Our government never faced so tre mendous a problem as that now lying dormant at the doors of congress and the 1 xi:ilatures, and which, when aroused, will shake this nation from center to circumference, and mako civilization hide Its face in shame. That problem Is women ln the field. Tug last federal census reports show we now have 1,514,000 women working (n the field, most of them south of the Mason and Dixon line. There wero approximately a million negro slaves working ln the fields when liberated by the emancipation proclamation. We have freed our slaves and our women have taken their places ln bondage. We have broken the shackles off the negroes and welded ihem upon our daughters. The Chain-Gang of Civilization. A million women In bondage in the southern fields form the chain-gang of civilization the industrial tragedy of the age. There Is no overseer Quite so cruel as that of unrestrained greed, no whip that stings llko the lash of suborned destiny, and no auctioneer's block quite so revolting as that of or ganized avarice. The president of the United States was recently lauded by the press, and very properly so, for suggesting medi ation between the engineers and rail road managers Jn adjusting their schedule of time and pay. The engi neers threatened to strike If their wages were not Increased from ap proximately ten to eleven dollars per day and service reduced from ten, to eight hours and a similar readjust ment of the overtime schedule. Our women are working ln the field, many of them barefooted, for less than 60 cents per day, and their schedule is the rising sun and the evening star, and after the day's work Is over they milk the cows, slop the hogs and rock the baby to sleep. Is anyone medlat lug over their problems, and to whom shall they threaten a Btrike? Congress has listened approvingly to those who toll at the forge and be hind the counter, and many of our statesmen have smiled at the threats and have fanned the flame of unrest among industrial laborers. Hut wom en are as surely the final victims of Industrial warfare as they are the burden-bearers In the war between na tions, and those who arbitrate and mediate the differences between capi tal and labor should not forget that when the expenses of any industry are unnecessarily Increased, society foots the bill by drafting a new consignment of women from the home to the field. Pinch no Crumb From Women's Crust of Bread. No financial award can be made without someone footing the bill, and we commend to those who accept the responsibility of the distribution of In dustrial justice, the still small voice of the woman ln the field as she pleads for mercy, and we beg that they pinch no crumb from her crust of bread or put another patch upon her ragged garments. We beg that they listen to the scream of horro from the eagle on every American dollar that Is wrung from the brow of tolling women and hear the Goddess of Justice hiss at a verdict that increases the want of woman to satisfy the greed of man. The women behind the counter and In the factory cry aloud for eympatby and the press thunder out in their defense and the-, pulpit pleads for mercy, but how about the woman ln th$ field? Will not .these, powerful exponents of human rights turn their talent, energies and Influence to her relief? Will the Goddess of Liberty enthroned at Washington hold the cal loused hand and soothe tho feverish brow of her sfx who sows and reaps the nation's hnrvest or will she permit the male of the species to shove women weak and wenry from the bread-line of industry to the back al leys of poverty? Women and Children First. The census enumerators tell us that of the 1.514,000 women w ho work ln the fields as farm hrnds 109.000 are six teen years of acre and under. What Is the final destiny of a nation whose fu ture mothers spend their girlhood days behind the plow, pitching hay and hauling manure, and what Is to become of womanly culture and refinement that grace the home, charm society and enthuse man to leap to glory ln noble achievements If our daughters are raised in the society of the ox and the companionship of the plow? In that strata between the ages of sixteen and forty-five are 950,000 wom en working as farm hands and many of them with suckling babes tug King at their breasts, as drenched lii perspiration, they wield the scythe and guide the plow. What Is to be come of that .nation where poverty breaks the crowns ot tho queens of the home; despair hurls a mother's love from Its throne anu hunger drives Innocent children from the schoolroom to the ape? The census bureau shows that 155, 000 of these women are forty-five years of age and over. There is no 'more pitiful sight ln civilization than these saintly mothers of Israel stooped with age, drudging ln the field from sun until sun and at night drenching their dingy pillows with the tears of despair as their aching hearts take it all to God in prayer. Civilization strikes them a blow when It should give them a crown, and their only friend Is he who broke bread with beggars and said: "Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest." Oh, America! The land of the free and the home of the brave, the world's custodian of chivalry, the champion of human rights and the de fender of the oppressed shaH we per mit our maidens fair to be torn from the hearthstone by the ruthless hand of destiny and chained to the plow? Shall we permit our faithful wives, whom we covenanted with God to cher ish and protect, to be hurled from the home to tho harvest field, and our mothers dear to be driven from the old arm chair to the cotton patch? In rescuing our citizens from the forces of civilization, can we not apply to our fair Dixieland the rule of the sea "women and children' first?" There must be a readjustment of the wage scale of Industry bo that the women can be taken from the field or given a reasonable wage for her serv ices. Perhaps the Issue has never been fairly raised, but the Farmers' Union, wtth a membership of ten million, puts its organized forces squarely behind the Issue and we now enter upon the docket of civilization the case of "The Woman in the Field" and demand an immediate trial.

RAILROADS APPEAL TO PRESIDENT The Common Carriers Ask for Re liefPresident Wilton Direct Attention of Public to Their Needs. The, committee of railroad execu tives, headed by Mr. Frank Trumbull, representing thirty-five of the leading railroad Bystenia ot the nation, recent ly presented to President Wilson a memorandum briefly reviewing the dif ficulties now confronting the railroads of the country and asking tot the co operation ot tho governmental authori ties and the public la supporting rail road credits and recognizing an emer gency which requires that the rail roads be given additional revenues. The memorandum recites that the European war has resulted ln general depression of business on the Ameri can continent and in the dislocation of credits at home and abroud. With revenues decreasing and Interest rates increasing the transportation systems ot the country face a most serious crisis ana the memorandum Is a strong presentation of the candle burning at both ends and the perils that must ultimately attend such a conflagration when the flames meet is apparent to all. In their general discussion tho railroad representa tives say In part: "By reason of leg islation and regulation by the federal government and the torty-olght states acting independently of each other, as well as through the action of a strong public opinion, railroad expenses in recent years have vastly Increased No criticism is here made of the gen eral theory of governmental regula tion, but on the other hand, no In genuity can relieve the carriers of ex penses created thereby." President Wilson, ln transmitting the memorandum of the railroad presidents to the public, character izes it as "a lucid statement ot plain truth." The president recognizing the emergency as extraordinary, con tinuing, said In part: "You ask me to call the attention of the country to the imperative need that railway credits be sustained and ! the railroads helped ln every possible way, whether by private co-operative effort or by the action, wherever feasible of governmental agencies, and I am glad to do so because I think the need very real." The conference was certainly a fortunate one for the nation and the president Is to be congratulated for opening the gate to a new world of effort ln which everyone may co-operate. There are many Important prob lems ln our complex civilization that will yield to co-operation which will not lend themselves to arbitrary rul IngB of commissions and financing railroads Is one of them. The man with the money Is a factor that can not be eliminated from any business transaction and the public is an Inter ested party that should always be con sulted and happily the president baa Invited all to participate In the solu tion of our railroad problems. r MOV EOS Free We have inov. d into our new place of business opposite Press Office and are better prepaired than ever to supply wants in PLUMBING.
