HIGH PRESSURE
SYSTEM URGED
Business Men Criticise the
Commissioners Action for
Adverse Reports.

Severely criticising the District Com
missiOners for making an adverse report
on the installation of a high water pres
sure service in the business section OF
Washington. despite repeated recommen-
datiOns of Fire Chief Wagner that such
a system should be put into operation.
prominent business men of the District
yesterday pointed out the mistake made
by the Commissioners.
The Board Of Trade, Chamber Of Com
merce, and Retail Merchants Associa-
tlon will take the matter up at their
next meeting. The argument Of the Com
misssoners that the Insurance companies
would not reduce their rates IL a high
pressure service was put into operation
was declared to be frail and insufficient.
Sees Cheap Economy"
THE Commissioners had better take
measures to protect the lives and bust
ness interests of the people of the Dis
trict instead of being penUrious," said
Capt. James F. Oyster. president of the
Chamber OF Commerce. Il don't believe
in cheap economy. and the city needs a
high pressure service. I am very much
in favor of II. and 1 think the District
Commissioners made a great mistake in
making adverse recommendation. They
ought TO consider the public OCCASION
ally"
Thomas C Noyes. president OF the
Board OF Trade, said:
"A high-pressure system is very much
needed. The Board OF Trade has repeat
edly expressed itself in favor of the plan.
No reason is strong enough to warrant
an adverse recommendation in this mat
ter. We will have to have such a service
sooner or later, and the sooner the better
for the protection of the city'5 business
interests. Ii is probable that the matter
will come up at the next meeting OF the
directors OF the Board of Trade"
Isaac Cans, manager for Saks & Co,
and a director OF the Retail Merchants
Association, said:
IF a fire were to break out in one OF
the large apartment houses of the city
or in a department store at present 1t
would be a calamity. A high-pressure
system is necessary, and We ought to
have it. Washington business interests
should be protected the same as business
interests are protected in other cities. or
course the fire insurance companies
should reduce the rates when the risk
is lessened. but l do not think the fact
that they will not is sufficient excuse for
opposing the system. The matter will
be taken up by the directors OF the Re
tail Merchants Association
should BE Installed.
A. Lisner. proprietor Of the Palais
Royal. said:
The high pressure system ought 10
be installed. There is no good reason
why it should not and there is every
reason why it should be. Even il the
insurance companies won't reduce the
rates, We ought TO have the high pressure
service. I will take the matter up with
the Commissioners personally. 1 shall
also call 1t up at the next meeting of
the directors Of the Chamber of Com
merce.'

THE WAGE WORKERS
AND EQUAL SUFFRAGE

Massachusetts has just passed 81
hour-a-week law for women after 40
years Of agitation by indirect influ-
ence" to improve working conditions.
Utah, in 1911, passed a nine-hour law
after less than two years Of effort by
its advocates. That is, women with
the votes got the law from the first
Legislature from which they asked it.
Women without votes asked Tor 40
years without getting it.
OF the six equal suffrage states
three have passed eight-hOur laws for
women and one a nine-hour law. Of
the non-suffrage states, not one has
an eight-hour law for women, and
only five have nine-hour laws. The
Legislature in most OF the suffrage
states have shown much greater read
mess to protect women from over
work than have the legislatures in
most of the non-sufirage states.
Julia Ward Howe sent circular
letter to all the editors and ministers
Of four denominations in the then
four suffrage states, asking what, if
any, benefits had resulted from wo-
mans ballot Out of G24 answers only
62 were unfavorable. Among the
benefits most often cited was that
equal suffrage had made it easier to
get liberal appropriations for educa-
ton.
Working women believe that they
will have a more equal chance in the
industrial struggle when they have
the protection Of the vote. The trades
unions of America and Great Britain
are in the front rank Of suffragists.
Organized labor believes it will be
far stronger when women vote than it
is now. 1t believes in raising the
status Of womens wages and working
conditions as the necessary prelimi-
nary to any general advance in work.

Industries which flourish on child
labor are solid against woman suf-

proprietors of a dry goods store, a
grocery store, a drug store and sew

asked five business men of the
city who the secretary of state was,

hope 'the miracle may come to pass,

WHY OHIO NEEDS
Equal SUFFRAGE
Many Laws That Do Injustice to
Women Of the State.

The only elective office a woman
can hold in Ohio is member of the
board of education; it carries no sal
ary. The state school commissioner
can not be a woman.
A woman can not be on the board
of control of any state charitable in
stitution. A recent law giving per-
mission to appoint a woman superin-
tendent of the Girls Industrial Insti-
tuition is in conflict with the consti-
tuition and former decisions of the SUI
preme court.
The law limiting woman's work to
81 hours per week eXcepts canning in
dustries and others engaged in prepa-
ration of perishable goods and con-
tains no provision for department
stores, laundries and some other in
dustries.
The age of consent in Ohio is l6
years. In equal suffrage states it runs
from 1S to q years.
Women have school suffrage only.
Wife desertion is not a crime in
Ohio. The wife is not entitled to a
voice in the choice of family home.
The law does not secure the wife any
portion of the family income free
from the husbands dictation. A wife's
separate property can be levied upon
for family necessaries ordered by her
If not paid for by her husband, and
she can not secure repayment. A
husband holds dover interest in a
wifes separate property. Unless he
signs a release this interest holds
good after she has sold her property.
In Ohio the father inherits property
Of deceased children; the mother be
comes heir only if the father is dead.
The wife has no share in the chill
dren's earnings if the husband is liv.
ing. A wife is responsible for the
support of the family if the husband
Is unable to render support.
The wife Is not co-guardian of the
children and the husband legally COR
trolls the choice Of church, school,
clothing, medicine and work.
The father may legally appoint by
will the guardian for his unborn child.
Il looks as II Ohio needs woman's
ssfiraue.
