Organization of Women
Workers Demands Best
Efforts of Trade UniOnis1

The recent women's industrial con-
ference called by the women's bureau
of the department of labor brought to-
gether diverse groups Of people in
terested in various phases of problems
of women's employment in industry.
The discussion disclosed pretty def
initely that the problems of women in
industry are very much akin to those
of men, but that women have not made
the same degree of progress in deal
ing with these problems.
The two methods that have been us
ed to bring better working conditions
for women are protective legislation
and economic organization. Owing to
recent court decisions declaring mini
mum wage laws unconstitutional, wo-
men will be compelled to depend more
and more upon economic action.
Women wage earners are not so
we'll organized as the men. There are
a number of conditions that contribut-
ed to this slowness in organizing wo-
men, but perhaps the most important
was the current belief that women
were in indstry only temporarily. But
with the accumulation of statistical
studies, it is evident beyond contro-
version that the number of women
employed in industry is steadily
tegral part of Northumberland
growing and that women are an in
tegral part of the working force, not
substitutes or temporary employees.
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1926-04-02

Nor may women be said to be work
ing merely to get additional spending
money. The majority are bona fide
bread winners supporting themselves,
contributing to the family income or
maintaining dependents. The studies
of the women's bureau of the United
States department of labor shows that
SO percent of all females over IA
years of age are gainfully employed.
In 1920 they constituted one-fifth of
the total employed population.
OF the women employed 1920
al percent were under 10 years; 16.5
percent between 16 and 10 years;
PIP percent between 20 and "a years;
400 percent between % and Al years;
1871 percent 45 years and over.
The figures showing the distribu-
ton of women workers by industries
for 1910 and 1920 are: Manufacturing,

ELMER WOLFE IN RACE FOR
SHERIFF..


According 10 the latest inside in
formation, they are staging a sort Of
bat.le-Ioyal contest for the position
Of Sheriff, down in Champaign Coun-
u. Illinois. 4 number of good men
are out for the Job, 50 that law and
order Is not Likely to suffer a serious
setback when the good citizens select
a successor to the ever-popular John
Gray, present incumbent.
Among those who have already
tossed their lbs in the political ring
Is Elmer Wolfe, the well-known identi-
feation expert.
Strictly from the viewpoint Of
merit Wolfe appears to have some
very special advantages and claims
to distinction that should not be over
loked. He has had ample experience
as chief deputy during the past sew
eral years to get the run of the office
and continue the good work done by
MS predecessor. Wolfe is shrewd,
alert, conscientious and courageous in
the discharge of his duties.
But above all, he is worthy Of
great consideration because of his
Outstanding dCIOiil pilSiiiltntS III t0baD
fishing the first criminal bureau Of
identification ever conducted by a
sherif's office in the state Of Illinois.
And the numerous confessions and
convictions secured solely through this
bureau have unquestionably added
considerably to the efficiency of the
sherif's office.
ELMER Wolfe has been often hon
ored by law enforcement officers be-
yond the borders of his home county
and at present holds the position of
First Vice President of The Illinois
State Association For Identification.
Elmer Wolfe is an honor and credit
to Champaign County and it is diff
cult to see how the good people there
could make any mistake in elevating
him to the office of Sheriff."
He was reared and schooled in
Champaign and Urbana, and he has
been a faithful fighter in the ranks
of organized labor, being a member
at one time of the Augumated Street
& Electric Railway Employees of
America, No. 373 of Chicago, which
later organized with Calumet No. 266
and is known now as Local No. 24l.

Norris Declines to
Assist Muscle
Shoals Grabbers

Washington, Mar. 81. - Senator
Norris refused to serve as a member
of the congressional commission that
will lease Muscle Shoals for 80 wears.
The commission must report to con-
gress. on or before April 26. Senator
Norris led the opposition to private
leasing, which he declared was a
crime against the people.
In the. house, the joint resolution
was declared by Congressman La
Guardia to be "the last step in a care
fully prepared program"
There Is not a man in the whole
world, there is not a commission, that
can study proposition of this magn:-

he said. mo bona fide offer could
originate and be made within that
time. 1t is difficult to resist the con-
elusion that the lease, some where. bv
some one, some how, is already writ

ANY offer made by the govern
ment for this property will be for the
benefit of the corporation and not
for the benefit of the government or
the people. 1t is humanely impossible
to obtain terms from any corporation

Too Much PrOsperity?

"rhe United States" declares Mary Kingsbury
Simkhovitch of Greenwich House, New York city,
lis suffering from too much prosperity" That,
she believes, is the principal thing that is wrong
with this country.
Well, the United States is prosperous. 1t has the
greatest educational system in the world. Its pco
pie, individually, have more money than those Of
amy other nation. There more luxuries here.
The United States had billions of its dollars to
throw into Europe during great crisis. Yet, says
the prominent settlement worker, the United States
lis suffering from too much of what admittedly is a
good thing.
8 But isn't Mary Smkhovitchs indictment the prod
-uct Of her observation in the sums-a protest
from sympathetic heart that has given itself to
the bettcrment Of deplorabe conditions there? She
sees her people burned to death in rickcty old tene
.ments, their minds touched by the blazing heat OF
the streets, their children killed by rich mems motor
cars. She sees, amid the indescribablc poverty OF
her people, the lavish luxury Of the night clubs
-She watches her people turn to crime in protes.
against these things.
And so she says, "Too much prosperity" But the
answer is not super abundance Of WEALTH. i
the : X Of ability to- manage it.

Il fresh young miss from the wild and wooy him
terlands of Connecticut came to New York the other
day preparing TO be shocked. She had heard that
in Greenwich Village almost anything goes and she
wanted to sec what anything" was.
But it turned out that she was the shock herself.
and an oId-fashioncd policeman was the one to be
Jolted For. what do you suppose Miss Conncct-
cut was doing she came for an evening stroll
down into Washington Square? She was carrying
lighted cigare that's what she was, and she didn't
try to make any secret Of it either as she crossed
the magsterial pathway of Patroman Olsen.
Say. you, drop that cigaret was the voice that
doomed out Of the darkness
Miss Connecticut didn't drop. cop only u
cop after all, and how come? She asked what ordi-
nance, please, she breaking. She asked fur
ther if it was criminal for young lady to inhalc a
fag or two in this burg.
1t wasn't nice, was Patrolman Olsens best come
back The young lady dcmurred What wasn't
nice about it? The policeman began to gesture
with his nightstick. The talk flew faster Finally
he, the majesty Of the law found himself out-talkcd
in every sector.
Loud and boistcrous language was his final
verdict, he arrested Miss Connecticut and her
New York friend.

trolt is making ready to erect 8l-story building,

For years one of the most distinguishing land
marks in all America has been the Woolworth build

on the advertising value thereof but now it must be
prepared TO take back seat
The only thing that is permanent is change. The
