EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN.

Should Receive Same Wages az Men
When Doing Their Work.
That the mobilization of great army
of men and women In the industries to
serve the nation In war requires eff
cient machinery and proper standards
is the declaration made In special bull
letin on labor laws In war time" just
issued by the American Association
For Labor Legislation.
Labor placement should be under
public control, according to the associa-
ton, and the whole system expanded
around federal, state and city public
employment bureaus.
Safety first and health first-good
business always-are pressing require
ments now that production has to be
increased and workers are pouring into
employments new to Them" the bulle-
tin states Vigilance, too, must be ex-
ercised to protect women entering In
dustries from bad surroundings, inju-
ious tasks and exploitation, moral or
physical Complete protection of work
ing men and women in the pressure of
war and the guarding Of the children
cannot be secured without strict ad-
ministration of labor laws"
Officials intrusted with the admins
tration of labor laws in practically all
the states, reports the bulletin, have In
dictated their intention to maintain
rigidly the protective measures for Ia
Dor during the war. ATTACKS upon
labor laws have been checked by over
whelming evidence that prevention of
speeding up and overstran Is true
war necessity. Practical tests have
shown that maximum production of
materials depend upon protection Of
workers"

MINERS PLEDGE AID.
Recognition by Coaneh of Defense Ends
Fear of Coal Shortage.

Recognition by Council of Defense Ends
Fear of Coal Shortage.
An agreement to mine 1000 900
tons of coal this year has been reached
by the officials Of the United Mine
Workers of America and the Council
Of National Defense.
Equal recognition will be given by
the government henceforth to the mine
workers and mine operators, and each
will act as a check upon the other, it
was decided at a conference held at
Washington a short time ago. At the
close of the conference John P. White,
president of the United Mine Workers,
said:
with this new understanding reach
ed, l repeat my former statement that
free workers organized as free men
can cover this country foot deep with
coal and In the next year raise its pro-
duction from the former record Of
6OO,000,0O0 tons to 1,O00,0o0,000 TONS"
Recognition by the Council Of Ma
tional Defense of the union workers In
dealing with the coal situation was
hailed by labor leaders as meaning
that the government has come to a
realization that the labor interests Of
the country have pledged themselves
to the support of President Wilson in
the war and that all fears of lower
coal production through strikes or dis
sension has been obviated
The action taken also means that the
defense councils committee on coal
production will be a body representing
every element entering into the produc-
ton of coal in the United States and
will insure all the fuel necessary for
this country and for expectation to our
allies where 1t is needed to keep muni-
ton factories running and supply the
fleets.

Women to Get Mems Pay.

Women employed by the navy de-
partment are to receive the same pay
as men holding similar positions.
Secretary Daniels, who with several
other department heads announced re-
Gently that during the war women
would be given preference in filling
clerical Jobs, wrote recently in response
to query from Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait, president Of the National Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage association:
II can assure you there is no inten-
ton on tile part Of this department to
discriminate against women employ
ees. All positions in the department
are graded, and the same rate of pay
applies to each position, regardless of
the sex OF the incumbent"

PRINTERS TO CELEBRATE.
Silver Jubilee of the Home to Be Com
mfemorated Next August.

oliver JufPiiee OF the Rome to Be Com
nfemorated Next August
Two events of unusual interest to
printers lwill take place at Colorado
Springs fhe second week of next Au-
gust. They are the silver jubilee of the
foundingI Of the Union Printers home
at Colorado Springs and the sixty-third
annual cpnyention of the International
Typogra bhical union.
The Uhion Printers home idea got
its initiap impetus from a gift of $10,-
600 fronp George w. Childs Of the
Philadelphia Public Ledger and An
thOny J. Drexel, a Philadelphia banker,
In 1885. For several years this sum
was added to by voluntary gifts Of
printers ;hnd by several assessments on
the membership until In March, 1891,
the trustees awarded a contract to con-
struct the main edifice at cost of
100000. I'm the meantime the board Of
trade OF Colorado Springs had donated
tract of eighty acres on which to
erect the home.
1t was decided at the Boston session
of the convention the following year
that the anniversary of the birthday
of George w. Childs, May II, 1892,
should b& celebrated by the dedication
Of the new institution, and this was
carried out with elaborate ceremonies,
including, speeches by eminent states
men from various parts of the coun-
try.
OF the subsequent growth and i'm
pOrtance of this enduring monument
to the beneficent instincts of trade
unionism, lit Is only necessary to refer
to recentAhistory.
In twenty-five years, from a very
small nest egg, comparatively, this in
stitution has grown to its present mag
nificent proportions Today its physi-
cal valuation is rated at more than a
million and half dollars. In ten
years more who can estimate what the
place win be? Every printer in the
jurisdiction Of the parent union is
proud of the institution and never OBJ
jects or hesitates to meet the obliga-
lions to enlarge it's growth and eff
cheney. Heis joint stakeholder in the
great corporation and entitled to share
in all its benefcence when the time
shall have come for him to receive his
dividends.
The home was originally known-oh-
cially and otherwise-as the Childs-
Drexel Home For Union Printers and
was so designated up to the time Of
| the convention at Detroit in 1890, when
it's name was changed by resolution to
| that of Union Printers home.

A BLUFF EXPOSED.
Campaign Against the seamen's Act
Has lnsloriously Collapsed.

Campaign Against the Seamen's Act
Has Ineloriously Collapsed.
"The seamen's law is working out TO
the good advantage Of both employers
and seamen."
This is the announcement of Secre-
tary of Commerce Redfield in an inter
view June 10, referring to the oper-
alton of the La Toilette law to make
the seamen free men and to protect
the travelling public against disaster.
Along with this declaration comes
the news that the Pacific Mail Steam
ship company will resume business be-
tween San Francisco and the orient on
Aug. 10. The Pacific Mail fought the
seamens law tooth and nail. 1t re-
sorted to all sorts Of methods in trying
to break down this humane measure.
Finally it tried to bluff the administra-
ton and the public into the belief that
this law was driving American ship
ping off the high seas" 1t failed In
this, and 1t did sell its vessels to go
into the Atlantic trade. 1t sold these
ships at tremendous profit. Now 1t
buys a new fleet to reap the big money
Ia Pacific transportation.
In the light of this, what will the
people think of those threats of the
Pacific Mail? The assaults Of inter-
ested business upon measures Of social
justice are to be taken only for what
they are worth-sordid and dishonest
buncombe. The seamen's law stands.
The campaign of the shipping interests
against it has collapsed collapsed be-
cause of its own rotten foundation

ers Efficiency Of Men.


ers Efficiency of Men.
If manufacturers wish to combat the
serious shortage of labor, which is
growing greater every day, they must
find work to fit the men and not men
to suit the work, according to a state
ment ISSUED recently by DR.. John Price
Jackson, commissioner of the Pennsyl-
vania state department of labor and
industry. bureau of employment.
The greatest work that these heads
of industries can do for themselves
and the nation in a period when men
are so seriously needed is to lessen the
percentage Of turnover" which is en-
tirely too high in Philadelphia and
throughout the state; otherwise, DR..
Jackson says, it will be impossible to
contribute 100 per cent efficiency to
the nation In the war emergency.
"Some employers are doing every
thing in their power to find the right
job for every man who applies" said
DR.. Jackson, "but others are so busy
that If a man does not make good on
the job for which he was hired he IS
dismissed and another man hired. This
process is expensive to the employer.
"In large industry employing many
types of workmen nearly every man
who is willing to work can succeed in
some position or other. To let him go
is to sacrifice the time and effort spent
TO get him in these days of more jobs
than men. Looking at the question
from the larger viewpoint of the good
of the nation, the biggest sacrifice Is
the loss Of the workman's time-time
that should be utilized in production"
