Better Close Factories Than Overbur.
den Women.
The San Francisco Star in comment
ing on the closing down Of the East
Oakland plant of the California cotton
mills as a direct result of putting the
eight hour law for women into effect,
inspiringly grapples the subject in the
manner in which every such case
should be treated. Humanitarian en-
actments apparently reach no respon-
sive chord in the breasts of brutal
profit hunters, and defiance still abides
as their chief characteristic. The Pa
cifc coast paper says:
well, here is our doctrine aneht the
matter: Better that such a plant, or
hundred such plants. should close and
remain closed than that women should
be compelled to carry burdens which
their frailty units them to bear. Bet
ter that a few women here and there
should be thrown out of a job than
that the entire sex should be subjected
to such long hours of labor as greed
might choose to give them"

WORKERS OF JAPAN.
Wealth of the Nation Built on Blood
of Women Toilers.

a recent official report shows that
women are responsible for building up
Japanese industries. This report shows
that Japanese women's labor as an
industrial factor is very great. as their
influence is keenly felt in almost every
industry.
Commencing with the production of
raw silk, which occupies over 80 per
cent of Japan's total export trade. fe-
male labor largely enters into the
manufacture of habutae, cotton yarn
and other staples of export.
The extensive employment of female
labor may be due to its comparative
ly low price. but in many instances
work can be done better and more ef-
fectively by women than by men.
The percentage of women engaged
In the industries of Japan is stated to
be as follows as compared with men;
Men employed, "a per cent; women
employed. &C per cent. showing that
there are nearly twice as many wo-
men as men employed. There are
usually fixed hours fwelve) as to the
time for daily employment.
In spinning raw silk. floss silk. cot
ton refining, weaving. knitting and
braid manufacture there were EN-
ployed total of 373,2S4 persons In
1908 OF these only 43,264 were
males; the rest, 10000, were females.
The highest wages received by these
women were IA cents t2S sem day.
Girls under fourteen years received
as low as cents g SEM day.
This accounts for the fact that Ja-
pans export trade has increased from
100000 in 1891 to $450,000,0OO in
1910
What clearer evidence is needed
than this that the wealth of every
nation is built up from the blood and
tears of its toilers. especially of its
toiing women!-Minnesota Union Ad-
Vocate.

these men to the gallows. Pardee was
supposed to have been in a room in a
certain hotel and to have overheard a
diabolical plot Matched by the union
leaders to kill Altman. Associated Press
dispatches carried the news from one
end of the country to the other of the
arrest of these men. But Associated
Press dispatches did not give to the
country the sequel of the Chicago case.
They did not tell us that private de-
teetives entered the headquarters of the
Chicago Federation. of Labor one night
and iimmied open the desks of officials
and business agents of the various UNI
ions in a vain search for discriminating
evidence. They did not tell us that
when the case came to trial it proved
the greatest fiasco in the history of
Chicago criminal annals. That Pardee
was proved to be threetime Jail bird.
That his evidence was broken down and
discredited. That Prosecuting Attorney
Wayman cringingly told the judge that
the prosecution had ben imposed upon"
by the labor spy, Pardee, and asked that
the case against the union officials be
dismissed. Isn't it strange that the eX
posure of the diabolcal plot to hang
these men and forever blacken the labor
movement in Chicago should have been
overlooked by the Associated? As
mere matter of news wasn't it worth
more than a three-line paragraph that
the case against the Chicago unionists
charged with murder had been dismissed?
How many readers of Associated Press
stuff even saw that short paragraph?
Going outside the realm of strictly
labor affairs, we find a good deal the
same disposition to suppress news per
tanning to the great peoples movement
for popular government that has been
sweeping over the country. 1t is true
that the magnitude of the movement has
compelled the Associated to handle more
or less news matter pertaining to the
progressive movement but it has done
so in a manner to reflect little credit
upon the great newsgathering body.
Just one instance will suffice for that.
The Associated Press told us a few
weeks ago that a Texas court had de-
clared the initiative, referendum and
recall. unconstitutional Again it was
left to the United Press to carry the
news that the supreme court of Texas
had reversed the lower court and up
held the law. Leaving sentiment again
aside, we ask which decision was of
greater Importance from news stand
point.
The Associated Press is probably the
greatest news gathering agency in the
world in regards to facilities. Like a
great web its lines spread out to very
part of the nation. There is no ham
let too small to be covered by its per-
feet system of news gathering. 1t is
doubtful if any great combination of
capital has ever developed a more per-
feet machine to carry on its own par
ticular line of business. 1t purports to
be simple purveyor of news and not
a moulder of public sentiment. Taking
it at its own valuation and at what the
world knows about its news gathering
facilities, is it surprising that it should
be bitterly condemned for it's all too
evident misrepresentation and suppress
sion of transpiring events that are max
ing history?

Do you prefer union to non

sweatshops If you do and buy
only union made goods.
Have you the label of the
United Hatters of North Amcri-
ca in your hat! If not your
headgear is out of harmony with
your union professions.
What would become of the
working men and women of the
United States If the labor unions
were destroyed? They would be
wholly at the mercy of oppres-
sive and soulless employers. for
one thing.
How about you. Mr.. Union
Man? When you patronize
meat market do you look for and
see that the shop card of the
Meat Cutters union is display
ed in the market in which you
make your purchases? If not.
why not?

To Eerret Out Spies.

A detective bureau has been formed
by the general strike committee of Los
Angeles labor unions. George Gunrey
who has charge of the work. says the
number of hired spies found working
in the unions has caused this step to
become necessary. The work of the
detectives will be to ferret out such
spies and expose them so they can be
expelled and kept out of unions all
over the country.

Detective Burns sailed suddenly for

posedly one of the chief conspirators in
the Los Angeles Times case. Associat-

maudlin attempt at notoriety on the
part of Burns was of more Importance
as news feature than the exposure Of
his petty trick

Old Wives Tale.

Progress is being made daily in prep
aration for the production of Peele's,
cold Wives Tale" by the college next
commencement, and the stage of the
"Scaena, where the Roman play was
given last year, is being remodelled to
represent stage of Elizabeth's time,
and rehearsals have commenced.
While the production will not be in
many respects so spectacular as last
years, doubtless the reproduction of
the sixteenth century costumes and the
delightful story told in the cold Wives
Tale" will make a presentation that
while strikingly different will be no less
interesting than was the third produc-
ton of "Temporibus Hominis Arpina-
It's"
