Ouray, Colorado, has recently eff

and he first one Of the kin organized
world.
The object OF the Federal l'niol is
for HE promotion, protection and gen
eral advancement OF the women wage
corners Of the country. While the or
ganization has taken root in Ouray, it
vii! undoubtedly spread throughout
the entire land, and more especially in
Sc ctions where the laborinY classes pre-
dominate. Like all other federal un
lens, it takes into membership all
NOl kerS unattached from IA, ional I'M
| lens, and members Of different trades
and occupations whose numbers are
not sufficient to- guarantee the organs
| izat ion Of local trade union. The I'M
| ion here embraces all lines Of wage
workers in its membership, including
the county superintendent Of shoots,
school and music teachers, stenograplI-
erS and typewritists, salesladies, house,
work girls, Mattresses. hool>keepers and
whose only claim to labor is in their
own homes, have identified themselves

Realizing the depressed and unor-
ganized condition Of the women wage
carners, the idea Of federal union
for their protection first presented it.

erintendcnt Of schools; Mrs. Anna
Derry, postmistress, and Mrs. Clara \.

They formulated plans for such an
organization, and with the assistance
of Mrs. Ella Alexander, vino interview
ed the women Wa9e-earners OF the city,
were able at the first meeting held to
enroll 112 charter members. Several
speeches were made by prominent men
and women, explaining the proposed
federation. and great enthusiasm was
manifested.
1t is the intention of the members
of the local union to interest the Wo-
men Wage-earners Of all neiShborinS
towns in the Importance Of the wo'
mans federal union, and wit hin fe"
weeks extend this bond of fraternity

Tn an interview Mrs. Moore, the vice
president, saaid:
eve chose the name Alpha for ON
union because it is the first woman'S
| federation of the kind ever organized
! in the United States. The omega will
not come until it has encircled thu
globe and every woman wage-earner III
the world is bound by its fraternal Ties
1T is the mission of this union tl
look after the welfare of strange wo
men coming into our city in seach OF
employment. We will not only assis,
them in securing work, but will give
them the protection Of the union dur.
ing The search and after they have sc
cured employment.
''The prime object Of this federation
however. is in a general way to advance
and educate women wage-earners. The
dsgracefully meager and what we pro-
pose is to have the reward commcnsur
ate with the labor performed.'

MAYOR HAS HIS OWN PLANS
Mr.. McConochie Evasive About What He
VIII Do, But VIII Do 1t.

L
Mayor William McConochie was in
consultation with his predecessor.
Mr.. Medill, at the city hall at 1880
| this morning, when an ARGUS repor-
ter sought and was granted an audi
ence.
The new administration chief was
attired in his spring toys, lolling back
in a chair and pulling away at fine
Havana.
"Are there to be any changes in the
heads of departments today?" quer-
led the scribe.
ITS rather unpropitious weather
for shaking up" was the evasive
answer.
DO you propose installing your
appointments before they are con-
firmed by the council?"
Il don't feel that it is necessary
that L should tell, for THE ARGUS
generally knows what to say any
way" leaving the Inference that it is
his determination to take the bull by
the horns and assign his chosen sub
ordinates regardless of the voice of the
controlling bod Y of the municipality.
When do you contemplate remov-
ing the present officers?"
We'll, there may be few changes
today
The news-chaser having secured the
sought for information made his exit.
Phil Miller was among those wait
ing for an opportunity TO have a COM
bat with the mayor. Phil was ready to
don the chief of police star whenever
he received the word to do so.
George Nissen, one of the appointed
patrolmen dreamed of brass buttons,
blue clothing, billy clubs and pistols
all night. He arose at the first crow
of the rooster and wendell his way to-
ward police headquarters from his
Seventh ward home. George was as
happy as small boy with whole
lot of presents at Christmas time
George is playing close to the cushion
as it were, and is anXiously awaiting
the moment when the insignia of
authority will be tackled onto his
tlutteIing breast.
At late hour this afternoon no
changes had been made by Mayor
McConochie.

Rev. E. A. Powell bias been
in our city during the past week
in the interest of the Children's
Home Society of Missouri The
object of this organization is to
find and obtain legal control Of
every homeless child in the
state and to find them homes in
good families and thus to help
them to become useful men and
women instead of perhaps lead
ing lives of shame and criminal
ity. Thus this institution isdo-
ing a grand and noble work.
Every criminal adds to the ex-
pense of the taxpayer, while
every good citizen bears, more
or less, the expense of govern
ment. Besides, it is the duty
of citizens to do what they can
to help lift up humanity and to
aid in any way in placing a
homeless waif in a good home
is to aid that child to become of
use to the world and to man
kind. In the last IA years this
organization has placed over
1900 children in good bones.
1t is a purely humanitarian or
ganization and no one can make
Il mistake by contributing some
thing to this society and thus
help some child to become a
useful man or woman. Any

ton should write Rev. David
