LAUNDRY WORKERS SUCCESSFUL.
Since the coming of the two representa-

stirred up in their favor, and in addition

financial support they have materially

Ing large amount OF the work returned
that was sent 10 this city 20 be done for
the firms In Troy. with which the strike
had been called.
Very few OF the labor people OF this
city were aware OF the fact that when the
strike was started in Troy that a large
amount OF the work that was done there
was sent 20 this city 10 be done. The
laundries OF that city have the contracts
for laundering all the collars and cuffs
made by the factories In that city and
sent out 10 the various stores all over the
country. AS fast as the sewing machines
Of the factories there make up n lot OF
goods they are laundered and placed on
the market.

laundry workers OF that kind, one Of the
main means OF earning a livelihood Is
offered I'm this craft Some time ago tho
laundries Of that city drafted n set OF
rules that were injuriousS the employees
both financially and physically. and no re-
lief was IN sight. 80 that the workers at
that craft were forced into organization

strike has been I'm force. with not only
the union people out OF work. but also
a large number OF others who had been

course of their itinerary came TO this city
For the past week they have been among
the union here asking for the support and
looking up the laundries where the foreign
work was being done. They found Sow

with several Of the labor leaders here
they decided 20 visit these places and see

PRINCIPLE OF THE AMERICAN
PEACE PLAN ENDORSED
Contlnned from nage one.


The speaker said that one reason ad-
vanced by Americans for not granting the
F1lipinos independence was their lack OF
a common language. He referred TO their
dialects and compared the F'ilipinos with
their multitude Of tribal tongues TO the
three languages spoken in Great Britain.
English Scotch. and Irish, saying that
every nation met with difficulties in tho
matter OF language. This statement
caused uproarious laughter on the part of
the congressman. All the speakers were
subjected To voleys OF questions by the
congressman, finally admitting that they
had not given tho subject sufficient study
10 determine just how TO handle indepen-
dence n given 10 the Filipinos
Congressman Cooper OF Wisconsin I'm an
interview said:
1T is quite apparent to any who has
looked into the matter even superfically
that self government for the Fllpinos AT
the present time is out OF the question
and that within very few months after
the granting OF independence there would
be a factional fight similar 10 the Aguin-
aldo-Luna feud. which would give the
powers an excuse 10 intervene and divide
the islands"
The session will be continued tomorrow.

Value Of Study Of Greek.

President Hadley OF Yale has lately
declared that the old school college
and university Instructors WIN sci
great store upon Greek as a means oi
mental discipline and development
were half right and half wrong. They
were right. he says. in holding that
hard work and precision OF thought
were more important by far than i'm
mediate utility or the students ma
tural interest In the subject studied
But they were wrong. President Had
ley maintains. in supposing that
Greek was necessarily more effective
than other subjects OF study can be
made.
