many female workers. the report says.
| ''rhey recognize that it is impossible for
employers tc interfere with the liberty or
to control the conduct of the girls and
women outside the factories, but they are
convinced they will recognize that they
ought to be informed that such clubs ex-
ist that they will insist upon the sup
preston of these clubs If any be found to
exist in their own factories, and prevent
their esta bliShment in any form. The
committee venture to suggest that If ade-
quate rules were placed in prominent posi-
lions IN the factories, and were rigidly
enforced. the evil, which Is more wide
spread than many imagine, would be ar
rested. and the interests of both employ
ers and workpeople thereby promoted"
Other evils pointed out in connection
with these clubs are:
1. Girls in some cases practically CO.
creed into joining.
2. Brandy, whisky or rum poured into
cups before tea, and drunk with little or
no dilution.
3. In regard to ''bank holiday" parties,
weekly collections on pay days were COM
menced month or six weeks before the
event.
4. The money was pooled" and i'm
mediately before and after the holiday
drinking parties were arranged, either in
the workshops or public house in the
vicinity of the works.
5. A social worker declared that she had
seen young girls go in body from the
factory. after receiving their wages at
Saturday. midday, to a public house, and
remain there continuously for several
hours. Frequently the girls were accom-
panied by male operatives. Late in the
afternoon this lady had assisted girls
home. SILLY drunk" as she descriptively
termed 1t. or In a maudlin condition. "A
large proportion of their earnings had by
that time disappeared.
All the girls and women are expected to
join in the drinking and were prosecuted
If they refused. In some factories permits
sion had been given by foremen for
carousal in the factory itself. The girls
lost their self-respect, and developed loose
manners.

all the Jews they came across. Ten Jews
were brought dangerously wounded into
the Jewish hospital The excuses were
repeated in the evening.
The next day. November IS, took place
the funeral of Governor General Novit-
ski. and the Black Hundreds took adj
vantage of this to make a fresh attack
upon the Jews. Many more Jews were
ill-trsated and wounded. and even women
and children did not escape the fury Of
the ruffianS, none of whom was arrested
by the police. Thus. it would seem that
the reign of terror in Odessa still con-
tinues.
"Antf-Jewish riots in Odessa are prac-
tically of daily occurrence. becoming
more or less dangerous at different times.
from August to September q of this
year more than 800 patients were treated
at the Jewish hospital in Odessa for
wounds inflicted by the Black Hundred"
1t is reported from Odessa to the Jew
ish press of this city that Gen. Boufal.
the new governor general of Odessa. is
sued a proclamation today. He ordered
the police to interfere energetcally when
ever disorders occur, and If necessary
to make of their sabers to effect the
arrest of disturbers of the peace, and he
declares that all persons guilty OF dis
orders will be sentenced to prison for
three months and then expelled from the
city. At the same time the governor
general charges some foreign newspaper
correspondents with misrepresenting the
actual character of the recent street dis
orders in Odessa.
Continuing, the proclamation says IL Is
most diff1cult TO ascertain the names of
the authors of antI-Jewisn outrages, and
he invites the president of the Union Of
Russian People, which Invariably is ac-
cused of these acts, TO issue categorical
explanations.
Reports from Odessa to the Jewish
press here state that the leaders of the
Union of the Russian People" have ap-
pealed to the car to pardon all those
that have been convicted for participant
ing in the October progroms. In their
appeal they have pointed out that they
did not organize a massacre but that
they suppressed the Jewish revolution"

characters seriously affected, the drink
ing habits they have acquired weakening
their sense of self-respect, degrading their
general habits of life, and uniting them
for the responsibilities of motherhood.
IT appears from circular letter to Biz
mingham employers just issued by the in
fiuential committee appointed some time
ago to investigate the matter that these
drinking clubs are formed for the purpose
of sUrrepti,iously getting drink into fac
tories to be Consumed in tea and other
ways, of celebrating birthdays, marriages
and other social events connected with the
factories. and of enabling girls habitually
TO drink together in public houses and
other places after leaving work and on
public holidays. especially Christmas

ployers. hut III come factories they are un-

SEASIDE REMAINS WET.

Mondays election at Seaside has
demonstrated, nearly two 10 one, that
rer people are not opposed to the pres
ence Of saloons, and the thirsty tourist
as well as native, will have something
to drink there beside sea water.
The issue was warmly contested and
overwhelmingly decided, and by the best
and last resort at hand, the local polls.
This is always the best way to dispose
of popular issues and is wholly satisfac-
tory in the end. We may deprecate
public adjustments of this kind but we
cannot question them; II Is with the
individual to vote as he sees fit, and
having had recourse to this expedient,
there is nothing more to be said.
Local matters are susceptible Of great
bitterness and radical phases OF conten.
tion, since the people engaged are closely
knit in small compass and are uniyer-
sally familiar with the mooted issues,
ond are the best judges Of the relative
merits at stake. For this reason they
snould be left to the popular expression
as made at the polls and the decision
abided by unless there is proven eollu'
sion or fraud that warrant an appeal.
