many storms, she has never met with serl-
GUS accident.
The old craft has several times been re-
built and has been well taken care Of, so
that she looks today as II she was good

WOMEN TEACHERS WIN
ASSEMBLY PASSES SALARY BILL
OVER McCLELLAN's VETO.

ALBANY. May lett now remains for
Gov. Charles E. Hughes to wrestle with
the female teachers of New York city.
Yesterday afternoon the assembly passed
the equal pay for equal work" bill over
Mayor George B. McClellan's veto. But
the bill didn't have the easy time that 1t
had in the senate. 1t required the great
est amount Of work to get 1t through the
lower house, and when the vote was an
nounced there were some who smiled. The
desk recorded the vote as being 81 to IS.
As on the occasion Of the passage of the
bill in the first place the greatest disorder
characterized the proceedings while 1t was
under consideration, and with his face
dark with anger Speaker Wadsworth once
brought his gravel down upon the block
with bang that meant something.
Call for Reinforcements.
Wednesday night the two representa-
lives of the women teachers who came
here Monday said that unless they had
more help the bill would be killed in the
assembly. They sent for more teachers
to come to Albany, and bright and early

has a most fascinating way Of arguing
away opposition. 1t was noticed that she
was never alone. All day long and until
the result had been announced this young
woman had at least two assemblymen
hanging around her.
The women teachers took up their sta
ton behind the brass railing separating
the members from the rest Of the cham
Der, and there they held court all day. As
sembymen paid more attention to the
women teachers than they did to the pub
lie utilities bill. or, in fact. any other
measure It was noticed also that 1t took
the young women with. the pretty faces
considerable time to convince assembly
men of how they should vote. While the
roll was being called the women teachers
were in the midst Of a bunch OF assembly
Speaker Wordsworth had been looking
askance at that for some time, but finally
he shouted:

Never has there been such active lobby
ing done in behalf of a bill as was the
case with this one. Senator White. the

men in hne. Senators Grady. McManus
and McCarren spent considerable time
among the democrats. Senators Cohalan
and Frawley also busted themselves among
the assemblymen during the day: That 1t
teachers were surprised when 1t was an
nounced that they had carried the day.
Gov. Hughes has ten days, in which to
sign or disapprove the bill. The women

bill. The impression seems to prevail that
he will not.
