Woodward Furnace Shuts Down.

Last Monday the machinists employed
at the Woodward furnace threw down
their work and walked out. and today
the boilermakers followed suit. 1t is stat
ed that the employees demanded scent
raise per hour in wages, increasing them
from 80 cents an hour to IS cents an hour.
The company stood pat and would not
grant them this raise
Each man was paid for his time and the
shops closed down. The strike will effect
the work for few days, as 1t is impos
sible to carry on the work without ma
chinists and boilermakers, but a force w
be secured in the next few days and work
will be resumed.
The authorities stated to the employers
who are interested in the movement when
they paid them off that they were down
and out, and informed them that their
services would be no longer wanted by
the company, and also that an engine was
ready to take their tools from the place.

ment Her experiences In this line
were 80 hard and bitter that they turned
her thought toward working girls and
women In general She investigated
their condition and found this to be In
numerous cases no better than actual
slavery. One OF the results OF her
awakening on the working girl ques-
tion Is her book, ''The Long Day"
which sets forth things as they are. IL
is well for wage earning women OF the
poorer paid class that they have such
a champion as Dorothy Richardson.
She believes that a stlff trades union
among working girls would be ex-
tremely helpful in correcting some OF
the evils under which they suffer. She
also finds great need to be that OF

The Salem Statesman and the Eu-

misrepresented or utterly mistaken
the Journals attitude on the pro-

that Il desired such appropriation,
and believed that congress should
make Il, but expressed doubt as to
whether congress would depart from
its usual practice to do so, and. in

and make sure of its being done.

between the shoulder seam and the

should be divided into exactly three
equal parts. one for each side front
and one for the back. A back that
does not measure exactly the width OF
one side front is too narrow and the

Women are creatures of habit. They form

Take shortening for instance. The old

received, leaving II open to dirt, dust and flies,
exposing IL in some cases to the sun with the
possibility of its becoming rancid. and permit
ting it TO be placed where It would be likely to
