one of the delegates selected by the
United States. Miss Mary Ander-

also is regarded as a likely dele

was Miss Anderson who was in

other lands. She is secretary of
the committee on international re-

Question of Equal Wages.

One Of the questions which will be
stressed at the congress is that Of
equal wage for similar work per-
formed by men and women. In every
country the woman workers have
found themselves exploited by men
who desired cheap labor. They have
been paid less for their worn than
have men and boys, in many in
stances doing inferior or less work
than the women. Even here In the
United States this not only has been
workers, however, are waking up to
the fact that it is as much to their
own interest as it is to the interest
of the women to bring about an
equal wage, for women doing simi'

ers of the world, are to as
semble for their first great
international congress, or
conference, in Washington the week
of October %. The plans for this
conference. which is expected to be
a milestone in the development Of
improved conditions for woman
workers. are in the hands of the
Woman's Trade Union League.
Thirty-four countries have been
invited by the American women to
send representatives to this first
world congress Of working women.
Each country is entitled to send ten
delegates. and they must all bear
credentials signed by accredited trade
union organizations.
Women Take Stage First.
The congress of the woman work
ers is to be preliminary to the first
international labor conference under
the covenant of the league of ma
tions, which is set for the week i'm
mediateiy after the women meet
here. Instead of waiting to get in
the last word. which has been con-
sidered woman's prerogative since
the first debate between man and
woman, the women are going to take
the stage first. This is largely be-
cause they wish to emphasize their
stand upon matters of interest to
woman workers which are part of
the agenda settled upon for discus
sion by the international labor con-
ference Here are the questions fix
ed for discussion in the international
labor conference, and which have
been included in the invitations sent
to the woman workers by the Wom-
ans Trade Union League:
Women's employment; co. before
and after childbirth. including the
question of maternity benefit; CD
during tho night; (c) in unhealthy
processes.
Recognition in League.
The women feel that they have a
right to be heard on such questions,
and the league Of nations covenant
recognizes that they have such a
right, for 1t specifically provides that
where matters relating to women are
to be considered at the international
labor conferences. then there must
he anpointed at least one woman ad-
wiser regarding such matters.
While the representatives of the
United States at the womans Ia
Dor congress have not yet been Sc.
lected, it is expected that they Will
be at an early date. and that they
will be chosen, as is natural, from
the ranks of the Woman's Trade
Union League. which has charge

All Signers Of Peace Treaty.

These countries are all signatories
to the peace treaty. Notable among
the countries which have not been
asked to send delegates to the con-
gress Of woman workers are Russia,
China. Germany, Austria. Turkey
and Bulgaria
The expenses of the women's con-
gress are to be borne by the Ma
tional Weman's Trade Union
League of America, which will act
as host. 1t is the plan Of the
league to have all Of tho visiting
delegates entertained by the mem
bers Of the league. Should all the

lar work as the men. AS long as the
employer of labor can get a woman
cheaper than a man he will exploit
woman labor for his own benefit.
The plan for international con-
gress of woman workers was
Matched in Paris by representatives
f or the s working women of the
Britain. and it was the British
women who asked that the Ameri-
can Woman's Trade Union League
take charge of the congress and
issue invitations for it's meeting in
Washington.
Delegates From Trade Unions.
Miss Edith Abbott. who represent
ed the American women at this in
ternational conference. is at present
on her way back to the United
States, bringing with her much data
in connection with the coming con-
gress. While no word has been re-
ceived yet as to the names of the
women who will be delegates to this
unique congress, it is expected that
leaders in the trade unions in Great
Britain, France, Italy and other for
eign nations will gather here. AS a
matter of fact. the woman workers
have gone further in the matter of
TRADE unlOnlSm IN Great Britain, and
perhaps in France, than they have in
this country. In other countries the
advance along these lines has not
been SO great. but the woman's
movement is developing more and
more rapidly. it is said.
The Woman's Trade Union League
had a big job on it's hands when it
came to making list of all the
woman's trade unions in the foreign
nations. Such a list was something
entirely new. And yet it was neces-
sary in order to send out the invita-
tions to the various countries to take
part. since only delegates accredited
by trade unions would be accepted.
The data collected will be of great
value. it is believed. in educational
propaganda.
The countries whose women have
been invited to attend the conference
are the Argentine Republic, Austria
liza. Belgium, Bolivia, Great Britain,
Chile. Cuba. .Czechoslovakia, Canada,
Denmark. Ecuador. France. Hondu-
ras, Italy. Japan, Netherlands, New
Zealand. Nicaragua, Norway, Para
quay, Peru. Poland, Portugal. Ruma-

Socialists Defeat Union Move.

At recent trade union congress
a motion was presented declaring in
favor of distinct political labor
party exclusively for the trade union
movement. This was debated for the
better part Of two days. The burden
of the argument of those favoring the
resolution was that the "intellectu-
ais had done their best to capture the
executive control of the trade union.
The congress was warned against put
ting up as candidates brilliant middle
class speakers who tell you that they
know the wants of the workers better
than you do, because they have had a
collegiate education and you have
not" This motion did not prevail be-
cause IL was not favored by the So
"ialist delegates. representing great
numbers in the unskilled unions. who
were pitted against a consideral body
of delegates representing the skilled
unions. with a smaller membership.

Its Government

THE JUDICIARY is composed of a
l. national supreme court of ten
members, six courts of appeal and
minor courts. All judges hold office
during good behavior.
EACH DEPARTMENT of the gov
II eminent has we'll defined duties
directed solely for the public good
and national welfare. At present par
ticular attention is being given by the
government to the broadening Of
Chile's commercial and industrial pol
icies. Government support is being
given new projects and enterprises
and attractive offers made to outside
interests to participate in the develop
ment of Chile's industries. The gov
eminent is particularly anxious to pro-
mote cordial trade and business rela-
tons between Chile and the. United
States. American business men and
capitalists will find much to interest
them in the Chilian field.

Every year the number OF students
coming to this country from Latin

Is common to see young men from the
South American countries enrolled in
American classes.
In Chile there Is an organiza ton
whose functions are TO give all possible
assistance to Chilean students who de-
sire to pursue their studies in the United
States and other countries. The organi-
zation Is a permanent one and periodi-
cally conducts campaigns to obtain funds
to help pay the expenses OF deserving
students. The Government also extends
financial assistance under certain con-

fer students coming to this country spe-
cial rates as far as the Panama Canal.
The organization is endeavoring to OBJ
tain similar concessions from American
companies.
Recently a new body was created in
New York calling itself THE Committee
OF Friendly Relations With Foreign Stu
dents From Latin America" for the pur-
pose OF informing students arriving at
the various ports from the South Amer
lean republics on all matters pertaining
to American colleges
The secretary OF this organisation Is
Arthur w. Manuel, 347 Madison avenue,
| who has visited the colleges and un!ver-
sites to study their individual advan-
tages. The association has representa-
tives at New Orleans and San Francisco
who will meet students on arriving from
South American ports and offer their
services in connection with furnishing
all available information about the col
leges in which the students may be in
