# Woman of the Century/Frances Hodgson Burnett

​BURNETT, Mrs. Frances Hodgson, novelist, born in Manchester, England, 24th November, FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT. 1849. She lived in Manchester until 1864. acquiring that familiarity with the Lancashire character and dialect which is so noticeable in her works of later years. Her parents suffered financial reverses in 1865, her father died, and the family came to the United States. They settled in Knoxville, Tenn., and afterwards moved to New market, Tenn. Mrs. Hodgson took a farm, w here her two sons and three daughters could work and earn their bread. Frances began to write short stories, the first of which was published in a Philadelphia magazine in 1867. She persevered and soon had a market for her work, "Peterson's Magazine." and "Godey's Lady’s Book," publishing many of her stories before she became famous. In 1872 she contributed to "Scribner's Magazine" a story in dialect. "Surly Tim's Trouble." which scored an immediate success. Miss Hodgston became the wife of Dr. Luan M. Burnett, of Knoxville, in 1873. They made a long tour in Europe and, returning in 1875, made their home in Washington, D. C., where they now reside. Her famous story, "That Lasso' Lowrie's." created a sensation as it was published serially in "Scribner's Magazine." It was issued in book form (New York. 1877), and it found a wide sale, both in the United States and in Europe, running through many editions. On the stage the dramatized story was received with equal favor. In 1878 and 1879 she republished some of her earlier stories, which bad appeared in various magazines. Among those are "Kathleen Mavourneen." "Lindsay's Luck," "Miss Crespigny." "Pretty Polly Pemberton" and "Theo." These stories had appeared in a Philadelphia magazine, and had been published in book form, without her permission, b\ a house in that city, a proceeding which caused a controversy in public. Her plots were pillered by dramatists, and all the evidences of popularity were showered upon her. Her later novels, "Haworthy (New York, 1879). "Louisiana" (New York, 1881), "A Fair Barbarian" (New York, 1882), and "Through One Administration" (New York, 1883), have continued her reputation. But her greatest success, on the whole, has been won by her "Little Lord Fauntleroy," which first appeared as a serial in "St. Nicholas," in 1886. It was subsequently published in book form and was dramatized, appearing on the English and American stages with great success. Mrs. Burnett is very fond of society, but her health is too delicate to enable her to give time to both society and literary- work. She has been a sufferer from nervous prostration, and since 1885, has not been a voluminous writer. Sue has published "Sara Crewe" (New York, 1888), "Editha's Burglar" (Boston, 1888), and "Little Saint Elizabeth" and other stones (New York, 1890). Mrs. Burnett is the mother of two sons, one of whom died at an early age. Despite her long residence abroad, she calls herself thoroughly American.
# Woman of the Century/Frances Elizabeth Peirce

​PEIRCE, Miss Frances Elizabeth, elocutionist and educator, born on her father's place, Bellevue, eighty miles from Detroit, Mich., 11th August, 1857. She is the only child of Dr. James L. and Rachel M. Peirce. When she was nineteen months old, her parents removed to Fallsington, Pa. Her father's health failed from overwork in his profession, and they sought a home in Philadelphia, Pa., when she was in her seventh year. Her early education was entirely under her father's care, and, while thorough, it was in some ways very peculiar. She learned her letters from the labels upon her father's medicines and could read their Latin names before she could read English. Miss ​Peirce never entered a school-room before her thirteenth year, when she was sent to the University School, which was under the care of the University of Pennsylvania. After studying there for two and FRANCES ELIZABETH PEIRCE. one-half years, and being number one in her classes the entire time after the first six months, her desire and taste for elocution attracted the attention of the late Prof. J. W. Shoemaker. He induced her parents to place her under his instruction, and she received from him more than ordinary care and attention, graduating in 1878 from the National School of Elocution and Oratory, of which he was president. She then accepted the position of lecturer on vocal technique in that institution, that department having been organized especially for her, but at the end of three years, her own teaching having increased so rapidly, she was compelled to relinquish all outside work and devote herself to a school of elocution which she had opened in Philadelphia. In 1880 she established the Mt. Vernon Institute of Elocution and Languages in that city, erecting a building to suit her purposes. In 1884 the institute received a perpetual charter from the State. By dint of persistent effort and "hold-on-ativeness," as she expresses it, she has raised the school to its present high standing among the educational institutions of the country. A board of five directors constitutes the management of the school, and with it is also connected the Mt. Vernon Institute Association, consisting of fifty- four members, twenty-five of whom form an advisory board. As a teacher she is preeminently fitted for her position, possessing as she does the innate faculty of discovering the capabilities and possibilities of her pupils, and of being able to adapt remedies to their faults, wherewith most quickly to overcome bad habits of delivery. Owing to her constant practice of physical exercises, Miss Peirce enjoys the best of health, and in the twelve years of her teaching has never once, through sickness, failed to fulfill her duties. All that she undertakes is pervaded by a high and noble purpose and firm resolution, and her niche in the world has been ably filled.
# Woman of the Century/Frances Laughton Mace

​MACE, Mrs. Frances Laughton, poet, burn in Orono, Me., 15th January, 1836. Her maiden name was Laughton. In 1837 her family moved to Foxcroft, Me., where Frances was reared and educated. She studied in the academy in that town. She was a bright, active, intelligent girl, and at the age of ten years was studying Latin and other advanced branches. At the age of twelve years she wrote verses that were published, and her talents in that line were cultivated and developed. The family moved to Bangor, Me., and there she was graduated in the high school and took a course in German and music with private teachers. She published poems in the New York "Journal of Commerce." At the age of eighteen she published her famous hymn. "Only Waiting," in the Waterville "Mail." Others attempted to claim the ​authorship of that hymn, but she proved her right to it, beyond all doubt, in 1878, after it had been rated as a classic. In 1855 she became the wife of Benjamin F. Mace, a lawyer of Bangor, remaining in that FRANCES LAUGHTON MACE. city until 1885, when they removed to San José, Cal., where they now reside. Four of the eight children born to them died. When the latest- born had entered its second year, her fountain of poetry, which had run mostly underground during twenty years, sprang up afresh, and "Israfil" was written, appearing with illustrations in "Harper's Magazine," winning for her quick recognition and advancing her toward the front rank of singers. Since then her poems have found place in the leading magazines and journals In 1883 she published a collection of poems in a volume entitled "Legends, Lyrics and Sonnets," soon followed by a second edition, enlarged and extended. In 1888, a volume of her latest work was published with the title "Under Pine and Palm," adding to her reputation.
# Woman of the Century/Frances Elizabeth Fryatt

​FRANCES ELIABETH FRYATT. FRYATT, Miss Frances Elizabeth, author and specialist in art as applied to the house, was born in New York City, but spent her girlhood in the country. In her childhood she wrote for pleas re and chiefly in verse, taking up literature as a life-work on the death of her father, Horatio N. Fryatt, who had written able articles on science, law and finance during the intervals of his busy life as a New York merchant. After the death of her father, the family removed to the city. She commenced to write for New York newspapers, the "Evening Post," the "Commercial Advertiser," the "Tribune" and the " Daily Graphic," a line of work soon relinquished for the more congenial field of magazine literature. An article entitled "Lunar Lore and Portraiture." written for the "Popular Science Monthly" and published in August, 1881, involved extended reading and research. About 1S79 she became a contributor to "Harper's Magazine," the "Independent," the "Churchman," the "Illustrated Christian Weekly." the "Art Age" and later to "Harper's Young People" and "Wide Awake." In 1881 she commenced the work which, carried up to the present day. has made her a specialist, writing articles for the "Art Interchange " on art applied to the house, including monographs on embroidery, glass painting and staining, wood-carving, painting on china, designing for carpets and wall-paper, schemes of exterior and interior coloring and decoration from architects' plans and sketches. She wrote all the answers to queries on house-furnishing and decoration published by the "Art Interchange" during the last ten years, as well as the answers to numberless queries on a great variety of subjects. In 1886 Miss Fryatt became editor-in-chief of the " Ladies' World," a monthly devoted to the home, conducting eight of its departments, and writing all the editorials and most of the technical articles up to the present day. Miss Fryatt had previously occupied the positions of ​assistant editor and art-editor of the "Manhattan Magazine" of New York. Among other work not mentioned may be included Miss Fryatt's articles on art-industry and notes on the fine arts. A few years ago she retired to a suburb of Brooklyn, on account of failing health, and built "Fairhope," the cottage in which she now resides. There she has her private editorial office and library. She keeps up her interest in various humanitarian movements. A lover of children, old people and animals, she delights in their companionship, their helplessness and responsiveness appealing strongly to her emotional nature, and her pen is active in the humanitarian movements in their behalf. In 1891 Miss Fryatt was elected president of the Ladies' Art Association of New York, and she was reelected in May, 1892.
# Woman of the Century/Frances Fuller Victor

​VICTOR, Mrs. Frances Fuller, author, born in Rome. N. Y., 23rd May, 1826. Her maiden name was Fuller. Her father was of an old Colonial family, some of whom were among the FRANCES FULLER VICTOR. founders of Plymouth. She has on her mother's side a long line of titled and distinguished ancestry, descending through thirty-nine generations from Egbert, the first king of all England. The last titled representative of this line was Lady Susan Clinton, the wife of General John Humfrey, deputy-governor of the Massachusetts Bay Company, chartered in 1628 by Charles I. Lady Susan's granddaughter married Captain Samuel Avery, of New London, Conn., and their daughter, Mary, married William Walworth, of Groton, who was a descendant of the William Walworth, Lord Mayor of London, who was knighted by Richard II for slaying Wat Tyler in defense of the king. This English ancestry became mixed with the sturdy Welsh blood of the Williamses, the founders of liberty on this continent. Mrs. Victor's mother was Lucy Williams, her grandmother a Mary Stark, of the race of General Stark, and her great-grandmother, Lucy Walworth, a granddaughter of William Walworth and a cousin of Chancellor Walworth, the last chancellor of New York. When Frances was nine years of age, she wrote verses on her slate in school, and arranged plays from her imagination, assigning the parts to her mates, to whom she explained the signification. At the age of fourteen she published verses which received favorable comment, and at the age of eighteen some of her poems were copied in English journals. At that time the family were living in Ohio, to which State her parents had removed, and it was a familiar boast of the Ohio press that the State had two pairs of poet sisters, the Carys and the Fullers. Frances and her sister Metta married brothers. The younger sister remained in the East, settling in the vicinity of New York City, and Frances followed her husband, then an officer in the naval service of the United States, to California. At the close of the Civil War he resigned and went to settle in Oregon. In that new world she began to study with enthusiasm the country and its history from every point of view. She wrote stories, poems and essays for California publications, which, if collected, would make several volumes. After the death of her husband, in 1875, she returned to California and assisted Mr. H. H. Bancroft on his series of Pacific histories, writing in all six volumes of that work, on which she was engaged for about eleven years. Subsequently she resumed book-making on her own account. Besides the great amount of literary work done by Mrs. Victor which has never been collected, she has published "Poems of Sentiment and Imagination" (New York, 1851); "The River of the West" (Hartford, 1870); "The New Penelope, and other Stories and Poems" (San Francisco, 1876); "All Over Oregon and Washington" (San Francisco, 1872), and "Atlantes Arisen" (Philadelphia, 1891), all of which, excepting the first volume of poems, deal with the history and the romance of the Northwest. Her home is in Portland, Ore.
# World Labor Unity/Chapter 5

V. The American Federation of Labor Breaks Away
Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor, wrote to Jan Oudegeest, Secretary of the Amsterdam International, on March 5, 1921, severing the connections of the American Federation of Labor with the Amsterdam International.
Three reasons were given for the action of the American Federation of Labor. First was that the new constitution of the Amsterdam International "abrogated the principle of complete autonomy for each national trade union Federation." The second reason was that “through the issuance of appeals and proclamations the Executive body of the International Federation had committed the Federation to a revolutionary principle to which the American Federation of Labor is and always has been uncompromisingly opposed and to which no labor movement guided by democratic ideals could give approval." The third objection related to the method of assessing dues for the support of the Amsterdam International.
The objections regarding autonomy and dues collection were disposed of by Mr. Gompers in a paragraph. "More serious than either of these questions is the conduct of the International officers during the months that have elapsed since the organiza​tion of the new international federation." These officers "have adopted and promulgated a policy calling for revolutionary action with the 'socialization' of industry as its objective. The American Federation of Labor is opposed to that policy and there can be no compromise between the two points of view."
The revolutionary viewpoint which gained control of the executive machinery of the International Federation of Trade Unions found its extreme manifestation in an appeal for revolutionary measures in aid of the Soviets, issued on September 8, 1919, which had been neither repudiated, modified, nor abandoned. From this appeal Mr. Gompers quoted the following language:
"The International Federation of Trade Unions calls upon all National Trade Union centres to prepare, if necessary, for mass action by means of a general strike (against war).
"'The production of war materials must cease in all countries. …'"
After citing other pronouncements of a similar nature Mr. Gompers wrote: "The American Federation of Labor denounces the revolutionary principles espoused by the executive officers of the International Federation of Trade Unions."
By this action the A. F. of L. divided the important labor movements of the world into three groups: the Amsterdam International, the Moscow International, and the A. F. of L. (or the Pan-American Federation of Labor, which includes several of the Latin-American countries). Though the Amsterdam International had the largest membership, it controlled, at best, only a minority of the world's labor movement.
# World Labor Unity/Chapter 8

VIII. British and Russian Unions Fraternize
Meantime a delegation from the Russian Trade Unions had visited the British Trades Union Congress at Hull in September, 1924, The delegation was given a hearty reception and the Trades Union Congress voted to send a return delegation to Russia in time for the All-Russian Congress of Trade Unions, which opened in Moscow November 11, 1924. A. A. Purcell, who had been a member of the British Trade Union Delegation to Russia in 1920 and who was then chairman of the British Trades Union Congress, headed the British Delegation to the Russian Congress.
In the course of its visit to Russia the British Delegation arranged for the organization of an Anglo-Russian Committee for the promotion of world unity in the trade union movement. Bramley, in his speech cited above, gives a report on these negotiations, including the British proposals for joint action on world labor unity.
The resolution passed by the Amsterdam General Council at its meeting (February 6–7, 1925) practically ended negotiations with Moscow. As soon as this decision was reported to the General Council of the British Trades Union Congress, the latter body immediately called an Anglo-Russian Trade Union Conference "for the purpose of discussing the difficulties arising from the Amsterdam International Council meeting." This Anglo-Russian Conference was held in London on April 6–8, 1925.
# World Labor Unity/Chapter 7

VII. Bramley's Amsterdam Speech
During the negotiations at the February 5–6 Amsterdam Conference, Bramley made a masterful appeal in favor of unity. In the course of this address he analyzed the negotiations between Amsterdam and Moscow: "Too much effort has been made to emphasize points of disagreement. That is not diplomacy. It is not sound business." He then pointed out that groups with conflicting interests could not hope for united action until they met in conference. His whole speech was a plea for such a conference. He said:
"We are not merely concerned about the position of the British section on this matter, We are internationalists, and we say this morning that a policy which may lead to the exclusion of a country as big and as important as Russia … would be disastrous and very, very unfortunate indeed."
After pointing out that he, Bramley, was "a member of the extreme Right Wing of the British Trade Union Movement," and therefore differed with the Russians both on theory and on tactics, he called attention to the remarkable constructive work ​being done among the Russian masses by the Russian trade unionists, whose leaders are "as steady, as constructive, as logical, as clear, and as well-informed as any trade union leaders that you will find in any part of the world."
Holding that "an all-inclusive international is desirable," he asked the Amsterdam General Council to agree to "a free and unconditional immediate conference with representatives of the Russian Trade Union Movement."
After listening to Bramley’s plea, the Council passed the Steinhuis-Smit resolution to the effect that the I.F.T.U. "is prepared to admit the All-Russian Federation of Trade Unions, when they express their desire to this effect." The resolution practically ended the hope for further negotiations as it meant that the Russian unions must abandon the R.I.L.U., join the I.F.T.U,, and then talk matters over.
