INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS COM
MISSION REPORT SUPPORTS
EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
Argues Also For Equal Pay.

The report of the industrial relations
commission signed by Commissioners
Frank p. Walsh, John B. Lennon and
Austen B. Garrison, as summarized for
lions of the suffragists. The report
states:
"As a result of their unprotected con-
dition women and children are exploit
ed in industry, trade, domestic service
and agriculture to an extent which
threatens their health and welfare and
enace the well being of future gen
erationss
1.-THE competition of women and chill
dren is a direct menace to the wage
and salary standards Of men.
1.-THE position of women in industry
has been rendered doubly hard by rea-
son of their lack of training for indus
trial employment, by the oversupply Of
such labor and the consequent compe-
tition, by their traditional position of
dependence and by their d~isfranchise-
ment."
The report recommends
"The recognition by public opinion
and in such legislation as may be en-
acted of the principle that women
should receive the same compensation
as men for the same service.
Until this principle is recognized
and women are accorded equal politi-
cal rights the extension of state pro-
lection of women through legislation
regulating working conditions, hours
of service and minimum wages Is high.
ly desirable.
"The increased organization of work
ing women for self protection and the
improvement of their individual condi-
lions.
"The inclusion of all women working
for wages, whether in industry, trade,
domestic service or agriculture, under
future legislation regulating their
wages, hours or working conditions

Opposing Politicians Short.
sighted.

East Orange. = The politician who
opposes woman suffrage is so short
sighted as not to be able to look for
ward to November, 1916. according to
Mrs. Mary X. Colyin, first vice presi-
dent of the New Jersey State Associa-
ton For Woman Suffrage.
"At the last presidential election the
states In which women voted con-
trollad 81 of the 266 electoral votes.
AT the next presidential election, not
counting the states In which suffrage
campaigns are successful this year. the
states where ONE now vote control
81 electoral votes, or more than
New York and Pennsylvania combined.
Six additional states-AriZona, Kan
sas, Oregon, Illinois, Montana and Ne
vada-haye given the women the right
to vote for president since the election
of 1912. They now have a little more
than one-third of the electoral college
vote. A candidate to be successful can
not afford to forget that fact.
"And yet the Essex county boss of
New Jersey is bending every effort to
defeat woman suffrage in this state.
1t does not sound like political sagaci-
ty to allow the women of the west to
control so many electoral votes. Has
Jim Nugent lost his keenness in pOlit-
ical matters, Or why do we find him
trying to mobilize his forces against a
measure Of political Importance in the
immediate futl&e?
"He recently boosted that he could de
liver so per cent of the vote in Essex
county. AS a matter Of fast, we are
finding every day numbers of men who
assure us that they are not part of the
so per n and that they mean to
vote for us. We do not think so poor
ly of the electorate as does MI. Nugent,
and it is obvious that his opposition to
woman suffrage Is based on the fear
that the woman's vote could not be
easily delivered
mo candidate for president need ex-
pect to receive the ninety-one electoral
votes controlled by the suffrage states
unless he stands unqualifiedly for WON
an suffrage. And one-third of the cleo
toral college vote can throw it one way
or another. We agree with the west
ern suffragists that this fact is impor-
tant and should be given careful
thought by every citizen. The western
women have learned the power Of the
ballot, and the vote which they will
turn out next year at the presidential
election will be a source of astonish-
ment to politicians who are not awake
to It's Importance"
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1915-09-03

We are often told in good faith thar,
however 1t may have been fifty years
ago, today women have no grievance.
Let any man who says this put him
self for a moment in a woman's place.
Suppose that men had the right to go
to college, to enter any of the profes-
sions, to handle their w property,
to speak and write and organize. But
suppose that ONE alone were allow
ed to vote and that no man had any
say as to the expenditure of the taxes
that he was required to pay. Would
men think that they had a grievancel

Diet When Reducing.

The question OF food is important to
the woman reducing; and OF SO much
the quantity as the quality; not how
much but what you cat And what
you eat must vary from one day to
another according to the amount of work
done. DO not cut down your food ON
the day when You have exercised more
than usual. That is when You need the
full supply. On this matter you will
have TO exercise your own Judgment. In
general, avoid fats as butter, cream
and cocoa; starchy foods, as breads and
cereals; producing vegetables, as
potatoes, beans and carrots; all pastries
and sweets. OF course they are the
very things which you take the most
delight in eating. That is just how you
have put on so much flesh. Eat plenty
of fruit, except bananas and melons.
Meat, if not taken in excess. poultry
and fish may be added to your list.
Drink water, preferably hot, between
meals. Not more than one glass should
ever be taken with meals. A hot lem
onade before retiring is very good

The Menace of Japan.

The world will hope that Presiden
Wilson is right in his belief that The
present situation in China will clear il
: self. 1t is impossible to believe that
Japan will actually present an ultima
tum to China which she proposes TO back
up with force if it is rejected, The de-
mands OF Japan were severe from the
Ioutset, but they were Of such a nature
that it was to be expected that they
would follow the ordinary course of dip
lomatic negotiations in which all the
chances were that Japan would get the
best of tho bargain Attention has been
called in these columns frequently TO the
far-reaching effects of these demands,
and to their relation to the policy of the
open-door and territorial integrity to
which the Japanese government is
pledged equally with ourselves. We had
not supposed that Japan would appeal
to arms to support her high demands.
In threatening TO do so she is confirming
the worst fears of other powers. and is
showing herself to be under the domna
| ton Of the same kind OF militarism that
inspires Germany. Might is to be right
now between China and Japan, as it Is
between Germany and her enemies. The
political theory to be put in force is:
Japan demands China must yield" II
this becomes effective, Japan will at
one stroke ALLEVIATE from herself the sym
pathy and respect OF all other powers
who do not believe in such monstrous
propositions. Let lis still hope that our
present information is not correct.
The president OF China may defend
his capital, Peking, but there is no like
lihood of its being menaced. 1t is alto
gether probable that the japanese will
content themselves with occupying the
provinces OF Shantung and Fukien
(Which is opposite Formosal and with
gaining foothold near Hankow on the
Yangtse river, where she can control
the output OF Chinese iron. If Yuan
Shin kai is satisfied with protecting
himself in his capital and allowing the
outside province to shift for themselves
he will give the best kind of handle |
to the revolutionaries. who, under Sun
Natsen, are still plotting to get control |
of the government. Many of these rev
leaders are still in Japan and
il can be taken for granted that they
will attempt to make the most of the
present opportunity. 1t is not apparent
what they may be able TO do, but this
much is certain they can be a disturb
ne element. China has sufficient milf
tary strength under Yuan Shih-kai to
