What the Feather Workers Branch OF tho
Working women's Society Demands.
Within the last month the Feather Work.
ers' Branch OF the Working Women's Society
has been organized. Its chief aim is the
abolishment OF night work. The society now
numbers 1000 working women and every
evening delegates from shops not previously
represented ask to be admitted. Last Friday
night the delegates met at Cooper Union and
decided on scale Of wages which should be
adopted by their union. number OF manu-
facturers have already accepted this scale.
The society will make firm stand on Jan. Is
against all manufacturers who have not ac-
cepted this scale. The union is organized by
shops. 1t is governed by n central Board COM
posed of delegates from each shop. There is
also in each shop a collector to see that all
dues are paid. Miss Ida Van Etten. the head
of the Working Women's Society. who has been
instrumental in organizing the Feather Work.
Il think the b't organization Of this society is
going to strike blow at night work. 1t is o
subject which ought TO be agtated. In all the
or less night work. The factory law limiting
the working hours for women and children is
H Women land and girls Who 1 are leather workers,
take it as a matter OF course that they should
work until midnight. and IN many cases have
ing to finish their work. When the feather in
dustry was first established in this coun-
try the women made large wages. They
began to work nights that they, might
work nights to purchase the necessaries
Of life. In addition to, the long hours
there is the strain of doing rapid piece
work. 1t is breaking down u good many young
girls. and IL is becoming such a general evil
that the subject demands public discussion; n;
in favor of nigh; work i keeps number Of
price OF labor II seemed best to us to make
two isspes in his matter We shall first get
attempt to have night work abolished. The
movement will be felt In all the trades where
night work is done. There are 100000 working
women in New York city. many Of whom think
that night work is n necessity: but the women
in the feather business are now beginning to
see the evils of night work. What We want is q
fair discussion of this subject. 1t does not aid
starved, They. are not but they, are being
broken down with night work. and he evil is a
serious one. The Feather Workers Branch of
the Working Women's Society is increasing
every night and we are very hopeful that 1t
will achieve its ends"

past few years have lived Titus Strong and his
wife Lydia Ann. Strong is negro about 80
years old. He owns the house. His wife. who

There was u cash under her chin that pene-
trated into her mouth. Campbell and Norman
were arrested. An inquest was held early yes
terday morning by Coroner Bennett. An au-
topsy was made and II was ascertained that the
wound In the chin was not necessarily fatal:
Carbol;c acid WAS found in the stomach. A
bowl was found In the house which contained
mixture of carbolic acid and coffee. There was
also a whiskey flask containing quantity Of

self" The prisoners were discharged.
