to hear of a woman doing work for

land, where the change, quite char
acteristically has been slower in COM

little excitement over the fact that
the English house of commons adopt
ed a resolution the other day which
provided that after transitional per-
Tod of three years women shall be adj

Kingdom under the same conditions
and regulations as govern men.
In England, back in 1854, the
whole thing started" 1t was in Lon

the woman who undertook to take
mans job in this position was re-
ferred to as "brave."
Today the keen intellect of a wo-
man is recognized openly, as it has
been long recognized Informally.
Long before the women were given
the vote in this country, some of the
most intelligent of professional and
business men left much of the i'm
portant details of their work to
women. 1t was a common saying
Of many a man of affairs, when ques-
toned concerning a certain matter
ASK Miss Blank about that: she, my
secretary, knows more about 1t than
I do" Now practically equal rights
have been given women.
Thus it is interesting to note that
in period of less than seventy years
the general opinion Of the ability OF
women to do the work OF men mas
changed from that of surprised Won
der at the courage of one who was
considered able to take a mans place
in waiting on table, to a calm recog-
milton, by such a body as the English
house of commons, that she is able
to take the place of d man in posi-
tons of every sort which would come

PROTESTING FARE INCREASE

L
Editor Herald:
see where on September l the rail-
road is to increase the fare to Hart
ford from fourteen cents to twenty
cents on the dinky. ....
Now hundreds of people from New
Britain work in Hartford either in
the insurance offices, stores of factor
les and 1 as we'll as all others who
work in Hartford wish to protest
against this increase.
Now why is this increase necessary
when on July 1 all railroad employees
We're cut down? Steel is 80 per cent
lower and then the rate goes up
would like to ask Mr.. Editor
whether there was a hearing on this
Increase before the Public Utilities
Commission, if SO, why. was the Public
not notified or are we supposed to take
anything we get until the camel's back
breaks?
also see that milk is going up to
8 cents a quart which a few years
ago sold at cents a quart Now COWS
eat grass the same as they did a few
years ago, the only thing they eat
at this time of the year.
Where does this 800 per cent in
crease come in? The farmers only in
creased milk IL cent a quart then the
city milk peddler who is trying to get
rich quick raises it cents and then
goes out riding in his big high power
ed car, and trys to tell everyone it is
| the farmer. The only thing that seems
to be going down is wages. Then the
question comes up, how is a man go
ing to make ends meet with wages 60
ing down and the cost of living up
The cry has been that wages was
the principal cause Of the high cost
| of living, but now all wages in the
factories are down 80 to SO per cent
but the high cost of living is going
higher.
How is it that the Mayor elected
to look after the peoples interest
doesn't look int this railroad increase
to Hartford -
In closing, I hope that the poor
babies don't have to drink water in
order that the milk peddlers can buy
new automo biles.
