roads themselves will save anyone the

New York. Dec. a9.-The present
strike of the shirt waist makers has
brought Ia tho front a young lady
scarcely out of her teens. of whom the
world is bound In hear more in the
future. Broadly educated, possessed of
strong magnetism and n determination
to succeed i'm whatever she undertakes,
and backed by wealth, Inez Mulhollana
stands today the champion of woman's
rights, whether they are political or
social. 1t VIII he remembered that this
fall she tried to enter Harvard law
school, but was refused admittance on
the ground that the school was not
open to women.
One of the first to come to the aid
of the striking shirt waist makers was
this young girl. who only last June was
graduated from Vassar college. Like
Roosevelt, who organized the Rough
Riders to fight Spain, she organized her
classmates to fight for the shirt-waist
makers. During the early part of the
strike she and her faithful band of
Vassar girls were on constant picket
duty along with those whom they were
to assist
Up in Poughkeepsie they stlrl laugh
at one incident, which shows the de-
termination of this youthful fighter.
Miss Mulholland was even then
strong advocate of womans suffrage
and had been instrumental in securing
one of the leading English suffragists
to address the students of Nassar. A
cold damper, however. was thrown
upon her plans when the authorities

cemetery. adjoining the campus, where,
surrounded by the grim p,emorials to
the dead. they received an impressive
lecture on woman suffrage.
Miss Mulholland's mother was an
actress and she herself Possesses IN
usual ability as an amateur. During
her four years in college she was the
leading factor in all theatrical produc-
tions among the students. She pos
sesses a striking appearance and led
in all college sports. Altogether, she
presents one Of the most interesting
figures in the fight for woman's
rights.
To Continue Fight.
Preparations Were in progress today
for a mass meeting In Madison Square
garden, where $4,000 union shirt waist
makers plan to hold one of the greatest
labor demonstrations i'm New York's
history. The proposed meeting is a
part of the fight the striking women
are making to obtain recognition for
their union.
Following their rejection of propo-
sition which would have ended the
strike today. despite reports that the
Women's Trade union would withdraw
its support, declared their intention of
continuing their fight
II is conceded the whole question Is
now one of recognition of the union
