superiority at pole vaulting do you
If it is accomplished by a suscep-
tibility to pneumonia?
The arch-feminists have always
had a hard time trying to explain
away athletic records in their efforts
to prove that woman is in every way
mans equal You simply can not
get away from the fact that the
women champions at golf and ten
mis- have never beaten the ranking
men. You can not escape the in
controveruble evidence at the stop
watch that men do run faster than
we ever shall. But this form of
strength is balanced by weakness OF
another order.
There are more widows than Wild
overs. Mortality among boy infants
is higher than among girls. The
myth of woman's physical frailty IS
therefore neatly knocked into
cooked hat. We have different sorts
of strength, we men and women,
but neither can claim all the
hOnOTS.

Finch
HOnOred at
Three Fetes
Entertained Prior to De-
parture for East to
Take Position.

Two parties today and one last
night honored Miss Mary Stuart
Finch, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Clarence j. Finch, who will leave
this month for Waterbury, Conn.,,
to become a student dietitian in the
hospital.
Mrs. j. G. Harris entertained at
luncheon today at her home, 1856
Carrollton avenue, in Miss Finch's
honor. The luncheon table was
conferred with silver bowl of white
roses and lighted with green tapers.
Guests with Miss Finch and her
parents were her sister, Miss Betty
Finch, and Miss Maxine Ballweg
and Mrs Charles Calene, Lebanon.
Miss Ruth Voorhis will be hostess
at dinner tonight at her home near
Greenfield. Guests will include Miss
Finch, Mr.. and Mrs. Finch, Miss
Betty Finch, Clarence Finch and
Mr.. and Mrs. Bert w. Voorhis. APP

never so feminine as when she is
dressed in trousers. Even the
show producers know that.
You can't take away from a
girl the fine deep flavor of her
feminity and when she is sur
rounded by men it is only the
more evident.
Contrary to expectation, there
fore, business has not been in
jured by such influence. More
beauty, good manners, gentleness,
consideration and fair play has
been brought into the industrial
world since women entered it
than during any other period of
history. Instead of toughening
women, as was feared, it looks
as if women are feminizing bust
ness, change that will greatly
improve it.

A WOn1anS ViezUbOint
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

A PERFECTLY natural phe-
IA nomenon that always ex-
cites me is the sight of a woman
doing a mans work and yet re-
manning feminine. Feature writ
ers forever are calling our atten-
ton to the wonder Of it. Ire
mendOuS emphasis is placed upon
the fact that careers do not pre-
vent their owners from a fond
ness for making cakes or busting
behind the piano. just as if, by
putting a cat into a cage, you
could turn him into canary!
A woman who spends her time
in an office with men doing the
same work they do would, it seems
to me, be rather more feminine
than in other surroundings. That
is she would cling more tenacious
ly to those traits which set her
apart from her companions. She
would be almost sure to feel con-
sciouS of her differences and
therefore to accentuate those diff
ferences in her thinking and in
her approach to her job.
And SO another DOGGY is laid.
They die hard, but one by one
they go. It was universally phoph-
esied, you remember, that the
minute women began working
and competing with men they
would become amorphous beings,
quite devoid Of softneSs and allure
and wholly lacking IN the gentler
arts. Yet what do we find today?
Offices, shops, stores, factories in
which feminine influence is diff
fused and felt. Girls reign there,
girls who keep their hair mar
celled, their nails highly polished,
their lips rouged and who dress
in all the frills compatible with
the performance Of their jobs.
Besides that a woman is really

Some Remain Silent

Nice men nowadays do not talk
much about their alleged superiority
:. of muscle or Of mind. but it is fair
" evident. from their doings, that
they do not greatly fear any compet-
tition from us in either sports or
business.
Their manifest disappointment
when the babies come to bless their
homes turn out to be girls is one
give-away. Their willingness to
give a woman all the breaks in the
little niceties of social life is an
other-and very nice it is to them,
too. Just" is an adjective which,
in its belittlng sense, seems to the
average man to naturally precede "a
woman"
And in intellectual achievement,
too, they can point to their records
20 clinch matters. They can, with
entire justice, say that of the ten
best painters and the ten best writ
ers and the ten best musicians OF
the past not one was a woman.
They can point out that science Is
largely the product OF the maScu-
line mind and that our cities have
been planned and built by men. And
so they are, naturally, little re-
luctant to grant our claim to equal
ity-in their own minds, Of course,
if they are polite.
Overlook Outstanding Fact
= The fact that women never were
given a chance to achieve excellence
in the arts until very recently men
are inclined to overlook, except when
the matter is pointed out to them.
The fact that women are just be-
ginning to grope toward some dis
tinctive method of self-eXpreSSion
they largely disregard. For that,
after all, is the way they have been
taught to think from earliest child
hood. and we can hardly blame them
for doing so.
But it is just as well for E, as
women, to face the fact that the
men who draft our laws and the
men who employ us and the men
who marry us are motivated, in all
their dealings with us, with an in
escapable sense of the superiority of
the male.
And it will take some doing to
rob them of it. tool

TO CONTINUE
COAL PROBE

Willkes-Barre, Pa.-The' National
Labor Relations Board authorized
James A. German, umpire of the An
thracite Board of Cancellation, tc
complete the inquiry into the anthra-
cite industry, sponsored by its prede-
cessor, the National Labor Board
The investigation was begun after a
series of strikes in the northern field
that threatened to disrupt the entire
industry last winter.
The National Labor Board passed
out of existence through an act of
the last congress.
In requesting Mr.. German to con-
tinue the investigation under the
auspices of the new board, Lloyd E
Garrison, it's chairman, expressed the
hope that the undertaking would be
completed October 1.
The taking of testimony was COM
pleted before Umpire German last
month, but there was a setback in
filing some of the briefs. The cases
are being forwarded to the umpire
for decision as rapidly as the evidence
is transcribed.

Dill PROPOSES
News Service to Radio Sta
tiOnS

Radio broadcasting stations have
been asked by Senator Clarence c.
Dill, of Washington, chairman Of the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce; to consider the formation Of
an associated radio news service,
covering the general news of the day,
and handled independently of exist
ing news distributing agencies. He
proposes to discuss the matter before
the convention Of the National Asso-
ciation of Broadcasters in Cincinnati
on September IL.
The various stations are asked to
inform him whether there is a de-
mand among their listeners for news
broadcasts, and to what extent the
stations are giving such features at
this time. In his letter to the stat
tions, he said:
PERSONALLY, / believe the American
people want flashes and spot news by
radio Since the press association re-
fuse to allow the use or sale of their
reports, it would seem the radio sta
tions might well form a great asso-
ciated radio service, planned and op-
Grated without profit, somewhat after
the Associated Press or the United
Press, such organization to be owned
by the stations and managed by di-
rectors chosen by them"
Have Special Service Now
In recent months the news pro-
grams of the broadcasting stations
have generally been supplied by a
special press radio service, sponsored
by the daily newspapers and wire
news services. These programs call
for two five minute broadcasts a
day, with each item limited to 80
words.
The proposal of Sen. Dill is attract
ing attention in daily newspaper cir
cles, where news broadcasts have gen.
orally been regarded as form OF
competition with the newspapers, and
bitterly resisted by their agencies and
interests.

STRIKE DEMANDS
Are Won By Knit Goods
Employees

New York.-The strike of $4,000
knit goods workers for shorter hours,
higher wages and improved work con-
ditions was ended when the employers
agreed to a cut in hours with the wage
rates and other matters in dispute to
be settled by arbitration. The unions
directly concerned were the Inter
national Ladies' Garment Workers
Union and the Knitgoods Workers
Union.
The tentative settlement of the
strike calls for thirty-six- hour week
the first year and thirty-fve-hour
week the second. The former work
week was tihrty-seven and one-half
hours. 1t also establishes for the
first time classified wage scales for
the workers. The pay rates, extra
pay for overtime, legal holidays and
other points are to be arbitrated by
Borough President Raymond v. In
gersoll, of Brooklyn, and Mrs. Eli
more M. Herrick, of the New York
Regional Labor Board.

New Wage Contract Of News
Writers Fixes 3O-Hour Week
Milwaukee Leader Enters Into Agreement With Editorial
Workers Fixing Minimum Rates of Pay; Eliminates
Students Working for Low Wages.

Milwaukee, Wis. (ILNS)-A new
labor contract between the Milwau-
kee Newswriters' Union No. 5, and
containing the first award in the
newspaper industry OF the 5-day and
30-hour week, has been signed. This
union is affiliated with the A. F. of
L., but not with the Newspaper Guild,
which was formed during the pen
dency of the publishers code.
For the first time this union in
cludes a wage scale in it's working
agreement, which in this case is the
result of arbitration of differences be-
tween the news workers and the pub
Usher. The minimum weekly wage
scales are: Experienced news men and
women, weekly, $45 effective January
L, 1884, and $52 effective October 1,
1884; news men and women of four
to five years experience, $40 and $46;
of three to four years experience,
$3.50 and $40; of two to three years,
experience, $28 and $35; of one to two
years experience, $24.50 and $28, and
of less than one years experience, $40
and $22.50

The arbiter is making his award
in connection with the 5-day, 30-hour
week, said that he entertained no
doubt that this limitation can be
established by all newspapers, regard
less of the number of editions, and
that it is in keeping with sound prac-
tice and the need Of the time.
1t was pointed out further that the
labor press can offer "no justification
for placing lower value on the labor
that enters into the product Of its
business than the commercial press.
MANY capitalistic papers would
cease publication were it not for the
financial support Of those whom they
serve," said the arbiter's report.
Labor, to get similar service in it's
interests, must be expected to finance
the press championing it's cause"
The contract provides that without
the express consent Of the union, not
more than one employe of less than
one years experience can be employed
at one time. This section is intended
to eliminate the promiscuous use of
established wages and working condi-
tions, and promoting tendency rec
ognized as largely responsible for
keeping down the standards of reg

Millions Of Dollars in Higher Pay
Secured For Miners, Murray Says
Business Men Would
Censor Labor News

Lynn, Mass. (ILNS)-Members of
shoe workers. unions are offering
strong resistance to the proposal
sponsored by three business men of
Lynn that a committee be created to
censor all labor news in this city be-
fore it appears in the news columns
of local newspapers. The claim is
that the present methods of handling
this news is harmful to the city"
Officials of labor unions take the
position that such committees, in
effect, would be a news suppression
or employer propaganda group, and
through control of labor news mate
rial, create an effectual barrier
against the presentation Of any news
rejecting the viewpoint of position of
the employer groups.

Vice President of Mine Workers Also Includes 35 Hour
Week and Unrestricted Right to Organize in Gains
Made During Past Year.

Constant progress of the members
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica was stressed by Philip Murray
international vice president of that
organization, in his Labor Day mes
sage for 1884
Among the achievements Mr.. Muir
ray cites millions of dollars in in
creased wages, the 35-hour week, de-
crease of dual union malcontents, and
90 per cent of the men who work
in our coal mines enrolled in the
United Mine Workers organization
Text of Murray's Message
The text of Mr.. Murray's Labor
Day message, issued from the head
quarters of the mine workers in
Washington, D. c., as follows:
"Our union has taken a long step
forward since last Labor Day, and we
intend to take further long steps in
the year just ahead. We have accom-
plished much, but there still is much
more to be done before the coal min
ers of America can feel that they have
reached their goal To accomplish
this great task will require the best
efforts and closest cooperation of
our entire membership, and | know
that this cooperation will be accord
ed. This is no time for division. 1t
is time for solidarity.
Nearly 100 Per Cent Organized
"There never was a time in the
history of the United Mine Workers
of America when the miners were sc
completely harmonious in thought ano
action, and it is upon this fact that
we base the statement that still
greater progress will be made.
"There are only two or three small
spots in the country where abortive
attempts are being made to weaker
| the influence of the United Mine
| Workers of America, and it is graft.
flying to know that even in those
places such attempts are failure.
| "Today, in spite of such attacks
the United Mine Workers of America
is nearly 100 per cent organized il
! the coal mining fields of the nation
Fully 90 per cent of the miners Of
| the United States are members OF
! our union. This leaves but handful
of malcontents, discontents anC
chronic trouble makers to constit, tt
the destructive groups. They fool 8
few miners here and there for a short
while, but they cannot and do moi
hold their victims for long.
| Every coal miner knows that con.
ditions in this industry are vastly
better than they were a year or two
ago. And they know, too, that every
improvement in these conditions has
been brought about by the United
! Mine Workers of America. The,
further know that not single one Of
these improvement was brought about
by any dual union.

of mine workers have been raised in
a substantial degree all over the coun-
try. Millions upon millions of dollars
have been added to the pay envelopes
of the miners, thus bringing into
their homes more and more and bet
ter food, more and better clothing
better housing, more education for the
children and many other benefits.
eve have established the seven
hour day and fve-day week in the
coal mining industry, reform fo1
which the miners have struggled for
years.
Full Right to Organize
"We now enjoy the full and unre-
stricted right to organize and bargain
collectively with out employers
through representatives of our owr
choosing. No longer do armed gun
men roam the highways and byways
in organized communities. There are
no more injunctions. But best of all
is the fact that the relations between
employers and employees in the min.
ing industry are more harmonious
than ever before.
"These are wonderful accomplish
ments, but the United Mine Workers
of America proposes to march straight
ahead for still greater things. With
our solid ranks and sound cooperation
on the part of the mine workers Of
the country we can look forward tt
the not distant time when life will be
made still better for the mine worker
and his family"
