Of the National Congress Of Mothers be-
gan tonight in Central NJ E. Church, and
the sessions will continue until Friday
afternoon. After the welcoming addresses
Mrs. Frederic Schof, OF Philadelphia,

duty Of a motheT Is to take care of her
children and the first and only duty Of or
ganized motherhood is to take care of the
children. The mothers congress has taken
within its care the children of the world.
The enactment of uniform marriage and di-
vorce laws, the inculcation OF high ideals
of marriage, the insistence on equal stand
ards of purity for men and women are all
matters of vital interest TO those who are
striving to raise the moral standard of the
community, and all these things will come
when united womanhood demands them.
'In this connection the mothers con-
anxiety upon the situation in Utah, where.
In violation of sacred pledges made to the
government, plural marriages are still con-
polygamy Is a blight which has already
spread over adjoining States and is in
sidiously spreading its poison in cities and
villages all over the land. IL Is not ques-
ton to-day for Utah, IL is an evil greater
than slavery, and America cannot afford
to remain silent while such a menace to the
home Is In the heart of our Nation. Amer
lea must surely find way to wipe out an
evil which is a disgrace to the Nation"
Mrs. Schoff In conclusion urged that
teachers and parents come into more SYM
pathetic relations; that manual training be
introduced into all public schools that
public play grounds be provided in all cities.
and that all laws preventing child labor
be enacted wherever there are none at
present.

ALLEGED SPIES SPOTTED.
Charges Made by Machinfsts Against
Manufa cturers.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 5.-A sensa-
tional expose of alleged spies in the employ
of manufacturers said to be posing as union
men in the convention of the International
Association Of Machinists will take place
in convention, probably tomorrow. accord
ing to the statement of a member Of the
executive committee this afternoon. 'We
have the men spotted he said, land have
absolute proof Of their trickery. They will
be exposed publicly"
Four men. one of them a delegate, and
the others members of the union in good
standing. ii is alleged. by President OCon-
nell, have been present at the convention
in the capacity of spies for the National
Metal Trades Association. The suspected
delegate, when placed in the sweat box"
Sunday night. confessed that he was an
agent Of the Metal Trades Association, and
exposed the names of the three other men
who he asserted. were present for the same
purpose that he had come.

O'Connells address was read A strenu-
organization against the piece work" sys-
tenn in factories, the report states, regard
ing which action will be taken before the
close of the convention. Calling attention
to the fact that employers are trying to
enforce the system in preference to the reg
ular day rate Of employment, the report
says: This convention should decide that
the systems are either right or wrong, and
that our members shall or shall not be
permitted to work under them. If you de-
eide that the piece-work system and the OPP
Grating Of two or more machines Is wrong
then 1 recommend that date be fixed a
sufficient time ahead when your member
ship at large shall be notified that they will
no longer be permitted to work under the
piece system or other systems of paying for
labor, except the regular daily rate, and
that they will not be permitted to operate
two or more machines"
Mr.. OConnell criticises David NJ. Parry,
president of the National Association of
Manufacturers. for inviting the manufac-
turers of the United States to unite with a
view to wiping out the trade-union move
ment, and forcing the wageworkers to ac-
cept any conditions of employment that the
employers feel like granting.

INDIANA UNIVERSITY.
Important Changes Are Decided on I'm
the Law School.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON. Ind, May 5.-Judge
Reinhard, dean of the Indiana University
Law School, has announced that the sum-
mer session of the law school. which here
tofore has been six weeks, will be extended
to ten weeks. This extension will put the
summer session on an equality with the
other terms of school, and the same
amount of credit will be given as for work
done in other regular terms of school. By
this extension students by going four terms
each year can complete the law course
here and receive the degree Of LII. d. in
two years instead of spending three terms
each year for three years, as has been done
heretofore.
Another change which will be tried in
the law department., beginning next fall
term, will be to abandon all tuition in the
department, as has been done in the de-
partment Of liberal arts, but charge fee
of s. term for library purposes. The free
scholarships-two from each county in the
State-will also be abandoned. The tuition
has always been $3.50 a term.
