Page 6 The Battalion Monday, September 7,M k Lebanese face rough road to vote Final stage of nation's election brings heavy turnout, fewer political deaths THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AITA JEBEL, Lebanon - Vot ers in southern Lebanon passed through checkpoints and over bombed-out roads to reach heavi ly guarded ballot stations Sunday in the final stage of the first parlia mentary elections in 20 years. Police said they had no reports of violence despite initial fears of clashes between anti-Israeli fac tions and more moderate groups. Four election-linked deaths were reported in the two previous rounds of voting, a low figure in a nation recovering from a 15-year civil war that claimed 150,000 lives. Officials said more than half of the 500,000 eligible voters cast bal lots in the southern cities of Sidon, Tyre and Nabatiyeh and sur rounding villages, where 131 can didates vied for 23 seats. It was the heaviest turnout in the three-stage elections, boy cotted by right-wing Christians of the Maronite Catholic sect who have dominated power since Lebanon's independence from France in 1943. The narrow roads leading to the town of Aita Jebel were so jammed with cars that people trudged on foot under the swel tering sun to vote. Ali Dakroub rented his donkey for the half-mile trek from the vil lage of Tibnin to Aita Jebel at a cost of 45 cents a trip. "I wish I'd known we'd have a traffic jam," he said. "I'd have bought 10 donkeys. It's a good in vestment." Loudspeaker vans flying the yellow flags of Hezbollah, or Par ty of God, traveled the streets of southern villages, blaring reli gious songs and urging voters to support the fundamentalist fac tion. Muslim fundamentalists have won 14 seats and were expected to capture four more Sunday. The Syrian-backed government of President Elias Hrawi went ahead with the elections despite the boycott, prompted by fears that voting with 40,000 Syrian troops in north, east and central Lebanon would produce a rubber- stamp parliament that will turn Lebanon into a Syrian satellite.

Report says women work more than men, earn smaller salaries THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - From Ha vana to Oslo to Warsaw to Tokyo to your hometown, the complaint is the same: men aren't doing enough house work. The problem of women hav ing to dress the kids, wash the clothes, cook the meals, make the beds and take out the garbage — all before they go to work to earn less than men — is a worldwide inequity, accord ing to an International Labor Organization report. Even in Cuba, where a law requires men to help around the hacienda, 82 percent of all Havana women do all the do mestic chores, said the report released on Labor Day. In Nordic countries, a study cited in the report said, when men's working hours were re duced, they used the extra time for leisure activities rather than for housework or child care. "In Poland, even the youngest of married men do not help with the housework, while Japanese men spent only 15 minutes a day on chores around the house," said the re port by the U.N. agency. "Couch potato" husbands, who sit like vegetables and watch television while wives do the chores, have been a long time butt of jokes and feminine anger in the United States. Nearly everywhere in the world, women work harder and earn less then men, and the gap in many countries is widening, the report said. "Family responsibilities are at the heart of much discrimina tion against women," said Michel Hansenne, ILO director- general in Geneva, Switzerland. "Women are expected to stay at home to look after children and are then treated as second-class workers because of this." The differences between pa; ; for men and women widened it i both developing and industrial- j ized countries, despite decades I of efforts to push female equal!- , ty on the job, the report said. Women work more hours a ; week, including housework, than men in every part of & : world except North America j and Australia, the TLO repot: estimates. They work the hardest in Africa. The report estimates r; that African women work 6/ hours a week, compared to 53 i for men. In Asia, women work ?; 62 hours while men averaged? hours a week. In North America and Aus- [ tralia, men work 49 hoursa I week, while women work 475, | the report says. In Western Eu- ! rope, women average 48 hours, ! men 43; Japan's women work ■ 56 hours and men 54; in Lafe America, women work 60 hours to 54 for men. Australian women are at the top of the pay equality scale, with salaries increasing from 85 - percent of men's in 1980 to [ nearly 88 percent in 1988, the l most recent year for which fig- f ures are available. U.S. women's salaries in- ; creased from 60 percent of men's to 65 percent over about the same period, and Canadian 8 women increased their salaries I with nearly the same percent- ; ages. The TLO says two-thirds of new businesses in Canada i are being started by women. The ILO is reviewing policies [ and laws of countries through- i out the world that are supposed to ensure pay' equality.
