Mrs. Rae Copley Raum.

San Diego, Cal, July g.
A woman wants to be mayor of
San Diego. She is the first wo-
man candidate for such posi-
ton in California since women
gained the right to vote. Her
name is Mrs. Rae Copley, sister
of Ira Clifton Copley, y. S. con
gresham from Illinois, and sis
ter-in-law of Col. D. C.. Collier,
president of the Pronunciation
MIA Exposition, to be held in San
Diego in 1915. She is a promi-
nent club-woman, a d. A. R.. and
is actively engaged in philan-
thropic work.
A novel plank in Mrs. Raum's
platform is a tax on bachelors.
She is not a prohibitionist, but be-
lieves in high license and strict
regulations strictly enforced.

gical transition from a small town
to big city. Graft and corrup-
ton, which would almost newt
ably result during such a change,
might be prevented by woman's
insight and her housekeeping pro-
c1ivities. "
The sanitary features of city
keeping will also be a plank in her
platform and in this her expe-
rience will be big aid. She is a
trained nurse and bore a prom
inent part in Red Cross relief
work on the border during the
Mexican rebellion last year.
One law and one translation. of
that law for rich and poor alike is

The strike of the 1000 operatives of the
cotton mills at New York Mills came 10
an end at Utica, " " Tuesday night,
when the strikers voted to gfo back to
work Monday. While the strikers get
an advance in wages. they refurn prac-
tically defeated in their cont ention, for
they have agreed to the terms offered
them the very day they left the mills,
an increase ranging from 10 II per
cent The company refused To recognize
the United Textile Workers OF America
and likewise to treat with any shop COM
mittee. The request for 10 per cent. in
crease in wages in all depart ments is
likewise rejected The company agrees
10 employ an interpreter and to treat
with the foreign employees individually.
The strike has been in existence for d
little less than four weeks.
In explanation of their stand rep
resentatiye of one of the largest rail-
roadsc in tile conference said, late to-
right. that the managers prefer arbi-
tration rather than .mediation. They
desire. according to tais representa-
tive, that board of arbitration be APP
pointed, composed of prominent men
similar to that which dealt with the
snthrieite coal strike in 1902 to con-
slider the whole question.
II was pointed out in behalf of the
railroads that the engineers demands
is simply the first of series of re-
quests for increased wages Eikely To
be made from every branch of their
employees. The appointment OF such a
board would create a court where the
claims OF all employees could be con-
sidered.
