Judge Lindsey Plans to Protect
Motherhood Thru Neu Crusade
Advocates Horses Rights for Working Women Ad-
dress Before Open Forum League; State OuDes Much
to Mothers Who Propagate Mankind

That poor mothers during the period
of childbirth should be given as kind
consideration as a horse is the new re-
form being advocated by Judge Ben B.
Lindsey OF Denver's Juvenile Court He
outlined a proposed law covering this
subject at a meeting of the Open Forum
League in the Auditorium hotel last
Sunday afternoon. In fact it was an
appeal for 'horses' rights for working
women"
Judge Lindsey upges that any prospec-
tive mother, vithoul iyeans, may receive
help from the statS fp- order that she
might have proper rest before and after
maternity. His long experience in the
Juvenile court has taught the Judge that
something should be done to relieve the
distress of hundreds of women who do
so much to propagate the human race
under circumstances that more fortunate
ones never know of.
Judge Lindsey told his interested au.
dience Of the old. old tragedy of the
girls, thousands of them, who have be-
come child mothers. who have gone forth
into the valley and the shadow of life,
not with that essential comfort and at
tention due motherhood, but in the midst
of misery and hardship.
Must Lose Their Babies.
Hundreds of these girls have told me
how they worked until few days be-
fore the baby came" said Judge Lind
sey. "And Afterwards, when they were
weak and suffering and when both
mother and baby needed care and guard
ing, they have returned to work, little
sick, ailing, discouraged mothers. So
az H. hh -. N~I 4.
deserted, is lost forever by death to the
girl who yearns for it and wants to give
it a mothers love and care"
Judge Lindsey's plans call for the en-
actment of law that would enable
a prospective mother to come before his
court and, at secret hearing, secure
state aid SO that she might devote her
full time to the duties of maternity.
both before and after the birth of her
child.
In other words. she would be given the
rest which horse is given and the state,
playing the role of the kind master,
would enable her to secure it.
Would Save Many Lives.
"The poverty and stress of economic
conditions is so great that thousands of
women and young girls must labor to
the last and become mothers when they
are unfit and then their children arc
bound to suffer from that uhfitness," !"
Judge Lindsey said. "If such law as
I propose were passed, there could be no
excusce for mothers denying their babies
the care which SO many fail to get and
the lack Of which results in the terrible
mortality rate among the babies Of this
country. one-eighth of whom die within
short period after BIRTH"
From some angles we are more con-
cerned about some animals than some
people," Lindsey said. "Denver laws and
rules in the health restriction of live

Of the roads offered compromises in the
way Of increases in wages under the
five cent demand: others offered the
eight hour day with no increase, while
still others offered to equalire the rates
of pay to be on the same footing with
competing companies, but without wage
increases or the eight hour day.

LAWSON ANDDOYLE
In NORTHERN FIELD
Address a Mass Meeting Of
Miners at Lafayette
Complete Reorganization Of the Dis
trict Now Assured, and Series Of
Meetings Being ARRANGED
Especial correspondenee.)

LOUISVILLE, Colo, Sept. 90. - Coal
miners in the northern part of the state
are waking up, and a campaign of organ
:zation is now on similar to that in the
southern field. A big mass meeting of
miners was held at Lafayette last Sun
day. and much enthusiasm shown.
The meeting was addressed by John
r. Lawson, international board member
for Colorado, and Ed l. Doyle, secre-
tary treasurer of District is, United
Mine Workers of America.
While the unions in lafayette and
Louisville have maintained their charters
thru all the recent trouble, a lethargy
followed calling off of the strike. Now,
however, all the miners in the northern
field are again anxious for organization,
realizing it is their only hope for gain
ing better economic conditions. Indiea-
tions now point to solid reorganization
all along the line, and the unions in this
section will soon be stronger than be-
fore the four years strike. Colorado
will soon be one of the best organized
coal mining states in the Jurisdiction of
the U. NJ. W. of A
A series of mass meetings are being
arranged for the various coal camps Of
the northern field, the next one being
scheduled for Louisville.

WYOMING MINERS
SIGN WAGE SCALE
Agreement Reached With 0p-
orators In Conference
Especial correspondence.)

CHEYENNE, wyo., Sept. 2o.-An
agreement has been reached between the
United Mine Workers of District % and
the coal operators in northern Wyoming
for a new wage scale and working con-
ditions covering a period of two years
from September l, 1916. It is similar
to that signed by the operators and
miners of the Southern district last July.
The agreement resulted from a confer
ence lasting three weeks.
The miners of the Northern district
obtain a small increase in compensation
and some improvements in working con-
ditions. The scale for pick mining is in
creased cents, that 70. shooting and
loading coal 2 cents, that for straight
loading l cent, and the day wage of la
borers is increased cents per day.
These increases are slightly less than
those which were obtained for the South
ern district, but inasmuch as the previ-
GUS scale of the Northern district was
slightly higher than that Of the South.
ern district, the miners Of the two dis
tricts now will receive virtually the
same compensation.

We have some very good laws and we
need few others, but we need mostly
the equipment for the enforcement of
those laws that we have.
Great Service to Humanity.
'The greatest service I have been able
to render to my own city and state has
been thru the fact that insist on being
away from Denver during a period that
is used by other judges and officers for
their vacation time, and accepting an oc-
casiona1 invitation to great conventions
and conferences devoted to humanitarian
and social work. 1t has been this work
that has made Denver and its juvenile
court famous thruout the world. 1t has
helped as much as any one thing to keep
Denver on the map. 1t has been one of
the biggest assets that Denver has.
''The people of Denver are proud as
am proud of the fact that I have carried
her message of child-saving and the
rights of women to the world. 1t has
helped millions of women and children.
1t has saved more than millions in
money.
Premium on Motherhood.
Colorado must not lag behind the
procession. During the sixteen years of
the Juvenile court of Denver, We have
added over $50 items of laws and sys-
TENS of work for women and children.
Under our economic system women
do not receive the same rights that are
accorded to animals In horses rights
for women We propose to put a premium
on motherhood. There sre penalties
enough under economic conditions for
the woman who responds to the noblest
part of her mission.
"In 1908 at meeting at the juvenile
court of Denver, presided over by the
late Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker, We pro-
posed the first mothers compensation
or pension law. 1t met with little re-
sponse. One other state finally sue
ceeded by few months in getting the
first law of this kind. We followed
within less than a year after, but only
by measure carried thru funds raised
by the efforts of the Juvenile court.
This is our present mothers compensa-
tion law.

IN WEST VIRGINIA.

Charleston, w. va.-There was dur
Ing the statewide campaign consider
able discussion rs to what would be-
come Of the money and property In
vested In the liquor business In this
state, and statement was made that
money invested In breweries would be
absolutely lost, and that on account Of
the great number of buildings being re-
leased on account of the saloons going
out of business. rental values would
very materially suffer. and that the
price Of real estate would necessarily
depreciate in value. This has proved
absolutely untrue. Most Of the build
ings occupied by saloons were con-
tracted for before the saloons were va
Gated. at a very much increased rental.
Breweries OF the state are being, or
have been, converted into lines OF legi-
innate enterprise, and so far as we are
able to learn are producing as much
profit as they did when they were be-
Ing operated as breweries. For In
stance:
The Kanawha Brewing company, at
Charleston, has been converted into q
cold storage plant. and is now being
used for that purpose by the Biagi
Fruit and Produce company. a large
wholesale concern In the city Of
Charleston.
The brewery at Blueheld was
turned into an Ice cream factory, and
the ice plant which was connected
with the brewery Is used for making
Ice, and both departments seem to be
doing well. They seem to have q big

The Fairmont Brewing company. at

that will give local market for sheep.
