HORSES RIGHTS FOR
WOMEN URGED IN THE
COLORADO ASSEMBLY
Bill by Judge Ben B. Lindsey Provides
for Aid by State During
Maternity.

DENVER - Colorado women are
completing plans to force through the
Legislature next month Judge Ben
Lindsey's bill providing maternity
benefits and entitled Horses Rights
for Women" The bill provides that
a working woman expecting to become
mother may receive state aid for a
period both before and after matern-
ity.
Thousands of women and girls work
till within a few days of becoming
Mothers" Judge Lindsey said today,
land then return to work while still
weak. Their health, and often that of
their children, is permanently injured.
"My bill would simply provide that
the state give them the same periods
of rest that any wise and humane
farmer gives horse or cow at such
a time.
"At present we take better care of
our cattle than we do of our mothers.
l believe such bill as Horses Rights
for Women would do away with this
evil, l feel that, if we can get it
adopted in Colorado, other states will
soon fall in line, and it will become a
national reform"

COLLEGE PROFESSORS
TURN TO SOCIALISM,
- SAYS HARRY LATDLER

NEW YORK.-Harry w. Ladder,
organizing secretary of the Intercol-
legiate Socialist Society, has just fin
ished a 17-day trip to Pennsylvania
and New York colleges. He gave 80
lectures in all before about 1000 COL
legians, addressed some Is economic
classes and a couple of entire college
bodies. An alumni chapter was start
ed in Pittsburgh.
DR.. Ladder found the younger pro-
fessors of economics at the various
colleges growing more and more sym
pathetic toward Socialism and show
ing an eager willingness to cooperate
with the society and to help to liberal
ize the minds of the undergraduates
on economic and social problems.
All efforts are now being turned
toward making the eighth annual
convention of the intercollegiate So
cialist Society, to be held in New
York, Dec. %, 20 and 30, pronounced
success.

MACHINISTS ADD $4,000
MEMBERS TO UNION

Under the heading "Close of An
Eventful Year." the editor of the
Machinists' Monthly Journal reviews
the year just past, during which the
International Association of Machin-
lists made one of the most remarkable
membership campaigns in the history
of trade unionism and secured the
eight-hour day for a total of 10000
OF it's great membership.
"The year 1916" he says, marks
an epoch in the history of the labor
movement in the United States and
has, undoubtedly, been the most sue
cessful ever enjoyed by the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists.
And we have reason to believe that
the year 1917 holds still better things
in store for our members"
Big Membership Gains
1t points out that last January
found the association in one of the
greatest organizing campaigns ever
conducted by it or by any other labor
organization, and that the result of
the years work was in addition of
$4,000 new members to its rolls. The
present membership is placed at prac-
tically 10000.

roads, officials are inclined to view
in an unfavorable light the continued
plea that the railroads are poverty
stricken and cannot pay more wages
One important factor in the fig
ures is that of the Eastern roads,
which have carried a huge quantity
of war orders. 1t in claimed in rail-
road circles that this business is not
indicative of a normal increase in
business and should not be made the
basis for any calculations in rates.
The total for 1916 amounts to an
increase of over 33 1-3 per cent over
1875 business. The exact figures of
the net income for the railroads dur
ing tire year now drawing 60 close
amounts to $685. 100000. For the
first nine months the complete re-
turns showed net profit of $780,

clude railroads earning less than
$1,000,000.

the old trick of "bank throw down."
Frequently, to carry his large pay
roll, Norcross made loans from his
bank, taking up his notes at the time
stipulated with money realized from
contracts completed. AS a rule, he,
as all other manufacturers doing a
large business, had the option of re-
newing his original short time note.
Recently, number of large orders
were given to the firm. AS is Gus
tomary, Norcross is said to have gone
to his bank, and had no trouble OBJ
tanning money on his note.
When the time on the note expired,
it is said, the "bank throw.down"
game was worked. The banker had
suddenly become "suspicious." For
nearly a score of years the Norcross
business has been one Of the soundest
here. But renewal Of the note was
not only refused by the banker, but
the other obligations of the concern,
subject to renewal, are said to have
been bought up by the bank, on which
pressure is said to have been exerted.
Unable to raise money on short no.

FARMERS TURN SOME
TRICKS IN "VIdENCE"

NEW YORK-This little old town
is rubbing its eyes and wondering
about something. And it is this
What has come over the farmers?
After having plugged along through
almost a month of traction strike, in
which every one looked for heaps of
trough stuff" which didn't material
ize to any appreciate extent, the city
now finds itself wondering whether
it's ideas of strikes haven't been all
wrong.
Nobody ever expected that farmers
would get together and kick up fuss.
Nobody ever looked for industrial vio-
lence from them. They have been
"the backbone of the country" reli-
able, steady and faithful.
But in the big milk strike that tum-
bled over New York while the traction
strike was still at it's height, there
was more violence done by farmers
in forty-eight hours than was done by
traction strikers in a month.
The farmers determined that no
milk should reach New York until the
Dairymen's League got ready to let
it in. The farmers didn' stop at lam
guage, but they got out in the middle
of the night and saw to it that no milk
got by.
Wagons have been smashed, milk
poured into country roads, barns en-
tered and the rural sections jumbled
up generally. In one little burg ten
farmers were hustled into the hoos-
Cow in one night for mussing up the
milkscape.
The farmers organized and struck
for an increase in price of As cents
per 100 pounds.
There is one other interesting feat
ure to this milk strike-nobody has
peeped about calling out militia to
"put down disorder"
Let 'em alone-they have votes"
seems to be the wise decision of Off
cialdom.

DUMA SOCIALISTS
GAGGED ON PEACE
Tricked in Vote on German Pro-
pOsals, Berlin Hears by Way
of Stockholm

Socialists in the Russian Duma
were gagged during the recent de-
bates on the German peace proposals,
according to Stockholm newspaper
advices. The reports say the Social
lists would undoubtedly have voted
against refusal of the peace plea if
they had been permitted to register
their opinion. The "mean tricks" of
the president of the Duma, it was as
serted, prevented all possibility of a
true state of opinion becoming
known.
The Stockholm dispatches circu-
lated by the press bureau continue
citing protests by Socialist members
against violation of constitutional
rights by which the opinion of the
Duma was deprived of expression.
Stockholm also reports that ru-
mors of an attempt on the life of M
Milyukoff, a member of the Duma
were circulated by Milyukoff himself
in order to impress public opinion on
his side in his suit for libel against
Stuermer.

ETGHTY-MILLION DOLLAR
INDUSTRIAL CONFER
ENCE BOARD MAKES
THE FIRST MOVE.

WORCESTER, Mass.-Extermina-
ton of all building concerns in the
country which are fair to organized
labor will be the first move in the
war to crush union labor launched by
the giant eighty-billion-dollar Indus
trial Conference Board. Already,
through financial manipulation, the
Metal Trades Association of the
board has acquired control of the
large Norcross Bros. Building Com
pany here. With this IS q basis, the
crusade against organized labor is to
be continued in the building trades
until the industry has become an open
shop one.
Later, this immense anti-labor
trust is to use its colossal force and
power for industrial warfare in the
other trades, unless labor, through a
united front, bars the way Of this
board in its efforts to wipe out or
ganization among workers.
Some time this month, Evan F.
Jones, treasurer Of the Morgan
Spring company, will become presi-
dent of the Norcross concern, o. W.
Norcross having been forced out.

NC RAE'S BILL
FOR HOSPITAL
Is REJECTED
County Commissioners Refuse
to Pay for McRae's Hos
pital Treatment -.

Last week the Providence hospital
presented bill to the County Com
miSsioners for services rendered
Sheriff McRae and Deputy Sheriff
P. f. Buehrer, amounting to $153.20,
and it was rejected.
McRae and Buehrer were wounded
in the battle on the City dock, Sun
day, November 5th, and both received
several weeks treatment in the hos
pital.
The authorities took this action be-
cause bill for S34 was presented by
the l. w. W. for hospital treatment
to one of its members. This bill had
to be turned down, because it would
never do to pay for the results of the
murderous actions of Everett's Com
mercial club. Of course the Commits
sioners have no love for the |. w. w.
nor for any workman that has enough
gall to get up on his hind feet and
resent the treatment handed out to
them by a robber class. 1t would be
bad precedent for the commission
ers to pay the hospital bill of men
who are beaten up by Everett's Best
Citizens and it would certainly be
too raw to pay the bill for the Sheriff
and not for the workers before the
case has been tried in the courts to
discover the guilty persons.
Same Old Story
But then again, we must bear in
mind that McRae is now out of office,
and it is generally the case, that
when the ruling class has no further
use for their tools, they give them
the boot instead of the glad hand and
so McRae is just beginning to receive
the treatment meted out to hirelings
who are of no further use to the
class that rules and robs.
The County commissioners are not
to be commended for their action. 1t
is a matter of business with them
and-orders.

OLYMPIA LAW
FACTORY OPENS
Legislators Proceed to Admins
ter to the Needs of the
Ruling Class

The Republicans are in the major
ity in the legislature that has just
opened and that old gang of polite
ians will surely see to it that no bills
demanded by the Grange, Direct Leg
islation League or trade unions get
by them.
The biggest combine of lobbyists
in Olympia today is that of the labor
unions, farmers and the Direct Legis-
lation league. 1t is well organized
and quite powerful, in way, but
their demands will be swept aside
like chaff before wind and the lob
byists will return home sad and de-
jected. 1t is the function of the
present legislature, as of all legisla-
lures, that are not controlled by the
working class, to administer to the
wants of the class whose existence
can only continue as long as the cap
italist system continues.
By granting the producers their
demands they weaken the power of
the class that lives by the exploita-
ton of labor. And labor delights in
being exploited. 1t sings the praises
of its masters, it cringes and crawls
at the feet of its rulers, it's whole life
is taken up attending to the needs of
useless parasitic class, and every
two years it hands over to that class
the institutions that are organized
for the special purpose of continuing
the system that breeds masters and
slaves. And then to think that labor
should go to the trouble and expense
of trying to induce those whom they
selected to enact laws that will loos-
en- the hold of those upon their backs.
1t is indeed to laugh.

SOCIALISTS AMONG
MILLIONAIRES

Socialism has crept into Pasadena
millionaire colony.
1t was announced recently that So
cialists would open a cooperative
store to reduce the high cost of living
Upton Sinclair, famous author, has
been chosen vice president of the
store company.
Several Pasadena society women
have been going in strongly for So,
cialism, and one of the latest recruits
to the ranks is Mrs. A. F. Gartz
whose son went to France recently tC
serve as an aviator. Mrs. Samuel w
Packard is another Socialist, although
the husbands of both these wealthy
women are strongly opposed to it.
Mrs. Richard Hovey, another prom
inent society woman of the Crown
City, says she is Sympathetic So
cialist."
The Gaylord Wilshires and other
prominent people have joined the
movement, which has received a
strong impetus since the coming OF
the Sinclairs.
Since Mrs. Carte joined the ranks
of the Socialists, the Pasadena society
set has become interested in the
movement, and at her own clubhouse
situated on the grounds surrounding
her mansion, Mrs. Gartz occasionally
has lectures given which have had a
decidedly Socialistic trend.
