I think it would be an excel lent idea if the rment gave mothers’ pensions to the women wh bear the children, so that the latter would be well tended and the mother contented without having to remain in industry, Naturally, there would always be exceptions—married wom ntinue a suce ul professional ca If they can make sure that their children are well cared for there is no reason why they show 4 up their work. OUR WIDOWS’ PENSION LAW IN- TERESTS THEM. “Mothers’ pensions, and especially widowed mothers’ pensions, are most desirable, however,” summed up Dr Sundquist, and # med greatly interested when I told her New, York already has a Widowed Mothers’ Pen- to keep them mother ean “ sion Law. As for me, I was giad to WASHINGTON, Nov. 1—"The problem of the working day has been fing qt least one industrial provision solved in Sweden by the passage, within a few weeks, of a national law|for wom making eight hours the legal working period for almost every man and) woman.” Dr. Alma Sundquist told me to-day at the first International Con- ference of Working Women. “The law applies to nearly every kind of work except farming, house- work and some work in stores. Provision is made for a committee com-| posed of workmen, employers and members of the Government to decide questions of allowable overtime and the rate to be paid for it.” Dr. Sundquist came from her country as delegate to the Inter- national Conference of Women Phy- sicians, which recently adjourned at the Y.

And this means the women have got something to say in our country! I "| think I can promise that the women of Sweden will do thejr best to promote the ideals of this congress.” WHERE SWEDISH WOMEN GET EQUAL PAY WITH MEN. “Since Sweden remained neutral during the war and her men stayed at home, the condition of women in in- dustry was not improved,” admitted Dr. Sundquist. ‘Nevertheless, there are certain industries in which women now receive equal pay with the men employed there. Among these indus- tries where conditions are just for women are printing, beermaking and slovemaking. “In many other industries, however, women are underpaid as compared with their male fellow workers, and there is a certain tendency to force them into these poorly paid jobs.” Then Dr. Sundquist disclosed that Swedish women are up against the identical problem forced on rebellious groups of well paid New York women lost winter—notably the transporta- tion workers. We all remember how certain prosperous uplifters went to Albany and gently but firmly uplifted these women out of their jobs by pass- ing legislation, against their protest, which prevented them from worRing at night. “A law was passed in Sweden,” declared Dr. Sundquist, “forbidding women to work at night. It was men who put through the law, for women only recently have been given the vote. With the ballot, which they have not yet had a chance to use, women probably will repeal this most unpopular law. ‘They all are against it." Dr, Sundquist’s blue eyes of the were hard and hostile, “Why? @ it simply operates to drive women out of well paid occupations into badly paid ones. The compos tors, for example, were paid on a scale like that of men, and many women worked successfully in print- ing before the law was passed. Now because of it there are few women compositors. DON'T WANT PROTECTION, BUT EQUAL RIGHTS. “Swedish women are against pro- tective legislation which makes them @ special Class apart from workers asa whole, They are against the law forbidding them to do night work, They are against laws that would bar them from dangerous trades. They feel they are not chil- dren, to be protected against explot- tation, but mature beings who can choose their own tasks and the time fox doing them. Swedish women also understand that so long as they are given/special industrial privilege it ts bound to operate against their claim for industrial justice in the matter of pay." “It seems to mo there is no argu- ing that point,” I told Dr, Sundquist, “Yet ought not some special indus- No) ue” — are symptoms of by food poisons, not neu- ited by bowels, liver and harmony. Beecham’s Pills help to remove the cause of this trouble, They act gent- ly and safely, but also trial provisions be made to apply to women who undergo the experience | of motherhood?” | “In Sweden at present,” she ex- plained, “women are not allowed to work for three weeks before their babies are born and for six w oT afterward, During this period they receive part-time pay from their em- ployers. Z “The only proper way to handle the industrial problem of the young mother is to have maternity insur- ance—a fund to which the woman, the employer and the Government aN contribute, ‘That is womething the women of Sweden want, and which they will work to get, now that they have the ballot. A good many women in my country cannot afford to stop work when they marry.” “But do you think they ought to stop?” I asked Dr, Sundquist. To Get up in the morning tired and unrefitgahed. with a ph i domd head, headache, to feel low- n in which we were ahead of at least other country. “Another thing we want in Sweden is an unemployment fund for women, continued the Swedish delegate. Ye there's one form of uner from which Sweden suffers no more than New York. No good servants lare hunting jobs in either place. “The servant problem with us Is very bad," admitted Dr. Sundquist. “Women do not lant to work in the home, do not. like the conditions of domestic service. Domestic workers in Sweden are scarce, and thelr ranks are decreasing steadily. You see, the newly passed Eight-Hour Law does jot apply to them.” norwhat labor protection is given children in Sweden?” 1 asked In Dr. Sundquist's answer there was another lesson for the United State still struggling to find a consti tional method of prohibiting the lab of young children. “Swedish children or re not allowed ore the age of teen and eighteen they m quent physical examinations, and they are barred from labor unless physically equal to it. Yet Sweden haa answered the question of what her young people are to do by provid- ing compulsory trade echools without tuition fees, Here boys and girls be- tween fourteen and eighteen may tm- prove themaelves by studying agri- culture, textile work, leather trades, needle work, housekeeping: great number of ordinary occupa- tions. “No night work and no work in dangerous trades is permitted the young. Their entire working day cannot be more than six hours, and of this period part must be spent in the trade school, the exact perlod varying with the individual need. On one week day the boy or girl between fourteen and. eighteen must have neither work fior school.” LONDON: PRESS CONCEDES Criticise Government’s Policy. LONDON, Nov, 1.—The London press is unanimous to-day in conceding triumph for the Government in the financial debate in the House of Com- mons Thursday when it secured a vote of confidence on its financial policy by ‘a majority of 355, even the Daily News, which had been criticising the Govern- ment most severely, referring to Pre- mier Lloyd George's speech as an ora- torical triumph which made a tréme: dous impression on the Hous cussion, it points out, was virtually over when the Premier resumed his seat. Nevertheless some of the newspapers continue to criticise what is alluded to as the Government's “falth-healer fi- nance.” They accuse the Government of replying. with rhetoric and igno: Jogic and facts. ‘This is notably the with the Times, which declares there will be widespread amazement House of Commons could be easily | City Ratiway at the | | cajoled.” Believers in * representative {natitutions will tremble for the future of democracy, It decl: RE-ESTABLISH TRANSFER | PRIVILEGE TO-MORROW Companies Ordered t Exira Fare Charge at 80th Street, Brooklyn, End End Transfers established to morrow mo n Street, Brook: | lyn, between the surface lines and the New York Con. 4 Railway Com according to Commissioner Nix to-day, Commissioner Nixon not the Brooklyn comp: that un- the transfer privilege was imme- Wintely re-established, he would go to court an orde compliance At the by the m and obtain compelling it was announced of the Brooklyn same time nagem that hr the Flatbush Avenue tine by civic organizations and as ordered by |Commissioner Nixon Inst Wednesday | | would be re-established Nov. * Jeral Manager HH Hobart Porter an | noun that the Flatb Avenue | cars, from that date, at through to we. oN lected, | the being due Foster Avenue > MILK WAGON DRIVERS MEET.
