Equal Pay For Equal Work.

Chicago, Nav 25. = Under the
above caption the Union Leader,
official magazine of organized street
car men of this city, says:
Notwithstanding the suggestion
ard advice of national council of
defense that existing standards In
relation to labor should be main
tanned, the labor crusbers in indus
try have already commenced TO re
duce the wage cost of their plants
by the substitution Of women work
ers for men at reduced rates of pay.
Employers who follow this policy
should be branded as traitors.
While the declaration of state
of war has had little effect upon the
supply of men for jobs so far, press
reports state that number of man
ufacturers are displacing men with
women at less wage than was
paid the men.
Equal pay for equal work for
women who take the places of men
in industry is the trade union slo-
gan. Women who are forced into
industry because their husbands,
fathers, sons and brothers have been
called TO the front TO protect the
liberties of our nation are not only
sharing the burders of war, but
must support those who are left be.
hind. The employer who would
take advantage of a war crisis to
exploit the labor Of women should
be pronounced not only unpatriotic
but a traitor.
Whenever it becomes necessary
to substitute women for men in the
industrial field, the women should
receive the same wage as the men.
There should be no variation from
this rule. Placing low paid women
in competition with men in any
line of industry will destroy pres.
ent standards aud work an injury
1 to all.
The sex of the worker must
not determine the pay, Where
women are doing the same work as
men they should receive the same
wages.

Convict Labor Scored

Hartford, Conn. May 25.-Con-
tract prison labor is scored in re-
port by the state legislative com
mittee appointed to investigate con
ditions in the New Haven county
jail.
The present contract for the la
Dor of prisoners is unbusinesslike ;"
it is stated. "The county actually
receives about N cents day for
each of the prisoners furnished to
the chair company. In addition to
this the company is provided with
heat and electric current at the ex
pense of the county and the con.
tractor deducts from the contract
price of the labor and the actual
cost of electric current used for
power purposes. There is also a
reduction owing to change in the
hours of employment in the factory.
"The county actually receives as
net profit on the contract little, if
anything, for the labor of the pri-
soners, after the deductions afore
said have been made.

Oppose Food Gambling,

Fargo, N. d. May 25.-At q
meeting of Equity Exchange stock
holders, including about 20 farmers
fr 3m various parts of the state, the

the farmers of the northwest, to
take the following steps as war
measures:
To prohibit trading in futures
and all speculative deals in foed
products,
ITO guarantee an adequate sup
ply of labor for handling crops.
"To fix sufficient minimum
price on wheat and other farm pro-
ducts.
"To take charge of railroad
transportation so that food crops
shall not be delayed in reaching
the market.
To levy a tax on large incomes,
war profits and luxuries sufficient
to bear all the expenses of the war. ;"

Desperate Tactics Against
Labor Laws.

Springfield, ILL.,. May 25.-In an
attempt to block the passage Of an
eight hour law for women and an
anti injunction bill opponents of
this legislation have been circulat-
ing the story that the council of
national defense has urgeo the de.
feat of ali labor measures aud that
Governor Lowden has been advised
by Secretary of war Baker that la
boris anti-injunction bill should be
Gefeatei.
President Walker of the state
federation of labor telegraphed sec
retary of War Baker relative to this
story aud received the following
reply:
Have sent no message to gov
ernor of Illinois beyond that pub
lished statement of the council of
national defense of April I urging
that there be no breakdown or re-
Taxation in legal safeguards upon
hours or conditions of labor by
reason of war emergency unless, in
some specific instances; the council
of national defense in Washington
declared emergency conditions jus
tilted departure. Refer to local
newspapers for full text of action
by council of national defense.
In reply to query on the same
subject Miss Agnes Nestor of the
International Glove Workers un-
ion received the following reply
from President Gompers:
"The safeguard of the nation in
peace or in war depends that the
eight hour day shall obtain. An s
hour day makes better workers,
more productive workers, and safe
guards their lives and health Nc
greater measure could be employed
in defense of our republic and its
perpetuity than the establishment
of the eight hour day throughout
the republic of the United States "
