LIQUIDATION IS LIGHT
Special to The Washington Herald.

Naenlpgton herald-
New York. Dec 13.-Nhilc liquidation
was light in the stocls market today. the
tone of the American note to Austria
resulted in a heavy stock market.
Standard issues closed with fractional
losses, but the speqialties lost from a
fraction to five points. the maximum de-
clines being in the Tobacco shares.
Some of the largest commission houses
report that the market is honeycombed
with stop-loss orders slightly under quo
tations so that any further decline in
quotations might result in a sharp de-
cline, due to the execution of these or
ders. Commission houses also report that
customers are becoming impatient at the
failure of the market to advance and
are putting selling orders in slightly un-
der the market.
Some Scattered Liquidntion.
While the selling pressure is largely
professional and brokers report a steady
growth of the short interest, the lower
level Of prices is nevertheless inducing
some scattered liquidation by the public.
Price changes at the opening today were
irregular. but confined to fractiona.
changes. Most traders declared that they
were disposed to await Austria s answer
to the American note before taking q
definite position.
Selling pressure increased in the late
light. so that final quotations were near
the lowest for the session.

stated, "and the average weekly
wage was obtained by dividing these
yearly earnings of the individual
women and girls by the number of
weeks they were employed in these
establishments.
THE wage data pertaining to
women and girls employed in the
manufacture of mems ready-made
clothing represents the results of
an investigation of 70 clothing fac
tories in Chicago" it is also stated.
while this was only 12.4 per cent
of the total number of such estab-
lishments in the city according to
the census of manufacturers the es-
Establishments investigated were large
and represented 37.4 per cent of the
women over 16 years of age en-
ployed in the industry. 1t should also
be explained that these data are from
Employers payrolls.'
The Abt interview this morning
says "at a recent mass meeting the
pay envelopes of few of our en-
ployes were shown on a screen, re-
vealing the startling fact that in one
instance a young women received
only 1892 for what was represented
as a weeks work" Abt then backs
up his sarcasm of "a startling fact
with a statement that this 1892 a
week woman was kept on the payroll
partly as charity because the employ
ers wanted to help on the unem-
ployed problem. Miss Grace Abbott,
the only person who has shown
wage pay envelopes through lantern
slides at mass meetings, said today:
'In every instance where l have
presented pay envelopes l have
shown hourly rate of pay, which is
better and clearer indication of an
employers wage policy than weekly
pay. In the Grand theater mass

Ing manufacturers OF Chicago pay

ton came in shape of a bulletin print
ed by the Chicago School of Civics
and Philanthropy months before the
present garment strike started. 1t
was written by Miss Edith Abbott
who says her sources of data are in
~ Vols. H., " and XII of the Re

Chicago in Bulletin 81 of the U. S.
Bureau of Labor, 90 the report on
Working Women in Factories, pub
lished in Illinois Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
Eight department stores and 70
mems ready-made clothing shops
turned their payrolls over to federal
investigators, Miss Abbott states, and
all women clothing workers were in
cluded in wage tables except home
finishers. And this is the way the
State street stores stand up against
the garment bosses:
Percentages in the mems ready
made clothing industry are somewhat
lower than those found for the eight |
retail stores; 29.5 per cent of the
women in the clothing trades earn
less than SIS week, whereas in the |
stores only 1876 per cent were earn
ing less than SIS week; in the CLOTH
ing trades AZ per cent were earning
less than So, whereas in the stores
only 23.3 per cent were earning less
than So; in the clothing trade again,
53.3 per cent, or more than one-haIf |
of the women and girls employed; |
were getting less than 81 a week,
while only 20 per cent were under |
this wage in the department stores"

LINING UPIN AUDUBON

Miss Mable Lodge, state organizer
for the Iowa Equal Suffrage Associa-
ton, was in town Saturday calling
upon local women. The state board
is seeking the cooperation of local
women for the purpose of organizing
every election district in the state
to create sentiment and get out the
vote when the question of votes for
women is submitted to the voters az
the next June primary.
Miss Lodge thinks that Audubon
county should be easy to organize.
since in both the 35th and seth
general assemblies he senator and
representative from the district vot-
ed for submission The only thing
necessary is to convince the women
that it is not sufficient merely to be-
ilieve. The men must know that they
do. There are few election districts
in the state which will not carry for
equal suffrage next June provided
the women who live in them organize
and keep the question before the
voters

ing strong stock company to take
over the local lighting business, and
early this week definite arrange
ments were completed whereby seven
parties of Audubon, and one of Extra
became associated with the new COM
pany This arrangement lends un-
questioned financial strength and
fosters local enterprise by local
people which is much more desir-
able than a possibility of having
these interests dominated by outside
capital or corporations.
We understand that this is the
first time Mr.. Weiland has ever been
associated with other parties in the
electric lighting business. and we are
pleased to see that he does not be-
lieve in ''the dog in the manger"
principle. and it certainly seems for
the best interests of himself and the
community to enlist ample capital in
this enterprise to enable the fullest
development necessary for the pub
lie desire. We feel sure that the peo-
pie in general will in every way en-
courage this new enterprise. 1t is
understood that the new company
will at once prepare for reconstruc-
ton and addition of machinery for
