CENTURY Of THOUGHT
AIDS WOMEN WORKERS
National Women's Trade Union
League viii Present Its
Purposes at Inter1a-
tionaI Congress at
Washington.

The National WomenAs Trade Union
League of America has had nearly one
hundred years preparation for the
part which It will play both on the
floor and as hostess to the first Inter.
national Congress of Working Women
which Is being called by that ofganiza-
ton in Washington on October %.
Women in the United States were
first organized to secure better work
ing conditions In 1921. This organiza-
ton continued to grow until the time
Of the Civil war, when all labor organ
izations broke down. Sometime after
the war women again organized, and
In 1903 the National Women's Trade
Union league, as It now operates, be-
came living thing.
The present organization has MEM
bership of 100000 women and affiliated
membership of over million, which
includes men who are backing the
program of the league and are in in
dustries where women are employed,
1t is affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
The National Women's Trade Union
league tries, through its organization.
to teach women to help themselves to
get better working conditions. Its
purpose is ITO protect the women work
ers Of America from inadequate wage
and extreme working hours through
the organization of the workers, and
through such legislation as the mini
mum wage and the eight-hour day; to
increase cooperative action among
them; to create a public opinion that
really understands the labor move
ment; to secure definite and accurate
information concerning conditions
among women and child wage earners
leading to legislative action; to supply
at all times to all wage earners as
sistanee in working out their indus
trial difficulties"
Mrs. Raymond Robins Is president
OF the league. and chairman Of its com
mittee on international relationships
which Is In charge of Arrangements fol-
the International Congress Of Work.
ing Women Miss Mary Anderson
chief of the women1s bureau Of the
United States department of Labor, is
secretary to this committee. ,
The congress is being called DIT the
Official request Of the standing com
mittee on Women,s Industrial Organi
cations Of Great Brftatn and OF the
informal request Of women's labor or
ganizattons In France and Italy. Prob
LENS and conditions effecting the worn
of women and children WIN be dis
cussed and remedies for these ibis con
sidered SO that practical suggestions
can be taken back by the delegates to
their own countries

Washington, Oct ---Tbe rnternS
tional Congress Of Working Women,
to be held In Washington ON October
23d at the call OF the National Won
ems Trade Union League Of America,
affords the first opportunity In the his
tory of the world for working women
TO get together to discuss their COM
mon problems and different phases
Of employment to the end that they
may inaugurate higher industrial
standards the world over" says Mary
Anderson, chief Of the Women's Blu
reau Of the United States Department
Of Labor.
Miss Anderson rs secretary 30 the
committee on International Relation
ships Of the Trade Union League and
in charge Of arrangements for the con.
ference.
Miss Anderson continued to say:
"The United States can no longer be
Isolated as a nation. We have taken
our place in the family Of nations and
stand in danger Of either going up OF
down with the rest Of the world In re
gard to industrial standards. To this
end we must never forget that by rails

100000 women In gainful occupa.

ing against child labor and giving
proper protection and care to women

the standards, and that Just as soon
as we fail to make our standards as
high as they should be we will cause
suffering and hardship among women
and children either in our own coun-
try or in some distant, unthought of
part Of the world.
THE Trade Union principle recog
nizes the fact that working women
shall participate in the conditions gov
erning their employment. that they
shall use their own initiative to the
end that they may have control over
conditions under which they work.
They all agree that because Of this
women must have their own part in
the organizations that consider the
conditions Of women's work, whether
these be local, national or interns,
tionai"
Thirty-four countries have been
asked to send women delegates from
accredited labor organize tons to at.
tend the Congress. Each country will
have ten votes on the floor of the Con-
gress, and is entitled to ten delegates.

let the conference go to pieces.

groups were present. The employers
group were still in caucus on the

THE PACKERS AND
Refrigerator CARS

Whether refrigerator cars should be
owned by the railroads or by the pack
ers-a point TO be determined by leg
islation now pending in Washington
may seem to be question rather re
mote from the interests Of the average
person. But inasmuch as these ace
boxes on wheels" as one Of the pack.
ers terms them, are the conveyances
which bring our beefsteak to town, we
may assume that we have q certain
concern about them If they have any
thing to do with the price Of the beef
steak our concern is deep one.
1t is maintained by some that these
cars give the packers who now own
them an unfair advantage over com-
petitofs. This Is stoutly denied by the
packers, who offer as proof the fact
that they pay the same freight rates
as any shipper; and they assert that
the only advantage they enjoy Is In
being able to get enough cars for their
needs by furnishing them themselves
instead Of depending upon the rail-
roads 10 do so. In this they are backed
up by q report Of tile Interstate Com.
merce Commission, made after an In
vestigation Of all privately owned
cars, to the effect that there were no
unfair practices and that a radical
change would adversely affect both
shippers and the public.
While not opposing. In principle,
railroad ownership Of refrigerator
cars, the packers maintain that there
are not enough Of these cars to go
around and that the legislation in
question makes no provision for insur.
ing that the railroads shall furnish
them In sufficient number. On the
other hand, to pool their cars and take
chances Of getting what happened to
be available, would seriously handi-
cap the distribution Of their perishable
meat products. The stream Of ship
ments from the packing plants would
be blocked, which In turn would block
the buying of live stock, and the in
dustry, which is founded on a basis Of
rapid distribution, would be badly
muddled.
In these contentious pro and con,
there are three parties whose interests
are at stake-the packers, their com
petitors and the public. Only one Of
these parties could gain a possible ad-
vantage If the packers, cars were
taken away from them, viz, the pack
ers' competitors. The cars are now
admittedly handled on an economic
and efficient basis, and no change Is
justified unless unfairness is definitely
and absolutely proved-which would
be in absolute contradiction to the re-
port that the Interstate Commerce
Commission has already rendered on
the subject. The public would pay the
bill for inefficiency in the packing In
dustry, and it has no desire to pay this
bill in order to help few Of the pack
ers' competitors. d.

Once Powerful Empire.

No country, not even Egypt, made
a, deeper mark in the history of the
ancient world than Mesopotamia. For
thousands of years it was the seat of
the Assyrian and Babylonian empires.
To the bountiful resources of nature
Its peoples added those of art and
science, and the country during the
centuries waxed not only in material
wealth and military power, but also
In culture. The ancient glory Of
Mesopotamia has passed, but the
glamour remains.
