 Labor as we'll as capital is entitled to adequate compensation. Each has the indefonsible right of organization Of collective bargaining and of speak ing through representatives of their own selection.

We congratulate the legislatures of B states which have already ratified said amendment and we urge the democratic governors and legislatures of Tennessee, North Caro- lima and Florida and such states as have not yet ratified the federal suf- frage amendment to unite m ar effort to complete the process of ratifica- ton and secure the seth state in time for all the women of The United States to participate in the fall election. We commend the effective advocacy of the measure by President Wilson.

 Disabled Soldiers
 The federal government should
  treat with utmost consideration every | disabled soldier, sailor and marine of i Inc World war. whether his disa bility | he due to wounds received in line of 1 action or to health impaired in serv- i ice: and for the dependents of the | brave men who died in line of duty | tho governments tenderest concern and richest bounty should he their l requital.
