WASHINGTON WOMEN WORKERS

Mrs. John A. Logan. in an article pub lished in The New York Journal, dis courages women from seeking employ ment at the national capital. She says: Young women particularly misunder- stand the facts about clerkships in Wash ington. The pay seems liberal. and so it is. but the living is high" She con tinues:
 There is nothing available in the way of employment In Washington outside of the government: hence. when all chance of securing or retaining employment In some of it's departments is impossible, there is no alternative but departure from Washington. It has cost all tho

Not infrequent' ly illness and misfortune serve to compli' cate the situation and render them de- pendent upon charities.
 Looking at the question from an un- prejudiced standpoint. and having great respect for self-supporting women, strongly advise against women who must support themselves coming to Washing ton to seek any position within the gift of the government if they can possibly do otherwise"

HEAR A GCSoD LESSON.

In a long article Ella Wheeler Wilcox has these little paragraphs of advice to the ambitious woman:
 Perhaps you are a woman and your in tense desire is to be a singer. a speaker, or a writer. You feel you could benefit the world had you some great talent.
 But are you doing all the good you can by sometimes refraining from speech? In the everyday grind of life. in the family relations. in dealing with hus- band, children. domestics and friends, there is a vast opportunity for woman to do good and to save pain by merely Keeping still when she feels like giving way to a petty temper or a passing irri- tation.

BICYCLE RIDER SUED.

An odd suit is set for trial this morn- ing in the civil division of the City Court. A bicycle rider is being sued by a pedestrian for running him down.
 Last fall J. w. Booth was struck and thrown to the ground by a bicycle ridden by J. A. Durham. MT. Booth was cross ing Dexter Avenue at the time and he was thrown to the pavement He now sues the bicycle rider for the sum of 8 O0O as compensation for the injuries that he sustained. The case will hardly come to trial today as the Arnett suit will probably occupy all the time of the court.

ENACT PROPER LAWS FIRST.

The Sheffield Standard speaks warmly of a subject that Alabama club women have taken up as part of their years work .as follows:
 Judge Osceola Kyle. in his charge to the Madison County grand jury. Monday, day, called attention to the reports of trade combination, in Huntsville. and cited the fact that any agreement among business men to regulate prices of vari- ous commodities is against the law in this State. This action of Judge Kyle is no doubt the result of an alleged com bine" of the cotton buyers of Huntsville to keep down the price of cotton. It's a great pity that the grand juries are unable to reach the cotton mills of that town, who are working women and chil- dren on starvation wages. Nothing of the kind can be done, however. until The people elect a legislature that will enact proper laws for the regulation of child labor.

COLOR LINE IN
 WoMEN's CLUB AGAIN.

It seems that without some annual questions that don't get settled, but die down and spring up again each year, women's Clubdom as represented by ''The General Federation would De out of job. The New York Tribune has the follow to say of what it terms Worth and South clash"
 In the conference held at the Holland House yesterday by Northern and South ern representatives of the General Feder- ation of womens Clubs, regarding the long mooted question of color, no com promise was reached, and an adjourn ment in the late afternoon left the mat ter where the morning had found 1t. The South was represented by Mrs. A. Q. Granger and Mrs. J. Lindsay Johnson. president and ex-president of the Georgia State Federation. The sentiment or the North was voiced by Mrs. May Alden Ward, president of the Massachusetts State Federation; Mrs. c. A. West and Mrs. Ida Barrett Adams.
 It was Mrs. West who. as chairman of correspondence previous to the Milwau- kee biennial, was responsible for the ad- mission Of the New Era Club into the Massacbusetts Federation. Mrs. Adams is a member of the Middlesex Club of Lowell, which was one of the thirteen Massachusetts clubs to withdraw from the General Federation last year as a protest against drawing color line.
 The delegates from the South hold that only one move is feasible. the insertion of white" into the bylaws of the Gen eral Federation. which would thus setuc forever the dispute as to whether coiored clubs shall be part of the general organi- zation and oolored delegates recognized at conventions of the general society.
 Regarding the topic. Mrs. Granger says: "The color question has been drawback to club work in the South from the first, because women have refused to take part until the matter Is finally settled. If the line is not drawn strictly there will be a general disrup- tion of the federation. We find the Northern women who are living South and who have learned the true situation to be just as eager as we for this action In our opinion. 1t will be as greatly tt the advantage of the colored clubs as tc the white ones The best coiored wo' men do not want to join white clubs nor do they want social intercourse witf white women. Some of the colored clubs are managed in a masterly fashion anc are doing most excellent work, and Il will serve rather to weaken than tc strengthen them if affiliation of white and 'eolored' clubs is permitted"
