600 WORKING GIRLS
SEEING THE SIGHTS
Delegates Represent 10000
Women Who Really Sup
port Themselves.

six hundred working girls from vari-
Gus Eastern States arrived in Wash
ington this afternoon for a convention
which will open tonight and continue
until Sunday evening.
The convention will not be one where
the reading Of musty old papers will
make up the program, but VIII be for
the specific purpose Of seeing every
thing interesting in and around Wash
ington.
The 600 accredited delegates represent
a membership of 10000 genuine wage
earning women of the Eastern States.
The greater number of these women are
employees OF factories, although the
membership reaches TO those employed
in stores. offices and other establish
ments. In the number are many teach
ers. stenographers and typewriters, but
membership to any of the clubs which
VIII be represented is restricted to wom-
en- actually earning their own living.
Banded In National League.
The organization under which these
working girls clubs are banded together
is the National League OF Women
Workers. The girls save up from
uonth 20 month 10 be able 10 attend the
annual conventions. It means a great
sacrifice on the part of many, because
the girls, as a rule. receive small wages,
and every penny of it counts. The clubs
which comprise this league meet in the
evenings for social recreation and edu-
cation. Each has its own particular
clique of worsers-tne factory girls have
their own clubs and the store girls have
theirs-but there Is no class" among
these girls. they are all working for a
common end.
The visit Of the girls to Washington
viii be made memorable. Everything
has been arranged and with a visit TO
the Congressional Library tonight the
round of sightseeing trips will be be-
gun. The girls will take a look at
Congress tomorrow morning and in the
afternoon will be specially received by
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt. Later
in the day an automobile trip will be
taken The girls will hear a series OF
addresses Friday night, when Oscar S
Straus. Secretary OF Commerce and La
Dor; Wa Ting-fang, the Chinese minis
ter. and the Rev. William T. Russell,
pastor OF St Patrick's Church, will
speak.

"BUlLETlN NO. 2"

Recently, in one of the Southern
states, the election for state officers
was made the occasion for a furious
struggle between the prohibitionists
and their opponents which developed
certain sensational features. Among
these was the issuance of Bulletin
No. ~ of which we shall endeavor
to give our readers some idea. Said
bulletin is embellished at the head,
on one side by portrait OF Lee
Levy, of Lee Levy & Co., 206 Market
St., st. Louis, makers of a vile, OBJ
scenely labeled gin largely sold to
field hands; on the other by picture
of type of the Louisiana feldhands
who are the principal buyers of such
gin as Levy sells. These pictures are
accompanied by the following extract
from an editorial which appeared in
Golfers Weekly, as follows:
"Is it plain now-the secret of
many and many a lynching and burn
ing in the South? The primitive
Negro fieldhand, a web of strong,
sudden impulses, good and bad, comes
into town or settlement on Saturday
afternoon, and pays fifty cents for a
pint OF Mr.. ,Levy's gin, absorbs not
only its toxic heat, but absorbs also

the suggestion, subtly conveyed that
it contains aphrodisiacs. He sits in
the road or in the alley at the height
OF his debauch, looking at that OBJ
scene picture of a white woman on
the label, drinking in the invitation
which it carries. And them comes
opportunity. There follows the hid
eous episode of the rope or the stake.
THE APPEAL is of the opinion
that the bulletin rightfully accounts
for many of the outrages of actual
occurrence. But these, obscene, lust
provoking pictures are not confined
to the labels Of gin bottles; they are
found everywhere, on the walls Of the
saloons, on the bulletin boards of the
theatres. Obscene pictures of white
women in various degrees of nudity,
from the decollete to "the altogether
are constantly exposed to the view
of ALL young and old. We are glad
to see that the white people of the
South are taking notice of the doings
of Messrs. Lee Levy & Co., and show
ing how much they are responsible
for the misdoings of the Afro-Ameri-
can. We are glad that they are find
ing out that the white woman has
much more to fear from the degen-
crates of her own race than from the
Louisiana fieldhands." What white
is shown by the white slavery of
Chicago and other Northern cities, be-
side which. the outrages attributed
to Afro-Americans are mere trifles,
if not in atrocity. at least in amount
