Another of Those Curious Coincidences


On February 15, the House of Representatives passed a bill making it
unlawful to ship in interstate commerce the products of a mill, cannery
or factory which have been produced by the labor of children under
fourteen years.

Forty-three gentlemen voted against it.

Forty-one of those forty-three had also voted against the woman suffrage
bill.

Not one single vote was cast against it by a representative from any
state where women vote for Congressmen.

"The Michigan commission on industrial relations has discovered," says
"The Detroit Journal," "that thousands of wives support their husbands."

Woman's place is the home, but under a special privilege she is
sometimes allowed to send her wages as a substitute.
