Distinct Improvement Shown.
Although movements of stocks this
week were highly irregular there was a
distinct improvement as compared with
the pronounced heaviness Of the pre-
ceding week. There were few periods
of decided strength. which apparently
were due chiefly to short covering.
The low level Of prices reached recently
attracted no considerable amount of out
side buying. and trading remained largely
in the hands of the professional element.
Spectators felt their way cautiously
and were inclined to await a clearer
light on some of the problems hanging
over the market. Chief among them are
the effect of the new tariff law on bust
ness and the influence of currency legis-
lation.

WAGE EQUALS THAT OF MEN
Women of Norway Employed In Pos
tai Service Held In Fight Against
Lower Salary.

1t seems predestined that eternal
vigilance shall be the price paid by
women for equal pay for equal work
the world over For fifty years Nor
wegian women in the postal service
have been paid the same salaries as
men for the same work. Five years
ago conservative administration pro-
posed lower wages for the woman
postal employees as good way to
reduce government expenses. The
measure was lost, and the question
was allowed to rest in peace until
last year, when another conservative
administration again proposed to dis
eliminate against women by making
their rises in salary, after certain
periods of service, lower than those
of the men holding the same positions
and with the same claim to advance
ment. The majority report of the
committee that had the bill under
consideration was in favor of it's &C.
ceptance. But the elections of 1912
resulted in the return of a majority
of liberals to the storthing, and the
formation of a liberal cabinet. The
new postmaster general sided with
the minority report On the PROPOSE
ton, and a great many of the storth-
ing members also espoused the wom-
ems cause. The final vote stood SO
against the bill to 80 for, and the
woman employees will continue to re-
ceive equal pay for equal work as
heretofore.

IS 1T RIGHT TO ADVERTISE COCA
