FOR SETTLEMENT.
A Representative of the Mouders' National
Union Looks Into the Worcester Strike.

A Representative OF the Moulders' National
Union Looks Into the Worcester Strike,
At labor headquarters, Ga South
bridge street, last evening, there was a
meeting of the moulders interested In
the labor differences existing in the
shops Of William Allen & Son and Pres
pey Pero. The hall was filed, and
there are indications that the trouble,
which has existed for some time, will
be amicably settled
There was in attendance at the
meeting, as the personal representative
Of President Fox, Of the National
Moulders union, James b. Valentine,
of Cincinnati, Q. Mr.. Valentines rea-
son for visiting Worcester is to locate
If possible the cause for the trouble
which has existed for the time. He
will convey to the national president
the opinion he has of the matter, and
then, it is believed, there will be a
speedy settlement
The trouble which brought the meet
ing about is an appeal from the work
lngmen from both shops from change
from piece work to work by the day,
and the workingmen also ask that pay
for their services be placed at $780, I'M
der the schedule OF work desired, Rep
resentatives of the shops claim that
this is out of the question, as it would
be impossible for them to conduct a
profitable business in that way. The
differences between the men and their
employers led to conditions as they al
ready exist, and until the men get the
things they want they are loafing.
Refusal on the part Of the two firms
to recognize the Moulders' union as
stable organization, and one that is
fit for recognition by employers is also
cause for much dissatisfaction among
the interested men, and argument was
also presented before Mr.. Valentine,
with the idea Of making him familiar
with the circumstances existing in this
connection.
Just what will result from the hear
lng'is a matter which was not decided
at the meeting last night. Mr.. Valen-
| tine was seen at the close Of the
meeting, but he would not say anything
regarding the probable result of his

MOTHERS AND THE SCHOOLS.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Sir-The newly awakened interest in
education among wemens clubs in
Massachusetts, as evinced by the rec
ommendation that every club in the
Federation devote one meeting a year
to consideration Of some phase of
this subject; also the admirable sug-
gestion that members of women's clubs
investigate the sanitary conditions o4
| tie schools in their neighborh0od the
disinfection of textbook and other
matters vital to the welfare Of children
are welcome indications that women
are beginning to appreciate their on
portuntties for usefulness In strength
ening. the educational system of the
state
In this connection, however. it should
be remembered ~ that every detail of
school management is in the hands Of
TIE school committee, and the most
direct way in which mothers and other
interested Womer can promote the eff
cheney Of the schools, Is by helping to
elect men and women of marked fiji
ness and known integrity to administer
them. A largely increased registra
lion Of women voters would make II
possible in most communities to elect
better school board, and such a CON
stituency would have a grand moral
eject upon every member.
With the above object in view, Sc
rious-minded women are urged to reg
lister this fall. and thus put themselves
in a position to render an important
service to the children and youth OF
the commonwealth.

By reading the New Iberia
papers, we can readily see that
the people of that town are seri-
ously dreaming about the contin-
uation of our branch road to New
Iberia. They do not call it any
more the st. Martinville branch,
but the Arnaudville branch, Meth
er do they care about removing
the track between st. Martinville
and Cade, but only want the con-
tinuation of the new road when it
reaches here, to New Iberia on a
direct line. Well, we do not
blame our New Iberia friends to
make an effort to capture this per-
simon, it is certainly worth hav-
ing, but we believe it is too high
for their pole, st. Martinville
holds the longer pole, and in the
course of a short time our impor-
lance will be great enough to re-
tain the branch even if we do not
surpass New Iberia in commercial
Importance.
