later. through a political deal" the suffrage amendment was Jumped to- gcther with the prohibition and II other amendments, contrary to all par Hamentary procedure" Mrs. Hilles said:
 The sooner the women of this country, more than half of whom are unreprcsented in government, awaken to the fact that this is the kind of un- just treatment to which their most vital interests are subjected, the soon- CT will there rise, as indeed it has risen, a tide of action that will put an end to such tactics. Individual lib- erty is the essential basis of free gov ernment, and under our form of gov ernment both political eXpediency and political justice demand the national enfranChisement of women. Until all the women of this country are free, none of them are free.
 '"The hopeless task of state referen- dums has taught women the futility of such action and the necessity for con centration on the federal amendment Undoubtedly enough states are now won to enable the most slleptiCaI ob- server to see that the political power already in the hands of women them selves is sufficient to win freedom for all women"

55-HOUR WEEK GRANTED
 WITH NO LOSS IN PAY
Generous Treatment PIeases EnpIoyes
 of Assawaga Company at DayvIIe.

True to a plan that he outlined some time agO-during the spring-in the columns of The Bulletin, Angus Park, head of the Assawaga WOOlen com pany, the chief industry at Dayville. has caused to be posted at the plant notice that, beginning next Monday, q 55 hours a week working schedule will become effective for all employees This is a reduction of five hOurs-apDrOxi- mately half a day-fOr all male em- ployes. Neither is the good news of a shorter working day tempered by any monetary loss, for the company has adjusted it's wage scale so that increases sufficient to give the em- ployes as much money per week under the short schedule as they are now re- ceiving for 50 hours of labor. The employees are elated over the change and the concerns generous treatment, which Is regarded by them as strictly In line with modern methods of mill operation and amicable relations and thoughtful consideration between em- ployer and employe.
 The change to a 55-hour week will also be made Monday at other mills in which MT. Park is interested at Hanover and East Glastonbury, and is already in force at another of his group of mills in Rhode Island. About 800 employees will benefit by the change, which Is entirely voluntary.
 MT. Park made clear in the spring that. following the advances in wages, it would be impossible to reduce the working hours and allow the concerns in which he is interested to proflta- ably discharge their contracts.
 At that time, though shorter work ing days were not being demanded by his employees, MT. Park said: 'T be- lieve in a 55-hour week for my en- ployes and I want them to have it. It is their right. It would be impossible to make the necessary adjustments now, however, but if the employees are patient, say until August, I shall make the change"

WOMEN ARE TO EXERCISE
 THEIR POLITICAL POWER. Mrs. William Kent Tells Representa- tiVes Of the Woman's Party.

Colorado Springs, Col. Aug. H. Declaring that only a small turnover of votes was needed in any of the F western woman suffrage states to change the result of the presidential election in November, Mrs. William Kent of hentitield, Cal, wife of Repre- sentative Kent, national chairman of the Wilson NCn-Partisan league, to- night tod the representatives of the Woman's party gathered here in con- ference that they held in their hand the power to secure a federal amend ment enfranchising the women of the nation.
 The time has come for the fulfill ment of this dream which many years ago came into the vision of Susan B. Anthony and a few other women, but which gradually spread until today it is the desire of vast majority of the women all over the United States" said Mrs. Kent The women today have the political power to demand their rights, and they propose to see to it that justice he extended to every woman in the United States.
 'OniE a small percentage of the more thon 4,000 GOO women votes in the west will Le sufficient to determine election results al tho polls in Noven- Der Not all of these women will vote with the wOman's party, some of them dividing along old party lines. Many women will remain away from the polls so will many men. That will not alter the result and does not change the important political fact that those voting with the wCman's party for the best interests of the fed eTal woman suffrage amendment will have balance of power vital to the interest not only of the political party desiring our support but vital also to the cause of woman suffrage in the United States. The women of the west will not fail in their duty to themselves and to the other women of the nation.

This was at the rate of ST5 a box, the same as was paid for those now in use in the borough; but that style of box has been discontinued ny the manufacturers so it will be nec- essary to take the present style of inn proved boxes, at a cost of $1Q0 each.
