The labor movement in Canada has
made phenomenal strides during the
past three or four years. Previous to
1900 there were few unions in she Do

membership would foot up $4,000 at
that time. Today Canada can boast
LOO unions. and the membership will
aggregate 100000.

MADE ARREST
IN IWILEl

Marshal Hendry yesterday afternoon
arrested Fukumatsu, another Japanese
charged with importing women. The
arrest was made in Iwilei. just as the
officers were about to leave, they heard
a commotion in a near by shack. In
terpreter Gaffney reached the scene Of
the trouble first. He found Maxine,
japanese interpreter in the grasp of
husky japanese wrestler. Gafney and
Marshal Hendry attacked the man and
pulled him off, and soon afterwards a
policeman came along and put him
under arrest. The man gave the name
of Kazaki and is charged with assault.
He attacked Maxine because he thought
him a spy, and might have done him
serious injury if the federal officers
hadn't happened along.

grievance went direct to Consul Saito
and poured into his ears their tales of
woe. The new society will relieve
him of much of this work
The intention is to organize in all
the islands, and wherever a Japanese
colony can be found. There are 10000
people of that race in Hawaii, and the
great majority Of them are plantation
workers. On each plantation will be
president, who will take the place of
the inspector under the old monarchy.
1t will be his duty to investigate all
complaints made by Iaborers and settle
amicably all difficulties. When he
finds this impossible he is to commu-
nicate with the central body at Homo
lulu and the general committee will
visit the scene of the trouble and ad-
just the differences
Last week visit was made to La
haina, Wailuku, Spreckelsville and
Hamakuapoko on Maui, and prelim-
mary organization was effected. Ev-
erywhere the scheme met with success.
One meeting has already been held on
this island at Waipahu where a branch
of 1900 was formed. Saturday meet
ings are to be held at Waialua, Eva
and Waimanalo. Then as soon as
Oahu is thoroughly organized, the COM
mittee will visit first Kauai and then
Hawaii.
Not only is the object of the society
to better the relations between the
plantations and japanese laborers, but
it Will also have for it's object, the es-
tablishment of hospitals and of board
ing schools, where children of Japan
ese parents employed in the fields can
be educated.

Headed by Consul General NJ. Saito,
the prominent japanese of the city
have organized a society which has for
its object the Improvement of labor
conditions among the Jajanese of Ha-
wait. A Central Japanese Society has
already been formed which will settle
al complaints and all differences be-
tween the plantations and their en-
ployes. NJ. Saito, Japanese Consul
General for Hawaii is the president of
the society, and the Executive Commit
tee is composed of c. Shiozawa, o.
Shioda, K. Ishikawa, DR.. j. Uchida, K.
Kobayashi, Rev. Mr.. Motokawa, Rev.
Mr.. Okubo, X. Kawasaki, DR.. Haida
and NJ. Saito.
When King Kalakaua first made a
treaty with Japan by which immigrants
were sent here for work on the plan
tations, inspectors were sent to each
plantation, whose duty it was to report
to the Japanese government the con-
ditiou of labor, and who We're also to
settle all differences which might arise
between employer and the employe.
Later these inspectors were superseded
by agents of the immigration companies
which worked under special permit of
the Imperial government. When an
nexation came all agreements were
knocked out, and the japanese plan
tation Iaborers have since been left to
their own devices.
The object of the new society is to
better the standard of the japanese la
borer in the Islands by disposing Of all
complaints without strikes or other
trouble. Formerly all laborers with a

II made contracts before I went
away with certain corporations here,
which will require my presence in
Washington, to represent certain inter-

don't intend to open an office here, but
if anything requires my presence 1
shall remain until December 1st.
''The situation in regard to Marcus
Island, is as Ex-senator Thurston told
me. about this. The japanese govern
ment has relinquished all claim to the
island, not because of anything done
or left undone py Captain Rosehill but
because of claim made by the United
States of discovery ten years prior to
the time Rosehill first saw the island.
The Japanese government has relin-
quished sovereignty over the island and
I was informed also that the fishermen
had left. The Marcus Island Guano Co.
has expended all the money it had in
investigating the guano on the island,
about $1,000 it cost L think, SO now
there is no money in the treasury. The
stockholders are not willing to put up
the money for another such expedition.

A claim for Indemnity has been filed
with the State Department, against
the Japanese government for forcing
our party to leave Marcus Island, but
anything from it. It took the Russian
government nineteen years to settle for
the seizure of an American sealing yes
sci by thei- gunboat, and I don't know
how long it viii be before we get any
thing.
California is prosperous. There is a
boom on now and the only obstacle in
the way is labor. The labor difficulty
is serious and there is also a shortage
in household servants. Don't know but

feature that it is men, not women, who
have initiated it. The more intelligent
and progressive Turkish men realize
off the slate as so many oriental ma
tons before it have been the women of
the nation must be elevated and en-
lightened. Few women in the Ottoman
empire have as yet intelligence enough
to take part in the movement, but there
is already a Turkish princess, Hairie
Ben Aid, who has unveiled herself and
learned to speak in public in western
countries in order to do what she can
to ameliorate the miserable condition
of Turkish women.
In our own land each decennial census
shows steadily increasing percentage
of wage earning women. In MasSa-
chusetts 27.23 per cent of all those en-
gagged in gainful occupations are wo-
men. When Harriet Martineau came
to America in 1910 there were only sew
en- employments open to women. Hon.
missioner of labor, says:
ITO my own mind one of the greatest
boons and one of the surest prophecies
which l can offer as the result of the
industrial emancipation of woman will
be the frank admission on the part of
the true and chivalric man that she is
the sole rightfuI owner of her own be-
ing in every respect and that whatever
companionship may exist between her
and man shall be as thoroughly honor
able to her as to him.

could hardly be-but in height. The
crowns are becoming very marked, as
if to atone for the simplicity of the
trimmings. Some of these new hats re-
semble very much the directoire shapes
seen in old French pictures. They are
trimmed with wide sash ribbon and a
very fancy buckle.
1t is a thousand pities that girls
don't realize more what it means to
them to cultivate even their small tall
ents. The average girl makes the fatal
mistake of looking out for clothes and
of leaving the rest to look out for it
self. Consequently she generally ruins
her family by her frantic efforts to pro-
vide herself with a new hat every ten
days or so, and her collection Of gowns
and even of ribbons is worth looking at.
But. alas, when she is in society she is
a mere dress figure; that is all She
cannot do anything in entertaining, not
even in nine cases out of ten talk in an
interesting manner. once you get her off
the subject of dress and her own self
Her very extravaganza in dress fright
ems the men she might otherwise at
tract, and her stupidity and lack Of ac-
complishments bore them stiff In the
end she gains nothing but a lot of
dressmakers' bills and a collection of

Recent Industrial
Progress Among Women

" HE announcement is made that
"a young French woman doctor,
Mile. Sara Broido has obtained
the appointment of ships doc
tor on one of the steamers ply
ing between Algiers and Marseilles and
is now serving in that capacity. Prob
ably the number of Algerian Moham-
medan women that travel on these yes
sells made the appointment of wo-
man ships surgeon especially desirable
in this instance; still it was a begin
ming. Since Mile. Broido began her
work other young French women ply
sicians have applied for the place OF
ships doctor
After all, however, it was not an
American woman who thus broke the
ice for her sex, but a French woman, in
a land where the feminine sex is ham,
pered by law, tradition and supersti-
ton to an extent unknown in America
American trained nurses are beginning
to serve as well paid stewardesses on
ocean steamers, but no graduated wo-
man physician is as yet ships sur
geon; perhaps has not even thought OF
applying for the berth.
Now that a. French lady M. D. has
shown the way, though, we may expect
her pioneer footsteps to be followed.

on those plying around the coasts of
Asia women doctors might get appoint

A FRISCO GIRLS HOTEL.

A woman's hotel has been built under
Francisco. The Girls union was formed
in 1884 for the purpose of aiding self
dependent, self respecting girls who de-
sired to live in nice surroundings and
yet who had not the means to live at
places where such could be found. A
boarding house was opened where
dressmakers, bookkeepers and other
working women found homelike resi-
dence at moderate cost.
Through gifts from Mrs. Phebe A.
Hearst and other friends a building
fund was gradually accumulated, and
plans for a new and larger home were
carried on. There are fifty good sized,
well furnished rooms to be rented in
the new hotel. On the lower floor are a
handsome hall and living room, with
large fireplace, a directors room and a
classroom. In the basement are a very
social hall, where the girls may con-
gregate before and after their meals,
chatting, reading, dancing or playing.
Working girls come here for luncheon.
Meals are served at Is cents.
1t is also planned to conduct classes
in literature, music, sewing, typewrit-
ing and other subjects. For attending
these a small fee will be charged. The
directors hope that number of art
students will make their home at the
Women's hotel, and that women stran-
gers from out of town will also feel that
it is a nice place to stay in for few
weeks

The wise girl. on the other hand, sur
veys herself and thinks. Now, what
can l do to repay the kindnesses of 9TH
ers and to give them pleasure?' an I'M
selfish thought which brings its own
reward. If the girl can sing. so much
the better for her; but let her learn
some songs which she can sing without
effort and without Ooh, worse than
nothingD making fuss over them.
People at little evening gathering do
not care to hear your rendition of
grand opera, but they are, oh, so
grateful for a cheerful little song
which comes without any effort. If
you have no voice perhaps you can
whistle. 1 know very pretty little
southern girl who has cultivated this
apparently small gift till it has brought
her many friends and good times, not
to speak of much pleasure in her own
home circle. If you can't do anything
else perhaps you can talk agreeably,
tell witty little stories and bonmots.
This is an art which can be cultivated
and which is much appreciated. in 9TH
er words, think of others and you will
be appreciated. Sit like an idol on
your throne and think of yourself and
no one win bother to interrupt your
meditatiOnS.

ments without much trouble, once the
idea became familiar to marine author
tiles. Many of the passengers on these
steamers are oriental women and chill
dren, and the suggestion of a man doc

a famous opening for women physi-

He must be either very blind or very
bigoted who fails to acknowledge the
great change that has taken place in
the status of womankind in the past
generation. Fifty years ago dire catas-
'trophe was prophesied as the conse-
ouence of the unnatural attempt to give
woman a more liberal education and
broaden for her the wage earning field.
| Not one of the disastrous consequences
predicted has followed. Nature looked
out for that. Woman is still gentle, af-
fectionate, refined, still loves her home
and children as we'll as she did before
she learned to read and write, and she
is all the wiser, as mother and home
maker from understanding hygienic
housekeeping and the scientific man
agement of children. Proportionatsly
fewer women are mothers than was the
case in the old days when there was no
choice except for a girl to marry wheth-
er she wanted TO or not, but in the city

RemOdeIinx a Gown.

The old fashioned tight fitting lace
gown with elbow sleeves may easily be
remodeled SO that it will look very
charming, and as this is the time of the
year for rearranging ones old gowns
let me tell you how to do 1t. Let us
suppose the waist to be made with a
blouse hooking under the left arm and
on the shoulder. First remove the high
collar and finish the neck opening
with narrow velvet ribbon, the edge
of which just shows in irregular lines.
This would be very smart of turquoise
blue velvet. and the plain blouse might
be made much handsomer. If cut tur-
quoise beads We're spangled over it
back and front to simulate a pointed
yoke effect. If the effect is still too fiat
and plain a trail of artificial pale Blue
flowers can be fastened lightly over the
left side. Next take the sleeves. They
should be cut of to make pointed caps.
Buy three yard lace scarf to match
the lace of your gown and use the two
ornate ends to form long hanging ends
to the short sleeves, while the remain
der is draped into a full effect, caught
here and there below the tight fitting
upper cap. The wide belt, or 1 should
say girdle, is another feature of the
fail styles. 1t is made of panne or
lowered silk and gives an agreeable

ing little jackets. 1t is cut on the bias
and laid on boned foundation. The
lines of some of the new gowns show
a variation in the belt line from the
high in the back and low in the front
effect to which we have so long beer
used. One French dinner gown recent
~ seen in a Broadway play is made OF
white mousseline de sole scattered with
a design of jeweled BUTTERFLIES. The
belt is of wide gilt ribbon, which is
wound around twice, coming well up il
front under the bust after the empire
fashion.
