The United States government is going definitely on record in favor of the principle of an equal wage for equal work, the same for women as for men. The principle is soon to be put into actual operation in all the federal departments in Wash. ington. The government is also going to establish scales of wages for every variety of work which, it s expected. will before long become the standard of wages paid by civ. ilian employers for work of the same kind. Edward Heating, secre- tary of the reclassification commis sion, says:-"Women employees of the government are to be given a fair chance to receive the compen- sation due for their work and a fair chance for advancement where they show themselves worthy

MUCH UNREST
LAID TO GREED
Workingman and Boss" Both
Found at Fault by Mer-
chants Committee

New York, Nov. 1s.-Disregard of
the public welfare by both employers
and employees, who, though antago-
nistic to each other, seize every op-
portunity to increase their own re-
turns to the detriment of national
prosperity, is largely responsible for
the economic conditions that have
led to the present Industrial unrest,
says report ofthe industrial. COM
mittee of the Merchants Association
of New York. q The blame for this
principle of self-interest is placed
equally on the shoulders of the
workingman and his boss
Understanding and confidence be-
tween employers and employees,
through which a recognized and per-
manent method of cooperation and
conciliation might be reached, limi-
tation of the law of supply and de-
mand, and abandonment of the pres
ent attitude of blind greed on the
part of both parties in industry are
the three methods suggested for the
essential and satisfactory evolution
of the present system.
What form arbitration between
the forces of capital and labor
should take is not included in the
report, which says that varying con-
ditions existing in industry make it
imperative that each business adopt
the plan best suited to its own or
ganiZation. The stipulation is made,
however, that any plan should be
worked out by both employers and
employees, and should not be pre-
scribed by the former alone.

=" Joke Wedding" .
Was Not a Joke,
Is Courts Belief

Trenton, N. j.. Nov. 1S.-The
Court of Errors upheld the Court
of Chancery in refusing to annul the
marriage of Hearsey Girvan and
Georgiana Griffin, alias Georgiana
Williams, which Girvan sought to
have set aside on the ground that
it had been contracted as a joke;
that he and the girl had not lived
together after the ceremony, that
he had contributed nothing to her
support and that she had asked for
nothing. The marriage occurred on
August 16, 1917, at Belmar, where
the young couple met and it was
performed by the Rev. Walter Earle
Ledden, a Methodist minister.
Girvan in his petition to have the
wedding annulled alleged that the
ceremony was simply a vacation
frolic and that he did not feel bound
by it. He thought the girl also re-
garded it as a joke. The Court of
Errors said there was nothing to
indicate that the marriage was a
jest and found no corroboration of
Girvan's claim that it was joke.
