Bread is 16 cents a loaf in London

lion wage earners are under arms,

what women now earn in munition
factories"
Well, let US consider the wage
scale of munitionettes.
Making munitions is admittedly
dangerous work. Women entering
many of the shops must change
their boots for special slippers, as
sumo overalls, discard their hairpins
and wear fireproof caps. A nail, a
bit of wire, might cause an explo-
sion. People should be paid for TAX
ing such chances.
Sir VIM. Bardmore, the big NUM-
ton master of Glasgow, declares the
work done by women workers in his
factories, whether by night or day,
is astounding" being just as good
and just as speedy as that of men.
Night work by women is no longer
prohibited. While England is under
military law (and this threatens to
be a long, long war;, all labor laws
are abrogated. Now the minister of
munitions of war factories pledged
the government to establish an equal
wage scale for men and women and
to see that there would be no sweat

minister, utilize the services of

OUR LAND.
Self.poised serene, she sees afar
The nations fronting might with
might;
Her peaceful gates she doth unbar
Upon her harvest white.
No hate she knows; none thinks to
lift
The hand against her tranquil stars;
H.sr liberal palm gives gift for gift;
Healed are her ancient scars.
To nobler tasks her giant hand
She sets. than those that blast and
blight;
She spurns the sceptre and the brand;
She holds aloft the light.
She hears the kingly voice sublime
That, Christlike. pleads for wars sur
cease;
And in the waiting ears of Time
Her organ lips plead "Peace!"
