AID FOR WOMEN WORKERS.
Wisconsin Industrial Commission Puts
Ban on Night Work.

Ban on Night Work.
Night work of women in Wisconsin
between p. M. and G a. m. has been
stopped by order of the industrial com
mission On petition of the Wisconsin
State Federation of Labor, the Wiscon-
sin Council of Social Agencies and the
Wisconsin Consumers league, the com
mission, after hearings and investiga-
tions, decided that night work In fac
tories and laundries is objectionable
from the standpoint of the statutes for
bidding employment prejudicial to the
life, health, safety and welfare of wo-
men," The decision Is in accord with
the regulation contained in a state law
enacted I'm 1913 and declared void by
the courts last year
The commission so far, however, has
not attempted TO regulate night work
in mechanical and mercantile establish
ments, restaurants, telegraph and tele
phone Offices express and transporta-
tion houses Neither does it include
'pea canneries" within the term manu-
factories, 50 that in such places women
may work any number of hours as was
possible formerly in New York state
Finally the commission failed to reach
any conclusion on the subject of hours
to be permitted per day announcing
that further time was necessary to look
into the matter
Commissioner J. D. Beck alone adj
vocated immediate action in favor Of
shorter working days arguing
That the eight hour day win soon be-
come recognized as necessary to the wo-
men factory workers II their health and
welfare and lhc welfare of the future
generations are to be fully guarded
The Kansas state industrial welfare
commission has outdistanced the Wis
consin body in this matter Of hours by
establishing on July 28 n nine hour day
for women in mercantile establishments.
Although the merchants pleaded that 1t
was necessary 10 keep their stores open
later than o o'clock on Saturday even
ings, the commission rejected the ap-
peal

ENGLAND returns
TO PEACE TRADE
Labor Being Diverted from Manu-
faCture Of Munitions !.

London, Jan, 29.-The high water
mark has been passed in making
British guns, shells and all kinds of
ammunition for the Allied armies.
England now faces the large problem
of diverting this production into new
and useful channels, by which the ma
ton will again supply the outside
world with goods, thus diminishing
the steady outflow of gold and check
ing the decline in the British exchange
rate.
There are now 1923 private factor
les and works, ordinarily employed in
various useful kinds of metal produc-
ton. which have been taken over by
the government and are now "con-
trolled' works. These are in addition
to the regular government factories.
There are 2,250,OOO employees work.
ing in these CONTROLLED" and gov
eminent factories making exclusive
ly guns and shells.
This enormous production has now
reached a point where the equipment
of the army is approximately complete
in some of the main lines.
The extent to which this gun and
shell output has grown is shown by
figures given at the ministry of NUM-
tons. The comparison is made be-
tween June, 1915, when the war had
just got under way, and today. For
every heavy howitzer produced then
there are 323 produced now; for
every field hOwitzer produced then
there are 46 produced now; for every
medium gun then there are sc now.
The output of 60 Founders and 6-inch
guns went up eighteen fold and has
now dropped back to twelve fold, as
the supply is too great. AS a whole
the production of guns of all calibres
has increased forty-one fold on those
of medium weight and twelve fold on
the heavier guns.
About the only exception is in small
arms, as the increase of regulation
rifles is particularly difficult and has
not much more than doubled. The
shell production, however has taken
such d leap that the production for
heavy guns in single day equals the
entire years production during the
first year of the war.
1t is because this high water mark
in tho output of ammunition has been
reached and passed that attention is
now being given to gradually divert

ITALY AN INSTANCE
OF WILSON'S aim
Rufini Agrees With the Basic
Thought Of Senate Speech

Rome, Jan. %. via Paris. 4:55 a.
m.-Italy wishes once for all to free
the Italians who are still living under
Austrian tyranny" said Francesca
Ruffini, minister of public Instructions,
in statement today to the Associat-
ed Press in regard to President Will
sons address to the senate. Part of
the presidents message, regarding
the possibility of seeking guarantees
for future peace, is supported in it's
fundamental ideas by the Entente,
which in its note set forth the same
aspirations for stable settlement in
Europe.
NATURALLY the particular way in
which Mr.. Wilson proposes to safe
guard the peace in the future re-
quires discussion. Such discus
sion, however, is premature at this
time for us since, as the president
himself admits, an indispensable pre-
liminary to future understanding is
that the present war must first be
ended.
For us-actors, not spectators
this preliminary is of the greatest in

ANSWER ON TRAVERRACK

Gerard it's answer in the case Of thal
British steamer Traverrack, says AM

The reply is as follows:
"The steamer was stopped by ell
German submarine on November Lei
last. The crew left upon signal, with
out further complications with the
ship and sailed away from the steam
err in the boats. The ship was then
searced and sunk as a hostile vessel"
The foregoing evidently refers to

ported sunk in a Lloyds shipping

LISTEN TO THIS!
SAYS CORNS LIFT
RIGHT OUT NOW


You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freeZone, which
the moment a, few drops are applied
to any corn, the soreness is relieved
and soon the entire corn, root and all,
lifts out with the fingers.
1t is sticky ether compound which
dries the moment it is applied and
simply shrivels the corn without In
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin. 1t Is claimed
that a quarter of an ounce OF freez-
one will cost very little at any of the
drug stores, but is sufficient to rid
ones feet of every hard or soft corn
or callus.
You are further warned that cuoS
ting at a corn is suicidal habit,

terest. Therefore it is essential to
see whether our war aims, which in
volve such successes for us, are in
conflict with those essential condi-
tons indicated by President Wilson
as necessary to safeguard peace in
the future.
1.-The aims of Italy are indispens-
able conditions of peace. Mr. Wilson
cited as an example of what was
needed the reconstruction of Poland
of worship and of industrial and So
cial development for all peoples who
have lived heretofore under the DOW
er of governments devoted to a pur-
pose hostile to their own.
1.-THE president also said the world
can be at peace only if it's life is
stable and there can be no stability
where the will is in rebellion where
there is not tranquility Of spirit and
sense of justice of freedom and of
right.
ITALY, having laboriously emerged
has among her war aims
the attainment of complete unity.
This is justified historically and it's
completion will be a proper act, be-
cause Italy does not wish to live by
the grace of others.
President Wilson could not find a
better examplification of these prin
ciples than the war in which Italy
is fighting beside her allies.
