Demanding the Appointment Of Wom-
an Organizer, Boston Woman Dele
gate Tells Federation of Labor It's.
7 Time to Put UP or Shut Up. .5

t.You must either put up or shut
up was the phrase with which Mrs.
Mary Kennedy O'Sullivan Of Boston
epitomized her demand for the appoint
ment of a special woman organizer at
the late session of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor yesterday. Mrs.
O'Sullivan had resolution calling for
the appointment of a special organizer
which was punched with eighteen sim
ecutive council in the report of the or
ganization committee. She made
gallant fight to have the resolution
brought before the convention on spe-
cial order. u Had not number Of
other delegates followed her lead and
attempted to do the same for their pet
measures, she might have succeeded
Speaking in. support Of her motion
Mrs. O'Sullivans said: +
Gentlemen of this convention, in
three different conventions the same re-
quest j have just made has been re.
ferred to the. executive council and I
executive council hasn't acted upon the
matter and It. appears that you are not
going to. You men can talk a lot,
do your dutys You ought to ana I
came here for the very purpose Of tell
ing you this to your face. -
"Women work alongside Of men
doing the same duties, but do not re-
ceive the same consideration; they do
not get their rights. Now, if you
intend to do the right thing about
you will appoint this woman organ
The Treasurer Objects.
Exception was taken to Mrs. O 'Sulli-
van s remarks by John B. Lennon, who
insisted that, in his union at least, the
women employed in the. trade were or
ganized with and received the same
wages as the men. The discussion over
the report of the committee was long
and at times heated, but in the end the
majority and all appointments Of .spe-
cial organizers were left in the hands
OF the executive council.
A charge that some delegates were
getting two votes by the simple meth
cd Of holding up both hands when a
show of hands was called stirred mat.
tiers up bit just before this vote was
taken. The accuser failed to identify
the guilty delegates, if such there were,
dent Gompers guarded against repe.
tition of the charge by calling for a
rising vote.
Atlanta, Ca, and Tampa, Fla, filed
their claims for the next meeting of
the federation. A telegram from 7.
w. Quick Of the international Teleg-
raphers, indorsing President Gompers
political policy and urging it's continu-
ance, was read. This concluded the
business of the afternoon session.

POPK|NS GIRL UP,

LEAVES HOSPITAL SOON
1nai OF Her Assailant, Postponed
Pending Her Recovery, to Begin
Early Next Week.

Mary Popkins. the fourteen-veav-ol5
girl whose skull was broken by a ham
mer IN the hands OF her Jncle has al
most recovered.
For the first time in two weeks the
attending physician gave her pernis-
sion to leave the bed this morning and
sit In reclining chair in the room.
Some books were given her H. read
and so elated was she that she wanted
10 talk great deal 10 the nurses. She
was restrained. however. as much as
possible under orders Of the hospital
surgeons, Who fear that any excitement
will retsrd her recovery. For some
time the little girl was seated by the
window. and later she asked 70 lie down
again.
Facts Of every nature bearing upon
the tragic AFFAIR in which she was an
innocent victim. are withheld from her
Occasionally she has inquired OF the
nurse why she as so badly hurt, and
other questions have been asked. which
indicate that the girl does not know or
understand anything that occurred after
John Popkins rushed into the parlor
where the girl was seated and gave her
the terrific blow.
The physicians stated this afternoon
that the girl would be able to leave the
hospital early next week.
II IS probable that the case Of John
Popkins viii be called early next week
the trial having been postponed pending
the girls recovery. She viii appear IN
court as a witness against POpEing.

confronted with serious problems OF an
internal nature. In the face Of con-
