Mrs. Raymond Robins, Of Chicago, a

urged at the session Thursday of the
American Federation of Labor that a
minimum wage of scale for women be
established.
Mrs. Robins is a member of one Of the
wealthiest families in Chicago, but she
devotes her time principally to the Ma
tional Women's Trade Union league, of
which she is president She is a sister of
Margaret Drier, whose marriage TO an
English artist aroused much attention
several years ago
ANY industry" she said, that cannot
afford to pay living wage to its women
employees is a parasitic industry and
should be swept from the face Of civili-
zation. A minimum wage law must be
sec lred through the strength OF trade
unionism. No other power will ever write

try.
zone of the most stubborn features
that the American girls have to combat
in their fight for better wages and con-
ditions is the foreign girl. They wan:
work and are willing to work for much
less than our own girls.
But in Chicago we have devised a sys-
tenn that we believe will be a most eff
fective weapon. II is education. We
will soon publish a primer in all
guages for the purpose of teaching the
lesson of trade unionism"

La GRANGE INTERESTED
IN POWER COMPANY PLAN

LAGRANGE, Ca, Nov. 1S.-Real estate
men and land owners generally in this
city and section are much interested In
the progress of the application of the
Georgia Power company before the Geor-
gia state railroad commission with rela-
ton to the issuance of stocks and bonds
for further development of this COM
pany's properties.
Lines have already been surveyed and
much property rights acquired looking
toward the extension of these power
lines to LAGRANGE and should the rail-
road commission act favorably upon the
companys application this section would
be immeasurably benefited by the build
ing of such a vast power line which
could supply power sufficient for the OPP
GRAFTON of many more mills and factories
than are now in existence in this section.
The development of water powers near
Franklin. on the Chattahoochee river,
would prove of incaluculabe value to
this section and greatly improve and en-
nance the value of real estate not alone
in Heard county, but northern Troup
county, and make of Lagrange city
with every manufacturing advantage,
At present there are two power COM
panies seeking entrance to this city.
namely, the Georgia company and the
Columbus Power company. The Colum.
bus company has spent an enormous
amount of money in developing the pow
ers in and about that city. Local mill
men are greatly interested ing with
other citizens in the application before
the railroad commission of the Georgia
company, and should the application Sc
cure favorable action, plans immediate
Iy would be made looking toward the in
stallation of electric power for the oper-
alton of such mills.
