Workingclass Women.
In spite of the fact that one mill
after another is closing down the New
England mill owners are asking for a
repeal of the special measures limit
ing the hours of work for women and
children. (News item.) The reason
given for this is that production costs
must go down in order to meet COM
petition. The mill owners therefore
reduced the wages Of their workers
by several 1919 cuts. Since all the
mill owners have done the same thing
they are now looking for another
remedy. Low wages and long hours
are quite a happy combination for
mill owners. Since wages were al
ready very low they had only one

BY CARRIE LYONS.

When the idea Of women voting and
participating in politics was still
shocking many people the argument
that women would act as a purifying
force was very popular. Who even
dares recall this argument now, in
view Of the disgraceful careers of Ma
Ferguson and Mrs. Knapp?
Another bourgeois illusion thrown
overheard.
Bourgeois Women.
Now the National Womau's Party
is hard at work lobbying in Albany
and Washington. These rich women
who have nothing else to do,-who no
doubt enjoy this form of activity as
relief from ennui--are profoundly
shocked and incensed at the idea that
special measures should be introduced
for the protection of women, Such
bills can be interpreted in only one
way, they say, that is, that women
are weaker than men, for it is only
the weak who need special protective
Legislation. We will show them, they
say, that we can stand on our own
feet. Woman suffrage is one thing
and special protection is another, The

alternative-and that was to 1engthen
the hours of work. Because textile
mills employ women for the most
part the repeal of the act limiting
hours of labor for women is very es-
sential to further the mill owners in
terests.
What Equality Means.
The working woman has nothing in
common with her bourgeois sisters
notion of equality.
Equality for the working woman
means fighting side by side with her
fellow workers, male or female, on
the picket line, in the Union, in polit-
ical organizations, and in co-opera-
tives.
The exploited working woman can
only know equality in the actual class
struggle.
At the present time what she needs
lis an active organization thru which
she can express the needs peculiar to
her sex and class. She must fight for
special measures to meet these needs.
Let the bourgeois women fight for
perfect equality! Working women
must fight to better their conditions
and in doing SO fight for equality.

the confession-and the promise was
made to them because Wall Street
was carrying on a little mock battle
with Roosevelt and had not yet made
him come to terms. The promise was
made through Jim Hill, of Minnesota
and who understood it came from j.
Pierpont Morgan, who was backed
up by big business men here in New
York, with whom he is in close rela-
tons. We were told if we would
nominate a safe and sane man on a
sane platform that that amount of
money and probably more would be
Forthcoming as soon as the conven-
ton was over. Now, here we are Cat

New York; and we are told that the
arrangement has failed. Morgan says
he has made his deal with Roosevelt

can get along with them"
Where Democrats Get Money.
A casual examination Of the letter
of Mr.. Jesse H. Jones of Houston,
director of finance of the national
committee of the democratic party
sent by him on February 20 of this
year to the democratic national COM
mittee, reveals that plenty of good
Wall Street gold is received by them.
Yet his letter deals only with contri-
buttons to make up the deficit from
the 1924 campaign. 1t includes con
tribution from Owen D. Young, vice.

Company, who is an old hacker of

Governor Smith, and who Is very
much interested in the disposition of
the source of water-power in the
United States and in super-power
control and mergers. There is Cyrus

Harvester Trust on the list. John w.

and lawyer of the House of Morgan,

Thomas Fortune Ryan hands out
$4,000 at one clip to make up a little
deficit.
Several members of the Strauss
family are on the list. Henry Nor
genthau is there. So is Silas H.
Strawn. This was just small honor
roll of those who contributed to wipe
out little deficit of less than mil
lion, left over from the last electoral
campaign, and gives no real notion
of where the big pickings come from.
The democratic party has never
complained that Wall Street gave
them too much. The only official
complaint we have on record is that
of Wilbur R. Marsh, former treasurer
of the democratic national committee,
who declared in 1920 before the SEN
ate committee: eve have lost con-
tinuously because we did not have
money enough to present the issues.
There is no question about that" And
indeed, Mr.. Marsh is in large meas
ure correct. In all electoral cam
paigns since the Civil War, with one
exception, the victory always went to
the party with the biggest campaign
fund.

Among the big business elements
that contribute to campaign funds are
certain gentlemen who like to play
safe. They are sporting gentlemen
all right, but they take no chances.
The Boys Who Play Safe.
Among these gentlemen is Edward
Doheny. In 1920 he was democratic
national committeeman for the state
Of California. He was vice-presiden-
tial timber and actually nominated as
the favorite son of his state for the
vice-presidency. Edward Doheny is
good democrat-no one doubts that
Yet an examination of the campaign
lists of the republican party for the
year in question reveals that Doheny
contributed to them as well as to the
democrats. Sinclair did the same, al
though he is reputed to be repub-
lican. Their plan was simple. If the
democrats had carried the election
some good friend, possibly Doheny
himself, would have been made cab
met member. Another good friend
would have been made secretary OF
the interior. However it would have
been managed, the net result would
have been Teapot Dome going to the
hands of Doheny and Sinclair. II
turned out the other way, but they
were just as well prepared.

of the same species. He bet on al

VoUR body needs to have a GER
4 tain amount OF fat in its tis-
sues IL it IL to remain healthy,
Fat may be stored In the body
through eating fats and oils, but
this is not q hard and fast rule.
Much Of the fat that IL eaten is
converted into heat or other kinds
of energy, and body fat may be,
and often IL. formed from an ex-
cess Of carbohydrate or protein
over what the body requires.
Various research workers have
made experiments to see whether
IT is possible to live without eating
any fat at all. Van Groer, in 1919,
fed two infants for the first six
months of their life on a practic-
ally fat-free diet; he gave them at
first separated milk and sugar,
and later porridge, with SKINNED
milk and sugar. They grew at q
normal rate and showed no signs
of disease, but did not seem as
well-nourished as they might have
been.
other writer's, says J. w. Bunker
american Journal Public Healthy
have reported that young men lived
on bread and vegetables and no
fats and retained health and vlgor'
and that rats did quite well on rat
free diets, provided they got
enough vitamin A. The essence
of all these results is that, provided
the vitamirs which are found IN
fat are provided in other things
fats are not necessary.
Richardson actually says that
with a varied diet it makes no
difference whether you eat butter
or margarine, and he reared rats
successfully on ordinary table
food minus dairy products. IL
then, fat is not necessary. what
good is it? The answer is: In
its capacity as vitamin carrier.
Butter has much less vitamln
in it than is generally supposed
and buffers vary widely in their
vitamin content, chilly because
of variations in the diet on
which the cows have been fed.
This applies especially to vitamin

say that there is little to choose
between animal and vegetable
fats as sources Of vitamin A. The
amount in vegetable oil depends
on the raw material and the
method of manufacture; the
amount in animal oil depends
chiefly on the animals diet. The
milk of COW that has been fed
on a diet poor in vitamins A, =

So, you see that the diet of
cows has much to do in detern-
ming the vitamin value of both

them.
