WORKING WOMEN TO
END SESSION TODAY

The international Congress OF
working Women closes It's sessions at
noon today.
Its final debates are on the question
of establishing national and interna-
tional employment bureaus and OF
prohibiting night work save in GER
tain essential Industries where con-
tinuous operation is necessary.
The Congress also favors 'rhe ap-
pointment of a committee, including
women under the League Of Nations,
to coordinate the work of national
research in the dangerous trades,
with a view to eliminating poisonous
substances through the substitution
of non-poisonous, and where this is
impossible to devise new and efficient
means of protection"
The foreign delegates win be the
recipient of numerous social atten-
tions before they depart from the

The solution of the strike Ques-
non," he said, 'is for both sides to
enter into conference, determined to
put aside class prejudice, class
hatred, and strive earnestly to find
the balance Of justice.
When the injunction proceedings
were issued, the miners strike call
already was out. The proceedings
have made a condition in which strik-
ing miners are without leadership in
their battle for justice, decent work
ing hours. fair wages. From now on
1t is every man for himself and the
devil take the hindmost. II was a
grave mistake-a grave mistake. And
yet am looking for a speedy termin-
alton of the struggle. So well have
the men been trained by their former
skirmishes with capital that now, in
decisive battle, I feel the workers
will come forth victorious, even
though their leaders have been shack
led by the proceedings to cripple
strike action.
