WOMEN IN INDUSTRY.

They Are Learning That Organization
Is Necessary to Get Justice.
In 1923 the women textile workers of
Dover, n H.. struck against a wage
reduction and for a ten hour law. In
1884 800 women of Dover struck for
the right to organize. In 1884 the
wave of a poke bonnet was the signal
at which 1000 girls of the textile mills
of Lowell marched out against a cut In
wages. These are only few illustra-
tions; there are many more that indi-
cate that women were learning they
must organize and assume an inteli-
gent part in the world of industry. In
1869 the international Typographical
union admitted women on equal terms
with men. This was the first interna-
tional union to establish this right fol
women.
The women's movement for freedom
must be real and candid; it must not
allow itself to be suffocated or deyi-
talized by frivolities and pink tea imi-
tations that have so long kept women
from healthy, sane living Those who
profit by the exploitation of women
will offer substitutes for the trade un-
ion movement welfare work, voca-
tonal associations and other charitable
or semicharitable Institutions The
fight of women for industrial freedom
is made doubly difficult by the usable
tradition of the economic dependence
of women. by patronizing social work
ers and by those who would protect
woman in order to keep her from ex-
ercising her own will power and be-
coming member of society upon
equality with all.

Pensions For Machinists.

The board of directors of the Win
chester Repeating Arms company Of
New Haven, Conn. has approved the
establishment of pension system for
the employees. The system, which re-
Gently went into effect, applies to about
1900 persons. Under it's provision a
man who has worked for the company
thirty years may be, upon his request,
retired at the age of fifty-fve. A WON
an who has worked for thirty years
may be retired at the age of fifty upon
her request. The company, at its dis
cretion, may retire and place on the
pension list any male employee who
is sixty years Of age and has worked
for the company twenty-five years or
any female employee of fifty-fve who
has been with the concern for a similar
period. The amount of pension is to
be based upon the employees average
annual pay during the five years imme-
diately preceding retirement, but nc
pension is to be less than $40 month

THE CHILDREN BENEFIT.
Value of Mothers Pensions Can Hardly
Be Overestimated.

Be Overestimated.
In recent address before the San
Francisco Labor council on the value OF
mothers pensions Judge Henry Neil
said In part
The mothers pension system is not
q charity any more than the public
school is a charity. We spend money
for free education because it is the
economical and efficient thing to do
We know we cannot afford to have our
children grow up in ignorance. But
thousands of children are prevented
from obtaining an education because
their fathers are dead or for some rea
son fail to provide. The pension sys
tenn provides food, clothing, shelter
and care by the child's own mother
without which the free public schools
cannot do their work
Wherever the pension system has
been tried it's results satisfy all classes
Juvenile crime and detectives are de
creased at once because the pensioned
mothers are enabled to remain at home
and take care Of their children. II
children have good home with their
own mother juvenile crime decreases
Children raised In poverty recruit the
police stations, jails. courts, peniten.
tiaries, hospitals and asylums because
they did not get a fair start. The
spending of s10000,Oo0 this year for
mothers pensions will save the taxpay-
ers $100,0OO,000 In the coming years
The cost Of courts, prisons and asylums
has been increasing by leaps and
bounds"

recently went into effect all over Gin
cinnati. Men in these shops would MOI
be affected.
81 believe our whole fight will be vic
torious because we have chosen a psy.
Geological moment when the manufac.
turers cannot do without us. We re-
alize that if national strike comes ii
should come while the plants are busy
with war orders. and that is the reason
we are rushing the campaign with all
possible dispatch.
Business Agent Michael j. Carney
of District No. 15 of the international
Association of Machinists said the
question of national strike of the
metal workers would have been taken
up long ago had not the negotiations
been delayed by the Bridgeport strike
MANY firms in New York are taking
subcontracts from larger concerns, and
they will be the first affected" said
Mr.. Carney. "Machinists, iron mold
ers, brass and copper workers, pat
ternmakers blacksmiths, sheet metal
workers and other steel and iron work
ers are involved in the national eight
hour movement, and there Is general
understanding that all of the inter
national and national trade unions in
the metal industry will take concerted
action. should say that 100000
would be a conservative estimate of
the number of workers that would be
involved In a national strike.
'Tt is figured that for great many
years after the European war this
country will be called upon to supply
the civilized world with machinery and
other metal products. The officials of
the international metal trade unions
are therefore unanimously of the opin-
ion that they would be derelict in their
duties as officials of the unions they
represent If they did not seize upon
the opportunity now presenting itself
for insisting upon an eight hour day,
since the chances of winning ma
tonal strike are better now than they
have ever been before in the history OF
the metal workers organizations"

Hurley Team Wins

On last Thursday che home team
defeated the semi professional Luz
Verne team on the local grounds by
the score Of five to seven. Although
more than the usual number of
errors We're in evidence it was a
mighty good game to watch, and
drew the usual good attendance from
the neighboring towns. The sem
sational play of the game was the
home run made by Ray Elliott who
came to bat with two men on bases.
On August 7th the boys journeyed
over to Lennox and took their scalps
again. the final count being to III.
Lennox played in hard luck in this
game, as their catcher was injured
early in the game and the substitu-
tion Of a new man seemed to break
up. the team
The next aood game scheduled to
be played at Hurley is the game
with Yankton. and it promises to be
a fast one. The Yankton club claims
to be the best in the state, but the
Hurley boys held them down to q 2
to 0 score in the game at Yankton
about a month ago.
