The Matter Called to the Attention
of the w. &. T. u.

A letter has been sent to a prominent
worker in the ranks of the District Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union by a
well-known labor leader of this city ask
ing her to call the attention of that body
to the condition of the women who work
in most of the laundries of the District,
with the view of having movement start
ed which, 1t is hoped, will result in the
speedy betterment of their surroundings
during the hours of employment.
The letter says: There are two large
laundries in Washington lhe proprietors of
which, so far can be learned, work the
employees under far more unfair condi-
tions than any other laundries in the city.
''One of these employs about twenty fe-
males, white and colored. who are paid
s. per week, and are worked from 80 in
| the morning to hours near midnight, with
out extra compensation.
1.-The work Is generally very laboriouS
and unhealthy, particularly in the 'mangle'
room, in which the clothing is subjected to
a boiling process in boxes from which are
emitted volumes of steam, which fill the
room, and heat it to a very uncomfortable
degree. This room at one of the laundries
referred to is contracted, has a low ceiling
and is not sufficiently ventilated.
The conditions at the other laundry are
much the same. Forty or fifty females
are employed there, and frequently they
are required to work as long as twenty
hours per day, usually not less than six
teen. Unlike the laundry first mentioned.
the proprietors are supposed to pay 10
cents an hour for extra time, but II is
said that this extra compensation is sell
dom paid, and If demanded results in the
discharge of the employe. There is an
other difficulty in estimating the amount
of extra pay due, and that is the indefinite
length of a work day in the concern, it
beirg the rule for the employe to work
until ordered to quit by the management.
1t is said that this rule and another
imposing hard continuous labor and abso-
Lutte obedience to those having supervision
constitute the working code which is
strictly enforced in these concerns.
I'm several instances they have been ad-
vised to organize, and thus attempt to
obtain better conditions, but the employ
ers will not permit this, and if any of these
unfortunate employees would attempt to do
SO, summary dismissal would follow"

How l wish could be with the alumni

THE Providence which has located me in
the eternal city, and given me here my
future field of usefulness. has in no way
diminished my love for all the dear friends
and all the sacred interests which 1 have
left i'll America.
ION the contrary, these interests and the
welfare of those friends are the special OBJ
ject which Providence has here intrusted
to my charge, and my devotedness TO them
is none the less, but all the greater, be-
cause of the distance that now lies be-
tween us.
Chief among the religious interests OF
my country, still consider, and always
shall consider. the Catholic University OF
America. The future of religion In
America depends upon the Intellectual and
moral power that will be brought to bear
upon its advancement.
ITO make that Intellectual and moral
power just Wnal the f'TONlueuSc Va ooN NC
mands in response to the special needs OF
the age in our country, is the one object for
which the university was established, ana
to the realizing of which its efforts must
ever be devoted.
ITO its alumni especially must that OBJ
iect be ever dear and sacred. In their
various fields of labor throughout the coun-
try its advancement must be ever their
daily purpose, and when they come togeth-
er in annual reunion their chief object
must be to refresh their spirit In the IN
spiration of that purpose, and to go forth
with renewed devotedness to all that its
realiza ton demands of them
God bless the university! God bless Its
alumni
While the dinner was very enjoyable af-
fair, there were no set toasts. Speeches
were made. however, by Rev. DIR. I. j..
