Women's Unions.

Miss Ida Van Etten, in connection with
the Working Women's society, of New
York, has been doing grand work re-
Gently in organizing the city's female
wageworkers, and she has but just be-
gun.
The movement was given impetus at
the close of the recent cloakmakers'
strike. Miss Van Etten succeeded in or
ganizing the female workers of that
trade into strong union, and since that
time has formed unions in the an-tobac-
co cigarette makers, suit makers, coat
makers, bookbinders', custom dress
makers, cigar makers, shirt makers
knee breeches makers and feather work
ers' trade.
A general headquarters, with reading
room and bureau of complaints, has
been established, and it is kept open from
10 a. IN. to 10 p. m, and central body
composed of delegates is about to be or
gained.
Miss Van Etten visited Cleveland q
short time ago, where she succeeded fair
ly well in organizing the working girls.

THE RICHMOND TERMINAL.

New YoRK, Dec AT q meeting OF TIE
directors of the Richmond Terminal COM
pany today, Eckstein Norton, eS-presiden'
of the Louisville and Nashville; William
Solomon Of Speyer & Co.; Jacob Il. Scnii
of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.; Charles S. Fairchild
president of the New York Security and
Trust company, and Louis Ftzerald, pres
dcnt of the Mercantile Trust company,
were appointed q committee to enquire in
to and examine the condition OF the prop
critics and to aid in pertccting the best
plan for the permanent adjustment OF
affairs.
Pending the adoption of this plan, the
present board of directors will be :c-elect-
ed at the annual meeting on December .,
but whenever the plan is adopted 1t IS III
tended to call q general meeting tor the
purpose of ratiiying ;he plan and the cleo
ton Of q permanent management.
President John H. Inman, after the
meeting. made the following statement
The general financial! conditions OF the
past year and the attacks upon our COM
pancs have depressed their securities.
The result is the railroad companies have
been unable to sell securities based upon
engagements they had made prior to the
period Of depression, and to pay for the
necessary equipment and Improvements.
A large floating debt has been created in
this way, but each of our railroad corpo-
rations is solvent and they have in their
treasures large amount OF securities.
The Terminal company owes 10 boating
debt whatever.
After maturely considering the whole
situation, VIC felt il was wise to invite Tue
gentlemen who form the committee 10 ana
US in pcrfcctng the best plan for the per-
manent adjustment of our affairs. | ain
convinced from Che careful study Of the
railroads comprising the Terminal system
that they are very valuable, and that under
a wise and conservative plan for paying
their floating debts, providing sufficient
fund for equipment and bcttcrments, and
of more perfectly consolidating their OPP
crations, their earnings can be increased,
and higher range OF values established
for all lines of securities.
George F. Baker, presiden! of the First
National bank, has been invited to act on
the committee.

The Crisp men are giving Mr.. Springer
kind of ft-handed support. 1t is their
policy, whenever 4 man is found nonco

Springer where, it is evident he will not
vote for Crisp. In this way Mr.. Springcr's
strength has been somewhat augmented,
and the men thus secured are prevented
from going over to Mills.

that his other opponents will speedily drop
out Of the fight, leaving him master Of
the situation.

The Future OF New southern Towns.

There has been Il good deal Of unjust
complaint among Eastern and other Amer
lean investors in Southern town and man
ufacturing enterprises. The critics in
most cases forget that the projects were
their own or their neighbots' that the
Southern people had no connection with
them bepond selling the spectators land
on which to build theta towns, manuiac-
turing plants etc. These fault finders al
so fail to remember that they, or those
they assume to speak for, put in money
expecting to get it back doubled from one
10 ten or twenty times in 4 few days, weeks
or months, and failing in realizing u small
fortune suddenly from III Investment of a
few dollars, they ''sourcd on the country
aud "cussed out" It's people, though the
latter had nothing in the world 10 do with
the plans, and had not solicited anybody
| TO make ventures therein.
Now, it is our judgment that, with rare
exceptions, the new towns founded in tho
coal and iron region Of the South in the
| last two Or three years are ell needed; that
with conservative management in the fu-
ture they will GENE out in good shape If
spite OF reckless speculation among theil
founders.
Some OF these new ceEters, though SUI
