The National Women's Trade Union League The National Women's Trade Union League "The strongest bond of human sympathy outside the family re­ lation should be the one uniting all working people of all nations and tongues and kindred."— Abraham Lincoln. City Hall Square Building 139 North Clark St. Chicago, Illinois is % THE PURPOSE of the National Women's Trade Union League is— TO PROTECT the women workers of America from an inadequate wage and extreme working hours through the OR­ GANIZATION OF THE WORK­ ERS, and through such legislation as the Minimum Wage and the Eight Hour Day. TO INCREASE co-operative action among them. TO CREATE a public opinion that really understands the labor movement. TO SUPPLY at aU times to all wage- earners assistance in working out their industrial difficulties. » TO SECURE definite and accurate information concerning conditions among women and children wage-earners leading to legislative action. The National Women's Trade Union League Conducts LIFE AND LABOR A monthly publication to inform its members and the country at large about the progress of the labor move­ ment. SCHOOL FOR ACTIVE WORKERS IN THE LABOR MOVEMENT To equip and send out leaders and organizers to serve the wage-earning women of America. Offers CORRESPONDENCE COURSES v English Composition Business English English Literature History of Suffrage for Women Legal Decisions in Labor Disputes Bookkeeping Parliamentary Law Trade Agreements PUBLIC LECTURES Miss Alice Henry, Staff Lecturer of the League, formerly editor of LIFE AND LABOR, may be secured for audi­ ences of all kinds on the following topics: Women, the Workers The Minimum Wage The Girl and Vocational Training The Vote—and After The City of Today (Arrangements nlade through the National Headquarters.) PLATFORM 1. The organization of working women throughout America . 2. Equal Pay for Equal Work , , 3. The Eight Hour Day 4. A Living Wage 5. Full Citizenship for Women Organization—"Self-government is essen­ tial to the making of a free people, and self-government in the day's work can be had only by the united action of the workers/' (Self-government in the Workshop. Margaret Dreier Robins.) Because the Women's Trade Union League believes in a government of the people, by the people and for the people in industry as in politics, it stands stead­ fastly and unflinchingly for the organiza­ tion of all workers into trade unions. 4 Equal Pay for Equal Work—There are 8,000,000 working women in the United States today. "Shall women enter into these labors as 'hewers of wood and drawers of water,' accepting as their portion the least desirable work, or men's work at inferior wages? Or shall they stand with men on the basis of justice ?'; (Equal Pay for Equal Work. Editha Phelps.) Eight Hour Day—"The loss of human energy due to excessive working hours is a national loss and must inevitably result in lowering the nation's prosperity." (Fatigue and Efficiency. Josephine Gold- mark. ) A Living Wage—The United States Pub­ lic Health Report recently issued esti­ mates that— 1/5 of the wage-earning women of America are earning less than $4 a week. 1/2 are earning less than $6 a week. 2/3 are earning less than $8 a week. Is this a living wage for all ? Full Citizenship Jor Women—'In a de­ mocracy the ballot is the symbol of human freedom and human prosperity. The ballot spells Political Liberty. Political Liberty corresponds to a need of both halves of humanity." (Address to House of Governors. Mary Johnson. Decem­ ber, 1912.) MEMBERSHIP The League was organized in 1963. It has now grown to nine local leagues and three committees. Its -membership extends to individuals and organizations who, although not a part of the labor move­ ment, are sympathetic with its aims and subscribe to its platform. It has affiliated with it International Unions, State Federations of Labor, Cen­ tral Labor Bodies and Local Unions.

  • 268 Kansas History William Allen White and the Russian Revolution
    William Allen White (1868-1944) was the editor of the Emporia Gazette, and in his capacity as a journalist, he was invited to attend an aborted peace conference at Prinkipo in Turkey in early 1919, a trip that instilled in him a lifelong interest in Russia and its politics. Courtesy of the Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division, Washington, D.C. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 38 (Winter 2015–2016): 268-282 268 Kansas History William Allen White and the Russian Revolution by Norman E. Saul illiam Allen White is best known as a homespun and witty commentator on Kansas and American political, social, and economic life of the first half of the twentieth century. He accomplished this through editorials in his Emporia Gazette, syndicated columns and articles, and several popular books directed at mainstream, middle-class Americans. His role in and writings on international affairs are played down, in fact barely mentioned, not only by his biographers but by White himself in his classic autobiography.1 Yet White’s Wextensive correspondence, newspaper accounts, and many editorials reveal considerable interest in the far abroad, especially in what was happening in Russia, and to Russia, through the impact of World War I and by the consequences of the long-term and deeply ingrained radical socialist movement. My interest in this other side of the “sage of Emporia” stemmed from learning of his “surprise” appointment by President Woodrow Wilson as one of two American delegates to the aborted Prinkipo Conference in early 1919.2 A subset of the Paris Peace Conference, this was an attempt by the peacemakers at Paris to bring the various Russian political factions, including the Bolsheviks, together to try to sort out their differences in a neutral setting.

I begin, then, thanking all of those professors and teaching assistants who helped cultivate my interest in history and my skills as a historian. I am especially grateful to those faculty members who aided me in this project. Professor Kobrin, my thesis seminar instructor, and Professor Amar, my second reader, were both tremendously helpful as I navigated my way through a research project of this size for the first time. Their efforts have clearly enhanced my own, and their dedication to my project is sincerely appreciated. I also appreciate the generous help of the staff of the Rare Books and Manuscripts Library here at Columbia. I am thankful to my fellow thesis seminar classmates who spent time each week to read my work even as they had their own theses to complete. Learning and writing with them was a pleasure. Finally, I am indebted to my parents and sisters for all that they do for me.
