WHERE SODA HELPS.

The housekeeper will find pure bak-
ing soda N great help In the household.
Used with cream Of tartar, 1t makes an
excellent baking powder. A pinch of
soda added to boiling green vegetables
improves their flavor and helps to pre-
serve their green color. A little soda
added to beans when cooking makes
them soft and sweet. A pinch Of BIZ
carbonate of soda put in the milk that
Is slightly soured will restore its sweet
hess. Tinware boiled with some baking
soda will assume a fine bri1liancy and
will not tarnish so easily:

wages so much lower than men in
all grades of industry because they
are willing to economic and slave
to live within those wages, willing to
work ten hours in a factory or store
and then go home and sew and do
laundry work and cook a meageI
meal on a One-jet stove instead OF
insisting on a sufficient wage to en-
able them to have those night tasks
done by others, as men do?
Rose Schneiderman, who is here
from New York to organize girls in
the waist, dress and white goods in
dustries, believes that is the reason,
and Rose Schneiderman ought to
know because she helped organize
$4,000 waist makers and 5000 white
goods workers in New York city and
helped them lift their industries above
the starvation basis to one Of fair
comfort.
Like so many of the women who
are doing big work in helping eman-

she seems like a child, but how much
of a fighter she is you may judge for
yourselves.
I'VE are going to organize the
workers in these industries in Chi
cago,'' she said to me. Conditions
here are worse than they were in
New York in some respects. The fac
tories are located in alleys, you might
say. The wages are terrible.
"a strong Polish girl told me-and
she had such a tired look in her eyes
that no matter how hard she
worked she had never been able to
make more than SO a week, and she
has been three years in the same fac
tory.
THAT SO is a maximum wage. You
can imagine what the minimum is,

thirty-five weeks work out of the en-
tire year"
How do they live the rest of the
time?" I asked. 1.-The maximum you
have named would not more than pay
a girls expenses during the time she
was working"
Miss Schneiderman shrugged her
shoulders. "They have to i've" she
said, tersely. Some of them live off
their parents, some of them go in
debt, some of them save a little by
the economies women are forever
pFacticing."
Her voice grew a little strained.
''YOU never hear of men working in a
factory ten hours and then going
home and making their clothes and
doing their laundry and cooking
themselves a cup of tea to drink with
a couple of rolls, but that is what
women do.
Men demand enough money to
hire these things done and that is
why men get enough money to have
them done. Instead of demanding
more money the woman practices
more economies.
yet if she would demand she
could get. When we had the big
strike in New York in 1910 the girls
stayed out thirteen weeks until they
had to return to work because SO
many were actually starving, and the
strike was called a lost one.
But it wasn't lost. In 1913, when
we were in a position to stay out IN
til we won, the employers did not
dare take a chance on a strike. 1t
had cost them too many millions be-
fore, it had shown them the endur-
ance of weak, delicate women and
the public itself, the public that sits
in its luxurious drawingTooms, had
had its eyes opened to what other
women were enduring and the lesson
was not forgotten, so the EMPLOYERS
