HAS A Personal GRIEVANCE
It Led Mr.. Blake to Attack The Times
Before the Federation.
THEY HAD A HOT DEBATE
With Few Others He Opposed q
DenunciatiOn of the Rochester
Meetings. ActiOn-His Accusations
OF This Paper Warmly Denied by
the Majority.

The question Of condemring the action
OF the General Assembly of the knights
OF Labor in placing The Times on the uh. air
list provoked a very spirited discussion III
at the meeting of the local Federation OF
Labor, held last evening at Plasterers
Hall.
There was large attendance and Presi-
dent McHugh was IN the chair.
The matter WAS brought up on motion
OF Secretary Maiaens, VINO moved that the
Federation should in most emphatic terms
condemn the aCtiDn taken by the General
Assembly in reference u The Washington
Times and members Of District Assembly,
No 80, knights ofLabor, as unwarranted
and uncalled for- This gave several mem-
bers the opportunity long-looked for, and
without mincing matters The Times and
Its editor We're attacked and denounced
as arbitrary Ill Their methods OF dealing
with organized labor in the District.
Stk. bLAkE'S CHARdfS.
Not only was 1t alleged that The Times
had not been true to the interests of the
working people, but in several Instances
Its course in dealing with matters effect
their advancement was decidedly injurious
and unjust.
alter some skrmiShing over Mr.. Maid
ems resolution, Mfr. Frank Dent, dele
gate from the Street Railway Assembly,
moved TO table This was the first def
mite outspo Zen opposition TO the res
oiution and was backed UP by anonslaught
on The Times and its editor by Delegate
b NJ Blake. Mr.. Blake did not mince his
words
Not only was he moved, he said, by
principle to take the stand he did, but
he also had personal score to wipe out.
Mr Blake cited one of the inst a noes in which
he claimed that The Times had been un-
just to local labor but his statement of the
case was denied by members on the floor
AT the conclusion OF Mr. Blake's speech
1t was suggested that the matter had
better tc laid over until District Assem-
Dly GO had taken some action. This
course was generally approved and the
molten to table prevailed

MAMIE VOIGT is MISSING
Young Wife of a Navy Yard Employe
Leaves Home.
Domestic Trouble Was the Cause
and There Are Hints of
Another Man.
Where is Mrs. Mamie yoigt?

Where is Mrs. Mamie yoigt?
That is what her husband, Frederick p.
Voigt, a ma"hnist, employed at the navy
yard gun shops and residing at No. 3l3
First street southeast, would like To know.
II she is alive his friends say he viii
seek divorce, If she is dead, as he re-
Gently had occasion to believe, he would
like to be advised of the fact.
The missing wife is the daughter Of
John Ward, for twenty-one years the chief
engineer oil the District jail, and who
lives at No l2l Eleventh street south
east. She is described as twenty-five
years old. small i'll stature, with dark
hair, and big, brown eyes, and rather
atuhctiNe III appearance Suigt is n
German, and man of temperate habits
and good standing, it is said, while mis-
wife Is an American girl, and according
to the same authority is given more or
less to waywardnesS.
Her father, ii is said, objected to the
marriage, and to ohviate parental inter
ference the young lovers Went To Baiti-
more, and there the knot was tied Sep
tember %, 1894.
When the couple returned from Balti-
more and announced their marriage John
Ward, the girls father, was very much
incensed andat once set about tn ascertain
If the marriage was a legal one. Upon
learning that there was no doubt but that
the couple were duly welded he quietly
acquicsccd TO the inevitable, but gave little
need TO the young people.
They went TO live with Mrs. Voigt, but
their married life Was not happy one
In six months there was separations
the wife returning TO her fathers home,
which he opened To her. ~.
Until last August she was employed in
downtown steam laundry. Then she
suddenly departed for Atlantic City, os-
tensibly to secure employ nent there.
Friends of the husband intimate that she
had eloped with man named Rceber,
but nothing can he found OF him. Since
then nothing has been heard from her

but his investigation has proven of no
avail, as 1t is not probable that the dead
woman is his wife.
The father OF the girl places no de
pendencc in the report that the woman
found in Paterson is his daughter. and
