Man is the natural law maker and
woman is the natural law ignorer, says
W. L. George, English feminist, famous
as 1.-THE man who knows all about
women"
His theory is that women hate re-

George is on the wrong track. His
theory doesn't hold.
Women are the natural makers Of

.FLATLY REFUSES
PENSION FOR LIFE

MANILA, P. Il Suppose you had
been an official of the government
and, after resigning and retiring
from public life, that government
should wish to show its appreciation
of your services by giving YOU very
substantial life pension? Would you
accept it?
Victorino Mapa, former Filipino
chief justice of the supreme court of
the Philippine islands and still be-
fore that secretary of justice and
member of the council of state, has
just refused such life pension, set
ting a record for true patriotism.
The Philippine legislature was on
the eve of passing bill granting the
former chief justice a life pension
when former Justice Mapa, who has
retired to his home province, hap
pened to hear of it.
Immediately the former chief JUS
tice wrote the hackers of the move
ment that certainly there is moth
ing more honorable to me than the
moral significance of the proposed
pension, which undoubtedly consti-
tutes high distinction of inesti-
mable value to the beneficiary. How
ever, permit me to beg you to with
draw or give up the bill in question,
not only because | do not consider
myself worthy of such distinction but
because the serves rendered by me
as a public functionary have already
been duly rewarded with the salaries
have received from the govern
| ment,"1

CALIFORNIA
PROSPEROUS,
TEN HOUR DAY
PAY "a CENTS PER HOUR; WORK
SHOES WORTH ONLY $1,000
A PAIR; MEAT 40 CENTS
PER POUND

To give some idea as to the ex-
tremes that the lumber lords of nor
thern California have gone in their
mad desire to coin the glood of the
workers into profits. it will not be
amiss at this time to tell of some of
the miserable and shameful condi-
tions that exist in the industrial hell
holes of that part Of the state.
McCloud, California, is a "com-
pany town." the company owns the
land for miles around the town. The
town marshal is evidently a company
tool; whenever he sees a man out of
work he vigorously taps him with his
club and tells him to get on the job
or get out of town. This company
also has a large number of stool
pigeons and thugs whose duty it is
to intimidate, slug and brow-beat the
RESIDENTS of the unlucky place. Men
who do not 'look good" to the pow
ers that be soon feel the heavy hand
of the lumber lord.
Work shoes of a very ordinary
grade are $22 per pair in this hell
hole; meat of the poorest kind is 40
cents per pound; canned goods cost
from 40 cents per can and up; other
at exorbitant prices. In order to
meet these costs the company now
proposes to pay common labor the
munificent sum of "a cents per hour,
or S2.40 per day for the 10-hour day;
skilled labor fares but little better.
its rate is 35 cents per hour. This
is all to the credit of the un-Amer-
| lean American Plan"
Weed, California. is but little bet
ter, if any. When the strike started
men were dragged from their beds in
! the middle of the night and driven
out of town. Hundreds have been
ordered to vacate the company
houses inside of 80 days, rent having
been deducted from their pay to
cover that period of time. Many of
the men showed checks that were
short as high as $45. Men who have
worked in this hell-hole for from II
to Is years haven't a penny to show
| for their work. Italian workers who
have built houses on company land
have been told by the company to
take your damn shack on your back
and beat it."

clares that the mill will run 10 hours

doubt includes in his declaration that
Southern wages will also be paid. In
the South they are paying white
workers as low as $125 per day for
10 and some times more hours per
day; colored workers are paid as low
as 70 cents per day for the same
number of hours.
