The reason trade with those people
is to show my approval of them Don't
you know they are the first firm in this
city to establish a pension system at
their own expense When a woman
who has worked for them most of her
life gets too old to be much good, in
stead Of turning her off to starve, or
go to the poor house, the way most
firms do, they retire her on a pension
That's why / never lose an opportuni-

voter, SO you can not do anything to
better labor conditions by your vote
But there is one way in which you
can help to better them, and that is to
encourage by your patronage and your
expression of approval those firms who
have the reputation of not being harsh,
exacting and unjust to their employees
There are many shops in this sup
posedly enlightened country where the
shop girls are absolutely forbidden to
sit down during the days work In
some of these seats are provided be
cause the law demands it, but the law
is neatly circumvented by a penalty in
case the girl makes use of the seat
You shudder at the thought of
woman being obliged to stand on her
feet eight, or nine, or ten hours, on
a stretch with wretched respite OF
half or three-quarters of an hour?
1t makes you faint even to think OF
it. You don't see how anyone can be
50 cruel?
I believe that the responsibility for
such conditions is partly yours unless
you back up your disa pproval of them
by absolutely refusing to trade at such
shops, no matter what tempting bar
gains they may display
Do you ever look for the Consum-
ers' and Trade Union label on the gar
ments that you buy? Do you give these
efforts to stamp with approval the
firms who treat their Iaborers in q de-
cent manner, the support they deserve
from you?
Maybe you don't know much about
these movements. I'd like to tell you.
but I haven't the space. Ask your
club to take up the subject and ap
point some woman to prepare a clear
and thorough paper upon it. think
it is a matter that should be discussed
in every woman's club in the land at
least once a year.
Another way to help the working
girl is to be careful never, unless it is
absolutely necessary, to do any shop
ping Saturday afternoons in the shops
that are kept open all day Saturday
during the summer months. and to try
to make all your summer Saturday
afternoon shopping so infrequent that
