Low Level of Payment.

The proportion of women earning
under Is shillings per week in the
textile trades as a whole. was 1919 per
cent, whilst 21.3 per cent actually earn
ed under l shilling per week. In the
clothing trade matters were not much
better, and in the warehouse trades,
such as jam and sweet making, tea
packing aerated water bottling, there
was still lower level Of average pay
ment.
The real remedies, concluded Miss
Smith. were to be found In better
education, better technical training,
and. above all, it must be made not
only possible but easy for girls to
organize themselves in trade unions.
1t was only by union and organization
that women workers could hope to
maintain a stable position.

THE LIVING WAGE FOR
WOMEN IN INDUSTRY
English Women Receive Low Salary
for Work.

Among the numerous interesting and
able papers read at the National Union
of Women Workers conference at OK
ford was one by Miss Constance Smith
on The Living Wage for Women in
Industry" The wage of the worker,
said Miss Smith, was not now looked
upon merely as a matter of pounds,
shillings and pence, but rather as the
value that stands for physical, mental,
and moral attributes in human life.
The Importance of the rise or fall
of a few shillings in an Industrial fam
fly had come to be recognized.

An Eye-opener.

The industrial struggles of 1s11-12
had had their value in opening the
eyes of a number of people to the
actual conditions among industrial
workers.
Speaking of the conditions of labor
among women workers, Miss Smith
said that women had to overcome a
tendency to apathy and a slowness to
combine in their own interests. as well
as the tradition that a woman was
not expected to earn enough to keep
herself
The majority of women entered the
labor market either in early life. when
they had only unskilled labor to sell.
or in later life when the responsibility
of the upkeep of a family made work
of some kind, however badly paid, a
vital economic necessity. In these cir
cUmstances. il could hardly be expect
ed that the average wages of women
in industry could be at a figure to af-
ford satisfaction.
1t was only in the highly organized
cotton trade of Lancashire, where the
combinatio of men and women in the
same unions had been for many years
general and powerful, that the aver
age woman's wage reached Is shillings
per week, which in modern conditions
of town life represented the minimum
of health. comfort, and reasonable
recreation

tory in November upon the supposed
strength of the discordant element in
the Republican party. This view was
elaborated by some Of the shrewdest
political leaders Of the Democratic par
ty. and not few Republicans at that
timd expressed the opinion that Colo
mel Rocsevelt's personal ambition
might defeat the Republican party at
the election: but the sober judgment
Of the American people is returning
them, like strayed sheep, to the fold.
Now, after Investigating the basis for
the cry Of fraud" having laid bare
tho sinister motives of the Big Bull
Mooser. and finding no merit in the
claims Of Colonel Roosevelt and his
following, Republicans are daily comire
back in line and have no hesitancy in
avowing their intention to support

not be fooled by the Democrats, or any

The early history and training Of

time their nation became prosperous,
they became careless, discontinued,
and followed after fads. untried doc

with letting we'll enough alone. and as
consequence, found themselves deliv.

returned, only after sore repentance,

WHERE IDAHO WOULD COUNT

In the event of neither candidate for
President getting majority of all Of
the electoral votes at the ELECTORAL
college, the election of the President
would be thrown into the House Of
Representatives, where each state
would be entitled to one vote. Idaho,
in that case, would be just as import
ant as New York state. and a major
ity of all the states would, be necessai )
to elect President.
From present indications Idaho and
New York will both be in the Repub-
lican column and there will be 20
many other states in the same COL
umn that President Taft will be elect
ed at the ELECTORAL college on first
ballot and Idaho will no doubt be thus
prevented from realizing her one
chance to stand equal with New
York in representation, in Congress.
