products, Taking the question thru and bye, it resolves itself into this; that men can take women's place ir four fifths of all industries while wo- men can fill the place of men in com paratively few instances without low ering the volume of production. There fore tho only incentive to their em- ployment in the average industry Ees in the fact that they demand less wag- es than men.
 To our way of thinking. the Labor Administration has displayed far
 sighted wisdom in placing a ban upon
 the employment of women as long as
 male labor is available, for there is
 hardly a doubt that a major portion
 of the industries throughout the coun-
 try would be substituting women labor
 for male labor under the plea that adequate male labor WIS unobtainable.
 were il not for the action of the Ad- ministration in demanding that wo- men laborers shall bc paid the same
 wages as men.
 In spite of the fact that we have drafted more than million men for army service. there is still an ample
 supply of male labor 10 man the na- tions industries if the supply is prop erly distributed, as it probably will be through the activities of the De. patment of Labor. which is already inaugurating a plan for the mobiliza- tion of the labor resources of the coun- try so that the man power of the na- ton can be utlizcd to the greatest advantage
 By insisting that firms employing | women in situations for which mems l labor can he obtained shall pay them the same wages as granted to men. the Labor Administration has taken the most effective means of preventing a discrimination which would speedily result in thousands of men being thrown out of work. with resulting demoralizisg conditions of the utmost gravity to the nation

TIM ELY ACTION

With the possible exception of those who are inclined to take advantage of the present scarcity of male labor to substitute female workers for males. there arc few who will not give in- stnt indorscmcnt to the decision of the Federal Labor Administration to adopt policy aimed at discourage ing the introduction of women labor in American industries as long as male labor is procurablc
 Scattered throughout the country are of thousands Of employers who womb he only too glad 10 take ad. vantage of the labor stlingency creat- ed hv war conditions to obtain cheaper labor by the employment of women. and if they are allowed to pursue the practice already inaugurated in a few industries, there is little doubt that q major percentage Of the industries of Inc nation would soon he conducted almost entirely by female hands
 II IS an uncontrovertablc fact that ninety per cent of the firms which substitute female for male labor do so for the one and only reason that wo- men will work cheaper than men. Some Of them occasionally seek to excuse th" action bY prating of the superior efficiency or dependability of female workers, but the real truth of the mat ter is that they are merely looking to increase their profits by the employ ment of cheaper labor Except when employed in the few industries to which women arc peculiarly adapted. women workers arc no more efficient than men and are by no means as well equipped to bear the stress of labor as their male brethern. As we said before, excepting a few indus trles for which women display peculiar fitness by reason of dcxterty of move mcnt or delicacy of touch, there are few situations in which women can be employed to better advantage than men. In nine cases out of ten they are hardly comparable to men in turning out the maximum amount of

HARRY WHEELER IS

 County Assigned to Duty With Cavalry Outfit Now
 Being Formed at Douglas.

According to adyices received in this city last evening. Harry c. Vince CT, sheriff of Cochise county. has been commissioned a captain in the signed to the 30S cavalry regiment now being formed in Douglas.
 When Sheriff Wheeler returned to Tombstone from his pursuit of John and Thomas Powers and Thomas Sis son, he found 9 telegram awaiting him from the war department asking him if he would accept a commission in the aviation corps reserve as cap tain, and if so to wire his acceptance and to report as soon as possible to Garden City, Long Island. On the day that he wired his acceptance he called all of his regular deputies to Tomb stone to bid them farewell as he did not expect to return to Arizona. On Saturday, arch ?. he left to report at Long Island. From the reports Ie- ceived yesterday it is evident that he was given a commission and then transferred to the neA regiment now being formed in Douglas and probably to be desgnated an Arizona regiment.
 Anxious to Enter.
 Sheriff Wheeler has been trying ever since war was declared to enter the active service He was given an appointment to attend the officers training camp at San Francisco but after about forty days of training was turned down on account of Dhy- sical disabilities. He returned and resumed his duties in the sheriffs of- flee. He was then given another ar pointment to report at Leon Springs but could not leave here at the tine on account of business in the district. He then tried to enlist as a private but was turned down. He also tired to enlist in the Canadian army but was refused on account of his having passed the age limit
 His being appointed to the 3OSth regiment will mean that number of his friends will volunteer to join his command. He had hoped 10 be able to get into the service and be trans ferred for service to France to be with his brother, Will, who is now lieuten- ant with the rainbow regiment. a New York organization.

LONDON. March g. Directing at- tention to the seriousness of the Ger man menace in Siberia and in south ern Asia, urging Japanese intervention and insisting that the German people afford no hope of rising against their imperialistic masters, Lord Robert Cecil, minister of blockade, pointed out in a statement to the Associated Press what already had been accomplished by the Germans in the east. Spread ing a large map on the table, Lord Roberts said:
 Look at what Germany has already done towards a scheme of world con- quest In the north she has taken rich Baltic provinces over which she pur- poses to install a German prince. She sent troops to Finland and concluded an agreement which puts the whole foreign policy If Finland at her dis posal. These steps in the north have practically cut off Russia from access to the sea.
