WORKING GIRLS.
SUFFRAGE RALLY

Last Sunday evening a suffrage
rally of working girls was held in the
Trades and Labor Assembly hall,
which, though not as well attended as
some had hoped, was enthusiastic and
apparently became starting point
for suffrage propaganda that will
soon gain great Roadway among the
working girls and women of this Sec
ton.
Miss Katherine Mills, national rep
resentatiye working locally, was the
active spirit behind the meeting, al
though it was held under the auspices
Of the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly, and Chairman A. V. Fisher
of the legislative committee, presided.
Those who attended were well re-
paid by the addresses. DR.. Mary
Baron Monroe, tracing the suffrage
states chart" gave a most interesting
explanation Of how the neighbor
states to Arizona, seeing that suffrage
was a good thing across their bor-
ders, went and did likewise. DR.. Har-
riet B. Jones who. has spent years as
a most active and public spirited wo-
man working for the uplift Of the
people of the state Particularly the
women and children, with no possible
hope of personal benefit, gave some
information of living con-
ditions in th interior. "The poorest
homes in Wheeling she said, ARE
luxurious beside the shacks that are
the only homes for thousands of fami-
lies in this state There are homes
where girls Of fifteen and under start
housekeeping as wives, ignorant and
and untaught, and in houses without
even window, with only the chimney
for ventilation and the earth for floor,

But it will certainly come as soon

question to the Ohio Mine Workers,

Sir Rider Haggard to
Investigate Chances For
Empire Building After War

London, Feb. Is. - Sir Rider Hag-
gard has left England on a trip
around the world. with a mission from
the Royal Colonial Institute TO investi-
gate the chances for empire building
after the war.
His plan, backed by the institute
and its important officials, including
Lord Curzon, is to prevent the emigra-
ton TO foreign countries of soldiers
and their families after the war and
10 direct steady streams of these war
veterans to the British colonies -
South Africa, Australia, New Zealand.
Canada and the many insular colonies
thus recruiting the population with
a sturdy and intelligent class and
holding them within the British en-
pire.
1t is the latest phase of the i'm
perial movement which seeks to bind
together the mother country and the
oversee dominions into a vast con-
federacy. The effect of the movement
would of course be to keen war
emigrants from going to the United
States or South American countries
where the status as imperial citizens
would eventually be lost.
