WHAT WOMEN WILL DO

Erters approach the subject as if the women were
'ttle-known, semi-civilized imperfectly developed

\ Of man.

PREPARING 10 FIGHT

That organized labor is preparing for last
nd against the open shop and the reduction OF
&ges is evident from recent movements, particu-
&ly those of the international council of labor in
sion at Washington. One of their immediate
hands is for statute forbidding employers to
IKE labor contracts with individual employees,
] authorizing the unions to organize all fields
. industry Such law is necessary. from their
Int of view, because. under recent supreme court
risions the closed shop has no standing in law.

prevalence of unemployment-als make it

Women are today better educated, on an aver
age, than men. They have higher moral standards.
They are. perhaps, more industrious, because, in

thrifty Statistics will show fewer business fail

women than men.
