ROCKEFELLER A POET.
In Verse He Told Nurses to Hold
Their Tongues.

New York, May 1S.-John D. Rookie
Teller blossomed out as a poet at the
opening exercises at the Metropolitan
training school for nurses on Black
wells Island last night when William
Rhinelander Stewart read the following
lines by the multi-millionaire to the ia
young women nurses:
"a wise old owl sat on an oak;
The more he saw the less he spoke;
The more he spoke the less he heard,
Why can't you be like that wise old
bird?"
Jos. H. Choate, formerly ambassador
to Great Britain. who also was a speak
er, declared that both Mr.. Rockefeller
and Mr.. Stewart possessed more cour-
age than he did to address ia women

WASP WAIST TO CO..
London Modistes Agree Upon Twenty.
six Inches as Correct Measure.

six Inches as Correct Measure.
A twenty-six inch waist Is the de-
cree for the winter. Most modistes
and corsetieres are combining with
each other to give the fashionable fg.
ure additional girth, a startling change
from the extreme attenuations Of the
recent directoire vogue.
Mrs. Elinor Temple. n OF the many
upper class women who have taken to
trade in England. is impressing upon
the society women who consult her in
her capacity as n corset scientist that
they must develop a twenty-six inch
waist in readiness for the new winter
fashions.
This is a reasonable and setisfac-
tory waist measurement for a woman
of average size" explains Mrs. Temple.
To cultivate waist. and waist only. is.
she says. an aesthetic as we'll as n phys
ical mistake. Mrs. Temples strongest
lever with her feminine patrons is.
however. her assurance that the Eng
lishman has ceased to admire the wasp

A famous modiste, Lady Dun Cor
don. the Lucille Of Hanover square.
London, is taking an active part in the
"big waist" movement. A short time
ago she announced that all the models
in her showroomS must have a uni
form waist measurement Of twenty
four and n half inches. There was an
outcry from the manikins. some of
whom had been brought up under the
old regime when the fashionable mo-
diste's model was required to lace in to
eighteen inches.
pad your corsets out" was Lucile's
reply to this protest. and that is how
the manikins at this celebrated estab-
lishment are able to show the correct
waist.

WOMEN LAUD UNIONS
Leaders In Movement Tell Why
They Are Unionists.
STRENGTH IN ORGANIZATION.
Individually Workers Lack Power to
Improve Their Condition - Better
ment Can Be Attained Only Through
United Effort.

From all over the world there gath
cred at the recent biennial session of
the Women's Trade Union league at
Chicago leading lights in the move
ment to improve the condition of wo-
men workers.. That they believe in
their cause and have reasons for that
belief can be understood from the
statements given below. They were
prepared especially for the Workers
Magazine by these leading officials Of
the league:
Miss Mary Macarthur. secretary Of
the Women's Trade Union League Of
Great Britain and Ireland and the only
woman member of the executive coun-
Gil Of the Independent Labor party Of
England. wrote:
Il became a union worker by accident
at the age of nineteen. AS a journalist
l attended a labor meeting in a country
town in Scotland to get material for a
skit. At this meeting there were six
members on the platform and five in
the hall. all jumping up and down and
arguing organization.
Il had gone there to make fun Of the
radicals. who held their meetings in a
miserable hole above a fish shop. but
while there on my frivolous errand l
became converted and joined the little
band.
My father was most angry. as he did
not approve of the union. l endeav-
ored to make him see things in the
same light in which l did. but it was
impossible. and l was finally compelled
to leave home. as the unpleasantness
there was such it was almost unbear-
able.
In order to fully understand the la
Dor situation l gave up journalism and
took a position as clerk in a London
store at a salary Of $3.50 a week. This
was in 1908. when Lady Dixie. who
was one Of the founders Of the Wo-
mems Trade Union league. was arous-
ing SO much enthusiasm through her
talks and personal work.
Il became acquainted with her, and
she appointed me secretary Of the or
ganiZation. At that time it had a
, membership OF only 10000. At the
present time there are over 200, 600
members.
Il love my work-every portion Of 1t.
Often I am called upon to settle
strikes. which, say it without mean
ing to boast-I always do. 1t is the
union first. last and always with me-"
Miss Louise La Rue. secretary Of the
San Francisco Mattresses union, con-
tributed the following:
Until the union came into existence
the life Of a waitress was not a pleas
ant life to lead. Long hours. little pay
and much OF this being condscated
each week to pay for broker dishes
went far to make the waitress one of
the most unhappy working girls in the
world.
