honor
able instinct of self-support is TAX

of gifts.

New Way to Handle That
Hen Fruit.

From an Australian expert, sent
to the United States to study UP
systems of economical marketing of
farm products, comes brand new
suggestion as to eggs.
The experts idea is the estab-
lishment of egg circles" wherein
all the farmers send their hen
fruit to secretary, who grades
and pays cash for the goods. for
warding them to the government
cooling or storing houses. The
government then sells to the re-
taller and is thus practically the
only middleman, the secretary re-
ceiving only one cent per dozen for
the eggs he handles.
The system is in operation in
several Australian states and it is
reported will shortly be tested in
Russia.

All the old order changeth, and
one of the vital problems of this
changing order is the Woman
Question"
Because of lack of knowledge
and understanding many men and,
strange to say, as many women,
would settle it by referring women
to her Natural Calling which, be-
ing interpreted, means housekeep
ing, breeding and rearing of chill
dren. These comfortable stupid
persons, asleep in the midst of the
march of events, have no intelli'
gent conception of the economic
forces which are revolutionizing So
ciety.

MUST BECOME INDEPENDENT.
Woman suffers during this transit
ton period from two vital causes
social and economic dependence.
To some small extent the situation
may become mitigated, perhaps,
when she is given equality before
the law, granted suffrage, but there
can be no final solution until she
is relieved of the humiliation of
being economically dependent upon
man.

In the last analysis woman's
emancipation can never be accom-

Still the all important question
of the day is, WHO is TO BLAME
FOR THE HIGH COST OF LIV-
ING? Many have attempted to
answer it for those vitality con-
cerned, but none have so far done

1t is the claim of the food trust
that he cold storage tends to equal
Ice prices, making eggs, for in
stance, higher in the summer and
lower in the winter. The truthful
ness Of this statement is questioned
and those who are being squeezed
the harder by the high prices are
possessed of belief that the ben

become an invention of eXtOrtiOn.

say they paid country dealers sum-
mer prices. They are now selling
these eggs to the retailer at about
80 a case, 80 dozen to a case.
And the retailer sells them at
from 35 to so cents a dozen.
The butter now in storage was
placed there by the commission
man in the spring and summer at a
cost of about 80 cents. The COM
mission man is selling this butter
to the retailer at about 43 cents.
Cheese stored during the summer
at about IA or Is cents is being sold
to the retailer at from 10 to 25
cents.
But the commission man insists
that cold storage prices net him lit
tie more than season prices.
