the Tragedy of the Zu1us
By MARK F. WILCOX

Such has been the stock solution of
the race question since the Emancipation
Proclamation brought us face to face with the
issue OF black rivaling white. The very i'm
possibility of any practical working out OF such
a solution perhaps has been the reason why
popular orators have been so ready to shout
for the wholesale transhipment Of ten mil
lions of people. But in this quixotic agitation
another side of the question has been entirely
overlooked and that u.s. the negro has

Africa no longer belongs to the Ethiopian
but to the European. Turn to any map of the
world and you will find that the apportion-
ment of Africa is an actual fact. Portugal,
Spain France, Belgium, Germany-al

course, belongs to the lion of Great Britain
Snip the negro to his home in Africa?
You may as we'll talk of shipping him to his
own home in Europe or Asia. For the plain,
unavoidable fact is: the negro race is disin-
herited.
Lest this statement may seem too assertve,
he has only to look for justication at single
striking instance of how superior white ma
ton has entirely uprooted weaker black peo-
ple-an instance which may be readily found in
colonial history of that most progressive and
lightened people, the English While the Eng

BERGER'S WIFE ADVOCATES
UNION FOR HOUSEWIVES

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 16.-Mrs. Meta Ber-
ger, wife of Victor l.. Berger of Mil
Waukee, the first Socialist to be elected
to congress, is not a delegate to the
convention of the American Federation
of Labor, but is here because she is a
Socialist and a suffragist and attends
all public meetings in which her nus
band has part.
"I never had an opportunity to be a
member Of a union," Mrs. Berger said
yesterday, i"but there is one union
that 1 am going to join as soon as 1t
is organized. That is the Housewives
union.
women have social equality with
men now and political equality is COM
ing, but we must also have economic
equality. A housewives union would
be a good means to this end. 1t would
do for a starter, anyhow.
"Why shouldn't there be minimum
scale of allowance from the husband
to the wife? l think it should be at
least half of all he earns. If the wo-
men did not take full charge of the
home the man would only spend half
the time he does now making money.
So you see one-half of his wages really
belongs to the wife, as his partner!
1.-THE women do not receive the same
wages as men, simply because they
have not fought to be recognized We
have to fight for everything we get.
We had to fight for social equality.
Now we are fighting for political and
economic equality"
Mrs. Berger is the first woman ever
elected to public Office in Milwaukee.
She is a member of the school board,
having been elected on the Socialist
ticket

SAYS MARRIED WOMEN
RUIN LABOR CONDITIONS

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 16.-That married
working women are running the con-
dition of labor in the United States,
is the very firm conviction of Miss
Margaret Kelly, one of the most promi-
nent women delegates to the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor convention.
Miss Kelly is representing the Boot
and Shoe Workers union, and is one
of the two women whom President
Gompers has put upon national COM
mittees, being a member of the organ
izing committee of the federation. She
is a spinster, but has studied deeply
the condition of married working
women.
Married women are the ruination of
labor today. They ought to stay at
home and take care Of their husbands
and families" she declared. 'They do
not persevere; they do the labor less
conscientiously; they take any pay. A
dollar a day is good pay to them, and
they are continually undermining the
wage standard because they know
they always have their husbands
earnings to fall back on"
The devastation wrought by these
women in labor councils is more ag-
gravated in the eastern states than
it is out west. In the east, says Miss
Kelly, it is a general thing to see mar
ried women working in factories.
"I do not think they show slsterly
love or Christian charity when these
married women, who have husbands
working, deliberately take the bread
out of the mouths of poor girls de-
pendent on their own efforts to make
a living"

Brotherhood Is Considered
by Labor Convention
CANADIAN DISPUTE RE0PENED
Victor Berger Denies Plan to
Capture Convention for

CANADIAN DISPUTE REoPENED
Associated Pressl

ST. LOUIS. Nov. 16.-The schism of
several years which has split the
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
was brought before the American Fed
Grafton of Labor today by the sub
mission of majority and minority re-
ports from the arbitration commit
tee.
The electrical men are divided into
two parties, known from the names of
their leaders as the Reed and Nc
Nully factions. The McNully faction
is recognized by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and the Reed party
is struggling recognition.
Delegate John, p. Frye, representing
the majority report of the committee,
recommended that a convention of
both factions be called to consider
means of amalgamation tomorrow.
Delegate Duffy in the minority re-
port suggested that no recognition be
given to the Reed faction.
Thomas L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, advised that
both factions should be kept out Of
the American Federation until their
differences are settled.
The matter was referred to the ad-
justment committee Of the federation.
CANADIAN DISPUTE REOPEEED
The dispute between the American
Federation of Labor and the Canadian
Trades and Labor congress as to
terms on which they are affiliated
broke out afresh today. P. M. Dra-
per, secretary of the Canadian organ
ization, introduced a resolution max
ing the Canadian body coordinate
with and independent of the fedora
ton. Many of the American officials
want to admit the Canadians under
the status of state federation.
The resolution was referred to
committee.
Victor Berger, the Milwaukee So
cialist congressman-elect, issued a
statement in which he denied that he
was preparing a contest against the
reelection of Samuel Gompers as
president or planning to capture the
organization for the Socialist party.
The Socialist delegates are holding
meetings to discover how much
strength they can muster in the con-
vention. On the result will depend

of the individual defendants $500 ana
the corporation $2500 and costs.
1T was stated to the court that
the combination had been dissolved,
and this was one of the considerations
on which the court let the defendants
go merely on a fine. 1t also was
stated that the combination in its
existence had increased the wages of
the glass blowers and as matter Of
fact directors minutes disclosed the
adoption of one resolution increasing
wages 1275 per cent.
when this was carried odt did not
appear, but at all events, as the COM
bination had earned about four hun
dred per cent profit on its capital stock
during the year of its existence, an in
crease of twelve and one-half per cent
in wages can hardly justify reduc-
tion of thirty per cent in wages upon
the dissolution of the combination.
IF the rumored action should prove
to be substantiated by fact, it would
indicate the very mistaken leniency on
the part of the court in imposing sem
tence, which it is hoped would not be
followed on any other similar occa-
sion" - 5isanh&&

A p. Ferl, real estate-Good thing.
Our taxes this year are fierce. Dual
taxation is an outrage.
Nels Q. Anderson--Our present
county government system is nothing
more than an excuse to keep men in
office. There are some mighty good
men on the commission and we may
expect a good report.
Joe Weldt, former city treasurer-We
are just getting used to city consol-
idation.
Louis Hanson-I am for it.
Charles Nicholai, cashier First Ma
tional bank-High taxes really are
not so bad as they seem. Most people
spend more money foolishly every day
than taxes amount to. However, If
Pasadena and other towns can control
the saloon question and other local
matters it ought to be a good thing.

equalize the problems and assessments
