What Maine is Doing for Homeless
Children This will be one of the
most interesting topics at the Maine
State Conference of Charities and
Corrections to be held in Auburn
October II and %. Rev. q. w.
Hincklty, director of the Good VIII
farm, was one of the pioneers of such
work in Maine and has the confidence
of all the people of this State, and the
work of the. school is known far beyond
the limits of the State. Mr. Hinckl-y
will open the discussion on Child Saw
ing Work. Mrs. G. b. McGregor,
president of the Home for Friendless
Boys, has some of her boys in nearly
every section Of the State of Maine.
some of them engaged in business for
themselves and grateful to her and to
her Institution for kindly help they
once found with her. Mrs. McGregor
will tell how she has been able to find
her homes for the boys and how she Is
able to tell whether the home is suta-
Bile for the boy. Few people have
given more time to the work than Mrs.
McGrcgor w. c. IIawes, superin-
tendcnt of the Maine Childrens Home
Society will speak on keeping in touch
with children placed in private homes.
This is difficult and delicate task and
ii will be extremely interesting to
know the problems which arise in
adjusting the children to the homes
found for them so that both the
families and the children shall be
happy in their life together. All are
invited to attend the conference.

The letter was shrewdly worded

skilled in this sort of business.
1t may be impossible to produce

Special Correspondence to The Prss,

CHICAGO, July 5.-A tri-city
convention, unique in the history Of
union labor, has been called for
Sunday, July IA, and meetings will
be theld simultaneously in Chicago,
Boston and New York.
The object is to discuss ways and
means of stimulating the trades
union movement among the more
than 5000 900 women workers In
the United States.
More particularly it is intended
TO foster this movement among the
1,Sl5,000 women and girls employ
ed in the manufactures, trades and
transportation, or what is known
as industry proper"
OF this class of women wage
earners more than on-ehalf are en-
played in the manufacture of cloth
and clothing.
Many trades are conspicuously
women's trades. Women outnumber
men as dressmakers, milliners and

IS per cent of all persons employed
are girls and women.

women.
.Two-thirds of the cigar and to-
bacco operatives, one-half the tex
tile workers and more than half the

Arrangements for the monster

Invitations are being sent to To-
cal trade unions in Illinois, Massa-
chusetts and New York. From New
York the call is extended to work
ers in Connecticut, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Delaware and Wash
ington, d. C.
These women, who understand
the needs Of working women as a
politician understands politics,
know that the special interests of
working women have been largely
neglected by the various state le-
gislatures, and that as a conse-
quence they are suffering under de-
graded and destructive conditions
Of work In many trades and To-
calities.
Among young girls the proper de-
velopment is being stunted by long
hours In under.ventilated rooms,
under the strain and danger of
shrieking speeded-up machines.
Professions of little girls start
for work before dawn in winter,
and in busy seasons often do not re-
turn, after doing their overtime
work, until as late as 1920 at
night. They then snatch only a
brief respite before the alarm clock
shall warn them of the fines which
punish hardness of the rsmorseless-
ly recurring work days.
Their hurry and fatigue limit
them to scanty and unwholesome
diet, eaten with none of the leisure
or attractive settings which stimu-
late appetite.
Their sleep in crowded, close
packed, stuffy bedrooms brings lit
tie refreshments, and during all the
daylight hours they are shut in
from sun and air.
The American working women
feel that 1t is time to arrange that
these children In their families
shall in the future take time to
grow" before entering upon this
strength-sapping career.

ONLY JAPANESE
CELEBRATE

Spokane yesterday presented
probably the most curious Fourth of
July development in the METRE
country. In the utter absence of
any attempt at formal observance
of the day by the city, the Japanese
residents-the people with whom
we have been lately talking about
war-came forward with celebra-
ton that was apparently IS sincere
as 1t was novel.
The Japs simply annexed our
greatest national festival, or what
used to be our greatest. and cele-
brated in Q spirit to make citizens
ashamed Of themselves.
However, It should be explained
that Spokane can't celebrate the
Fourth Of July under any circum-
stances, as the Interstate fair re-
Quires all the money that can be
spared, and tnere must be nothing
else in tho whole year that m.s..
detract in the slightest from inter
est in the fair. The chamber of
commerce works too hard on this
project to take any chances of
rivalry.
But tho city can see a celebration
anyway, II the Japs keep up the
pace in future years they set last
night.
More than 200 of them. led by
T. M. Uyemo, president of the ia
panese association, marched
through the principal streets. head
ed by a band playing patriotic
American airs.
In the procession In carriages
and on foot were many Japanese
women. Some Of them that walk
ed carried their babies. And each
Japanese bore an American flag
and paper lantern. The Japanese
colors were shown on a flag and a
transparency.
Two policemen led the parade.
They were also accompanied by q
big logger who wanted to be in the
fun. The Japanese marched and
counter marched, ending at the
Falls View hotel, whore they dis
charged what fireworks were not
used up along the line Of march.
They cheered for Uncle Sam, city
officials and generally enjoyed
themselves. Hundreds O. people,
hungry for a celebration, followed
them along the streets.
