PROGRESSIVE WoMAN'S DAY

On Sunday, November "a, Progress
sive Woman's Day was observed by
the socialists of Everett. Anna A.
Maley, first woman candidate for gov
ernOr, and a former writer for the Pro-
gressive Woman, addressed a we'll
attended meeting at Liberty Hall.
She traced woman from the earliest
dawn of history to the present day,
showing the successive changes in her
status in society and her environment
After a synopsis of the trend to-
ward universal suffrage for woman,
Miss Maley continued her lecture with
a discussion of socialism and the pub
lie school. She showed the necessity
of capturing the control of the school
for the worker. The many defects in
the present day teaching of history
and economics were plainly shown.
The school election in Everett oc-
ours on Saturday, December 7, and
the address of Comrade Maley with
it's thorough analysis of the problems
of the public school will arouse new
enthusiasm in the local campaign.

A POOR GUESS

Ralph D. Wright in "The Com
mon Cause"
Now that things have changed and
the Socialist party is in the throes of
excruciating internal disorganization,
we can cheerfully admit that, once
upon a time-some six or eight
months ago to be exact-it really
looked as If Socialism might make
good in its predictions that no less
than 100000 votes would be its rec
ord in November Today, in view of
the combination of unforeseen events
that have occurred since that fateful
Indianapolis convention, even the So
cialists themselves are trembling in
anticipation of the frightful exnibi-
tion of party weakness that the COM
ing election is likely to disclose.
AS a matter of fact, the Socialist
prediction of 1912 triumph for the
party of the Red Revolution was not
based upon the actual strength Of the
political organization. Making the
most liberal allowances, it is safe to
say that there are less than 100000
thoroughly-ccnyinced Socialists in the
United States, including the women
who do not exercise the right to vote.
Add to this a liberal allowance for
sympathizers who do not sympathize
sufficiently to pay the dues exacted,
and 1t will be safe to say that 5000
represents the greatest voting strength
of the party.

The figures below, carefully com.
piled by the Everett Labor Journal,
indicate that the workers of the ma.
tion are forced to build and equip the
public school by day, and then tired
and worn out in mind and body, are
forced into the difficult and exhaust
ing work of the night school. The
night school is necessary in a system
which robs a worker of large part
of what he produces and then forces
him to study by night in the forlorn
hope of making up for lost youth and
opportunity.

Some mental food for thoughtful
wage-earners in Montana is furnished
by the last United States census sta
tistics concerning the manufacturing
industries in this state. In these in
dustries are included those producing
copper, but the mining industries are
not included.
The number of such concerns in this
state in 1909 was 677. There were 49,
694 persons engaged in them, and, of
these, $50 were proprietors and mem
bers of the firms thus engaged; 1880
were salaried employees, and the av-
erage number of wage-earners, H.
655.
The aggregate of capital represent
ed in these SIT concerns amounted to
$44, 4,5SS,000, and the value of the man
ufactured products, $73,272,OO0. The
cost of materials entering into the
products was $49,1S0,0O0, which
amount deducted from the value of
the manufactured products leaves, as
the net value of those products, $24,-
$4,000. This enormous sum is the
value added by the combined labor of
the wage and salary workers.
There was paid out in salaries that
year $2,054, 900; an average Of ST.
4S8.4O for each salaried employe. The
total paid in wages was $10,901, 900,
making the average annual wage Of
each worker about $935.3O. The aver

The value of farm land and the ex-
