unnecessarily increased. society foots
the bill by drafting a new consignment
of women from the home to the field.

the woman In the field as she pleads

We beg that they listen to the
scream of horror from the eagle on
every American dollar that is wrung
from the brow of toiling women and
hear the Goddess of Justice hiss at a
verdict that increases the want of
woman to satisfy the greed of man.
The women behind the counter and
in the factory cry aloud for sympathy
and the press thunders out in their
defense and the pulpit pleads for
mercy, but how about the woman in
the field? VIII not these powerful
opponents of human rights turn their
talent, energies and influence to her
relief? Will the Goddess of Liberty
enthroned at Washington hold the cali

the nations harvest or will she permit
the male Of the species to shove

NATIONS LABOR
PROBLEM
OVER A MILLION AND A HALF
WOMEN WORK AS FARM HANDS
IN THE UNITED STATES.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union.

Lecturer National Farmers Union.
Our government never faced so ire
mendous a problem as that now lying
dormant at the doors Of congress and
the legislatures, and which, when
aroused, will shake this nation from
center to circumference, and make
civilization hide its face in shame.
That problem is-women in the field.
The last federal census reports
show we now have $4,000 women
working in the field, most Of them
south OF the Mason and Dixon line.
There were approximately million
negro slaves working In the fields
when liberated by the emancipation
proclamation. We have freed our
slaves and our women have taken
their places in bondage. We have
broken the shackles Off the negroes
and welded them upon our daughters.
The chain-Ganu OF Civilization.
A million women in bondage in the
southern fields form the changing Of
civilization - the industrial tragedy
of the age. There is no overseer quite
SO cruel as that of unrestrained greed,
no whip that stings like the lash OF
suborned destiny, and no aucticneer's
block quite SO revolving as that OF or
ganized avarice.
The president OF the United States
was recently lauded by the press, and
very properly so. for suggesting medi-
alton between the engineers and rail-
road managers in adjusting their
schedule Of time and pay. The engi-
neers threatened to strike If their
wages were not increased from APP
proximately ten to eleven dollars per
day and service reduced from ten to
eight hours and a similar readjuet-
ment of the overtime schedule. Our
women are working Id the field, many
of them barefooted, for less than 30
cents per day, and their schedule is
the rising sun and the evening star,
and after the days work is over they
milk the cows, sIop the hogs and rock
the baby to sleep. Is anyone mediat-
ing over their problems. and to whom
shall they threaten striker
Congress has listened approvSngly
to those who toll at the forge and be-
hind the counter. and many Of our
statesmen have smiled at the threats
hnd have famed the flame OF unrest
among Industrial laborers. But won-

ICES 1t as "a lucid statement Of plain

the emergency as extraordinary, con-

''Yor ask me to call the attention
