REVEALS ALLIES
GREAT GAINS BY
'GASLESS' SUNDAYS

Washington, D. c., February Six
ty days before the armistice was sign

western front had reached critical
stage, Marshal Foch cabled the fuel
administration: IF you don't keep
p your petroleum situation, We shall
lase the war;
This and other messages from allied
leaders were made public tonight by
the fuel administration to show "how
deliveries of American gasoline in
quantities on the western front alone
prevented alterations in the plan of
campaign which forced the Genital
powers to an armistice."

SAMEPAY ASKED
FOR Equal WORK
Women Get the Same, Scale as

Workers Union,

Women should have the same pay
as men for the same class Of work
in all lines Of industry, declared
Miss Agnes Johnson, general organ
| izer for the Boot and Shoe Work.
ers' union, in discussing women's
| wages with a representative OF the
| labor press for publication in Labor
Day editions. Absolute equality in
! organization and equal pay for equa'
| work, she said, is the slogan Of the
| boot and shoe workers organization
Probably one-third of the $4,000
workers in the shoe factories in the
United States under the union Or
ganization are women, according to
Miss Johnson, and practically all
are employed on the piece work
system and receive the same scale
as the men.
A minimum wage for women has
also been fixed by the union of $14
| a week after so days employment.
This organization did not wait for
the states to pass legislation fixing
| a minimum wage, Miss Johnson
said, but it told the employer that
after a girl had worked 60 days, the
employer must either let her go or
! pay her $14 week. The average
wage at which an inexperienced girl
goes to work is $12. The wage scale
! again provides that after another 60
days the girls are to receive the top
notch wages in the particular branch
in which they are employed, and
they make from SIG to SIS and some
higher.
Piecework System Preferred.
The shoe workers prefer the piece
work system and some Of the best
skilled women workers make from
$35 to $3S week. The union be-
lieves that if person has unusual
skill and can turn off work rap
idly she should receive the pay for
her skill, and not the employer.
On this pieceWork basis men are
often able to make more than
women, but they do not get any bet
ter pay for any single. piece of work.
If they make better wages, it is be-
| cause they can turn off more work,
said Miss Johnson.
Custom is the obstruction in most
cases to women getting the same
wages as men, in the opinion of
Miss Johnson. Elevator girls in Chi
cago were cited as an example of
unjust discrimination. The girls are
running elevators and doing the
same work as men but, she said,
are getting SO to SIS less a. month.
Such injustice, Miss Johnson be-
lieves, is due to the system in in
dustry today rather than the desire
Of the owner of a concern to op-

Married Women in Factories.

not be lost sight of, Miss johnson
said, and that is that there ar,

more and more married women going

more and more married women going
into the factories. A large percent
age in the shoe trade are married
women. It means a double burden.
The average woman wants things;
she wants some money of her own.
She goes into the factory and makes
SIS or $40 week, and possibly pays
on a home. There was time when
it was considered disgrace for
married woman to work in a fac
tory. Now women want to be
economically Independent, and many
would rather work and have the
money to use as they see fit.
Regarding the statement that has
been made that women do not take
business view of the business life,
Miss Johnson declared that they are
more conscientious than man. A
girl who has been with a firm for
any length of time as rule has the
interest Of that firm at heart. She
would not do anything to hurt the
firm. The man, as a rule, Miss john
son said, is generally looking out for
himself. The woman is more loyal,
and yet when it comes to matter
of wages she receives less pay.

What Is the Cause Of
Backache?

Backache is perhaps the most COM

from 1t. Sometimes the cause is OBJ
scure, but DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. T.,
q high medical authority, says the
cause is very often form Of catarrh
that settles in the delicate membranes
of the feminine organs. When these
organs are infiamed, the first symp-
tom is backache, accompanied by bear
ing down sensations, weakness, un-
healthy discharges, irregularity. pain
full periods, irritation, headache and
q general rundown condition. Any
woman In this condition is to be pit
led, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which is separate and
distinct medicine for women.
It Is made of roots and herbs put up
without alcohol or opiate of any kind, for.
DIR. Pierce uses nothing else in his pre-
scription. Favorite Prescription is q nat
aaral remedy for women, for the vegetable
growths of which it is made seem to have
been intended by Nature fer that very
purpose. Thousands of girls and women,
young and old, have taken it. and thousands
have written grateful letters to DIR. Pierce
saying it made them well. In taking
Favorite Prescription, it is reassuring to
know that it goes straight to the cause OF
the trouble. There is but one way to
overcome sickness, and that is to overcome
the cause. That is precisely what Favor
tie Prescription lis intended to do.
