What the Working Girls
, Say for Themselves

Mrs. Blatchs experience was borne
out by my own. ,IOf over fifty girls in
terviewed, including girls working on
streetcars, as ticket collectors, elevator
operators, telephone and telegraph oper-
ators, printers and office workers, all en-
ployed at night, not one wanted such
laws passed for her. One expert woman
printer who has already been barred
from night work because of the factory
law for women under which her occu-
patton is included, said:
Before this law was ideally happy
My husband and both worked at night.
We went to work together, came home
together, and spent our days together
We got very good pay, for night work
pays better than day work, and the hours
are shorter We did not have to leave
until after the children had had their
supper, and we got home in time to give
them their breakfast and send them off
to school. We slept until early afternoon.
then went out for some fresh air and
recreation. | was thousand times
healthier. Now, because | am barred
from my night job and he still has TO
work at night, we never meet except at
week ends. When am coming home bc

up, he is sleeping. Yet / have to nav
Just as much to belong to the union and

~ Special Laws for the Working Woman

other women members of their operating
force just as long as they please.
Besides, their bills are full of the
most ridiculous euppositions. In the first
place, the women who have drawn them
up are, in the main, women teachers,
doctors, lawyers and women of leisure
whom the laws will not affect. Oddly
enough, it is not the industrial worker
herself who has asked for this special
legislation. But these women advocat-
ing the bills have gone to the girls, have
talked equal pay for equal work, have
said, We'll arrange things so you won't
have to work at night, so you can sit
down while running elevators, won't
have to work at trades in the operation
Of which poisonous fumes are given
off which affect your systems. In short,
we'll fix things so you will have all the
ideal conditions, the men will do all the
hard work, and you'll get equal pay
"They went at things so cleverly that
this is what they made the little working
girl believe, when if she had only stopped
to reason, she would have seen that no
woman could possibly get equal pay when
she didn't do equal work and when she
was so restricted by laws made-as these
organizations say--for her protection
that she couldn't demand equal oppor-
tunities for equal work.
'In their transportation bill they say
no woman shall work after 10 p. m. This
means, then, that the men, who have
been in the employ of the transportation
companies longest and are entitled, by
order of seniority, to the better posi-
tions, will have to do all the running of
cars at night, while the women have the
soft day jobs, and yet demand equal pay.
Now, isn't that ridiculous?

~ HE Legislature now sitting in
4 Albany, among other matters it
will consider, is to decide upon
the passing of several bills which have
hecn drawn up by a joint council of
women representing four organizations
the New York State Woman Suffrage
party, the Women's Trade Union League,
the Consumers League and the Young
Women's Christian Associations
Among the bills they have prepared
are four which, if passed, will tend to
inock in the head women's chances of
competing with men for equal pay, equal
work, equal opportunity, or equal any
thing.

Mrs. Blatch Speaks as a

In connection with this clause Mrs.
Harriet Stanton Blatch, author of ono

"humanist, not feminist" she says, who
hopes to sec "all adult human beings
working under ideal conditions" speaks
AS follows:
The exemption clause shows an ap-
pailing lack either of sincerity or of
clear thinking which makes my blood
boil. 1t permits the four organizations

Nurses and Chambermaids
Have No Protection

1T is, moreover, significant that the
bills proposed by the women of these
four organizations propose no legisla-
ton for women working in those lines
where they are not competing with men
such as trained nursing, domestic ser
vice and others. 1t might be we'll worth
somebody's time to investigate and find
out whether or not the bills haven't be-
hind them an organized group of men
working to cut out the competition of
women with men.
LET us have sane legislation. Let
women first begin to deal ruthlessly with
the matter of child labor and the labor
of young people, and to deal with adult
labor through the restrictions and regu-
lation of working conditions for all
workers. Let us eliminate, where posi-
BILE, the use of dangerous acids. We have
prejudices and foolish ideas which make
us use highly glazed china-to make
which endangers a workers health
when low glaze is not injurious. The
present method of making felt hats from
rabbit hair is another dangerous trade.
According to the manufacturer, the hair
is used in order that the present dyes
will take better than they would on felt
made from wool. Something is wrong
with us, then, if we will permit human
being to suffer i'll health and often death
in order that we may have preferred
color on a hat
Mrs. Blatch concluded by saying:
"The subject matter of these bills makes
me boil ] cannot bear to see them
foisted upon working girls as laws which
will bring them ideal conditions when,
in truth, it will bar them from good jobs
Several girls whom l have talked with
never heard of the bills, and begged to
know what they could do to prevent
their becoming law. / told them that
all they could do would be to write i'm
mediately to their representative at AL
bany, protesting against the bill as un-
just restriction of opportunity, and beg
HIM to prevent its passing"

REV. FELIX De ANDRE|s
CAUSE OF GREAT AMERICAN
MISSIONARY INTRODUCED
AT ROME.

The news from Rome that by re-
ton of Rites, the cause of the beati-
fication of the Very Rev. Felix De An
dreis, priest of the Congregation of
the Mission and the first superior of
the VincentianS in the United States,
has been introduced is received with
special joy.
Father De Andreis was one of the
most brilliant and most heroic priests
that ever left the Old World for the
new. Versed in languages, medicine,
music, as we'll as the professional sub
jects of theology and Scripture, he
was a professor of theology in the
international House of his Congrega-
ton in Rome, and also in Propaganda.
Cardinal Della Somalia, then Vicar
General of Rome, urged his acceptance
of. the episcopal dignity, but the ar
rival in Rome of Bishop Dubourg,
Apostolic Administrator of the Dio-
cese of Louisiana, decided the great
Vincentian to proceed to the United
States.
If the cause of Father De Andreis
is rapidly pushed and if he is pro-
claimed saint by the Church before
other men and women who labored in
this country, and whose cause for
Qualification is under way, Baltimore
will have the unique distinction of
having welcomed the first saint of the
United States, because Father De An
dreis first landed on American soil in

The securing of such a record will
require the generous assistance of all
Catholics, especially the aid and the
sympathetic cooperation of every
Bishop and priest, particularly of every
pastor, the heads of Catholic societies
of men and women, and the editors of
Catholic papers and magazines.
