Union of Stenographers.

The formation Of union composed of

ployed at the Federation of Labor head
quarters in this city, as told in The Star
yesterday, is but the preliminary step in
the organization of the men and women
employed in those occupations through

Dietrich of Columbia Typographical
Union, who is an organizer for the Gen.
trail Labor Union, has the matter in
charge. He says the persons employed at
the professions named especially the
typewriter girls. are in many instances
lily paid for their services.
Mr.. Dietrich realizes, he states, that it
will be difficult at the beginning to enforce
salary scale in businesses in which
many schools, public and private, are
graduating operators, good, bad and in
different. He hopes. however in time to
have the stenographers and typewrters'
union on as good basis as that of the
retail clerks.

PUBLIC PLAY GRouNDs
Interest in the Work of Preparin
Amusements for Cbi1dra,

fariy In the present summer five vacant
iots' with apparatus for having n good
tlme. varying In quantity and quality ac-
cord1ng to the location of the ground u.r.
loaned temporarily for play grounds for tho
children of Washington. and improvements
mad been made upon them. but nloy
grounds of the ideal kind had not baen
realized.
The play grounds committee assembled
early in the spring in the general orc ~
the Associated Charities to make plans for
immediate work, and scarcely a month
p sn before arrangements were made to
clear ten or twelve lots. erect such appara
tus as might be in keeping with the homes
OF those who knew the work: and for tn.
employment OF a supervisor who should
prepare grounds anew and superyjse vol
unteer teachers and helpers in all parts NJ
the city. This was the beginning of a
work OF philanthropy.
A number of months have passed sipca
these plans were made and time has proved
the wisdom Of the early action eleven
lots have been cleared, heavy and we'll
been erected. base ball, volley and basket
ball courts have been laid out, and sand
boxes. with awnings for cover have been
placed for the smaller children. Everything
is gradually being done-aS the funds In
hand permit-for the comfort and pleasure
of the little ones Of all ages.
Prof. A. Z. Craig of the Armstrong Nor
NAL Training School. who is a member of
one to supervise the clearing, leveling and
equipping of grounds, the regular supervisor
not having time to prepare the grounds and
train volunteers, and without waiting for
the committee to act, he volunteered to take
up this work and carry it through to COM
pletion. The report is now made by Mr.
Craig that all plans have been executed
and that eleven play grounds are ready for
full use.
With the real play grounds and proper
equipment 1t has not been necessary to
search for children. The grounds in the
rear of Neighborhood House, only about
25xG0 feet, frequently hold party of hap
Ply youngsters numbering 125. In the hot
hours of the day dozens of boys and girls
may be seen upon the chute and parallel
bars and dozens more in the sand boxes,
while in the evening hours the party in
creases to about two or three hundred. Ere
quently the regular class at each ground
is so large that 1t is necessary to divide
responsibility and set many volunteers at
work as instructors.
League spirit and the desire to uphold
division dignity has been awakened. There
is a southwest club, a southeast club and
many others. These clubs contest at base
ball, basket ball and other games, and the
enthusiasm of the participants increases
every day.

SINGLE TAX THEORIES.
Lecture by John a White Of Chicago
Before Students ir,,.Economics.

A number OF students of economics gain
cred at La Fetra's last night to attend
dinner and listen to anc address by MT.
John 2. White of Chicago. In the course
of his address Mr.. White said:
individual freedom Is the aim OF those
who support the doctrines advocated by
Henry George. TaxationG is the practical
means whereby they hope to realize his
ideals. In both inspiration and method
they claim to be conservative-that Is, to
be in accord with the Tendencies which
have prevailed in the civilization of which
they are part.
1.-The glory of modern ,fcivilization. = the
feature by which itiis distinguished from
all others-is the fuller recognition of in
dividual freedom that now obtains. Ana
this Is but another way of asserting the
more extended destruction of privilege.
In the three relations in which men I'VE

litical or governmental the materfai or
physical-individual freedom lis, In the
United States, nearly complete

every man may vote equally with every
other man. In political affairs we have
secured equal individual freedom. In The
physical or material field. however, we nave
but partly secured Individual freedom. But
produce one ounce of food Therefore. In
dividual freedom in religion 1ndfVlduai
freedom in government, Individual freedom
of the person, are of but little worth 10
him from whose grasp the land Is held
Henry George proposed nothing more
nor less than to continue in the pathway
that hitherto has led to the realization OF
the distinctive characteristic of the mod.
ern world-individual freedom. We believe
that we are properly called conservatives
Equal religious rights equal social rights
equal rights to labor, must be supplemented
by equal rights to land.
