laundries, and women are following
their own jobs out into the world. Wo-
men are believing more and more to-
day that they not only have right to
work but they must justify their ex-
istence; that they must be unwilling
to take from the world more than they
contribute TO the world; that they
must be producers as well as consum-
ers. Women are justifying their ex-
istence not merely In wage-earning
work, but also in. volunteer social
work, In all sorts of civil and social
enterprises, and as ever in the making
of homes and rearing of families.
Home making is still the most impor-
tant and responsible career, everybody
will admit, and to that career women
must bring all the ability that they
have along business lines, along pro-
fessional lines and along artistic lines.
Before the world war many of us
gave little attention to that vast army
of women working outside the home.
In the ten years before 1910, the num-
ber of women employed in wage-earn-
ing occupations had increased from
five to eight million, and since 1910,
the number has increased far more
rapidly.
In order to protect the health of the
women and through them the health
of the families in Kentucky, we have
a law relating to women in industry,
that no woman under twenty-one shall
be employed for more than sixty hours
in one week, or ten hours in one day.
except in domestic service or nursing
that no woman shall be employed in
factories, bakeries, laundries, stores
and in similar places OF occupation for
more than sixty hours in one week,
| ten hours in one day. In this law We
have some regulation in regard to san
itary conditions. Also in stores, one
seat must be provided for every three
women clerks How much protection
this law does not offer is obvious. The
next legislature will be asked for bills
including the eight hour day. the mini
mum wage and possibly other legisla-
tions which will strengthen present
laws in relation to women In industry.

PAY
FOR LOST MAIL
No Money to indemnify
Senders Of Missing
Parcels.

Postmaster General Burieson's de-
partment has declared a moratorium
at least 30 far as insured parcel post
packages are concerned.
This branch OF the postal service Is
unable to pay on" This is because
the last Congress failed TO pass the
appropriation bills.
The department has allowed about
10000 claims for lost parcels which
were insured The amounts of insur-
ance ranged from SO up TO 800. the
latter amount being the maximum.
On the basis Of the lower figure the
Post once Department would have to
pay out H.7oo. 900. On the basis they
all were insured for 500 each, the ag-
gregste. $4,000
The parcel post business increased
enormously during the war. A great
bulk OF the business came 70 and
from the various cantonments. The
Postoffice Department has kept up
with approving the claims as fast as
they came in but they could not draw
and authorize v~rants for the pay
ments for the same because there
was no money left in Mr.. Burieson's
excheouer for that particular purpose.
As a result the postal authorities, to
use the colloquialism Of the d<y. were
compelled Ito stall on those entitled
to indemnity.
The department has been flooded
with requests for payment for the
approved claims. but until the in
coming Congress appropriates the
money. nothing can be done.

PAY FOR BERGER
LIKELY TO co ON
Socialist Representative
Elect Says Unseating
Would Be Foolish"

Though he may be denied a seat
in the House, Victor Berger may
draw pay as Congressman for
several months. as the COMMITTEES to
which his case will be referred may
await the result of his appeal be-
fore making its report.
The Socialist Representative
elect from the Fifth Wisconsin dfs-
trict has an appeal from his con-
viction OF violating the espionage
act pending before the Federal
Court of Appeals. II the decision
there is against him he is certain
to take his case to the Supreme
Court.
Denier Violating Law.
In this event It would be several
months at least before a final rsll-
ing was had. 1t is considered more
probable. however. that the House
will make its own investigation of
the charges against Berger. rather
than merely acting on the court
record as prima facie evidence.
In statement yesterday Berger de-
MED he has violated the law. He
charges that the jury was packed.
and says the verdict should not carry
weight with Congress. The final de-
cision of the higher courts should be
awaited before judgment is passed
on his right 10 a seat in Congress-
he declares.
Some members discern a threat in
this statement of the Socialist leader:
when House Conyeues.
"If Congressman really believes in
government, II would
be foolish and criminal to deprive the
Socialist party-a party casting over
!. .ooo.0 900 votes-of its sole representa-
tive in Congress- As a matter of fact,
a large number OF Socialists in Con-
