ASKS EQUALITY FOR WOMEN.
Federal Employees Union Protests
Against Their Receiving Less Pay.

Appeal to treat men and women alike
when employed on the same work in
the arsenals has been made by the Fed
eral Employees Union in an identic note
sent to Secretary Baker of the War De-
partment and Secretary Wilson of the
Department of Labor. The note spe-
officially complains against paying
equal work.
The letter, signed by President H. H.
McLarin of the Federal Employees
Union, says. in part:
1--WE are very sorry to note that it is
proposed to discriminate against wom-
an workers in the rates of pay. Accord
ing to the press notice women are to
be employed as machine operators at
wages of from $1.36 to $2.24 day,
whereas men are to be employed as
machine operators at from $2.24 to
$2.64 a day.
I'VE wish to protest against this dis
elimination. and respectfully ask that
in the employment of men and women
in these arsenals and elsewhere that
women be given equal pay for equal
work. To do otherwise would be to
place into operation most unjust sys-
TEN of paying women less than men for
the same amount of work, merely be-
cause the women would, through mo-
were in great need of profitable work,
accept positions at wages lower than
those paid to men"
Mr.. McLarin expressed the hope that
the officials would consent to treat
men and women alike"

an if he hadn't a got killed that time
Why, even to this day, if so much as

"Whatcha mean, she got marked up

That's what I'm tellin you. Ed, he

If the woman with the tiny gray cross
on her forehead. heard her neighbors
opposite, she paid no attention. Per-
haps she was needing the warning that
her faith had just voiced:
Remember. man. that thou art dust
