LABOR'S ATTITUDE
Federaticn's Alleged Objection to MIR.
Hanly Vanishes.

Indianapolis Sept z4.-The address
to be delivered by Edgar l.. Perkins,
president Of the State Federation of
Labor, at the annual convention in
Ierre Haute next week, was made
public today. He takes up all of the
important matters in which the union
men are interested, but perhaps the
most interesting contribution is the
statement OF the federations attitude
toward j. Frank HanIy, the Republi-
can nominee Tor governor. so far as
the executive board is concerned" he
says, the fight against Mr.. Hanly
ceased with his nomination" This
will be good news to Mr. Hanly and
the Republican leaders, who have
been somewhat alarmed by the re-
ports that the federation was cocti1-
uing it's fight against him. Perkins
says the night grew out of a state
ment Mr.. Hanly made at a meeting of
the Retail Merchants association at
Lafayette, in which ne took occasion
to say that the garnishee bill should
be passed. but Perkins concludes that
it is not the policy to continue a fight
on man after his nomination because
of his private record.

Girls at St. Louis

It is evident from the preparations
that are being made for the protection
of young women at the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition that st. Louis will
offer a fefhle field for the labor of
home missionaries while the big fair is
IN operation. Hundreds Of girls are
being attracted to st. Louis by the
glamour of the show. by offers OF en-
ployment, some Of them genuine, others
bogus and by the opportunities to
catch on somewhere which all such
mammoth enterprises offer or are be-
lieved to offer.
Advertisements for demonstrators,
Office girls Mattresses, clerks, sales
women, chambermaids and all sorts Of
professional and domestic help draw
girls from their homes in other cities
or in country towns and hamlets, many
of them to endure great privations and
many never to return to their homes.
To throw a protecting arm around
such young women viii be the aim Of
the mission workers who are to be
placed in all the st. Louis railroad sta
tions to meet girls as they arrive.
Others will go to all the places within
the fair grounds to establish friendly
relations with the girls and ascertain
whether they are in need Of help. II
is proposed TO build a home or refuge
near the exposition grounds for the re-
ception Of girls in distress.
