manufacturers, farmers, workingmen
and all who so strongly advocate the
American valuation plan is that to
assess duties on such foreign values
as these amounts to practically free
trade, and no consumer is getting the
benefit of these low prices paid by
the e importers, who exact profits
of from 200 to 1,000 per cent when

The last Knickerbocker victim bur

away to sorrowing relatives in the
home town, official Washington turns
whole-heartedly to the task of "hold

and of uttering portentous and vol
uminous remarks designed to show
the folks at home how mucch on the
job the utterer is!
After a battle the buzzards gather;
after a holocaust the authorities who
did nothing to prevent it gather to dis
cuss whose fault it was!
All very necessary, doubtless, but
rather ineffectual. Regardless of the
cause of the disaster, whether it was
weight of snow or weakness of steel
or inefficiency of engineering or lax
ness of building inspection, or vibra
tion caused by street cars on a cross
ing, the undoubted fact remains that
it is not nearly so important to "fix
the blame" and "punish the guilty
as it is vitally important to know
whether other such accidents, both in
the national capital and in other cities,
are now in process of getting ready
to happen!
The nation will look with far more
favor on the congressman or senator
who initiates something concrete and
tangible, looking to the prevention of
such dreadful calamities in the fu

ers in the unionized fields, which pro
duce approximately 70 per cent of
the output, and throughout the an
thracite fields, expire on April 1,
1922. Within the past two weeks the
preliminary arrangements necessary
to a conference loo the discussion of
tenus am} scales have been stopped.
The leading officials of the United
Mine Workers of America have re
peatedly declared that they would re

not to renew the existing wage con

dustry faces an impasse, which may
end in the closing down of the mines
and resultant disorder.
And what of the public's interest?
What does the public know of this
situation? And what is the public
going to do about it?
We have short memories. It is
only natural that the little affairs
of bur daily life should engross our
attention the exclusion of such ap

freight rates and wages. The intri

of most of us. Yet the foundation
of personal and national existence
must be regarded in terms of heat
and power.
With this undoubted fact in mind,
there is only one declaration for the
general public to make, only one res
ohition:

WHAT RIGHTS HAVE
WOMEN OF AMERICA
All the legislation which might
be passed could not make a man and
a woman alike. The fundamental dif
ference of sex and all that it implies
must forever forbid complete similar
M
ity.
With this for a basis, Mrs. Florence
Kelly, of the National Consumers'
League, sends broadcast some ques
tions which, she says, must be an
swered before the new proposed fed
eral amendment proposed by the Na
tional Woman's Party be considered
by congress and the state legislatures.
The proposed amendment as draft
ed reads:
Section 1. No political, civil,
legal disabilities or inequalities on ac
count of sex, or on account of mar
riage unless applying alike to both

The payment of civilian widowed
mothers' pensions is clearly an in
equality on account of sex and of
marriage, which does not apply alike
to both sexes. Shall widowers have
pension, or shall widowed mothers be
deprived of theirs?
Will the amendment destroy the
new law popularly known as the
Sheppard-Towner bill, which creates
an inequality by reason of
favor of women, maternity not
plying alike to both sexes?

What will become of the Mann

advantages ?
How can they get an eight-hour
law for themselves in a state where
workingmen do not care to get it
