IN a recent interview on the subject
MISS Morgan said:
we can see from the general trade
conditions how difficult it must be for
these girls to get along. OF course, the
consumer must be protected, but when
you hear of a woman who presses 40
dozen shirts for IS a week, something
must be very wrong. And So hours a
week seems little enough to ask.

The untold good that Miss Morgan

She Aids Workingmen.
But her philanthrophy has by no
means been confined to her own sex.
One of the most striking Of
her work among laboring men. is he
restaurant which she opened in he
Brooklyn navy ward and which is con-
Quoted on a cooperative plan. Here
the laborers can secure an excellent
meal at cost.

sonally and privately a great MANY
families In the vicinity Of st. Georges
parish, New York. Many a little ragged
urchin has beer taken uuivering from
the street. at her orders. and fitted out
from head to foot in new warm clothes.
Poverty stricken families huddled to-
gether or the bare floors of a bleak
tenement house nave had their hearts
gladdened by Christmas turkeys and
suitable gifts. Indeed it is said that at
one time Miss Morgan was temporarily
paying the rents Of a dozen families
to help them over a hard pinch.
