FRENCH EXPECT
ARRIVAL. SOON
OF US. FLEET

Brest, France, May 9.-Brest is lay
ing in a supply of American flags to
hang out when the first American war
ship steams up the Goulet, for no
"Brestofs'' is allowed to doubt for a
moment the imminent arrival of an
American squadron. In fact, the pro-
posed use of the port by the United
States navy is not only ardently ap
proved here and advocated by all the
deputies of the department of Finis-
terre but has been favorably consid-
cred in official circles.
There is about 10000 acres of har-
Dor here with from SO to so feet of
water and with all the dry docks and
naval repair shops and ship building
facilities that go with the naval port
of France.

With regard to work on which 1wo-
men had been employed before the
war, the report shows that in most
cases new roders have been issued
by the Ministry Of Munitions. Affect
ing about 100000 women. by which
for the first time a statutory wage
is applied to some of the large subsiF
diary trades engaged on munftion
! making On the whole, says the ar
ticle, these orders show a decided adj
yance-an increase in wages varying
from Is to los a week; one of them
however, fixes a regrettably low rate.
In conclusion the report states that
in trades where the organizations con-
cerned have been sufficiently strong
war conditions have produced a mark
ed rise in the wages of women, wheth-
er engaged on women'S work or IN
substitution for men; that, as far as
the evidence at our disposal goes, the
bulk of the depressed women's indus
| tries have not obtained a rise in wa.
ges anything like equivalent to the
increased cost Of living, nor Isl there
any evidence to lead us to believe
that women engaged in substition for
men have, unless in exceptional cases,
| obtained the mems full rate. The
promises to munition workers general
| ly of a fair minimum have so far ma
teria1ized precisely in proportion to the
! energy of the organizations concern
ed" Commenting on this the article
says: "The moral of this conclusion
| is that it is quite possible at the pres
i ent time to produce a substantial rise
! in women's wages, particularly in the
/ sweated industries, but that any
marked improvement is difficult, if not
impossible, to obtain, unless it is de
| nanded BY the trade unions, backed
by the power of the vote"

WAGES PAID TO
WOMEN IN THE
UNITED KINGDOM

London, England, May 9-The Com
mon Cause publishes an article on the
report issued by the Standing Joint
Committee of Industrial Women's Or
CARNATIONS which has been present
I'd to the joint Committee on Labor
Problems After the War, in which it
is pointed out that, while in certain
industries the wages Of women have
risen greatly since the war, in other
occupations the rise has been very
small, so that in proportion to the
present cost of living they are actu-
ally earning less than before.
In the mechanical engineering trade
the wages of women doing mems work
are. speaking generally, considerably
higher than the ordinary women's
rate. Women's wages have been sub
stantially raised in several trades ow-
ing to substitution having taken place
under trade union agreements. Thus
the report states that "In the cotton
trade, wooden and worsted, china and
earthenware, bleaching and dyelng,
woodwork, and the boot and shoe in
dustry, agreements are on the basis
Of equivalent pay for equivalent work,
and in at least one case Chat of the
bleachers. and dyers- contain pro-
vision that not less than four-fifths of
the mems time rate shall be paid. In
the tailoring trade also. the minimum
wage for women employed has been
raised and better opportunities for
women opened in the trade.
In some trades agreements only
cover part of the trade concerned.
There have been important local
agreements made for hosiery, china
and earthenware, baking, gloves, lace,
and other trades. According to the
report women employed on the rail-
ways in grades where they were not
employed before the war, start at the
mems minimum rate, but the Econo-
mist (F'eb. 81 states that in some COM
panies the standard is fixed at about
IS. week below the mems rates. In
some trades where substitution has
taken place without any agreement
as to wages, as in agriculture, bread
making and rubber work, the wo-
mems wages are higher than the or
binary wage for women, but do not
placed.
Speaking generally, therefore, we
may conclude, says the report, that
the substitution of women for men
, has been advantageous in the point
of money wages to the women; that in
certain trades where definite agree
ments have been made, the women's
rates approximate to the mems stand
ard; but that when there has been
no Interference with the ordinary
rules governing the labor market,
there has been disastrous lowering
of that standard.

Governor Decides
To Call An Extra
Session at Hartford

Governor Marcus H. Holcomb has
decided to call a special war session
of the Legislature, Immediately upon
the adjournment of the present regu-
lar session. He will issue the call at
the time of the joint convention for
the final adjournment of the session
now drawing to close and the indi-
cations are that, that will be in about
three weeks.
The legislators will not be called
upon to meet several days a week, as
in the regular session. The idea of
the special session is to be prepared to
meet any emergency that may arise
from the war by having the members
of the General Assembly within easy
summoning distance. The governor
is not certain yet as to what his sug-
gestion will be with respect to the
number of, sessions to Abe held each
| month, but, when previously inter-
viewed on the subject, he said that he
had in mind the adjournment of each
house, from month to month, as long
| as there was no need for extraordin-
airy legislation. This would not re-
quire the presence of all of the mem
bers, as it could be done by the Presi-
dent of the Senate and the speaker of
the House of Representatives with a
| few Of the members of each branch on
hand.
| Notwithstanding the expression of
various opinions to the contrary,
Speaker Frank E. Healy said yester-
day that the Legislature will COM
plete its business this week and be
ready on Friday to adjourn for about
two weeks to give the governor time
to pass on the finishing legislation be-
fore the final adjournment. eff the
members of the House will stay at
work, they will certainly be able to
wind up by the end of this week.
