Experienced Workmanship.
Omaha, Nov. ITO the Editor Of
The Bee: ! note In your Issue OF
Thursday that employers in the build2
ing trades have come to a realization
that all labor requires skill, and that
the workman who is steadily en-
ployed at one particular sort Of task
is continually finding ways to make
his work more congenial and conse-
ouently adding to his own efficiency
and becoming more profitable to his
employer. The workman who is
thoroughly acquainted with the re-
quirements Of his position needs no
boss to direct him; he knows how his
work ought to be done and does 1t In
the easiest and most expeditions man
ner II given the opportunity. A good
workman is handicapped By having
an ofiicious or nagging boss around.
1t is an economic waste for an en-
ployer to refuse experienced work
men the compensation to which
they are plainly entitled, and put In
their places workmen who are in no
way acquainted with the work re-
quired of them. Changing forces usu-
ally entails financial loss
The strike of the building trades
1 In hAr fn, he
ditions seemingly proved futile, and
many of the strikers, skilled in their
line, were compelled to leave the city
Now one of the building contractors
publicly intimates he would be glad to
employ those men at increased pay
If he could get them.
1t would have been better for all
concerned, including the public, had
the employers done their real thinking
previous to the strike rather than
after. Il. j. COPENHARVE.
Women and Emotional Voting.
Auburn, Neb.. Nov. Ito the
Editor of The Bee: do not write
to send lines of coincidence to Colonel
Frank Agnew, who mourneth be-
cause his counsel was not needed
WHCH ne ucCldTtu ttidt The Wpfilel
were too emotional to be- capdid vot-
ers and who can now point to the, fact
that the women voted for Wilson be-
cause Of the cry, He kept us out Of
war" 1t is apparent that the gem
tleman is doubly dlspleased with the,
women because they did not vote as
he did.
There is one argument for female
suffrage; It's this: 1t is right for our
mothers, sisters, wives and daughters
who are as greatly interested In the
affairs of the government the well be-
ing Of the young and the good of So
ciety as are the fathers, brothers. hus-
bands and sons and any question as to
with which party they will vote is a
question out Of place in government
by, for and Of the people.
The emotion worked up by the cry
that The kept US out Of war" might
have been merely emotional had II not
been for Candidate Hughes and eN
Candidate Roosevelt who in their
speeches denounced the steps in d.
plomacy taken by the present admin
istration and emphasized the words:
III ! had been president" If the
women in any state in the union voted
for Mr.. Wilson hoping that peace and
not war would be the outcome then
the voting is far more commendable
than being voted for by party bosses,
