manner
Without touching upon the tariff

Bull Moose platform and explained
clearly points touching upon better
conditions Of the child labor stipulation
and urged for the conservation Of hui

rule which place the lives and health
Of the employees in jeopardy. Also the
eight hour law was touched upon Mrs
Johnson holding chat it is the right
OF every workingman OF woman 10

alton between the arduous working
hours and that where industries are
operated seven DAYS in the week d
provision should be made. making it
possible for at least one days resi-. in
every week for each employe and
where industries were continuous "a.
hour establishments. she favored leg.
islation for a compulsory maintainanee
Of three shifts, each Of eight hours
duration.
The convict labor system should be
abolished, she said, and while d man
is in prison, his family should receive
the profits from his labors in that
prison to guard against possible des
titute circumstances of his depend
ents. Further than this She favored
an old age pension system. similar te
4 the system now in vogue In England
The subject Of the attempted assas
sination OF Col. Roosevelt was no
touched uDon except in a general way
Mrs. Johnson's talk gave evidence
that she is close student Of the is
