Resolution.


of the International Congress OF
Working Women. now in session at
the National Museum, was given over
to a special meeting of the executiy e
committee. which will announce later
in what form the resolution advocat-
ing an eight-hour day for working
women will be presented to the inter-
national labor conference.
Addresses descriptive of the status
of the eight-hour day in the countries
they represented were made by the
delegates yesterday.
Nine. Marie Majevrova of Czechoslo-
vakia. and member of the municipal
council of the city Of Prague, told of
the sufferings her people had endured
during the war. Applause greeted her
statement that Czechosiovakia was the
first European country to pass an eight
agricultural and clerical workers. She
said that this had been the first bill
passed by the national assembly Of the
new republic of Czechoslovakia.
Declares for Six-Hour Day.

national assembly, according to Con-
stancia Olscheweska of Lott, Poland
a delegate from the Polish Textile
Workers Union to the congress. Nine
Olscheweska approves of the adoption
of an International standard for an
eight-hour day Which would include
agricultural workers in it's opera ton.
Italy has adopted the Shift system,
while France has decided upon a basic
efght-hour day, providing that the
farm laborer work so many hours in
the year. the average being eight
hours per day while in reality the
lengths of the working day is chang
ed according to the season.
Long Summer Days.
DIR. Sundquist. delegate from Sweden,
contended that the short summers
make it impossible to enforce an
eight-hour day for farm laborers in
her country. as no time in the twenty
-FOUR long summer days can be wasted.
In discussing the question of home
work, delegations from the United
States. France and Poland declared
themselves in favor of abolishing all
home work. Miss Mary Anderson,
chief of the woman's bureau of the
United States Department Of Labor,
speaking for the American delegation,
stated the objections to home work on
the grounds that 1t was always the
poorest paid work, that it could not
be controlled and that it encouraged
child labor and tended to spread
disease.
DR. Tomo Inouye. reporting for the
Japanese delegation. pointed out the
dangers OF home work in her own
country, and declared that the women
of Japan wanted an eight-hour day.
as did the working women of all
other lands.

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1919-03-07

One of the most progressive and
far reaching questions ever Inaugural
ted by any state will be decidedly
the voters of the state of Michiga
at the election on April 7th, when the
$50,000,000 Road Amendment comes
up for vote of the people. Some
opposition has already been manifest
ed by those who are not familiar with
the provisions of the question. A
common opinion seems to prevail that
the adoption of this amendment would
carry with it, the issuance of the err
tire $50,000,000 in bonds. This idea,
from which has developed some oppo-
sition, is erroneous. Those who vote
in favor of this amendment do not
vote to bond the state of Michigan in
any sum. The amendment merely
provides that bonds may be issued
from time to time as they are needed
for road work, and to assure Michi-
gan of its share of Federal aid The
amount in which road bonds may be
issued, if the amendment carries, will
be determined by the Legislature
The Fifty Million" which seems to
have been misleading, is simply a
limitation. One mighty important
point to remember in connection with
this question is this:-The federal
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1919-03-07

The ladies of Paw Paw, members
of one society at least, are exhibiting
a commendable spirit, in preparation
for their newly acquired duty, the
right of franchise. "The Daughte,~
of the Coterie" is the society in quest
ion, and it is to be sincerely hoped
that other feminine organizations are
making similar efforts to get ready
for the great responsibility. These
ladies have weekly meetings, and a
part of each evening is devoted to
this study. One evening a gentleman
who was familiar with all the angles
of actual voting, was invited to adj
dress them on the intricacies of the
ballot; This week, they invited gen
tleman to address them on the subject,
"Why | should affiliate with the Re-
publican party" and next week another
speaker will tell them why they
should affiliate with the Democratic
party. In talking with the writer,
one of the ladies said, eve do not
want to be republicans just because
our fathers happen to be republicans:
Neither do we want to affiliate with
the Democratic party just because, we
happen to be a member of a Demo-
cratic family. We realize that we
must become identified with some
political party, and we want to be
satisfied in our own minds, just what
party that should be for our own
good and for the good of our country.
When these ladies finally make up
their minds, they will be able to
why they are republicans, or why
they are democrats, and if they can
do that, they will be better qualified
to vote than nine out of ten of the
voters of the masculine gender, who
casts his vote for the first time. In
IA great majority of cases, the young
man swears allegiance to the political
faith Of his father, and so on down
through the generations. The only
excuse he has for voting the re-
can or democratic ticket as the case
may be, is that his father and grand
father before him had voted that
ticket. The interest manifested by
the young ladies of this village, in
preparation for the ballot, is worthy
of emulation. 1t is an example that
the young men of the land would do
we'll to copy, and is an example that
the women of the country in general
will undoubtedly follow. Such activ-
ity and enthusiasm on the part of vet
ers of to-day augers we'll for the
safety and security of the America
of the future.

government will distribute the sum of
$500 600, 900 among the states of the
Union for road building. If the state
of Michigan is to receive any portion
of this sum, it must raise a like
amount within the state. Should the
amendment carry on April 7th, and
Michigan's quota of the Federal fund
say, should be $5,OO0,0O0, then the
legislature could authorize bonds in
the sum of $5,0OO,OOO and create
road fund of $10,000,000. In other
words, if the amendment carries, it
will be possible for the state of Mich
igan to get one dollars worth of road
building in return for an expenditure
of fifty cents. The question is big
one and mighty important. The True
Northerner takes the position that it
is the duty of every voter in the state
that it is ill-advised and unjust for
any man who knows nothing about
the proposed amendment, to knock it.
The question of road building in this
state is just in it's infancy. Great
strides have been made since the old
days of path masters. 1t would seem
that the amendment, vote on which
was authorized without a dissenting
vote of the legislature, is entitled to
a careful consideration of the voters
of the state. The amendment if car
ried, will pave the way for Federal
aid in road building, and will be
progressive step in the great era of
highway development and indu~'
progress which the entire country is
now facing.

France might have had peace in the

occasions when the vital interests and

All intelligent men and women are

proposition which is presented to the

greater extent than those policies
which have secured peace for America

or, on the contrary, does it add to the
opportunity, to the cause, and to the

One of the most momentuous prob
lens which ever faced this great
nation, is the so-called League of
Nations. This great question is fast
developing into political foot ball,
and therein lies the grave danger. 1t
is deep question about which the
average citizen is uniformed. There
are plenty Of arguments advanced on
both sides, and it is up to the intelli-
gent citizens of this land to study the
question and be able to assist in for
public opinion. 1t will be
an outrage, if it is permitted to be-
come a political issue, for presidential
candidates to drag through the mud
of the next campaign.
