it is going to force the employers into

Mrs. Henrotin gave the American
household helpers the credit of the
greatest intelligence of those Of any
country. Their greatest rivals are in
France, where the women have fine
training for domestic service.
Every housekeeper will tell you that
there must be readjustment," said
Miss Adams. There is life outside
of labor. and the girl must be given a
definite time to live this life. The girl
in the household is given an evening out.
She would rather have all her evenings
out and then work overtime if neces-
sary. BY organization and discussing
conditions the girls will find out what
to demand without upsetting the house

feeling Of right in q rational request.
Both sides have need Of broader expert

A number of prominent labor leaders
and club women were present at the
meeting. Mrs. James H. Loughridge of
the Women's International Label

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 23.-Charles w.
Nordstrom, who was hanged in the
Garrett. King county, court house this
morning, committed the deed for which
he was convicted nine years ago, on
Nov 30, 1891. Nordstrom worked dur
ing the fall of that year for Thomas Ma
son, rancher, near Cedar Mountain.
He had a dispute about small amount
of wages due him. On the night of the
murder William Mason was sitting
down to supper with his father Some
one fired shot from an outside win
dow. Young Mason pitched forward and
died in short time. Investigation
showed the prints of the murderer's feet
as he had stood beside the fence corner
and rested his rifle on the top rail. Sew
eral days later Nordstrom, with q Win
chester rifle of the same calibre with
which his victim was murdered, was ar
retsed. He told conflicting stories. On
trial he was convicted. The case was
appealed to the supreme court, this
state, which refused to grant new
trial. Col. James Hamilton Lewis be-
came associate counsel in the case. He
fought the case in the federal court on a
writ of habeas corpus, which was de-
lied. He carried the matter to the su-
preme court of the United States and
lost the case. He then went to the su-
perior court of King county and waited
for commission of physicians to exam

strom. This was granted. The doctors
pronounced the man sane. Lewis dee

sanity. The superior court denied this.

STRIKE LEADERS MEET
Imp portant Conference Of Heads

officials declinedrto discuss the object of
the meeting or say who were present.
It is believed the gathering will have
an important bearing on the strike.
Representatives of the constituent
companies Of the United States Steel
Corporation in Pittsburg contend that
there is no movement looking to set
element OF the strike that will be effect
ual; that the combines program is to
gradually and quietly resume opera
tions. AS result of the strike the COM
bine has arranged its program of CEN
tralizing operations and proposes now
to make these centralizations in nom
union strongholds. Advices from Mar
tins Ferry, o., are that the strikers
have discovered that at least three
members have been won to the employ
ers and they will probably take hand
in starting the Canal lover plate mill.
The strike is beginning to be felt in the
coke regions. Last week, with few
exceptions, the plants thruout the region
ran but five days. The result was a
slump in production of over $1,000 tons.

NORTHERN GEORGIA DELueED
Comfortable Damage Done by Heav,

Atlanta. Ca. Augs2ss atlanta and
nearly all OF North Georgia have been
deluged with rain the past two days. In
Atlanta alone the rainfall in the twenty
four hours ending at O'Clock tonight
was 3.66 inches. In this city the traffic
on one or two trolley lines was sus-
pended by washouts in the suburbs.
Considerable damage was done by the
flooding of excavations in great many
places and building operations will be
delayed some time.
Near Marietta, Ga. the rainfall was
the heaviest in years. All trains on the
Atlanta. Knoxville & Northern railroad,
which has its southern terminus at
Marietta, were abandoned on account of
washouts and loss of bridges.
The Atlanta & Knoxville railway and

danger.
At Canton the streets were impossible

HOUSEWIVES 70 ORGANIZE.
Chicago Employers Of Servants to
Form a Union.

Chicago, Aug. Reorganization of the
housewives will be the inevitable result
Of the formation of the new servant
girls union. This is the opinion of Mrs.
Charles Henrotin. former president of
the National Federation of Womens
Clubs, who spoke as the representative
of the employers at the open meeting of
the Working Women's Association Of
America last evening at the Auditorium
Recital Hall.
Miss Jane Adams OF Hull House,
whose address was on the benefit of or
ganization to the domestic employees.
said that organization was necessary to
the domestic in order to secure liberia
tion from long hours and wider scope
in her own family and social life.
1t was the concensus Of opinion of the
speakers OF the evening that organiza-
ton of both the housewives and domes-
tics is certain to come within short
time. and that with it will come read

hold.
The line Of advancement, according to
Miss Adams. will probably be in the
employees living outside and going to
the houses of their employers to work
for certain fixed number of hours.
With this rearrangement will come a
larger money remuneration to the do
mestic, but she will probably be unable
to place more than usual in the savings
bank.
II certainly hope an organization of
the employers will follow that of em-
ployes, and that these two proposed or
ganizations will cooperate in fixing a
reasonable standard OF wages and
hours" said Mrs. Henrotin. IAN indus
