The Man for the Job

Representative Charles A. Nichols
of Michigan is the ranking Republican
member Of the Committee on the Cen
sus of the House. When the control
of that body changes as a result OF
the fall elections the craftsmanship OF
that great committee will fall to him.
The position will be one Of much re-
sponsibility, involving, as it will, the
consideration of legislation pertaining
to the taking of the Fourteenth De-
cennial Census Of 1920. Mr.. Nichols
is we'll equipped for the work, having
been close student Of committee
affairs since he has been on its mem
bership. The Congressman is an adj
vocate of thorough covering of the
industrial field when the 1920 census
is taken, so that record of our extra
ordinary war development along that
line may be made for the future.

The Red Peril

Those who wish TO inform them
selves on the economic situation in
which the country now finds itself,
with special reference TO the policy
of government ownership and opera
ton which is spreading so rapidly
over the country, should send to Sem
ator James +. Watson Of Indiana for
copy of his speech on the bill for
the Federal control Of telephones and
telegraphs. In searching analysis
of the growing tendency toward con-
centrated control ut the National Cap
ital of our industrial activities Senator
Watson looks ahead and predicts the
conditions that will prevail after the
war. As next steps in its socialisuc
policy Mr.. Watson anticipates that
the Administration will seek control
ofthe mines, the munition factories,
and all other industrial activities, save
only agriculture. "Once clothed with
the authority to seize Them" says he,
at will be easy enough to find com
polling emergency" The reading OF
Senator Watsons remarks will be
revelation to the voter who has per-
suaded himself that Wilson and his
advisers can do no wrong, and that
opposition to their wishes is tanta-
mount to treason to the Government.

WASHINGTON Nov. 14.-A supple

gives the women members Of the
community labor boards full voting
powers on all questions that may come
before the boards. This order, which
is signed by Director General Dens-
more, amends General Order B-8, is
sued Sept. 3 by Assistant Director
General N. A. Smyth, which brought
forth protests by women's, organiza-
tions and women leaders from all
parts of the country.
Mr.. Smyth's order, issued in the alb
sence Of the Director General, re-
stricted the powers Of the women
members of the boards to a vote on
questions affecting the utilization of
women in industry, although the men

to vote on all questions, including
those affecting women. Suffragists;

Immediately protested the restriction
upon the women's vote, both as a v1o-

as dangerous to women's interests

WAR BOARD FACES DANGER.
OF ATTACK BY, Y,S1ANDPATIERS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-The Ma
tional War Labor Board beside fac
ing the danger Of political attack from
the Republican standpatters, backed
by the Democratic reactionaries, is
now brought up against the problem
OF the woman in industry who re-
tuses to go back home.
Out in Cleveland the street car
company hired ITO women to operate
cars, after a considerable labor short
age had been created. How the short
age was created is a point in dispute;
the union men say the company
wanted to get women to do it's work
at lower wages and worse conditions;
the company denies it.. Anyhow, the
union kicked at the women's coming
into the industry, and refused to ad-
NIT them to the union. .......
A federal mediator went to Cleve-
land, brought the union and COM
pany together, and ordered that the
women be discharged by Nov. 1. Then
the women organized a union of their
own and appealed to the War Labor
Board. They declared that they were
never consulted by the mediators nor
oy the company or union. as to
whether they were willing to go home;
furthermore, they refused to go. Any
how, the women demand that the
war Labor Board uphold its own prin-
clples, which call for the protection
OF the workers against discrimination.

COAL MIN ERS Win
WAGE INCREASE
War Labor Board Adjusters
Grants Increase to Skilled
and UnSki|Ied Men,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Organ-
lzed anthracite mine workers have
won their fight for wage increases.
conference of nation labor adjust
ing agencies has ordered general ad-
vances ranging from AZ cents an hour
for outside mine laborers to approx
mately $3.50 a day for contract min
erS.
Last August the United Mine Work
ers appealed to Fuel Administrator
Garfield for increases in both the
hard and soft coal fields. The union
lists showed that large numbers of
anthracite miners were leaving this
Industry because of rates which
ranged as low as S2.77 a day for
thousands of miners. while the aver
age rate for skilled men was $500 a
day. The fuel administrator refused
to favor increases and notified the
miners that if they secured a new
agreement with their employers he
would veto it.
The miners were handicapped by a
sentiment created through newspapers
that they are making fabulous wages
and that they lay off about every
other week to visit New York and
indulge in joy rides. In their reply
to Mr.. Garfield they stated that
"again and again we will come to
you in behalf of the mine workers
of the United States until we hope
you will concede the mine workers
everywhere the increase in wages for
which they are asking"
While the miners persistence was
