they believe she is not practical

home-makers seem tired Of their
Jobs than women in any other pro-
fession if the returns from a ques-
tionnaire mothered by the National
Women's party count for anything.
Home-the haven of rest for the
world-wearied male, according to
the poets-is seat of unrest for
the female of the species if these
replies prove anything. The poets
rave about the happy fireside and
the women rave most particularly
about the modern husbands who
take charge of the family pocket
book giving their wives little or no
cash to spend.
Slavery-that Is the keynote of
most of the home-makers' answers.
Idealists may rave about domestic
bliss, but all of the comforts of
home in which the male INDUCES
are created at the expense of do
mesticated slaves, a lot of wives
would have the world understand.
Men Discriminate.
It isn't only in the home that
determinations against women
have been found by the National
Woman's Party but in most Of the
professions. The QUESTIONABLE was

journalists, lawyers, librarians

TAKE4MEN AT
AURORA, ILL.
Charge Is Violating
Injunction Against
Picketing.

Aurora, ILL.,, July 19.-Four strik-
ing shop men we're arrested here
by two United States deputy mar
shals last night and lodged in the
city Jail on a charge of violating an
Injunction issued by Federal Judge
Carpenter forbidding illegal picket
ing or intimidation of Burlington
railroad shop employees. Today the
four who were arrested, Joseph
Lawrence, Albert Sherman, Theo-
dore Eisty and Valentine Oakwoci,
were taken to Chicago to be ar
raigned before Judge Carpenter.
According to the report of the
case made by the police, the men
who were arrested were walking in
a group near the corner of Lincoln
avenue and New York street, about
two blocks from the Burlington
railroad shops. They hailed two
men who proved to be the deputy
mahshals, asking Who are your
First Arrests Of Strike.
The deputy marshals' reply was,
who are your
"Pickets," the shopmen replied.
and their arrest followed.
The arrests were the first made
here since the strike began July l,
and has excited the shop men great
ly. Their leader, Ernest George,
had admonished pickets not to re-
sort to force or threats of any kind
and to keep moving and to refrain
from addressing men going to or
from work.
The men who were arrested told
George that they had mistaken the
deputy marshals for acquaintances.
Charge KIDNAPPING, Too.
Railroad officials said that the
four men who were arrested had
participated in a kidnapping of five
employees Of the railroad, three of
them railroad guards. Three of the
kidnapped men were taken into the
! country in an automobile and told
to beat it." The other two were
taken to strike headquarters and
roughly handled and one prom
ised not to return to work but later
told o. H Abbott, special agent of
the railroad of the kidnapping and
threats and identified the men who
were arrested, according to the re-
port made by the railroad. All of
the five who were kidnapped have
since returned to work for the rail-
roads, it is stated.
Threats and obscene language
has been directed at men in the
shops continuously, the railroad of
ficials contend, in violation of the
injunction.
