It’s Time TO ACT Tacoma has secured the second conviction for violation of the new eight-hour law for women, A laundry was fined for working an employe overtime. About two weeks ago another employer was convicted of making a stenographer work more than cight hours That is Tacoma’s record so far And what has Seattle done? NOTHIN One complaint was filed in a perfunctory sort of way, and the county prosecutor's office states that the case may come up at the fall court term. “We've been too busy with more im portant cases,” was the burdén of the excuse given for not seeing to the proper enforcement of this vitally important law “Too busy” to see that women, struggling with the diffi culties of making “both ends meet” under industrial conditions, are protected in their hard-won rights! Too near-sighted not to see that nothing is “more important” than the care and protec tion of the women of America! The Star has printed enough information to lead to scores of convictions, if Seattle and King county officials were not dead to their responsibilities AND TO THEIR OWN POLITICAL FUTURE. ne The eight-hour law was passed to be enforced, and it’s just about time for Seattle officials to get very busy. The people who are forcing traction magnates to give them their rights can also compel big and little employers to stop working children, | young girls and women like slaves.

Well, both parties were absolutely controlled by an unholy alliance composed of the Santa Fe railroad, the Southern Pacific railroad, the Phelps-Dodge outfit, the odk ex-Senator Clark ef Montana, and last but not least, the ever-present Guggen- heims. Frank Hitchcock, postmaster general, friend of Ballinger and of Morgan-Guggenheim, was to be the political boss under Statehood and was to be the first senator The people of the territory rebelled Broken. They couldn't get rid of the carpetbag government but they could run their own town and count yvern: t “SO THEY ADOPTED POPULAR PRIMAR ESCAPE PARTY COLLARS When the statehood enabling bills were passed over a year ago CANNON and ALDRICH were in control of house and Senate and Ballinger and Hitchcock were advisers at the White House on matters pertaining to the Far West j So it was written in the law FOR THE FIRST TIME that in electing delegates to their constitutional convention tht le could not use the popular primaries. > they smashed A gest slates and elected THEIR OWN PEOPLE in spite of the unholy alliance ; Fearing this, the railroads-smelter-papsucking combine had Let's get Jent Taft by his veto of self-government a's fight for statehood wwernors and judges Party lines were IES..TO congress provide, ALSO FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS-] TORY, that the new constitution must be approved by congress and the president. : The new constitution was written. fach, by the Guggys, the Hitchcocks, the railroads written.

Not the recall, but the right of the people who have already woted three to one for their constitution, to vote on it again. — Taft's position is simply this: He uses his power as presi- dent to say to the people of Arizona: j “YOU shall not decide for yourselves what rights you shall have under your own constitution. I, Taft, am opposed to the recall of judges, having been one myself, and as I happen to be president, I’m going to use the veto to prevent Arizona from be- coming a state unless they do what I want them to do in the making of their constitution.” : This is the act of an autocratic czar, elected president of a free republic.
