WAGE REDUCTION
ON ALASKA R. R.
UNDER PROTEST
Cut of 10 Per Cent in Wages
Not Favorable to Men

A cut of approximately 10 per cent
in salaries and wages for the entire
personnel of the Alaska Engineering
Commission was put into effect
April /. The official circular an
nouncing the cut said:
This will affect skilled and I'M
skilled labor, including train operat-
ing crews and personnel. Also near
ly all of the clerical staff; also fore
men, general foremen, timekeepers,
storekeepersY cooks, warehousemen,

The reduction was the result of a
conference at Washington between
Commissioner Frederick Mears and
Secretary of the Interior Albert B.
Fall and others.
The wages of those employed in
the coal mines have not been re-
duced yet, though the matter was
under consideration by the Secretary

committee appointed by President
Wilson in the spring of 1916, after a
thorough investigation of cost of liv-

The war brought me to the
realization that unless women.
mothers especially. sought di-
rect representation by their own
sex in the high councils OF
government, the staying Of sons
in battle would continue.
A woman's viewpoint on life
is less strenuous than a mans
and therefore l have great ex-
pectations that through myself
and other possible women sem
ators, we may unite in fem
mime bloc forever TO make war
an impossibility.
How can this be done? II is to
find out that 1 am going TO
Washington.
Women give life to the world.
Therefore, It is only just they
be given opportunity TO make
or reject those conditions
which have TO do with the TAX
ing OF life.
We mothers are sickened unto
death OF bringing children into
the world to feed the maws OF
cannon.
We demand that war cease.
Women want n place at the

We ask the chance.
