/ have the hQuor Of being the FIRST
woman organizer In this country, APP
pointed by the American Federation Of
Labor In course of time We shall
have all the women workers Of she
country banded together 10 advance
their interests and defend their rights
as the male workers In the different
trades are organized at Tho present
time.
As ! reside IN the West. the first
work Of organizing the women com
ncnced there Ia january, 1901, the
women book-bnders Of Chicago
formed union. Since then the shirt
makers. the cloak makers The shoe op-
orators aud the tickmukers have
formed societies. Each union has a
code Of bylaws. very similar 10 that Of
the men, but II Is made as simple as
possible. In fact, we adopt the eX-
trcmc democratic rule of having Just
US little law ~ Is necessary for self
protection
The dues are 81 year. or
90 ceuts payable every three months
The advantages Of women workers
being organized have already been
made apparent Quite recently the
women shOe-wOrkers nave won a
strike OF three months duration in
Chicago.
The strike originated IN this way:
The pay Of the men workers was re-
duccd. They stiuck and their places
were filed OF least in one establish
nicnt by others Then The 200 women
IN the factory struck Both men aud
women remained out for three months.
completely tying up the factory The
result was a victory: The fresh work
ets were discharged. and all the old
hands invited back This victory. one
Of the most remarkable of its kind.
was brought about by the action OF the
2ln women
Another illustration: Since the
female book-bndcrs OF Chicago were
organized their pay has been Increased
s. n week. They did not strike. Know
INK That their services were worth
more pay, they simply asked for am
increase and h. WIS given them:
instead Of receiving 81 and SO dollars

receive - and $40. This result was
brought about solely through the power Of
organization

As women are the principal sufferers
from the sweating system. as fast as
tbey are organized and gain power they
VIII naturally seek. by whatever means
thoy can. to eXterninatc the evil.
Two facts are 10 be- especially noted
in connection with the efforts to bring
about industrial organization of women.
II must br admitted that sometimes we
meet with ,sOme difficulty in getting

itate 90 join q movement Of this kind
snying, "Oh, We are only working for
the time being. You don't suppose we're
going 10 stick at trade all our liyesI
We are going 80 get married..
All this Is quite natural or. rather,
u w quite natural for a woman TO look
forward TO marriage. but while she Is

These remarks only apply 10 that class

their support and who ure the ones

on my part 10 induce them to join unions.
To he young woman whose gaze il set
ON the cOuuuhial horizon ! use the argu-
mcut jur advanced, and nearly always
with good result
The second characteristic about
women workers. and probably the most
hopeful sign in regard 90 their indus
trial future. is that when they are once
organized for any purpose they stick
together. If they once so ont on

a TARIFF INCIDENT.

The ways and means committee Of the

by delegation of fifteen working men
from Philadelphia and Newark few days
ago. Joseph Stewart, OF Philadelphia,
was at the head of the committee and he
said they represented 100000 people in
terested in various textile manufactures,
and they asked that the tariff on wool be
undisturbed. Representative Turnor, of
Georgia, undertook to sound the work
ingmen on tho whole question of the
tariff and the hot-shot replies which Mr..
Stewart and his companions gave to
these queries made the ways and means
committee fairly sQuirm. In a few
words they nonpulsed the committee
and had them practically at their mercy
Mr.. Stewart reviewed the subject from
the standpoint of the American laborer
with ability and with such force as tNs
