The farm woman's problem is Of
personal interest to all American
women because therein the house
wife's problem is more definitely
stated than anywhere and upon a
correct solution of the housewives
problem the whole problem of the
labor of women depends.
Moreover. on the farm, the hous-
wife's problem has obtained a GER

expressed in the attitude OF the De-

work of farm women, and that Is of
the greatest consequence to all wo-

justice in any of their industrial

About a year ago l petIuoned the
Secretary Of Labor, then face to face
with the task Of organizing the new
Department of Labor, to take steps
to create a bureau of woman labor.
This petition was widely circulated
and favorably commented upon by
newspapers. and has been discussed
by q great many organizations Of
women. The idea instantly found
favor with Theodore Roosevelt. A
leader of the Democratic party has
personally assured me that he would
like to see the Children's Bureau

Labor has not committed himself
on the subject. except in his first
message TO Congress. which makes
