pernicious legislation. We would cease to have majority rule.
 In order to obtai nparty soli- darity the leaders of both of our political parties have tried to bind legislative representative to measures by a caucus. At the present time the privileged interests have control of the leaders of both parties and con sequently, if independents bind themselves in this way, Big Business can get through Con- gress or a State Legislature any measure that 1t desires. It IS soviet idea applied to republican form of Government and Wall Street owns the soviet.
 Uurge your representatives in both state and national legisla- tive branches-not to be bound by caucuses and you will break up the greatest weapon in the hands of the "Capital-consci- ous" interests of this country. Also urge them to hold "cau- cuses" open to the newspaper men and the public and you will strike knockout blow at "in- visible" government

By International Labor News Service
 London, Nov. 2.-English industry has found that a short work week for wo- men is more effective than longer week and without resorting to legislation the hours of work for women have been gen orally reduced to a total not exceeding AS a week.
 This is disclosed in the annual report of the chief inspector of factories and workshops of England, which stresses the change which has taken place in hours of employment in the last ten years. Before the war 60-hour week and 10 or 10 1-2hour day were GUS tomary and in some industries these hourse were extended by 30 to 60 nights overtime during the year.
 Violations of the factory act were common and it was a frequent occur renee for illgeal overtime to be worked Work was taken home by employees to be done after hours and statutory meal times were curtailed, the report says.
 During the war, previous legislation as to hours was largely a dead letter with the result that there was at first an. effort to establish long hours and night and Sunday work without regard to the rest periods that had. formerly been considered necessary. ..e
 This soon proved to be unecononic, as regards production and an investiga- tion was made to find out what hours were most effective and how these could be effectually arranged. ..
 Experiments were tried as to differ ent schedules of hours and the value of rest periods at different times of day and for different periods. These experi- ments, the report says, have resulted i a general reduction of hours of work
 The reports from inspectors show that
