EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN.

DESPITE the arguments and protests
of President Eliot of Harvard, the
principle OF equal pay has Just won
out in New York City through the ef.
forts of the Interborough Association
of Women Teachers. The campaign
for equal pay launched by this great
association some years ago, has had its
ups and downs before the legislature.
having more than once suffered de-
feat But victory has at last perched
on the banners of the persistent and
persuasive workers.
The men teachers in New York City
number 1,500 and the women teachers
10000. Under the new plan the salar-
les of the men teachers at present en-
ployed remain the same. But the men
hereafter to be appointed will receive
less than men are now paid, and the
women will receive more This is done
to bridge the difference between the
present initial salary OF men (s900)
and women (s600), the future initial
rate being 1920 for both, with no In
crease until the third year-the end
of the probation period. AT the end OF
that time $500 is the salary, with a
stated increase until the maximum is
reached. To put the pay of the 5000
women teachers on a par with the l.,
500 men at the present rate would
add from ss.0Oo,000 to s1O,000,o 600 a
year to school expenditures.

WOMEN FOES TO SUFFRAGE?

In an address before the church
congress In Washington City on
Thursday Rev. DR.. CYRUS Townsend
Brady had the temerity to declare
that there were 500 arguments against
woman suffrage in the hall in which
he spoke. There were that number
of women present and DR.. Brady pro-
ceeded TO address himself to the
arguments" against woman's sui
frage, going into such details as hats,
hobble skirts, waists that button in
the back and Partisan styles.
Later in an interview he cited the
hats and dresses worn by women and
declared that women are born slaves
slaves to the dictates of fashion.
Continuing, he said:
NO woman can do anything with
out help. She cannot button her
dress without the aid of man or some
other woman. II women had the RICH,

polls unaided

A LINING WAGE.

In the opinion of Magnus Alexander,
Massachusetts commissioner on work
ingmen's compensation, the average
man can decently support family of
five on $500 year. If he cant he is
either ignorant or wasteful. Mr. Alean-
der found the 10000 persons employed
at the General Electric Co.'S works at
Lynn living comfortably and decently
on from $1,000 to s12.15 week as an
average wage He found from a study
of 1902 manufacturing industries in
Massachusetts that the head of the
family is receiving in many cases
more than 5000. In the rope, leathe-.
rubber goods, and textile industries
he found the employees receiving less
than living wage. These are the big
| industries of the state.

workman pays on the whole little
more than twice as much as the Eng
lish workman for the same amount OF
house accommodation, the actual ratio
being POI 100; the minimum of the
predominant range of rents for the
United States towns as whole ex-
ceeding by from so to II per cent the
maximum of the range for towns in
England and Wales for dwellings con-
tanning the same number Of rooms.
The retail prices of food obtained
by weighing the ascertained pre-
dominant prices according to the con-
sumption shown by the British bud

for the increase which took place in
this country between October, 1905
aud February, 1909, ratio of 13S :;
100 for the United States and England
and Wales respectively.
Putting these details together and
assuming that an English workman
with an average family
under American conditions the stand
he had been accustomed, the report
concludes that his wages would be
higher In the United States by about
1870 per cent, with slightly shorter
hours, while on the other hand his ex-
penditure on food and rent would be
higher by about 50 per cent. The re-
port, after restating these calcIlla-
tons. adds that according to this ra-
ito the money earnings of the work
man in the United States are rather
more than two and one-fourth times
as great as in England and Wales,
and, since there is no proof that EN-
ployment is more intermittent in the
United States than in Great Britain,
much greater margin is available,
even when allowance has been made
for the increased expenditure on food
and rent.

The Washington Democrat rides to

The supreme court of Iowa has

looms in Keokuk. We would like to
bet the The Gate City that 1t does
affect them. Keokuk hasn't 39,OuV
