New York. March 5-On the eve of
his return to Paris, President Will
son told an audience of 5000 persons
IN the Metropolitan Opera House last
night that he was convinced the ma
iority Of the people were in favor Of
the league of nations.
The league, he asserted, is the only
means of assuring permanent peace.
1t is meant, he said, as a notice TO all
outlaw nations that they must not at
tempt any such enterprise as Ger
many had attempted.
Critics Of the covenant. he said,
evidently had not observed the tenn

sacrcdly bound TO the realization Of
those ideals
The President spoxe in his usually
carefully modulated tones. but now
and then, carried away by interest
in his subject. raised his voice almost
20 a shout as he emphasized some tell
ing point. He was frequently inter-
rupted by applause. The audience
clearly was in sympathy with him and
with his plan for making war impos-
s.blc in future.
His opening assertion, 81 won't
come ba:k till its over, over there
won the APPROVAL Of his hearers and he
was compelled to halt for more than
Il minute until the applause had sub
sided.
Throughout he spoke without refer
cree 20 notes or manuscript, making
occasional references to the utter
a~ce, of Mr.. Taft who had preceded
him.
There was dcafening applause at
the conclusion of the speech when the
President, speaking Of the aims Of the
conference, said:
"God give US the strength and
vision to do it wisely. God give lis
the privilege of knowing that we did
it without counting the cost ard be-
cause we were true Americans. lovers
Of liberty and Of the right.
There was no Interruptions until
the President had finished when a
voice from the body Of the house call
Cd out:
How about lreland?"
The interrupter was promptly
sque!ched by disgusted exclamation
of "Aw, shut up"
The .ufragists who were supposed

BARTENDERS TO
 BE FARMERS

David E. Miller. treasurer of the Bartenders' Union for the past 23 years, intends to take up farming as his occupation after July 1, when the country goes dry. P. J. Kelleher, former president of the union, says that he also intends to farm.
 In MT. Miller's opinion there will be no rush on the part of bartenders for any particular kind of work, but that each one wil1-take up the line of work he was engaged in before tend ing bar. He also says that the union will continue as a benefit society and will take no active part in combating the dry movement although he be- lieves that when President Wilson ar rives in this country he will take some action to relieve the situation.
 A regular meeting of the union will be held next Sunday afternoon and reports will be received as to the con- ditions throughout the country.

Long Working Hours
 Detriment Health

A mass of evidence is available both in this country and in Europe indicating the serious effects of long working hours upon the health of women. This evidence, gathered for the most part by expert Government investigators. has been recognized by the Supreme Court of the United States as justifying the use by the several states of their police power to enforce legislation limiting hours of work. The Supreme Court, in A brief presented to an Oregon court. which led to a decision declaring con- stitutional a law of that State limit ing hours of labor. hold that "health is the foundation of the state. No nation can progress, if its workers are crippled by continuous over-exer- . ion. The loss of human energy due to excessive working hours is a na- tional loss and must inevitably result in lowering the Nations prosperity"
 In the United States, as a whole growing tendency exists toward a shorter working day. The worlds ex- perience of the evil effects of over work upon the general welfare has led the majority of the States of the Union to enact laws limiting the hours of women's employment Only of the 4S states have failed to place some limitation upon the length o1 the working day of women. In 20 or the States the hours of work have Teen limited to eight or nine
 But in those States which have not adopted this important measure of protection for the health of their citizens, abnormally long hours of employment for women is made DOS sible. In a survey of hours and work Ing conditions for women in one such State recently made by the women in Industry Service, United States De- partment of Labor. it was found that in 30 per cent. of the establishments investigated the regular working day, without overtime. was 10 hours or more for 2,s17 Cor 23 per cent) of the women employed in the shops visited
 Specific instances of overtime legally possible in this State showed women working as long as 65 hours in a week in one factory; 73 hours in one factory; 73 hours in one cannery; S4 hours in another; 75 hours and a seven-day week in one manufacturing plant; and SS hours and 40 minutes in an establishment manufacturing automobile parts.
 With the growing comp1exity of the | problem of women's employment and with the increase in their numbers | in industry. it is becoming increas- l ingly important that State depart
 ments of labor should be equipped to enforce laws regulating their employ
