CALLED "BABBLING BROOKE"
Lady Warwick will go to the
Lords as the heiress OF the last
Viscount Maynard. As Miss
Frances Evelyn Maynard she was
married to Lord Brooke when she
had an income OF $l50,000 a year.
She was one OF the brilliant wom-
en- who were gathered around him
by the late King Edward VII,
both when he was King and
Prince of Wales. She was blamed
for the exposure Of the baccarat
scandal at Tranby Croft when
young English army officer mar
ried to an American girl was ac-
cused Of cheating in the card
game. A London newspaper then
christened her "Babbling Brooke"
q name that stuck to her for years
and Ia not entirely forgotten
now.
While Lady Rhondda is not an
advanced thinker like Larry War
wick and loathes socialism, she
takes a very active interest in
movements for the improvement
of the condition Of women and
children. She is a leader of what
is known as the six Point
Group" an organization dedicated
to the passage of laws to improve
the conditions Of working women
and their children. She has an
extraordinary capacity for bust
ness, holding directorships in
twenty-seven corporations, which
she inherited from her father.
She has been given the title Of
"The Coal Queen" Of Britain, be-
cause of the immensely wealthy
coal fields she owns and which
she personally supervises. In the
suffrage movement she was ono
Of the militants under the leader
ship of Mrs. Pankhurst.
LADY RHONDDA'S REFORMS.
It is not improbable that when
Lady Rhondda takes her seat her
first effort at legislation will be
directed to the reform measures
she has largely made her own, and
from which British women and
children will reap the benefits,

character Of that new membership
is what vastly disturbs the sooth-
sayers and OWNERS Of British poll
tics. And 1t will not be known
definitely what effect these peer
esses will have on policies of ma
tional and mayhap international
scope until they have settled them
selves we'll into tho ways of their
confreres.
Probably OF tho twenty-four
peeresses entitled to seats or to
vote for representatives none Of
them will be less acceptable to
the staid conservatism Of the
Lords than Frances. Countess Of
Warwick. She is one Of the pic
turesque figures in social and po-
litical Britain. An avowed men,
Der of the Socialist Party. she
has in many ways made good her
claim to leadership in the coun-
ellis of that organization. She
once staggered British conserva-
tism and the middle classes who
cling dearly to traditions Of the
nobility by laundering from the
hustings that "the aristocracy OF
England in it's position of heredi-
tary landowners must go.
MADE LANDOWNERS PAY TAX.
That was in the period when
Lloyd George was pushing
through his legislation to compel
the Handwriting aristocracy to bear
their just share Of the general
taxation. something they were
able to avoid through political
machination and the power Of the
lords to veto that sort of legis-
lation.
The farmers. business interests
and middle classes. prior to that
time, had paid an overwhelming
proportion Of the taxes. Lady
Warwick ably seconded Lloyd
George in his campaign and tho
landowners had to shoulder their
portion Of the taxes.
Sales of many properties in re-
cent years are credited to this
legislation, the owners claiming
their inability to maintain them
and pay the taxes against them
at the same time.
Lady Warwick is no novice to
the vicissitudes and anxities OF
public life. She is a poor law
guardian and attends regularly to
the duties of that office. She
champions organized labor. Not
so very long ago she gave her
active counsel to striking rail
road men. And when asked to
meet some OF the men who re
fused to strike she promptly and
vitriolically told them they were
"black legs" and wouldn't SCI
them.

the threatened resignation Of
Premier Lloyd George has been
the sensation Of the hour, 1t is
not very far ahead Of the sem
sation born of the ruling to
admit peeresses in their own

asked in the haunts Of the po-

tions are:
What of tho leaven that tho

Lady Rhondda, especially directed
to the betterment Of conditions for
English women and children,
startle the lords out Of their heavy

It can be said. too. that the

phet in her own country. A few
years ago when talk was rife OF
another marriage of one OF the

a European house, Countess War

she said 30 in a manner so plain
that 1t was said the china IN

that swept through the palace.
She exclaimed that the time was

spoke!
Already serious royalists have
recorded their belief that for the

LABOR TO URGE
CENTRAL LEAGUE


lTri-city labor unionists are help
iue to institute movement In the
state federation looking toward
closer amalgamation OF the various
trades in each industry. In the
Tri-City Federation Of Labor meet
ink last night, in the Rock Island
Industrial home, Ben Jacobsen and
|P ]. Carlson, who will attend the
state federation convention In
Rockford, Oct, is, Is delegates,
were instructed to further this
work.
The amalgamation plan Is not
the same as or even similar to the
zone big union" movement which
proposes q nationwide organiza-
ton OF laboring men. 1t is being
applied locally, however, in the tri-
cities and elsewhere. The plan
comprises organizing the several
unions in one particular manufac-
turing process into separate "coun-
ellis" or leagues" t
In the tri-cities there is then al
lied printing trades council" the
building trades council" and like
organization within the federation.
The separate local unions are main
tanned and do not lose their iden-
tity. But in the matter OF negoti-
ating with employers the prestige
OF several Unions can be brought
to bear instead Of that Of only one,
if the council SO decides.
It is desired by the local fedora
ton and others in the STATE to make
this amalgamation plan statewide
and in the future nationwide, and
the delegates will give every effort
to this pt the convention.
Along with this work the, dele
gates were instructed to urge upon
