Miss Agnes NeSter. president of the
Chicago Women's Trade Union Lea que.
spoke Of the necessity for democracy
in industry. ITO have real democracy
in industry" she said, there must be
a balance Of power between the one
side management representing the en-
ployer. and the other side, the workers
in industry. Unless there is strength
on the workers side as represented
through an organized group of work
ers in a trade union. YOU cannot have
this balance that is going to assure
equity in this Government set up in
industry.
A practical application of an indus
trial philosophy was described by Miss
Frances Perkins, member of the New
York State Industrial Board. who told
Of how a woman in New York. who
owned and ran clothing factory, had
reduced the working week to five days
for her staff, without decreasing pro
duction. She emphasized the fact that
many employers of labor have been
convinced by their experiments that
reduction Of hours does not necessarily
mean a decrease of production.
Another experiment in industrial re-
lations was described by Henry Ken
dali. a cotton mill owner. who told Of
his mill villages. where conditions of
the workers and residents had been
remarkably improved by the inaugu-
ration of a system of self govern
ment" in the villages, so that the
villages are TO a large extent self

Citizenship Rights.
A discussion of the rights Of work
ers to citizenship. education and
recreation made up the program for
this morning. which was presided over
by Miss Belle Sherwin, president OF
the National League'of Women Voters.
Citizenship means little unless the
working men and women have
stake in their country" declared Miss
Rose Schneiderman, representing the
Cloth. Hat Cap and Millinery Work
talk on citizenship.
Citizenship should mean the right
to be born we'll the right to q care
free and happy childhood, the right TO
education. the right to mental. physl-
cal and spiritual growth and develop
ment Then the right to citizenship
will create the desire for participation
in government. which our democracy
needs. and which il can have only
when citizenship is an esteemed prlvl-
lege as we'll as an inborn right to all. =
she said.
"The wife of the workingman has
the burdens upon her of keeping house
and attending to wifely and motherly
duties. and is so often taken up with
these and the necessity for making
ends meet that she simply has no time
to give thought to questions OF state.
This is not meant to be a slur on the
workingman, who does the best he
can.
Sometimes the struggle for bread
is so hard and 50 devastating TO body
and mind that voting appears to be
an added burden. It seems to me that
economic conditions are> largely re-
sponsible for the laXity in citizenship.
and unless we improve these economic
conditions intelligent citizenship will
suffer
