ell to dictate in advance how prisoners
should be handled by officers. He
did not think the chief should be crit
icized for imprisoning the girls.
Minton charged that the matron of
the Industrial school had asked that
the girls be imprisoned in the city
Jail for 10 days as punishment for
trying to escape.
An amendment was offered by StOlz
that it was the sense of the council
that persons wards of the state be

Macy scoffed at Minton's fear of a

might make.
Stolz's amendment was accepted by
Minton and was adopted.

DIScoUNTING THE FUTURE

Washington, March Calculated,
no doubt, by the fact that an amend
ment to the sundry civil appropriation
bill was adopted in the House, pro-
hibiting the expenditure of money ap-
propriated to the legal department of
the United States from being used to
prosecute labor unions under the
Sherman antitrust law, the Attorney
Generals office has authorized the
enactment of a suit under that law
against the Electrical Workers I'm
ions of Chicago. The Department OF
Justice has asked the United States
District Court, of Chicago, to enjoin
the officials, members and partisans
of the two local Electrical Workers
Unions from doing anything except
eating and breathing. There is strike
on against the Postal Telegraph Com
pany and the Injunction is asked for
on the ground that the company is a
common carrier and the services es-
sential and must be continued for the
benefit of the public and the govern.
ment, which is an extensive user OF
the telegraph. The Injunction asked
for is also aimed at the practice OF
picketing in connection with labor
disputes. The government also asks
among many other requests, that the
members of the unions be prohibited
from "persuading" any of the strike
breakers to cease their employment

The speaker then recited the his
tory of the earlier forms of working
class exploitation, beginning with chat

epoch was succeeded by feudalism
and why, and finally gave to reasons

''The present century has witnessed
the birth Of two vital movements
the woman movement and the Social

of women who realize that they live
in condition of sex slavery. This
results in a demand for political

is bigger and broader, 1t realizes that
