LISTENS TO
MRS. MASON
CIVIC LEAGUE HEARS DIS
CHARGED DEPUTY LABOR
COMMISSIONER TELL OF
CONDITIONS OF SANTA
TION AMONG THE WOMEN
WAGE WORKERS THROUGH
OUT THE STATE.

The meeting of the Women's Civic
week was under the direction of its
sanitation committee, whose chairman is
the energetic president of the Women's
Label League. The program included
papers by Mrs. Zeigler and Mrs. Allen
concerning dairy conditions in the coun
try and sanitary conditions in city ana
county jails. These reports showed that
correction is sorely needed. That the
eye of woman is single toward the needs
of the community, was every evident in
that none of the unpleasant facts con-
nected with these inspections were
whitewashed in any particular.
The address of Mrs. Blanche II.
Mason, formerly deputy state labor
commissioner, treated of sanitary con-
ditions affecting women in industry.
Mrs. Mason, while receiving no aid from
the chief of her department, has, through
her cooperation with health officers of
the state, been able to secure the enact
ment of many local ordinances providing
for separate toilets and washrooms for
women workers, hot water connections,
additional windows and lights in dark
halls and closets, shades, fresh paint,
linoleum, are some of the comforts which
have been secured by Mrs. Mason for
the working girls of Washington to
whom she was devoted. The letter she
has received from them is ample proof
of the influence of her work and the
state officials responsible for her sew
erance with the state labor bureau will
reckon later with the votes of these
same working women.
Governor Hays millions will not count
when in 1912 the increased momentum
of public sentiment will be crystallized
into ballots which will forever divest
him of the power of consent when a
state labor commissioner who is regard
ed as joke by both capital and labor
brutally dismisses his assistant who has
succeeded in spite of all the handicaps
imposed upon her in doing vast amount
of good for the working women of the
state.

NOT A BAD ANSWER.

At the single tax conference in Chi
cago on November "a, 25 and 26,
good story was told by w. A. Douglass,
of Toronto:
A loyal school board of a Canadian
town ordered the British flag hung on
the wall of every school room. An
equally loyal teacher called the atten-
tion of her pupils to the flag and asked
if they could tell why it was there.
There was no answer for awhile, when
finally a bright youngster at the head
of his class, held up his hand, saying:
Please, teacher, l know" Very well,
tell us" answered the teacher. Its to
hide the dirt" was the reply.
This was surely a case of wisdom
from the mouth of babes" The young
ster's sage remark could be properly APP
piled to uses made by sham patriots of
the flag of other countries than Canada.

OPENS FIGHT AGAIN.

Washington, Dee. 21.-The postoffice
department, through c. +. Granfield, the
first assistant postmaster general, has
opened up war against the National
Federation of Postoffice Clerks, affil-
ated with the A. F, of L. Recently an
order was sent to the Chicago office
notifying all clerks in that office to
cease membership in the union. The or
der is not eouched in clear terms, but
its meaning is understood. 1t is under
stood that there are some 500 members
of the organization employed by the
Chicago office. The department seems
determined to continue its war ON all or
CARNATIONS other than the mutual ad-
mirations societies, which meet and
adopt resolutions eommendatory of the
splendid personal appearance and excep-
tional ability of departmental officials

Washington, Dec. 21.-Congressman
Henry of Texas has introduced H. B.
1909, amending the Sherman antitrust
law. The bill seeks to amend the pres

tions or associations not for profit and
without capital, or to agricultural prod
ucts or live stock in the hands of the
producer or raisers."

VIEWS OF A
BRITISHER
CHAIRMAN OF THE BRITISH
LABOR PARTY SEVERELY
CRITICIsEs POLICY ADVO-
GATED BY "SYNDICALIST"
ADHERENTS.

Washington, Dec. 21.--In the Octo-
Der number OF the Socialist Review, j.
Ramsay Mcdonald, chairman OF the Eng
lish labor party, says;
Let us suppose that the strike is
succeeding. The authorities will try to
break it, and that will lead to the EN-
ployment of force. Troops will be mob
ilized. So the syndicalist cannot avoid
his revolution even if he tried The old
reNolutionist knew his business, faced
the facts, laid his plans; the new revo-
lutionist does none of these necessary
things. Let us assume that the trans
port services are held up, that the mar
kets and shops are closed, that the
workshops are deserted. What follower
The syndicalists make the fatal mistake
of calculating that time will be on their
side. Exactly the opposite. Time will
work against them. However complete
the general strike is to be, it is only to
affect, even to begin with, a majority.
There will be minority holding the
same opinions as were expressed by the
suburban dwellers during the recent
railway troubles. They will represent
the resistance which society must always
| offer to sudden change Then there will
be a great number of men who will
become unemployed without in any way

poses. The striker, every day that goes
by, becomes, in the eyes of an increas-
ing number of people, not the savior but
the enemy of society. His assumption
is that as the days go society will be-
come more helpless in his hands; the
fact is that after the first two or three
days, society will begin to organize it
self against him, because society as well
as the individual is moved by the will
to live. The fact is, that the assump-
ton of progressive paralysis is false.
Society will at once take steps to re-
cover command of itself 1t will not
yield to the general strike; it will resist
iN' Oh thC uog VI his llGSJ triumph,
when he declares his strike, the syndi-
calist signs his own death warrant and
puts the moose about his neck. The
new revolution which syndicalism and
its advocates of the Industrial Workers
of the World contemplate has avoided
none of the errors and pitfalls of the
old, but it has added to them a whole
series of its own. 1t is a mere escapade
of the nursery mind. 1t is the product
OF the creative intelligence of the man
who is impatient because it takes the
earth "a hours to wheel round. Wher-
ever syndicalism has raised its Caliban
head, it has declared war on political in
dustrialism. The hospitality which the
socialist movement has offered SO gem
erously to all kinds of cranks and
scoundrels because they professed to be
In revolt against the existing order has
already done our movement much harm.
Let it not add syndicahsm to the al
ready too numerous vipers which, in the
kindness of its heart, it is warming on
its hearthstone."

THE GREAT RAILROAD
STRIKE.

Washington, Dec. 21.-From every
quarter comes favorable reports of the
great strike on the Hartman lines and
Illinois Central. While it is impossible
to give in detail the exact situation, yet
from all information at hand, the posi-.
tion which the strikers hold is exceed
ingly good. j. W. Kline, president OF
the international Brotherhood of Black.
smihts and Helpers, in nominal charge
of the strike, says: "The strike on the
Hartman lines and Illinois Central goes
on; the prospects look much brighter for
the men every day Dead engines and
bad order cars fill the sidings and clog
the yards. There is no doubt about our
final victory"
