called to order by that veteran anti

Hon. r. r.. Meitzen Of Texas, who has
Just been campaigning in North Dakota.
The League farmers from all parts of

their wives and children along to hear
the League gospel from one Of its ablest
sexpounders. - -
s.. Mr.; Meitzen told what they were do

port of delegation which had been
sent TO the ministry to demand an in

the report was heard the surprise was
so great that there were some mo-

ment by which all wages would be
raisedi 200 per. cent up to 1000 francs
yearly, whichsIatter salary would be-
come. 12'OO0"francs annually. Wages
above that figure also would be raised
on graduated scale.
Under the bill women's wages would
be the same as for men for the same
kind of work The 200 per cent in
crease provided for in the bill is pro
Tisional and may be increased bv so
