The call continues:
 'The Mexican people have cause to rejoice and 1t IS most appropriate that the representatives of the organized la bor movement of the Western Hemi- sphere should convene in Mexico City for the fourth American Labor Congress at time when the working people of Mexico will rejoice over the inauguration as President of the Re public of a man of their choice, man in whom they have the utmost conf dence a man whose admiration prorni- ses so much for the future well-being of the Mexican people and their great country.
 "Therefore, the executive committee of the Pan-American Federation of La Dor most cordially and earnestly invites the organized workers of all the lArieri- can Republics to send their representa- tives to the fourth PanAmerican La bor Congress. The basis for represent tatives will he not more than five dele gates from each Republic"
 The call outlines "the paramount aim of the congress as one to "bring into a closer understanding the bona fde or ganized labor movements of the Wes- tern Hemisphere for it is only through such understanding and relationship that they can be placed in position of rendering the most service to the in terests of the workers and. the people of all the American Republics"

MARRIED WOMEN AS NOW
 3SP.C..OF THE WHOLE
Survey of Four Cities by Women's Bureau Reveals Menace to
 Family Life.

There is something radically wrong
 with the economic situation in the coun try when so many mothers with hus-
 band living in the family circle are un l labor"
 This is the conclusion arrived aF b1 the Women's Bureau, L. $. Department of Labor, after undertaking an exhaus- tive analysis into the status of bread winning women i'll America.
 Some of the facts barred by the in- vestigation are now made public for the first time.
 Four cities were selected by the Blu reau as a basis for the analysis. These were Jacksonville, Fla, Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Butte, Mont, and Passaic, N. J., and according to the Bureau, may be taken as more or less representative of the country as WhOle.'
 Out of the total female population in the four towns 58 per cent, were found to be wage workers. Wilkes-Barre came lowest with 30 per cent Jackson vile highest with 40 per cent.
 Fifty-hve per cent. or more then half of these breadwinning women, were or had been married; and of these married women 6l per cent were living with wage-earning husbands.
 "The facts revealed" says the Bu- ol,1 1o Cf on sons interested in the question of family support and care of children, and con- cerned in the welfare of the nation.
 AS conclusive evidence that mar riage does pot mean necessarily the ter imitation of the breadwinning activities of women-more than half of those in of women-olner than half of those in cluded in the study-who were, or had been married"
 Since 61 per cent. or approximately three-hfths, of the married women were living with husbands who were gain fully employed the figures can not mean that it IS merely the women who had broken martial ties that constituted the majority of those who were forced to earn their bread.
 Four-hfths of the gainfully employed were also maintaining a home; and nine-tenths of the married women who were living with wage-earning husbands were maintaining home Ill addition to working for living.
 The home and family life in such cases" comments the Bureau, lis being menaced from the point of view of health and happiness"
 Of the breadwinning married women 50 per cent had children, and twohfths of them had babies under years of age.
 The following are some of ''the sal tent truths of broad social significance revealed by the study" according to the Bureau:
 l. Marriage does not spell release for women from breadwinning activities, put frequently means greater economic 
 2. Better wages for men would ire luently mean the withdrawal from work of large number of wives.
 }. For the wife or mother to be also l breadwinner upsets all normal rela :ionships in the household. It is a bad state of affairs.
 4. These conclusions are applicable to practically every average community.
