WORKERS SLEEP AND LOAF
WHILE RUSSIA is IN WANT
Committees Decide Wages and Hours in
Factories-Owners Deprived of Rights.
Sweeping Bankruptcy Lies Ahead.

ment Of the early weeks of the revolu-
tion discussed ways and means whereby
the workers in mills and factories
might gradually acquire an interest in
enelr industries and a voice in the coun-
Gus or the managers. the workers set
tied the whole thing by turning the
employers out and taking over the in
dustries themselves.
They have voted themselves enor-
nous salaries. short hours and little
work. But they have done little or
nothing to insure the permanence of
the salaries. Soon there will be, in
stead OF an eight-hour day. no working
gay a. all. All the shops and factories
will close.
In Moscow is the largest and finest
department store in Russia. It is an

riles voted that they found it incon-
venient to have clerks and other en-
ployes go homo for lunch at different
hours. They, therefore. ordered the
store closed every day from 10 to 2
o'clock. The store was accordingly
closed

Our Chance in China.

From LeDueB.
It can be safely asserted that every
large city Of China needs sewers, water
works. paving. electric lighting and
street railways. There exist many op-
portunities to establish manufacturing
plants throughout tho land. taking ad-
vantage of the prolific mines and agri-
cultural possibilities which abound In
most provinces. Banks should be OPEN
ed in available centers, with branches
throughout the country, and several
lines Of steamships should be operated
between our Pacific coast and the far
east.
When these conditions come to pass.
the renaissance of China will begin.
Modern schools will be opened, indus
trial opportunities exploited. and the
masses become receptive to up-to-date
methods
Up to the present time the United
States has not taken advantage of the
opportunities already existing. AS a
consequence British, japanese. Russian,
Belgian. German and French companies
have had the field practically to them
selves. Today for obvious reasons most
Of these nations are not in a position to
increase their holdings, which gives the
United States a chance to enter this ter
ritory under the most suspicious circum-
stances.

WOMEN AGAIN ASK VOTE
OF STATE LEGISLATURE
Beaten in Amendment Fight, AS
sociation Seeks Presiden-
tial Suffrage
HARRISBURG, April 25.

Despite their defeat by three votes in
fraeists of Pennsylvania, whose organiza-
ton was the first TO offer it's services to
Pennsylvania and to the nation for war,
are again asking for consideration by the
legislative body.
Previously they asked only that the rep
rcsentatives let the voters decide again the
question of suffrage. This time the voters
having been denied the right to decide the
question in 1920, the women ask the legis-
lators themselves to grant directly to
women as is in the power of the Legis-
lature. the vote for the next and all FOL
lowing Presidents.
In taking this step. the suffragists point
out that they are making a fight for dem
ocracy on the ground that all citizens
--wofnen as well as men-who support the
country in this time of stress should be
granted every privilege possible under a
democratic Government. They point out
that there is no expense of advertising an
amendment entailed, which was one of the
objections of the opponents of constitutional
suffrage. They say also that the liquor
element which boasted it had defeated the
constitutional amendment resolution cam
not logically. even from its own viewpoint
have any reason for fighting the presiden-
tiai suffrage bill, because even if passed
it does not give the women the vote upon
prohibition or any phase of local option.
The women point out further that even
those members of the Legislature who adj
mtted they feared, or feared without ad-
mtting that women would defeat them
have no ground for alarm in view of the
fact that the new bin does not give tho
vote for any State, county, city, borough
or other candidates, but only for presiden-
tial electors.
