WHY WOMEN WORK

One of every five women in the
United States is working to carr
money, or, as the census bureau
phrases it, is "gainfully employed.
And the woman's bureau, U. S. de-
partment of labor, which says that
the District of Columbia leads all the
states in the proportion of gainfully
employed women, has been trying to
find out just why so many women
work outside the home.
1t has found, the bureau states
that women work because they need
the money; they need it not onl7- to
sunport themselves, but for an even
more urgent service; helm in the sup
port of their families.
In it's Investigations Of why wom-
en- work the bureau often meets with
this reply: "You bet I've turned in
all my money to my family ever
since l was kid :. =. Now, that | am
married and my husband is working.
people ask why | get out and work
Well, they don't know financial con-
ditions. Our home is mortgaged and
if the children are going to stay in
school they just have to be dressed. y
The woman's bureau repeats that
while only about one-fifth of all
wage-earning women are married.
that fifth is working for the same
reason as the other four-fifths; they
need the money for themselves and
their families.

VAST POWER OF ORGANIZED
LABOR

(Int. Typographical Union Service)
The chief difference between or
ganized industry and organized labor
lies in the fact that organized indus
try places property rights above hu-
man rights. Industrial trusts have
grown out of the belief that large cor
porations cannot compete without
dissipation of power. That belief
may be we'll grounded in fact, but it
is a fallacy to assume that centraliza-
ton of vast power in the hands of
small groups is helpful to the well
fare Of the nation.
Organized labor understands that
perfect freedom of competition
among workers also means loss of
power, or rather that it means pow
erlessness for the individual. In a
strictly materialistic sense organized
industry and organized labor lie
parallel. Each seeks what it can get.
But the former also at ACQUISITION Of
power and luxury, far beyond any
human need, in the hands of the few,
while the latter has for its object the
rescue VI Illc llOlIl lliC NC1SC VI
hardship and actual starvation.
If the rich corporation finds it ad-
vantageouS in a materialistic sense
to amalgamate with its competitors,
how much greater is the need for in
dividual workers to do the same.
The individual workman cannot
bargain with an employer. He can
only accept the job offered at the
wage offered, or go without work
and starve. He is untitled for bar
gaining because he has no means of
knowing how badly his services are
needed and because the nature of his
training and experience offers no
equipment for bargaining, which is
the natural gift of the successful
business man against whom he is
pitted. Again the workers need Of
employment is nearly always more
vital than the employers need of
help. A short handed factory may
mean worry and inconvenience for
the employer, but a foodless cup
board means something far more
grim to the worker. The employers
chances in the struggle are some
thing like a million to one against
the bargaining individual.
In organized labor the organized
employer finds a foesman we'll
worthy of his steel. The sensible en-
ployer accepts the situation philoso-
phically as a natural development.
He does not expect the privilege of
riding to vast wealth and power on
the backs of docile workers over a
smooth road. He understands that
human nature will enevitably raise
obstacles in his path when he seeks
gain at the expense of his own allies.
Collective bargaining is natural,
honorable and inevitable in modern
industry.

"SHORT-CHANGING" THE NEWS
PAPER READER

The daily newspapers-ninety per
cent of them-are cheating their
readers. They are refusing to print
important news.
Not a line about the shopmen's
strike. The railroads do not want
anything said about that embarrass-
ing affair because the people might
discover why the nations transpor-
tation system refuses to function.
Practically nothing about the ap-
palling condition of agriculture in the
mid-western states, where, according
to resolutions adopted by conven-
ton of farmers recently held in
Billings, Mont, 100 banks have failed
in the last As days.
If the proceedings of the Billings
gathering had been given the prom
inence they deserved public senti-
ment might have been created which
would have compelled even a 'lame
duck" Congress to act.
Not a paragraph about the situa-
ton along the line Of the M. & n. A.
in Arkansas, where mobs, armed and
paid by the railroad companies, con-

cry right guaranteed by the Consti
tuition and laws of the land.
No adequate story of the fearful
suffering in northern states on ac-
count of lack of coal-a condition di
rectly traceable to defective equip
ment and the greed of certain coal
mine owners.
Not line about the scores of rail
road workers who have been killed
and seriously injured because of the
governments refusal to enforce the
locomotive inspection laws.
The people buy newspapers to find
out what is going on in the world.
The newspaper owner who refuses or
neglects to give his readers the avail
able news concerning outstanding
events is as dishonest as the grocer
who short-changes his customers

B. & 0. Railroad
Buys rs Engines

Baltimore-The Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad Company has just closed
contracts for Is additional locomo-
tives, which it is expected will be de-
livered next fall. They will cost ap-
proximately $4,000 each. Order for
25 of them was placed with the Lima
Locomotive Works at Lima, Ohio, and
SO with the Baldwin Locomotive
Works at Eddystone, Del. The plants
of both of these companies are To-
Gated on the lines of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad.
While these locomotives, which are
known as the "Santa Fe" type, are
of particularly heavy construction,
the trucks before and after the driv-
ers help to distribute the dead weight
and Notwithstanding the greater trac-
tive power through the medium of
ten unusually large driving wheels,
the engines are able to make rapid
progress with heavy load.

WHAT TO EAT AND HOW

/. Do not eat starches and pro-
teins together.
2. Do not eat two decidedly starch
foods at the same meal or two de-
cidedly protein foods at the same
meal.
8. Eat starch once day and pro-
tein once a day. This is for the aver
age worker in office or factory.
4. Thoroughly masticate your
food. Remember that digestion and
assimilation is liquefying process
first of all. Chew food until it is
thoroughly liquefied.
5. Do not eat when mentally dis
turbed, worried or feeling bad.
6. Do not eat when tired. Lie
down and relax for 10 to 20 minutes
before and after eating if possible.
7. Take two glasses of water i'm
mediately before and one glass imme-
diately after each meal. Do not
drink again for from four to four and
half hours after eating.
8. Never eat between meals.
9. In hot weather meat should be
eaten not oftener than three or four
times a week.
10. Replace meat with nuts. They
contain the same protein as meat and
are more wholesome as a food.
II. "Let not your angry passions
rise" If you lose your temper or ex-
perience any great emotion you gen.
crate acid and cause enervation.
IL. If you wish to make rapid
progress toward health do not break
any of the rules.
13. If you break rules do not COM
plain if your improvement is slow.
Do not blame others for the mistakes
you bring on yourself.
Ia. Remember that the most per-
feet diet, the food or foods that are
most suitable for your case, will fail
to bring complete return to health if
these instructions are violated in any
particular.

FATE OF THE UNORGANIZED

The man who has no voice in the
sale price of his services is worse off
than slave, for the latter is prop
erty and his owner will take meas
ures to insure his health and we'll
being and must care for him in his
old age. The unorganized worker
must take what his employer will
give in the years of his usefulness
and that never has been sufficient to
permit saving against old age or dis
ability. Collective bargaining is
natural, honorable and inevitable ir
modern industry.

1T MUST BE

We must have rain. We must have
sunshine. We have sorrows and we
have joys. We have our ups and we
have our downs. We have the radicals
and also the non-radicals. We know
that it takes them all to keep the
earth in operation, but when we have
too much rain, sunshine or any Of
these other things we all know that
it is not good for our systems.
But what are We to do when the
overdose Of anything comes Surely
we can't stop any of them. We must
use our judgment as to these condi-
tions. Well, so it goes with every day
Of our lives. We can regulate our
habits. We alone. There are many
different things in the annals of our
life which we can not control but such
things as overeating, overdrinking or
overriding anything is bad for our
systems.
We must learn to regulate our de-
sires. We must learn to live within
our income. We must not have this
or the other things unless we can af-
ford them. We can't sport a Packard
with a Ford income, neither can we
sport that same Ford unless our in
come will allow it. This is one Of the
big mistakes which many people
make. Their neighbor has an auto,
consequently they must have a car.
They must, no matter how they get it
or how they get the wherewith to
operate the same.
Some people skimp on their meals
or perhaps neglect their families or
their homes to sustain this same auto.
Others will go and do some dishonest
deed to gain that auto. They think
because that ~neighbor has one they
must have it also, regardless of
everything. We think that affairs
like these are some of the real causes
of unrest. Surely we believe that
everybody is entitled to the joys of
this earth. Why retard the pleasure
of any one. Get an auto or buy your
own home, both go to make life a
little more pleasant. But you are the
Judge of your income. You are the
one that knows whether you can
afford it or not. This is where you
show your business ethics. You
should know how far you dare go
with your income. Don't try to live
on champagne with a beer income;
then perhaps you will keep yourself
out of trouble. You will be minus a
headache or worries. Try to increase
your income. Increase it by using
iudiciousness and common sense.
Then make it work according to it's
size with this same business ethics
and you soon learn the cause of your
neighbor's good living and realize
that you can do the same.

INDUSTRIAL FIGHT is WITH
THE IDLER

DR.. Charles P. Steinmetz the cleo
trical wizard, has no delusions on the
question Of government operation OF
industries. apparently everything
favors public operation, ne says
low interest charges, no dividends TO
pay, no legislation to fear and yet
government, state and municipal
operation is a failure. Successful
government operation Of industries,
railroads or public utilities is in
herently impossible under a demo-
cratic form of government"
There is. DR.. Steinmetz holds, no
fundamental difference between the
ideals of the best form of socialism
and those of enlightened capitalism
"The real fight" he says, sis not be
tween employees and employers, but
rather between those who want TO
produce and those who want to get
something for nothing, or at least to
give in return for living as little as
they can get away with"
Those who want to get something
for nothing" are found not only IN
the ranks of labor, but in the ranks
of capitalism. Too many trade
unions cling to the policy of limiting
production in order to keep up wages,
and too many industries limit produc-
tion in order to keep up prices. one
result of this is the manner in which
wages and prices chase each other
around the stump without ever great
lv changing their relative positions.
If labor and capital would CO.
operate for the purpose of producing
all the wealth they are capable OF 81
producing, there would be so much
wealth to go around that the strug-
giles of periodic strikes and walkouts
could be easily avoided by proper or
ganization.
DIR. Steinmetz is of the opinion that
so-called working classes are begin
ming to see the evil of limiting out
put. If that be so, they are on the
way to securing for themselves a
great deal more of the worlds good
things than they now enjoy, because
the cost of producing them will not
remain at such figures as now make
their possession impossible for all but
the well-to-do.

ICED by Prominent Leaders, With
Definite Purpose.

Formation of an investment banking
concern by group of officials Of in
ternational labor organizations in or
der "to mobilize labors financial and
credit power" has been announced at
Harrisburg, Pa, by Guy ii. Oyster,
former secretary to Samuel Gompers,
president Of the American Federation
of Labor.
The organizers, Mr.. Oyster said, in
clude Matthew Woll, vice president Of
the American Federation of Labor;
Daniel j. Tobin, treasurer Of the
American Federation; Frank Earring

Oyster said, as H. w. Morgan & Co.,
Inc, and It's purpose, as set forth by
him, is mobilization OF the financial and
credit power Of labor, not only to pro-
tect the rights, interest and welfare
of the workers themselves but to elm
mate waste in industry and certain
unsound practices and special privi-
leges in the field Of finance and credit
that levy tolls in the form Of income
from production to which they do not
contribute.
The major causes Of waste in this
country, he asserted, were antago-
nism to labor and insufficient knowl-
edge and use of science in the man
agement Of industry. He said the
new concern was organized to under
write, after thorough investigation,
only those enterprises which are
sound from a bankers viewpoint and
in which labor can buy control."-ln-

CAUSES OF WAR

The British oil interests, repre-
sented by the Shell and Royal Dutch
Groups, are in fierce competition with
the American oil interests, repre-,
sented by the Standard Oil Company
In the last Greek-Turk war the
British backed Greece, and the
French, acting with the Standard Oi
Company, backed the Turks. The
spoils of the war were the near East
oil wells.
This is only one aspect of the new
economic struggle that is developing
among the great empires over the OF
supply. In the struggle the British
Empire and the American Empire
must be the leading competitors. The
economic competition will soon give
place to diplomatic struggle and Will
end in another war.
Wars are planned a long while
ahead by the economic interests
Then, when the time is ripe, the
emotions of the people are stirred by
some incident like the sinking of the
Lusitania, and press and pulpit are
inspired to proclaim righteous wal
and urge the sacrifice of men and
money to make the world safe fo1
anything that will arouse the feelings
of the people.
Old, rich, and crafty men plan and
play the game Of war as men play
chess, and they grow richer and
craftier, and the world shouts and
suffers at their bidding.

SENTINELS ON GUARD

"The labor papers are sentinels
on guard throughout the country fol
the cause of mankind" the executive
council of the American Federation
of Labor tells the convention in its
annual report. "They are extremely
valuable advocates and defenders OF
the cause of the wage earners. Then
struggle for existence is frequently 6
difficult one.
"The labor movement owes to the
labor papers a great debt of gratitude
for giving force to labor's cause wher
often their avenues Of publicity are
closed. Every possible support shoulc
be given to the bona fde labor press
in order that it may be STRENGTHENED
for the still greater work that lies
ahead

WHEN THE PEOPLE RULE

"When the people are intelligent
they will rule. Victor Hugo.
While we do not wish to belittle
the intelligence of our rulers, we can
not help noticing that it is not the
most intelligent men that rule the
world. If the most intelligent ruled
the world, the history of human So
ciety would not be an almost endless
chain of follies and outrages, wars
and other gigantic crimes. If the
wisest directed the public affairs, the
most useful people would be the best
paid and the parasites compelled to
live upon the natural products of
their laziness; we would not condemn
millions of workers to unemployment
while armies of men, women and chill
dren are denied the means of truly
civilized life; we would not prepare
for blood-shed in order to establish
and preserve peace.
