 Pay Women Tribute

A demand that "every qualified woman who needs gainful employ ment shall have 1t" was voiced by four speakers participating in Q tri-nation broadcast under the aus. pices of the International Fedora ton of Business and Professional Women yesterday to signalize the observance of International Night in g countries in which there are branches of the organization. They were Miss Lena Madesin Phillips of New York city, International president, and Miss Charl Ormond Williams of Washington, D. O., Miss Caroline Haslet t of London and Miss Mary 0. Mount of Hamilton, Ontario, presidents respectively of the federations of the United States, Great Britain and Canada. The broadcast was given from 300 to 3:30 ?. nl., EST, and reiayed from Station WABC, New York to a nationwide network of the Colum- bia Broadcasting System.
 Miss Phillips, the initial speaker, made Q strong plea for full equality for women. Tn the name of the Federation she not only demanded "gainful employment for all quail fled persons" but declared that claws which provide smaller wages for work when 1t is done by women instead of men are unjust laws, unworthy of those lands which chant their boasts of freedom ano justice"
 Miss Caroline Haslett, the second speaker, interrupted 6 dinner of the British Federation of Business and Professional Women, ct which Wis., countess Astor, Ellen Wilkinson, M. F., Amy Mollison and Lillian Baylis, the latter manager of two large London theaters, were speakers, to broadcast this message: Tonight in many countries we know that our fellow members are discussing the economic status of women today. I am glad to tell you from Great Britain that in this country we feel that women have not lost ground; i; that in many ways they are holding theis own in positions. More and moro women are being brought into consultation with men and 1t is be- ing recognized that the capacity of the individual is the thing that matters, not the question of sex. We still feel that there are many prob- le,ns to be solved, problems not only affecting women in the economic field, but affecting the whole cor11- munity. We also feel that women in responsible positions are recogniz- ing more and more that they have a responsibility and can make c contribution to the professional world and also to the community ct large"
 "Women's problem is not mere- ly one of national importance, but of world importance" Miss Mary 0. Mount, president of the Canadian Federation, said. "The strongest desire in our hearts is for world

SEEN LIKELY

The general business outlook
has not changed materially dur
ing the recent past according to
Standard Statistics Company. In
dustrial activity is being main
tanned at considerably higher
levels than those prevailing year
ago, but indications are that the
seasonal slackening usually ex'
perienced in the summer will be
witnessed this year. The spring
rise in production reached it's
crest several weeks ago, and the
basis for a renewed upturn will
be lacking until late August or
early September, the firm said,
adding:
with the exception Of the
steel trade, which is being bene.
fitted by anticipatory buying
before price advance becomes
effective on July 1, the major
industries are beginning to ta-
per off production schedules.
Retail sales of automobiles are
being maintained around the
best levels of the year, but the
manufacturers have been reduc-
ing moderately the rate of as.
semblies for several weeks. The
textile industry Is entering a
slack period, and building con-
tract awards probably have
passed their peak for the year."
