lie LADY from MONTANA.

THE LADY FROM MONTANA
Monday afternoon the Hon. jean
nette Rankin, the Lady from Mon
tana, the first woman to be elected
to the national house of representa-
tives, spoke before the Chicago
Woman's club at Orchestra hall on
our governmental problems. She
first boosted her state, by showing its
many advantages in agricultural and
mineral wealth. She then proceeded
to eIucidate our problems.
She stood first for publicity. Let
the people know was her campaign
slogan. The people cannot pass a
wise judgment when they cOnfne
their reading to the newspapers, con-
troIIed by special interest, but must
read and hear all sides to be all-rOund
democrats. She believed in a society
in which no person would consider
himself better than any one else; no
smart sets or four hundreds.
Such an advocacy ought to catch
our Americans of African descent,
though it will be harder to under
stand than social democracy or So
cialism. She stood for the recall, for

manifest an interest in what she

can get a line on her different views.
If she won't talk, you talk about
whatever interests yOu-business

eraI interest and ii she doesn't re-
spOnd to some subject she must be

Ii you see she isn't interested,
don't exert yourself to any extent.
Find someone who will appreciate
you for your views and principles. I
have never found it necessary to
think of what to talk of next. l don't
let the young man do all the talking
either. Personally, l do not believe

conference with Governor Gunter.
Those present were Chairman W. C.
Thornton, Vice Chairman Clint C.
Houston, Secretary Roady Kenehan,
John r. Lawson, president-elect of
the State Federation of Labor, and
w. F. Hynes, representing the rail-
road brotherhoods.
The Committees Resolution.
At the meeting of the committee the
following resolutions, proposed by
John r. Lawson, were adopted:
Resolved by the Colorado Labor
Advisory Committee that protest be
made TO Governor Julius c. Gunter.
the State War Council, and the State
PardOning Board against the proposed
plan TO parole couvicts from the state
penal institutions to work in compe-
tltion with free labor, on railroads. or
in other industries, and be it further
Resolved, That this committee fur
ther protests against employers being
permitted to make the exigencies of
the war an excuse for employing
women and children in the industries
of this state at a lower wage than
that paid to men for the same class
of labor, or in violation of any exist
ing laws enacted for the protection of
women and children, or labor in
general"
Conference With Governor.
The committee then met Governor
Gunter in his office, by appointment,
and the matters covered in the reso-
lutions presented to the Governor
were talked over for an hour. 1t was
made clear that in the opinion of the
Labor Advisory Committee there is
no shortage of labor in Colorado to
justify the paroling of convicts to
work on railroads or in other indus
tries. The Governor stated that while
the names of some thirty convicts at
the state penitentiary had been re-
ported as those who might be paroled
for railroad work, he was not going to
make an omnibus parole, in view of
the attitude on this question taken by
organized labor and the adverse
recommendation of the Labor Advis-
ory Committee.
Women to Get Mems Pay.
AS to the second proposition COW
cred in the committees recommended
tion relative to employment of women
and children and the sustaining of
laws enacted for the protection of
women and children, the Governor was
emphatic in stating that this had his
dppENNdI. lOE Tie EStSoH lHdI ne De-
lieved that where women are employed
in places vacated by men to serve in
the war. they should receive the same
pay as men.
The committee left the Governors
office feeling that the plan originated
by the War Council to employ convict
labor as a war eNigency" had been
sidetracked, and that for the present
at least, no further movement along
this line was TO be feared by the free
labor of the state.
