Legislature Re-Enacts Measure Fol-
lowing Fraud in Referendum
Vote Of Soldiers.

VICTORIA, B. c., August 1S.-The
province of British Columbia Will be-
come prohibition territory october /.
under law passed by the provincial
legislature last night and signed by the
lieutenant governor.
The bill passed was a re-enactment
of a measure introduced a year ago.
This was submitted to a referendum
and passed by British Columbia by a
majority of 5000. A vote of British CO.
lumbia soldiers overseas was taken and
the verdict was upset, the final major
ity being SEQ in favor of the vets.
The prohibitionists then contended
that frauds had occurred in the taking
of the vote among the soldiers. A gov
eminent commission. sent to England
and France to investigate, found that
many soldiers had voted two or three
times, and that dead and missing men
were also entered as having cast bal
lots. The legislature decided that the
charges of fraud had been sufficiently
substantiated to cause the bringing of
the measure into effect

TO PREVENT UNFAIR USE
OF FE|MALELAbORN US.
Nationwide Campaign Planned for
Woman Workers by National
Suffrage Association.

To mobilize the woman workers of the
country taking mems places in indus
trial activities and to safeguard against
those who would seek to profit by ex-
plotting woman labor. is tho purpose of
a nation-w wide campaign by tho National
American Womans Suffrage Associa-
ton.
This campaign has been undertaken. it
Is explained, because some employers,
under the cloak of the scarcity of male
workers, have used women virtually as
strikebreakers. Others have less openly
substituted women at low pay for men
at standard wages. thereby to increase
their profits.
That women's zeal for service should
be so directed that 1t will not, while
releasing men for military duty. lower
the wage standards secured after years
of negotiation between capital and la
Dor. The appeal sent out through all
the subsidiary and local organizations
of the national association says:
