And Not Tempt Weak Sellers. John @.
Brooks Tells the Consumers League.
President Wilson OF the Board OF Health and
John Graham Brooks OF Cambridge. Mass. were
the principal speakers at the meeting OF the
Consumers League yesterday In the Young
woman's Christian Association Hall. The Gov
erning Board Of last year was reelected. Mrs.
Frederick Nathan was reelected President of
the league and Miss Caldwell Secretary.
President Wilson said that nearly 80. 900
mercantile establishments had been examined
by tho Board Of Health. This Investigation dis
closed that there were 1877 Easements OF poor
sanitary condition whore women and children
were employed. The board remedied the con-
ditions as far as possible.
Mr.. Brooks pictured an ideal village factory
where higher conditions of life were attained.
Such an ideal was to be obtained. he said. by
the purchasers efforts. at Is the people," he
said, who create by purchasing. What people
want Is made for them. II they want cheap
goods. cheap goods are manufactured sor them.
The speaker mentioned a case or n Boston
photographer who was arrested for making In
decent pictures. His defence was that II people
did not write to him and order the prohibited
pictures he would not have made them. lie
was merely, furnishing purchasers with what
THE same may be said of the Louisiana lot.

not to blame; some judgment must be shown
by us regarding what we buy. In u certain fac

They formed n labor union. The condition of
employees In this factory was excellent. The
proprietor said he preferred to deal with IL trade
union.
Every article. manufactured in that factory
was marked with the unions label. BY buying
labeled goods made In such a factory as this
y"u would strengthen the factory, aud other
manufacturers would have TO compete In bet.

manufacturing better goods"
The speaker decried the evil OF child labor.
He said that all hope and vitality are poisoned
out of children who have been working like
machines during the years from IL to II.
He suggested tina; n more expressive name for
the association would be League OF Buyers"
instead OF Consumers League"
The leagues report for 1905 was read. II
stated. among other things. that tho constitution
had been amended somewhat. As amended. II
sets forth that the interest OF the community
demands that all workers should receive not tn.
lowest wages. but fair living wages. and that re-
spcnsibility for some OF the worst evils from
which wage earners suffer rests with consumers
who persist in buying In the cheapest market.

Certainly, sir. You see, when a

American consuls in the centers of
population outside of Havana will in
form the State Department whether
conditions become better.
The situation closely parallels that
which existed early in the administra-
ton of Grant. By direction of the
President, Secretary Hamilton Fish
sent to Spain most earnest and Wig
orous protest against the methods of
warfare which Balmaceda had adopted.
more especially toward the non-com-
batants on the island. Twice this pro-
test was offered. Then Spain replied
that instructions had been sent to the
Captain-General to modify his course
Thercupon Secretary Fish directed
the consuls in Cuba to observe closely
the effect of the new instructions and
to report to this government. The re-
ports are on file. They show that
Spain kept faith, and that the i'll
treatment OF the paciticos was checked.
The present administration believes
that history will repeat itself.
The President has strong hopes that
he will be able to inform Congress of
an improved condition of the recon-
centradOs. Spain's assurances are
strong. AmeliOration is promised.
If the evidences come in the next four
weeks, the President will inform Con-
gress. 1t is believed that he will 90
SO far as to recommend that this coun-
try observe strict neutrality and await
results of fair trial of the proposed
political reforms. Meantime. the
rights Of Americans in Cuba will be
zealously defended.
