Alio around us are equally invut ing gardens—as far as even our pre- judiced eyes can see ---and within' easy distance is an ,excelent wo'od'sy park Where dogs call range at wit, btarkat the ducks in the pond, and once in a while startle' -a ,pheasant or a part- rid,ge, But do the fox terriers, • : both wire-haired and smooth, the Boston ,terriers, the English setters, the Aire- dales, the police dings, the Russliaa wolfhound, to say nothing of several engaging' specimens of lesser and highly` variegated b'reecls, seek those other attractive gardens and the syl- v'an wildness of the park ? Apparently not.

THE SONG OF THE SHIRT (Sone ninety years ago, 'Thomas Hood, an English poet, wrote these venses as part of a poem called "The Song of the 'Shirt," which appeared in every school reader when I was a boy and is still recited today. The purpose of the poem was to call the attention of the English ,people tothe exploit- ation of women workers by unscrupu- lous employers of that day. Lt may seem a far cry front Thomas Hood's poem to the New York Fac- tory Investigating Committee of 19111, but the 'conditions which this investi- gation and others like it all over the country revealed were almost identi- cal with.those which the English poet complained of. The progress made by justice Brandeir, and others like hint, rn in fooulating and bringing about the adoption of labor legislation, and their activities in having these la'w's declared constitutional were widely supposed to have abolished ,the worst conditions of industrial exploitation frons the land. The reformers, however,; met with a serious set -back when the District of Columbia lane providing for a com- pulsory ntinintutm wage for women and, children in industry was dellared unconstitutional by a five to three decision of the United States Supreme Court in lig23, justice Brandeis, whose daughter helped frame the law and was identtlfied'With its administration, nut voting. It was therefore really one of livethose unfortunate to four decisions on social questions which. leave the average citizen •betril'dered, (What shall we say, for example, to the intelligent woman W110o discovers that IOhicf justice Taft wrote the minor- ity opinion in this case ,strongly up- holding ,the miniunturn wage law ?

Many 'fititns in the garment dustry are reported as moving into states with less stringent labor 'laws, exploiting women workers there, and then selling the pro'duc't in New York al New York prices. Under these conditions, the decent employers are handicapped in compet- ing with those who pay starvation wages. So many woanen and girls are out of work that it is ,possible to em- ploy them under the most barbarous conditions as to wages, hours and working conditions. The United - States 'Women's ,Bureau reports wo- men in sewing trades in Connecti- cut working as much as sixty-five hours a week at a time of unpreced- ented general unempl'oymen't. Of course, under present conditions, consumers who are themselves bard up, want to buy goods as cheaply as they can, and it is almost impassible to persuade then. not •to purchase sweated goads. Under the Supreme Court decisioin governing the nnini- tnutn wage, the existing state ntin.- muttn wage boards have nothing to depend ''on but .public opinion, and when public opinion fails theta as it does under present conditions, they are all finished. Under these condi- tions, working people must depend on iGoverners and legislatures to main- tain standards of enforcement of all labor laws. As to the compulsory' minimum wage for women and children in in rlustry, I believe that a new act, ltroporly dra'wii and giving full pro- tection against eitploitatio'n, should be taken up to the United States Su- preme,Court for decision, and that the present Court will find °means to dis- tinguish the previous decision • and hold the new act constitutional We need not tolerate for another hundred years the conditions which Hood complained of ninety years ago in "The Song of the Shirt:" BEAUTY HINTS !If you can't afford the luxury of a• well stocked beauty cabinet look .to your kitchen cupboard..
