president-elect, but as president.
The address insisted upon revis-

monetary commission to revise the
law; demands closest economy in
all appropriations; pledges to do
all in his power to secure interna-
tional bimetallism; say the reve-

will be called in extra session

Fight Over Appropriation Bill.

Fight Over Appropriation Bill.
Boise, Idaho, March 5.-The
house devoted the entire day to the
fight over the appropriation bill,
and is holding a night session over
the measure, as it is supposed
that the senate will desire to give
the bill full consideration. It is
thought that an adjournment will
not be reached tomorrow night, as
planned.
In the senate the bill passed by
the house to prohibit gambling was
passed by vote of Is to A, with
an amendment adding imprison-
ment as punishment for violation
of the law, making it either fine
or imprisonment.
The house bill to remit penalties

interest per annum. The taxes
must be paid by July /.
The bill establishing a state
board of horticulture was passed

The afternoon was devoted to
consideration of one of the house
irrigotion bills, and the senate is
still at work on it tonight.

Dubois Parting Shot.

During the closing session of the
senate last week Dubois created q
sensational diversion by warning
his former republican associates
that they could not control the
next senate, and that the silver
republicans would never cooperate
with them while they chung to the
single gold standard. When ask
ed what he had against them,
Senator Dubois replied:
~ have this against them; that
while saying to us for years, I'VE
will help you make this fight for
silver you came out at St. Louis
as the advocates of the single gold
standard, and now you see what
you were warned of there; you lose
the coast senators. just as fast
as the people of that section have
an election for senator, just so fast
will a republican senator 60 down.
There have been seven senators
elected there to take the place of
seven republicans. One republic
can comes back out of the seven,
and I say to you, as the people
there have q chance to express
themselves, just SO fast will you
lose o. republican senator if you
cling to the single gold standard.
You cannot organize the next SEN
ate, nor can you organize any
other senate. AS we said at St.
Louis, the republican party is a
party which has written it's last
line ON the statute books of this
country. If you get your tariff
bill through it will not be by re-
publican votes. You cannot get
them; they do not belong to you,
and you will be further from get
ting them in the senate after two

WOMEN TOlLiNG IN IRON.
New Departure In . Pittsbur gh Rollins
MIL.

Nsv Departure In . Pittsbu rgh Rollins
MIL.
Six sturdy women in this city are cut
ting out line of work for the sex that
NAV have interesting effects on the
wage-earning opportunities for men,
saws Pittsburgh correspondent OF the
New York Press. Up to this time when
women have boldly entered fields hith-
erto monopolized by men those lines
of work have been chosen that called
for comparatively little physical effort.
Or, to put it in another way, the ambi-
tions of the new woman are intellectual
rather than physical. In the iron mills
here intelligent women are doing work
which heretofore has been done by
men or strong, growing young fellows
-'boys" they are called.
These six women are employed by
the Monongahcla Tin-Plate company to
manipulate the heavy iron sheets be-
fore the metal is trimmed.
Mrs. Hattie Williams WAS the first
woman to make the experiment. She is
the wife of hard working Welshman,
tinmalcr by trade. She knew some
thing of the work before she began,
for she had seen women working in the
mills and mines in Wales. Her exam
pie was soon followed by Ave other
women.
The labor at which these women
spend their time is termed Opening"
and the operatives are known as
''openers." The duties consist in sepa-
~ ~, - 1o1 sr>Ov~
after they leave the rolls, and preparing
them for the process of timing or being
soaked in molten tin. In rolling out
the iron sheets from which the tin
plate is made, the block plate, after
being given one pass through the
heavy rolls, is doubled and again sent
through, when it is once again doubled,
this being continued until, when the
plate is finished, it is made up of eight
sheets. These sheets, after being
sheared and then gradually cooled, are
separated or. Opened" The work is
accomplished. by blows from q hammer
on an iron instrument, shaped like q
chisel. Once this is done the plates &c
to the timing department.
This is the only known instance
where women have worked right in
among the heavy machinery Of the
sheet mills. To the women themselves
the labor is not disagreeablc. Mrs
Williams declares that she prefers the
work to scrubbing. 1t is not nearly sc
hard, she says. and, while it may seen
rough, it really is not, except on the
hands. In handling the thin tin the
fingers arc often cut or tom by sharI
points or ragged edges.
