Women Move on Capitol.

Chicago.-A special bearing-not suf-
fragists, not sufiragettes, but, according
to their own classification, advocates of
woman's suffrage, arrived in Chicago
from the West and Northwest, bound
for Washington. The passengers were
a part of the army that is marching on
to the capitol to lombard congress and
President Taft with 100000 names on
petitions.
In short, the advocates of suffrage
have organized a coast-to-coast cam
paign for sixteenth amendment to the
constitution, giving women the right of
ballot.

HISS THE PRESIDENT
TOLD THRONG HE DID NOT FAVOR
WOMEN'S VOTE.
Permit Him to Continue Address He
Styled "My Confession"-Applause
Finally Follows.

Washington-The president of the
the nation ever to greet a convention
of woman sufTragists, braved the danger
Thursday night of facing an army of
women who want the ballot; had the
courage to express his opinion, and was
hissed. So great was the throng that
dreds were turned away.
President Taft was welcoming to
Washington the delegates to the conven
ton of the National American Woman
Suffrage Association. lie had frankly
told them he was not altogether in sym
pathy with the suffrage movement, and
was explaining why he could not sub
scribe fully to its principles. He said
he thought one of the dangers in grant
ing suffrage to women was that the
women as a whole were not interested
in it, and that the power of the ballot
as far as women are concerned would
be controlled by the less desirable
class"
Chorus of Kisses.
When these words fell from the presi-
dents lips the walls of the convention
hall echoed chorus of feminine misses.
1t was no feeble demonstration of pro-
test. The combined Kisses sounded as if
valve on steam engine had broken.
President Taft stood unmoved on the
platform during the demonstration of
hostility-for the kissing continued but
moment-and then, smiling as he
spoke, he answered the unfavorable greet
ing with this retort:
''Now, my dear ladies, you must show
yourselves capable of suffrage by exercis-
ing that degree of restraint which is nee
essary in the conduct of governmental af-
fairs by not kissing"
The women who had Missed were re-
buked. The presidents reply had APP
parently taken hold. There were no more
Kisses while the president continued his
address, which he characterized as my
confession" on the woman suffrage ques-
ticn. At the conclusion of his talk he
was enthusiastically applauded, and
some of the leaders of the convention ex-
pressed to him their sincere regret of
the unpleasant incident. President Taft
assured them he had not had his feelings
injured in the least.

AMERICAN STANDARD HIGH.
Wages of Labor and Cost of Living
Here and Abroad.


The Labor Gazette of the board of
trade of London gives the result of
an inquiry made by the imperial sta
tistical department at Berlin into
household expenditures of families Of
small means in Germany. The aver
age yearly income for the skilled work
man was $45S.S3 and the average ex-
penditure $457.71, of which 515 per
cent was spent for food alone. Among
the unskilled laborers in both indus
trial and commercial occupations there
was an average yearly income Of
SALTS and an average yearly expendi-
ture of $409.70, "a per cent Of which
went for food alone.
Compared with this, recent study
Of the standard of living in New York
city, made under the Sage foundation,
led to the conclusion that it was i'm
possible for family of average size to
maintain a normal standard of living
on an income under $500 year. This
conclusion has been substantiated by
an investigation by the federal bureau
of labor, which showed that the aver
age income among 1,415 workmen in
the north Atlantic states, among whom
the percentage of skilled labor was
high, was SS34.S3. Against this was an
average expenditure yearly Of $77S.04,
Of which but 43 per cent was spent
for food.

STRENGTH IN THE LABEL.
Advice of American Shoe Workers to
British Brethren.

A recent report of the National Union
of Boot and Shoe Operatives of Great
Britain contains some very interesting
correspondence between the executive
Of the union and the directors Of the
Cooperative Wholesale society relative
to the proposed adoption of union
label on boots and shoes.
While we would not presume to offer
our English brothers any advice. it is
our belief that the adoption of the
union label in England generally would
add much to the strength Of the move
ment over there.
AS we understand the matter a fai
ganized in England than in America
and We believe they are more loyal and
steadfast to their union principles.
For these reasons we believe that If
the union label was adopted there it
would receive a greater degree of sup
port from its members, and, the mem
bers being more numerous in proper
ton to the population, the commercial
disadvantage to any firm not using it
would be much greater than here, and
therefore the label would be more pow
erful there than here.
We freely acknowledge we have
learned much from our English broth
ers, and we remember with gratitude
their financial assistance to us at a
critical time in our history as a union.
The union label has made US strong
where we were once weak and we be-
lieve will make our English brothers
stronger even though they are now
strong.-Shoe Workers Journal.

PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Pensions.

Nearly 1850 employees on the Phila-
delphia division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company have signed petitions
to President McCrea asking that the
company revise it's pension system so
that employees may receive larger old
age pensions and may retire at sixty
years instead Of waiting until they at
tain sixty-five, the present minimum.
To secure the revenue necessary to
meet the proposed increase in pension
payments the employees offer to make
monthly payment in form Of per-
centage Of their wages. This matter
has been discussed on other divisions,
and it will be taken up by the officials
in the general offices.

CHILD LABOR EVIL.
Pennsylvania New Law Expected to
improve Conditions.

PennsylVania's New Law Expected to
improve Conditions.
Fred S. Hall, secretary of the Penn
sylvania Child Labor association, gives
the new child labor law, which went
into effect Jan. l, high praise. The
changes this law is expected to cause.
he declared, should raise Pennsylvania
from its rank with the southern states
in child labor matters to a position
alongside of the other great manufac-
turing states.
"The great mass of our manufac-
turerS and coal operators" Mr.. Hall
declared, are sincerely opposed to the
under age work of children, but re
siduum' among employees cling tena-
ciously to the evil thing, and in their
efforts to evade the law they are met
more than halfway by that large class
of parents who lie before some notary
public as to their children's ages.
"The old law assumed that parents
Of working children would tell the
truth about their children's ages. The
new law assumes that large proper
ton of them will lie about this If they
get a chance. Every child who claims
to be of working age must produce a
copy of some record of his age, either
the record of birth kept by the city or
the record kept by the priest who bap-
tized him in infancy or the record Of
age kept by his teacher at school.
Nineteen states have exactly this re-
quirement.
Fortunately the new law has been
interpreted by the attorney general as
in a sense retroactive. All the 10000
factory affidavits and the 10000 addi-
tional mine affidavits became so much
waste paper on Jan. l. The children
must apply to the school officials for
the new certificates. If 1t appears that
they are still under age or that they
are not able to read and write the
English language intelligently they
will have to leave work and re-enter
the schools, remaining there until they
are really qualified for certificates. The
school authorities will hereafter issue
these certificates instead Of the magis-
trates, aldermen and justices of the
peace, and we are confident that chill
dren who are still under age or who
are illiterate will be refused. The
chief factory inspector and the chief
mine inspector have both announced
that they will insist that children be
discharged at once who are found at
work without the new certificates. If
this is done we may expect purging
of our states employment rolls which
will raise Pennsylvania to its proper
rank with our great industrial commu-
mites"
