Meet for First International In

Chief Of Women's Bureau, United

Women Must Consider Own
Problems.

Washington, Oct. Title Interna-
tional Congress of Working Women,
to be held in Washington on October
ODD 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 i%naugurate 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 is secretary to 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 or
down with the rest Of the world In re-
gard to industrial standards. To this
end we must never forget that by rails
ing standards Of employment for the
100000 women in gainful occupa-
lions in the United States, by guard
ing against child labor and giving
proper protection and car to women
and babies, we are helping to raise
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, u%nthought of
| part of the world.
1.-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
conditions of women's work, whether
these be local, national or interna
tional."
