was at the wheel Saturday night when
the fatal collision occurred. In his re-

the crew of the San Pedro substantiate
the story of Swanson. He saws that the

sighted the Columbia to put the wheel

the San Pedro seward, apparently out

Last Sunday afternoon meetings were held
simultaneously in Boston, New York and
Chicago which were eventful In reference
to trade unionism and to American political
life in general. These gatherings were
meetings Of the Womens National Trades
Unions, and in their deliberations and con-
illusions they spoke as the representatives
of over 100000 women wage-earners.
In the Chicago meeting. which was held
at Hull House in that city, resolutions were
passed demanding that a woman be given
a responsible position in the federal labor
bureau at Washington and looking to the
appointment by the President at early
day of woman commissioner of labor to
preside over special bureau to be created
by Congress.
The delegates also considered with great
seriousness and discussed with great intel
ligence and force ways and means whereby
women who earn their living can face their
competitor-man-to better advantage. All
agreed that one effective means to this de-
sired end would be the better organization
of women for their own protection.
In this discussion 1t developed the opin-
lon Of the meeting that marriage is a
serious stumbling block to progress because
many women are careless Of their needs and
rights in view Of the hope Of ultimate mar
rage and dependence.
1t was proposed that to encourage mar
riageable members in the union ranks a
dover be donated to each union woman
who weds. Some of the delegates favored
making the sum 500 to $500. No definite
action was taken.
Miss Margie Jones Of Cincinnati preached
the subject Of providing bowers for woman
toilers. She Is not clubwoman a stu
dent OF political economy. She is laun-

every week. She voiced the views of
woman on the inside of industrial affairs
| who has studied the workingwomens needs
in her own struggle for existence.
The meeting also resolved to request the
selection of a committee Of three to attend
the next convention of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor for the purpose of inducing
the appointment of organizer especially
devoted to organizing women.

There was no clear reflection In the
