MEETING OF SYMPATHY
WITH TROYLAUNDRY STRIKERS
 IN THIS CITY YESTERDAY
Rev. Alexander F. Irvine One of the speakers-"Unfaira Concerns Send work to This City-NIiss Benson's Speech Why They Struek-The Docking System.


 speech-why They struek-The
 Docking System.
 Miss Benson and Miss Dupuis of Troy, N. r, were in this city yesterday and held a meeting at Union hall, where they tried to create interest in this city in the strike of the Laundry workers in Troy. It is claimed by them that the Troy collar manufacturers are sending their work to be done in this city. Miss Benson stated that she had information which led her to believe that the work was being sent to the Monarch laundry, and from there dis triouted to the various laundries in this city.
 The meeting was opened by an elo- quent address by Rev. Alexander IT, vine, who was followed by Miss Benson, who spoke along the same lines as the circular which the union distributed. She spoke in part as follows:
 What are the conditions in the starchers department of the Cluett, Peabody & Go. shop? What was it that required the starchers to organizer"
 We were working by the piece; we received four cents for starching a dozen of collars. If we lost any time during working hours, we were the losers, not the firm. Still the firm would discharge any girl that was caught talking to her sister worker.
 The system of docking is, if you were short a dozen of work you would be charged from 50 cents to $1; if you starched dozen of collars you did not mark on your slip, the firm charged you ten cents for it and did not pay you for starching the work"
 MT. Van Houten then spoke, and il- cidentaly announced that there would be a meeting at Music hall, Thursday evening, September 2S, 1905, at o'clock under the auspices of the New Haven Typographical union, No. AT, at which MT. Frank Foster of Boston, Mass, will speak. His subject will be "The Why and Wherefore of the Eight-Hour De- mand. An excellent instrumental and vocal programme has been arranged for. Mr. Foster successfully debated with President Eliot of Harvard. Ad- mission will be free.
 Others who spoke were Mir. Horan and John Reyes.
 It was announced that an attempt will be made to form an organization Rrnong the women in this city. The purpose will be to have it's members buy only from those firms that are fail Z to their employees.

NOTABLE RECEPTIONS

Two matters Of more than passing inter-
est during the year were the expressed
feelings of Appreciation on the part of lead
ing citizens of the community for the serv-
ices rendered the District of Columbia and
to their fellow-men by Mr.. Crosby s. Noyes
and Rev. B. F. Bittfnger. Both of these
occasions were marked by expressions of
confidence, praise and esteem equally
unique. st 49,
On the night of June a reception, which
had been arranged by many leading citizens
OF the District. was rendered to Mr.. c. s..
Noyes in the banquet hall at Rauscher's.
At o'clock Mr., Noyes with the receiving
party, commenced to shake hands with
those who had come to do him honor, and
for more than two hours there was con-
tinuous stream of humanity passing, more
than a thousand persons having attended
the reception. ~ T. sn
During the evening speeches of congratu-
latiOn and of praise were made, and beau
tiful loving cup was presented Mr.. Noyes
as a testimonial of the esteem in which he
is held in the community of which he has so
long been a member. ssas,
At the Raleigh Hotel, on the evening OF
November 3, there was a memorable occa-
sion in the life of Rev. B. F. Bittenger, an
occasion that brought together crowds of
his friends and admirers. On that day DR..
Bittenger reached his eightieth birthday,
and the reception was rendered him in
honor of the event. For many years he
had served faithfully and well various
Presbyterian congregations, and all who
could do so called to do him honor. Mr..
Bittenger had retired from the active pas
torate of a church, but still held the posi-
ton of stated clerk of the Washington
presbytery.
Many compliments were paid the vener-
able clergyman during the evening and a
silver loving cup was presented him IN
memory of the occasion.

try.

LOCAL CHARITIES

AS an indication of the progress of char
liable work in the District during the year
the report of the Associated Charities, made
in October and relating to the year Begin
ming November L. 1903, may be taken. This
report said the year had been the most
successful of all Of the twenty-five during
which the association had worked. The
Citizens Relief Association. which is con-
nected with the Associated Charities, also
reports a large amount of good accom-
plished and generous contributions by citi-
zens. A special campaign against tubercu-
losis has been carried on earnestly. free
lectures being given for the benefit of the
poor. The board of charities Of the Dis
trict reported to the Commissioners on the
work of the year in December, calling at
tention to the alleged need of a better or
ganization in the charitable system Of the
city. New hospitals and juvenile court
were also advocated This fall contro-
versy arose between the District authOri-
ties and the officials of the Department of
Justice over the control of the girls reform

settled

IN THE CHURCHES
THE YEAR MARKS MANY INTER-
EsTING EVENTS.

The past twelve months in the history of
local churches leave only pleasant men,
cries, If the regret at loosing several
esteemed clergymen, either by death or
departure for other fields of work. is ex-
cepted. Long-established congregations
have been adding to their numbers and to
their religious and charitable work and
new organizations have been formed to
meet the ever-increasing needs of the
church-goers in the District. Several not
able church celebrations have been held
during the year. including the 10th ami.
versary celebra ton of ST. Patrick's Roman
Catholic parish and the dedication of the
new parochial buildings. in which President
Roosevelt took prominent part, this fall;
the fiftieth anniversary Of st. Adams
Protestant Episcopal parish, and the recep-
ton on the, occasion of the eightieth BIRTH
day of Rev. DIR. Benjamin F. Bittinger. the
veteran Presbyterian pastor. Near at hand,
though not In the District, Is the Hyatts-
vile Presbyterian Church, which celebrated
its two-hundredth anniversary this fall.
Among the other events of the year in
church circles were the dedication of the
new Foundry NJ e. Church and also of
the First Christian Scientist Church, the
erection of the Mount Pleasant N. E.
Church. the re-opening Of the Mount Pleas
ant Congregational and St. Margaret's
Episcopal Churches, after extensive inn
provements. the corner stone laying of st.
Marks Lutheran Church, and the celebra-
ton Of rhe golden jubilee Of the declaration
of the dogma of the immaculate conception

most important convention of the year in

P U BLIC SCHOOLS
ADVANCES MADE AND. NEcEssI-
TIES DISCOVERED DURING YEAR.

Thanks to eiiicient management the pub
lie school system of the District fully main
tanned its high standard throughout the
year and the reforms inaugurated promise
well for the future. Good results are re-
ported from the system OF regular medical
inspection OF pupils begun in the fall of 1908
and continued during the year just ended
There are but twelve medical inspectors
for the entire school system and the force
would have been entirely Inadequate but
for the intelligent cooperation OF The teach
ers and the supervising officers The serv-.
ice has resulted IN much improved condi
ton of sanitation. The only change in the
board of education during the year was the
appointment Of Mr.. B. Southland Parker as:
the successor Of Mr.. James Il. Fitch, re
signed.
The entire enrolment for Inc year was

The number of male teachers, including

1,249. The schools were in session one hum
dred and eight.-one days. The night
schools enrolled l.599 pupils and continued
seventy-four nights-a longer term than
usual.
The following school buildings We're dedi-
Gated and occupied for school purposes
during the year: James b. Edmonds. Samuel

Reno and additions to the Brookland,
Cranch and Takoma schools were also oc-
cupied With an average of forty-five pu-
pills to a room, these buildings add 2c70 to
the seating capacity of the schools The
two new eight-room buildings the Nathan
lei Parker Gage and the William Ludlow,
are the latest additions to the school sys-
tenn, and together afford accommoda lions
for 40 pupils. The new Business High
School is well under way. and will be ready

with an approximate seating capacity Of
500.
The most pressing needs of the schools al
this time are additional accommoda lions
and better pay for the teachers. especially
Manual Training School is entirely made
quate to the demands upon it. The enroll
ment of this school has reached 600, with
seats for go. During last year the entire
first-year class of over 300 was housed in four
rooms in the Central High School. which
that growing school needed for its own
classes temporary drawing room and a
physical laboratory occupied rooms in two
different rented buildings o street adj
Jacent to the Central High School.
The District Commissioners and the board
of education are urging upon Congress the
necessity for additional school accommoda-
tons. They have recommended that pro-
vision be made at once for the continuation
of the Business High School, for the extern
sion of the Mckinley Manual Training
School. for the purchase of site for an
extension of the Armstrong Manual Train
Ing School and also for the Increase of the
pay of the teachers
The school authorities are seriously con-
sidering the adoption of means for
stricter enforcement of the compulsory edu-
cation law in the District of Columbia or
the enactment of new law on the subject,
provided the present one is found ineffi-
cient.
