WANTS WAGE EQUALITY FOR WOMEN

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-ln the In
terest of self-supporting American
women. a remarkable movement has
just started in this city. 1t is a
league to secure, through legisla-
ton, an equality between working
men and their fair sisters in the
trades, arts and professions.
Of local scope now, the Equality
League of Self-Supporting Women
intends to become a national or
ganization. The founder is Mrs.
Harriet Stanton Blatch, daughter Of
the illustrious Elizabeth Cady
Stanton.
Mrs. Blatch says there are more
than 100000 women in the United
States who support themselves
through their own efforts. Hundreds
of thousands of these women are as
capable as the men who work with
them in the same capacity. But,
according to the founder of the
league, women are Disseminated
against by employers. Frequently
they receive so per cent less wages
than men engaged in similar work,
they often have to serve longer
hours and they are not given de-
served promotion.
"In New York" said Mrs.
Batch, there is an instance to
prove this unequal situation. In
the street cleaning department
more than 10000 men are employed
and not one woman, or all the
city departments this is the one
that women could most improve.
For centuries women have kept the
world clean. They have better
idea of cleanliness. whether 1t be In
the house or on the street, than
men will ever have, They might
not care to sweep the streets, but
they should be employed as inspec-
tors. A woman should be the head
of the department"
Mrs. Blatch declared that in 9TH
err city departments women were
underpaid.

AMERICAN HENLEY. THIS YEAR ON MAY 25. Julian ". Curtiss, Yale Ad- visor, Writes of Crews
 and Races.

At this time of year, when the in- terest of the University Is gradually focusing upon training of the Yale crew squads for the races with Har- yard, 1t Is interesting to recall that an equally important-in the eyes of many-meeting is in preparation else where.
 The fifth annual regatta of the American Rowing association, com mony known as the American Hem ley, will be held on the Schuykill riv- CT at Philadelphia on Saturday, May 25. The event this year promises to eclipse any aquatic meet of the kind held in this country, except perhaps the Yale Harvard races at New Lon don Although the regatta will vir-' tually open the intercollegiate season, it will bring together the most prom inent colleges and club crews in the east and south.
 Julian W. Curtiss, '79, advisory coach of the Yale crews and a mem Der of the association regatta conn mittee, has given the following in. formation:
 Although it is still trif1e early to make any positive statements, it is practically sure that four of the strongest rowing universities of the country will be represented. These are Cornell, Harvard, Syracuse and Pennsylvania. Yale will not send a crew this year. syT,I,a ,.o.oes will ,anresan+ on ,,ori : valed field of sport, as nearly every example of rowing will be Illustrated. They are: First, single souls, for the Farragut challenge cup; second single Schuykill; first double souls, for the Schuykill challenge cup first four souls, centipedes; first paired shells; first four -oared shells, for the Puritan challenge cup; second four-oared shells; first eight-oared shells, for the stewards challenge cup; second eight pared shells; junior collegiate eight pared shells, for the New England challenge cup; scholastic eight cared shells, for the Franklin challenge cup, and the second eight shells, octo- pedes. 7e
 "It is interesting to note the regula- tions governing the crews. The 'frsts races are open to amateurs in good standing. but no crew entering a sec. ond' race shall contain members (a) more than one-half of whom are also entered for the corresponding first ] race at the same regatta, or, (b) more | than one-half of whom have rowed in a crew winning the same race, or the corresponding first race at any pre- ceding regatta of this association.
 ''The interscholastic, eight-pared shell race is open to amateur crews in good standing, all of whose mem bers are bona fide members Of prep aratory schools or schools of equiva- | lent grade.
 "The junior college eigh.-oared shell ' race is open to crews from colleges or universities, none of whose flem- bers have rowed in a four-mlle inter- collegiate eight-oared race, and none of whose members has a seat in a university eight at the tlne of this regatta.
