so hysterically repeated In pumer-
Gus newspapers, that the |. w. w.
is making converts among Ameri-
can workers.
Ibid it ever occur to you, said
the cabinet official, that the great
est reason for the unrest that exists
among the working men OF this
country is that the story has goue
forth that the corporation engaged
Ia the iron and steel industry, for
instance, are making proht OF
from 200 TO 400 per. cent ca ;
that corporations engaged in the
shipbuilding industry are making
enormous profits; that corporations
engaged III mining and numbering
are making enormous profits
The speaker expressed these
views on welfare schemes and on
the theory of collective harbaining:
80 far as the employe is CON
cerned he may appreciate your gen
erosity, admire your charity in the
housing conditions and other FIN
surroundings in which you place
him, bul pei haps he would rather
live in log cabin. home OF bis
own, and on HON ny OF his own
production than live i'll a palace
and feel that IT came from charity.
The employe wants the right
and privilege OF doing something
for himself Now, you employers
have the advantage of experience.
Your contract with the world gives
you a broader view than the EN-
ploye can possibly have. 1t IS only
when he has the opportunity of Sc
lecting skilled men to speak for
him that he comes anywhere near
you in advantage

"The strength intelligence and vir-
tue of each generation" declared the
court depend to a great extent upon
the mothers. Therefore the health and
morals of the women are a matter of
grave concern to the public, and conse-
quently TO the state itself"
More recently still the state indus
trial welfare commission of California
has announced a revised wage schedule
for women employed in mercantile es-
tablishments II provides that no ex'
perienced woman shall be employed in
