Scenes ot tho wildest disorder marked today's session of tho United Mine Workers of America.

Governor Johnson pointed out tho many laws In which women of California led the fight; tho eight-hour law, tho Im migration bill, the red light abatement bill, teachers' and mothers' pension and workmen's compensation. For all these Governor Johnson gave the women much credit But do not think." he said, "that I have come here to compliment you alone. You havo brought to politics a new era, hut you have many of the faults under which rntn suffer. "Tou like tho limelight. You are al most ns vain as men. "Somo of you arc prejudiced and harsh. "In short you are exactly the tamo as your brethren except for one thing. They bring a fetich of tradition to politics you think only of the concreto present And in that fact lies much of your power. "I can remember when government was an Intangible thing; when one thought of it as somu vague power. Women havo done more than change laws; they have mado ot government a common ordinary useful thing. "With women has arlren a new phil osophy of government; a world wide Philosophy which belongs to no party, no sect, nor no sex. This new philosophy believes that the government's purposo Is to make pcoplo happier; to make them better; that tho only successful govern ment Is ono which docs this."
