WANT MINIMUM
WAGE FOR WOMEN

MADISON, Wis, June l.. - The
Wisconsin State Federation of Labor
and sympathetic organizations have
petitioned the state industrial COM
mission to fix wage of $3.50 a
week for women and minors en-
ployed in Wisconsin.
-Four years ago the state indus
trial commission investigated the
question of wages for women and
found that $3.50 a week was neces-
sary. No order to this effect was
issued because the validity of mini
mum wage laws was before the
courts. The United States supreme
court, over year ago, upheld the
Oregon minimum wage law, but the
Wisconsin decision is yet without
effect. Trade unionists insist that
# $3.50 was living wage in 1914,
1880 is necessary now.
1t is shown that the average indi-
Gated wage of Wisconsin working
women today is between SO and SO
a week, at least 81 short of the min
imum of four years ago, and IS
short of the estimate for today.

NEW YORK.-The Central Fed
Grated Union of New York has just
endorsed statement issued by the
State Federation of Labor favoring
an amendment to the Hoke Smith
bill for the vocational rehabilitation
of war cripples, already passed un-
animously by the United States
Senate, so as to include crippled in
dustrial workers as well as mained
soldiers and sailors.
at is estimated" says the Fed
erations statement, that there are
now in this country 100000 indus
trial cripples, and these are being
added to yearly. By means of vo-
cational education under the aus
pices of the Federal Board of Voca-
tional Education these cripples could
be re-created into skilled workmen."
Urging the adoption of this amend
ment to the Smith bill, now pending
in Congress, to provide vocational
re-education for both war and in
dustral clipples, the American AS
sociation for Labor Legislation de-
clares that better teachers can be
secured at the outset if future in
his field is assured. Vocational
rehabilitation for the soldiers and
sailors will be completed within
hort time after the close Of the war,
il asserts in recent bulletin, but

RENT PROFITEERS
ARE TO GET THEIRS

WASHINGTON, June Congress
has added to it's sensational acts
since the war by adopting a resolu-
tion which makes it illegal to evict
tenant while the war lasts except
where he commits 4 nuisance, fails
to pay rent, or where the landlord
desires the house for his own use.
"Colored" sales are also prohibited.
By this practice landlords oust ten
ants on the plea that the property is
sold, and then charge an excessive
price, payable monthly, to the new
tenant.
In substance, the resolution sets
aside the "sacredness of contract"
and even though a tenants lease has
expired he may remain in the house
at the rental formerly paid.
Adherents of strict constitutional
ism were aghast at this proposal,
and predicted all sorts of dire hap
penings if this precedent was es-
tablished.
Friends of the resolution called at
tention to the passage of the civil
rights bill which suspended court
remedies against men in the mill
tary service.
To support the claim that the gov
ernment has the right to stop evic-
tions it was stated that the due
process clause of the federal consti-
tuition has never been held to de-
prive the state of the power of
protecting the welfare of its citi-
zens, "even at the expense of re-
stricting and destroying life, liberty
and property"
"a hundred instances will readily
suggest themselves" it was stated.

plan Now" the bulletin continues.
From the very outset the govern
ment's equipment should be used to
fullest capacity, so that the MANNED
from both war and industry who
have found salvation through
work may be turned back immediate
ly into skilled employments. The
prompt passage of this meritorious
measure will bring new hope to the
convalescent, powerful antidote to
despair, and the training suited to
his physical abilities that will en-
able him to re-enter industry, be-
come self-supporting, and carry on
the fight for democracy, if not in
the front line trenches, then at home
in the industrial army"
A plea for vocational rehabilita-
ton of crippled men, with preferen-
tial treatment on the part of en-
ployers, was also made last week al
the annual convention of the National
Association of Manufacturers.
Careful investigation" said the
Secretary. George S. Boudinot, in
his annual report, 'has shown that
in every factory there are numerous
Jobs that can be handled by dis
abled workers" The bulk of the
evidence so far collected, according
to Mr.. Boudinot, proves that the res
toration of cripples to industry can
be worked out so that it will be "a
sound business proposition for the
manufacturer, fair opportunity for
the disabled worker. and an eco
nomic advantage to the community.

FARMERS PROTECTIVE LEAGUE"
GETS ANOTHER GOOD SCORCHING
BY Big Business and Shyser Politicians 1t Fools Some
of the People Some of the Time

on the road to see to what extent
last fall the Farmers Non Partisan
League was organized. After trav-
cling over the thirteen states or
ganized or under organization he re-
ported the alarming news that it was
making such rapid headway that
probably it already had something
like two hundred thousand members
and unless something was done to
counteract it's headway it would
soon control the political situation
in all of these states. Immediately
Big Biz got busy to counteract its
influence by disseminating all kinds
Of lies and propaganda intended to
arrest the spread of the League.
Not succeeding in this they then
commenced systematic persecu-
5ion under the guise of patriotism
and disseminated this unpatriotc
stuff into all the counties of this
and other states where the organ
izers of the Non-Partisan League
were at work, Systematically working
on the Councils for Defense and Pa
triotic Leagues, disseminating their
poisonous venom into all these war
associations, blackmailing, slandering
and prosecuting, in order to stop the
work of the Non-Partisan League.
By their insideous influence they
have created mobs, sluggers, outlaws
and gunmen in some counties of this
state that is disgrace to civiliza-
ion and the state of Washington.
When it is known that not man
has been arrested for violation of
the Federal law, but all this work has
been done by local cheap john poll
ticians, that is enough of itself
to convince the most credulous of the
object of the Farmers Protective
League.
The Stop, Look, Listen League
vas very mild in its methods COM
jared with these modern political
summers.
Like Mr.. Call, l think these things
should spur every patriot in the la
oor and farm organizations to ac-
tion--quick, efficient action at that
then let us put over the Initiative
Measures with whoop, and let US
proceed with the organization of the
Non Partisan League so that we can
have legislature that is responsive
20 the people. Big Biz, working
through Patriotic Leagues Councils
for Defense, etc, says: "Put it off
ill after the war" But we all must
eat and warm ourselves and clothe
our bodies during the war, and why
should we pay tribute to the profit
teers during the war or at any other
time, when we have the remedy in
our grasp.
Yours for success for the working
man and the farmer,
L. C. CROW.

KILL CATERPILLARS

There appears to be danger of a
caterpillar plague this summer.
There are thousands of nests in
fruit trees, alders, many other trees
and shrubs and even on the branches
of dead trees. If this pest gets a
start it will give great deal of
trouble and annoyance and do enor-
nous damage to vegetation. They
will even become a nuisance in your
homes and on the sidewalks of the
streets. Mash 'em, burn 'em! Do
anything to get rid of 'em.

piled with the request.
The committee on initiative petit

particular is urged to get busy and
attach their signatures to the petit
tions.
A motion prevailed to hold mass

HERBERT HOOVER
DEFINES MAN POWER

WASHINGTON, June /. Ac-
cording to an estimate by Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover America has go
100000 able-bodied manhood and
from eight to ten million men have
,een diverted from their normal oc-
cupations toward war and the prod
ucts it requires.
This includes 100000 men in the
military srevice and the grand total
lpprOximates from one-quarter to
one-third of the country's normal
productive units.
The fuel administrator shows that
some of the gaps may be filled by
more intensive labor and longer
hours, by the application of wo-
mans labor and by putting the boys
into labor earlier than otherwise.
He shows, however, that these are
but palliatives and insists that the
deficiency can only be overcome by
eliminating non-essentials.
"This applies" he says, "to ev-
cry commodity of which we con-
sumo more than is necessary for our
health and comfort. We must strip
TO the bone in order that we may
afford the economic luxury of the
diversion of this portion of our pro-
ductive power to the destruction of
war. If we do not our exertion in
this war will stop short of the task
imposed upon us, and we cannot look
to victory with any assurance"
