Slaves of the Forge.

0FO" sC N'"t
A despatch from Birmingham, Eng
land, states that strong efforts are
being made to bring public sentiment
to bear on the employment of women
in smithies near that city.
These women work alongside of the
men, stripped almost to the waist, in
an atmosphere too hot almost for
human endurance, and weld ham
mers which it costs them an effort to
lift. Man and wife will be working to-
gether and their children sometimes
crawling among their feet. The
women earn SLIP per week and the
men about double that sum-. They
are paid a little better for chain
making. They say that it takes their
Joint earnings to enable them to
live, but as the women are paid less
than the men nan and wife are
brought into a singular competition,
and if the women did not work the
mems wages would be higher. Owing
to the nature of the work mothers are
unhealthy, and there is frightful NOR
tality among the children.
The men and women live together
in the same room and morality is at a
low ebb. The cottages in which they
live are miserable affairs, and as the
ground GU which they build is under
mined it sometimes caves in and the
cottage, with its living contents. goes
down. They can only afford meat
once a week, their food generally
being bread, ole~omargarine, weak tea
and potatoes. In the Grady Heath
districts there 357 female blacksmiths,
whose condition is worse than that of
slavery.

Is the Baby Well?


Every mother should be conversant
with certain obvious phenomena
which attest the presence of health.
The absence or presence of such phe-
nomena is a danger signal. Thus the
facy of a healthy infant wears during
sleep an expression of absolute repose.
The eyelids are completely closed, the
lips are slightly parted, and there is
no visible movement of the nostrils.
Any variation from this state of things
should be needed with care, if not
anxiety. Incomplete closure of
the eyelids, rendering the whites
of the eyes visible during sleep,
is a symptom in all acute and
chronic diseases of a severe type. 1t is
also observable when rest is rendered
unsound by pain. Twitching Of the
eyelids, associated with oscillation Of
the eyeballs or squinting, heralds the
visit of commissions. A widening of
the o~rifices of the nose, with Migratory
movements of the nostrils, points to
embarrassed breathing from disease of
the lungs. Contraction of the brows
indicates pain in the head, sharpness
of the nostrils pain in the chest, and a
drawn upper lip pain in the abdomen.
All these warnings are derivable from
the appearance of the face alone.

WAS MIR. BRENSINGER MALIGNEDP
The Investigating Committee Finds Moth
ing Against Him.

The Investigating Committee Finds Moth
ing Against Him.
The Committee appointed by the Board
of Education to investigate the conduct
of Principal Brensinger, of School No. 8,
who it was rumored was intoxicated and
unfit to perform his duties as a principal
one morning in May, are pushing the mat
ter for all it is worth, but have thus far
failed to find any one to make a single
charge.
On the morning in question rumor
were flying on the streets in the n%eighbor-
hood of the school that the principal had
appeared in the schoolroom and put all
his class through a course of c~alesthenics
that utterly amazed even the average
pupil: that the scholars rebelled, and
chaos; that the principal sat around after
ward in a stupid manner, half doing.
A reporter from The JERSEY CITY
NEWS was sent around to ascertain the
correctness of the rumor. He saw the
principal himself; chatted with him and
other teachers in the same department,
and returned, stating that nothing was
the matter with Principal Brensinger.
Another reporter sought an interview
with one of the lady teachers, who hesitat-
ingly told him she aid not care to be in
tervlewed upon the subject; which would
seem to indicate that something was the
matter with Principal Brensinger.
Another teacher, when asked if the ru-
mors were true, was greatly surprised,
and fatty denied the stories, and several
boys, when questioned as to whether they
had had any fun in school that morn
ing, did not seem to know what the re-
porter was driving at.
Superintendent Poland, whom rumor
says had been sent for, was present that
poorninp ta1kn6 with tho priOcipo1 yyae
shown the efficiency of the scholars in
calisthenics, and saw nothing wrong, ex-
cepting that the principal looked some
what sleepy, which was explained to be
the result of medicine taken for a com
plant from which Mr.. Brensinger has
been a sufferer since the war. He ever
saw the bottle from which the medicine
was taken, and is in a position to know
that its effects are precisely those eXhlb-
tied by Principal Brensinger on the
morning in question.
The ~janitor says the principal climbed
a ladder and set q clock that morning, a
feat which no man could perform ii he
were under the influence of liquor.
Director Kelly is chairman of the Com
mittee of Investigation.
we are pushing the inquiry" said he,
"and@if we find any truth in the rumors
it is likely Principal ~Brensinger viii have
to go. So far we have found hone. Nor
can we find any one who Will make q
charge. But the committee cannot under
stand what on earth gave rise to the ru-
mors. We are investigating the medi'
cine story"
Another committeeman refused to say
what the committee is doing, but he eX
pressed his belief that "Where there is sc
much smoke there must be some fire."
The committee will report to the Board
next Tuesday evening.

ABOUT AMERICAN WOMEN.
MAX O'RELL SIYS SOME PLEAS
Ant WORDS OF THEM.
Beauty on This Side of the Water Con-
sists in Intelligence and Beaming
Ac~tivity-They Get Better Treatment
Over Here Thar in France, Even.
Mo1 R in the Forum.


Over Here Than in France, Even.
MoT O'ReH in the Forum.
That which struck me most in
America, from first to last, is the
total absence of stupid-looking faces.
All are not handsome, but all are in
telligent and beaming with activity.
In my opinion, it is in this that Amer
lean beauty mainly consists. In the
large cities of the East the first thing
which caught my attention was the
thinness of the men and the
plumpness of the women. This
seemed to hint that the former
lived in a furnace of activity and
the latter in cotton wool. This i'm
preston soon deepened into a convic-
ton. 1t seemed to me that her lot was
az near to being perfection as an
earthly lot could be. A respect
amounting to reverence is shown for
her, and it appears to be the chief aim
of her protectors to surround her with
luxury and make her path through
life a sunny one.
So far as adding to her mental and
physical grace goes, this plan OF max
ing every oma an uncrowned
queen has answered completely.
Seeing her high position, she
has set herself to work to fill it be-
comingly, and it is the cultivation of
Americas daughters, it is their charm
ing independence and a conscientious
ness of their power, that made them
so attractive, and render American
society so delightful to the stranger.
In the treatment of women, the
Americans might give more than n
lesson to the men of the Old World,
even to the Frenchmen, who, in the
matter of politeness, lives a good deal,
| am afraid, on the reputation of his
ancestors. The respect for women
in America seemed to me to be
perfectly disinterested, purely pla-
tonic. In France this respect almost
borders ON gallantry. A Frenchman
will always stand back to let a woman
pass, but he will generally profit by
the occasion to take a good look at
her.
If an outsider be competent to form
an opinion l venture to say that the
American woman does not render to
man a 1.-THE of the devotion she re-
ceives from him. A French wife re-
pays a husbands devotion by protect
ing his interest-an American too
often repays it by breaking into his
capital.

Johnstown. This should not be.
What Can We Do?

"If you want to get people to assist
you in doing anything you must first
show them what you a do" said the
Rev. Mr.. Moffat, rector of the Church
Of the Holy Innocents, in Hoboken.
Mr.. Moffat was speaking of the
movement which has made such adj
mirable progress in his congregation
to open a summer home for the sick
children of the parish.
Well now, let us see what we can
do in Jersey City, if we only try. For
two hundred and fifty dollars, or less,
we can organize an excursion for deli
cate women and girls, and mothers
with children. We can distribute
tickets through the churches, the
charities and the doctors of the city.
We a give 200 persons the benefit
of the days sail. We can feed them
w~holesomely for the day, and give
them a draught of fresh air that will
brace them up for a good many swell
tering days and nights of tenement
life.
There it is in a NUTSHELL, 200 peo-
pie; $3.50.
Is it not worth while trying?

From lie Nelo BTllnSlclck Times.
The democratic nomination for
Governor doesn't belong to any man.
In the ranks of the Democracy of this
State there are many men well quail
fed and capable of filling the position
of Governor. The nomination does
not belong to any man, and it will not
go to any individual because it is his
by right. The nomination should be
equivalent to an election and the man
who receives this honor at the hands
of his party must be worthy to receive
it. Democracy and democratic prin-
ciples are always to be considered be-
fore men.

A CentraI Labor Assembly

.
The labor organizations of Hudson
County appear to be endowed with
unusual wisdom in the conduct OF
their affairs. Within the past three
months, they have conducted a diff
cult negotiation with the employers
of the County, and have attained a
gratifying success. In the discussion
of the nine-hours proposition, indeed,
both sides behaved with a GOODNESS
and a liberality that were altogether
praiseworthy.
On Thursday night the representa-
tives of the labor bodies took up an
other important work. They held a
discussion upon the expediency of
forming a Central Labor Assembly
for the County, in which, all trades
being united might naturally aid and
support each other.
Well organized, and well conducted,
nothing can be more useful than such
a body. Organization is the main
source of strength in our modern
civilization, and there is no section of
the community which has more need
to make it's full force felt from time to
time than the great body of workers.
Two dangers, however, have in
the past beset such organizations as it
is proposed to establish in our midst
lone, the abuse of power; the other,
its misdirection by selfish and I'M
scrupulous parties.
OF the former danger, it would
seem, there is less reason to be afraid
than usual. Our labor organizations
have shown such self-restraint, that
we do not fear they will turn the new
influence gained through their con-
solidation to unjustifiable ends.
Power is the most sacred trust that is
confided to mankind by Providence,
and we feel that our thoughtful peo-
pie are we'll aware of the high moral
responsibility that rests upon them to
use theirs only for the best advantage
of the greatest number.
Nor do we indeed fear anything
from the other danger to which we
have alluded. The delegates, gath
cred on Thursday night, expressed
themselves in very plain terms son
corning those politicians who pretend
to be the workingman's friends only for
their own profit. The delegates were
right in their distrust Of these gentry.
They must hold them at arms length.
The appearance Of such men in a
labor movement invariably means dis
t~ortion, disrepute and destruction.
But If our friends keep clear of these
evils, if they use their power for their
and the general good with wis
dom and moderation, if they keep
politics and politicians aloof from
their organization, then we predict
for them a career of usefulness which
will do them honor, and will reflect
advantages upon the entire com
munity.
