Women Plan One Day
Strike To Show Their Power

this plan are enormous. When Il is
considered that one third of the wo-
men of voting age in New York State
work outside the home; that women
are employed in all but three trades,
that some important trades such as
telephone service are entirely In the
hands of women, It can easily be
seen that the carrying out Of our plan
may mean a tremendous loss to em-
ployers and employees alike. In fact
it Will mean almost a stopping of the
hands of the clock for any day that
may be settled upon for the "Women's
One Day Strike" But the situation
seems to require a visible demonstra-
tion Of this sort TO bring the theorist
TO a realization of the change in mod
ern conditions that force women 10
60 out of their homes whether they
will or not.
The meeting held this week favor
ed the strike plan and put the mat
ter in the hands of Mrs. Whitchouse.
Il was emphasized in the discus
sion that the strike to be called was
not in any way intended to be milf
tant action, that II was not intended
to cripple trade or make any one un-
comfortable, but that Il would be done
as gently as possible and that its
only object was TO muzzle the musty,
time-worn argument Of the anti-suf-
fragists that "woman's place was In
the home"

It is announced that the theatrical situation
in Hawaii is in the hands of a ''beneicent
trust, and that the people are going to benefit.
It may be so. The result lies with the theatri-
cal magnates. If they will steer entirely
clear of the cheap musical comedy COM
panies whose stage abilities are confined
to the slap-stick, the yelling chorus and the
vulgar joke; if they viii give a decent and en-
Pertaining program for a fair price, they will
prosper. Honolulu will patronize good shows.
That has been proved when competition was
keen. If the theatrical men are wise, they will
not let the quality of their offerings degenerate
merely because they have q monopoly.
