WOMEN REPLACED MEN
IN 1876 WORKING LINES
National Defense Council Shows
Varied War Occupations Proved
Substitutes Adaptable

The report of the department of women in
industry of the woman's committee of the
Council of National Defense shows that 1875
distinct occupations were open to women
during the war, not including different proc
esses into which a number of the occupa-
tions divided themselves
The list of occupations varied from the
learned profession of law to the less skilled
job of janitress.
In the mechanical trades women were
found to be especially adaptable. even in
metal work. Many plants throughout the
state reported that women learned more
quickly than men and that they spoiled less
work than the unskilled men.
Because of the great demand for woman's
labor many school children in the eighth
grade were found to be leaving school with
out taking full advantage of the education
offered them.
The department OF women in industry
made an investigation to discover some
means for keeping the children at school.
In looking 10 the future employment OF
woman labor the department believes that
'the normal growth of peace-time occupa-
tions cannot fail TO produce openings for
women who had entered technical war
work"

sylvana division of the woman's committee
OF the Council of National Defense In May.

100 Per Cent Republican Backs Wilson

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sr--I feel, although 100 per cent Repub-
lican myself that the next President OF the
United States will not be a Republican. due
to the actions of some of our thick-headed
Senators on the league of nations ques-
ton.
Public sentiment is with President Wilson
on this question, and the sooner such men
as Knox. Lodge and others Of their flock
realize this the better it will be for Repub-
licans at the next presidential election, for.
as already stated, the people tthe citizens)
elect a President and not a few Senators,
therefore such men who have been the Lead
ers against the League OF nations" Will reel
the affects of their actions when the day OF
reckoning will come, and that day viii be
Republican nominee against some other rae
ton. Then if the other faction happens 10
win and elect their candidate for President.
won't there be hell to play-but 1t will Dc
the same old story. ~ told you So Be-
ware, Republican Senators, unless you
change your thoughts in regards TO tho
League OF nations" you are doomed for
long time to come.
When a man is right he is right regard
less of political feelings. l am Republican
but that's how I feel toward Wilson on
the league of nations. H.. ,.l E

The Average Man

To fb, Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-Presdent Wilson in his address to the
Governors said: We are at last learning
that the business of government is to take
counsel for the average man.. Ana ne
might we'll have added, as an and In ac-
complishing what the Governors conferences
was called for. the following:
"The average man is the most important
in any community, because he is IN the iars-
est number. The amount of money which the
average man earns is the basis on which
society rests II employment is generaN ana
business good and money circulating y ,isn
wages things will be prosperous\ ital
will make a profit The total of
business that can be done in a -
limited to the total amount Of wages In
that time.
"The wages OF the average man for 1913
total,d probably forty billion dollars, from
which profit of twenty billions was made.
After paying government expenses. the living
Of the rich, etc, there was not sufficient left
Of the twenty billion dollars to pay the
proper amount OF interest on the two hundred
billion dollars worth of capital and fixed
property
"Our system OF allowing corporations to
issue securities which are a promise to pay
in the future. and In allowing price to be-
placed on land, results in land values to the
amount of tens OF billions OF dollars and tens
Of billions Of dollars in corporation securities
to exist as perpetual debt, This enormous
load OF debt has prior claim upon the cash
in circulation, and holds the wage2tof the
average man down to living basis only, ana
keeps many out OF employment
The natural law does not permit OF per-
petua debt, and the punishment which nature
innicts for this debt is in Withholding Z
marlet in which these tens of billions OF dol
lars worth of corporation securities could sell
for cash. This results in curtailed markets
markets on which the corporations depend
for existence-and is the reason why the total
of the corporations could not collect enough
interest from the twenty billions profit made.
"Obvously, wages must be raised IL We
are to make sufficient profit and employ
the average man, and 1t seems to me that
the proper procedure would be to put busi-
ness a cash basis by requiring corpora
tions to guarantee the redemption of their
securities in cash on demand This should
gradually eliminate the land market, and al
low better and better wages to be paid, until
the proper limit was reached of the total
wages OF the average man being sufficient to
buy back all he produced each year (inciud-
ing capitaD, at two times the labor cost
Profit Is largely gift of nature due to the
fertility of the soil but nature demands that
all the people share In this profit by all the
people owning their share of the weath--a
share based on their earning capacity and
contribution to society"
