WOMEN WORKERS.

II HE National Women's Trade Union League
= held a convention in Chicago a few days
ago. 1t was largely attended gathering and
many topics of interest to working women were
discussed in a practical and not sentimental
manner To the working women these ques-
'tions come into their everyday life. Their dis
cussion therefore is not like that of well-to-do
people who feel that they should take an interest
IN various matters and therefore lend hand in
doing for Others although the results of their
efforts do not personally concern themselves
The delegates TO the congress were persons who
actually work and have personal knowledge of
the matters they discuss. Many working wo-
men are organized, and as the number of
Women workers increases their organizations
VIII become stronger and stronger
Inc Congress at Chicago considered many
hlatters OF importance 20 women workers. One
OF these was an injunction secured in Chicago
restraining the enforcement OF the ten hour law
Tor women. There is no reason why the hours
Tor labor OF women should not be as short as
those Tor men. If men industrial workers are
able to enforce the eight hour law, the wo-
should do the same.
The League was confronted with the question
OF young women workers who expect "to be
married soon, and therefore do not see how the
League could benefit them That the delegates
found was difficult problem and it always will
be because most employed women have no idea
OF working all their lives.
The League has planned many benefits for its
members, including system of low priced med
ical attendance. good music and the cultivation
of social intercourse among men and women
members Of unions 1t has encouraged interest
in the higher and broader political and industrial
questions. Measures that it hopes to obtain
Through legislation will meet with the approval
of many employers. Some of these measures
are better protected machinery, sanitary work
lshops, reasonable conveniences, elimination ci

TROLLEY FREIGHT SERVICE.

HE Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company
a will operate market car service between that
city and Bucks county and the Chester Times
thinks that the purchase of the Philadelphia,
Morton and Swarthmore Company. which built
the Chester and Media line, means that a market
or freight service will be established on that
system If a market car service can be operated
satisfactorily from Bucks county, the Times sees
no reason why the trolley lines in Delaware
county should not put on similar service The
Times points out that milk has been carried for
years by trolley in the upper part of Delaware
county, and it looks for the day when the trolley
companies will be carrying fruit and other pro-
ducts Of the Delaware peninsula to Chester AM
neighboring cities Our Chester contemporary
adds that "it is remarkable that the electric
railway companies have been so long in deciding
to enter this field in active competition with the
steam roads"
In some places the trolley companies have
been carrying freight for years. The New
Castle and the Peoples line that run into this
city have done a considerable freight business.
not so large however as one would think they
should do. But there has been no trolley freight
traffic between this city and Chester.
One argument in favor of extending the Della
ware City line down through the state is that
il would supply additional freight facilities TO
the farmers of the lower counties. There is no
doubt about the need of facilities that the far
mers would use more extensively than they use
the railroad service. Vegetables for which city
residents are forced to pay high price are sold
for almost nothing or are allowed to 20 to waste
in the fields in Kent county, for example The
question of transportation seems to be difficult
to solve to the satisfaction OF all concerned.

DEMOCRATS SHOWING THEIR HAND.

YES OF Democrats in the other counties
- are naturally fixed upon Kent where the
party is in control For a long time the Demo-
Gratis were out Of power in all the counties, and
they had no political responsibility they were
free to crticise the Republicans They thought
the people were likely to forget the old days OF
Democratic control of the state During the
campaign the Democratic orators pictured the
party as practically a new thing If given con-
troll it would work wonders and manage the
affairs of the state in a way that would make the
Republicans take to the woods. The Democrats
got CONTROL Of Kent and they have been on the
defensive ever since.
Their newspapers print words OF caution and
declare how important it is that the Democrats
in Office should make good party record. That
is true, from their point OF view, but we con-
lecture that the voters OF Kent have already
decided that the Democrats are long on promise
airs short on performance. The party has done
nothing in tlfe-way of advancing public improve
ments and those in control have shown no dispo-
stion to be particularly economical, although
talk about economy is the card that the Demo
Gratis have been constantly playing. Instead of
keeping expenses down, the Democrats are in
clined to increase them.
The Dover Republican has unearthed queer
story of how the Democrats have increased the
cost of purchasing books for the Recorders
office and no satisfactory explanation has been
given by the Democrats. And the books, it
seems. were purchased from an outside firm,
although previously they had been bought
through a Dover man.
But such stories as these are not surprising.
One of the first things our Democratic Council
in Wilmington did was to increase salaries OF
scrne of the city employees and that after a cam
paign in which they had severely criticised Re
publicans Tor alleged extravaganza.

USE FOR OLD HAY BARRACKS

A Wisconsin swine breeder, Mr.. L

down to within FIVE or six feet from
the ground. Necessarily these holes
have to be bored carefully, the posts
set at equal depth in the ground and
perfectly plumb. Otherwise roof will
only be raised with great difficulty
and will not rest even above the stack
The posts are generally set from ten
to twelve feet apart thereby allowing
the building Of a square stack of good
size. The roof, preferably made Of
matched lumber, is supported by four
2x4s which rest upon the iron eye
bolts passing through the eye holes.
1t Is always better to have the roof
project a foot or so beyond the corner
posts to better protect the stack from
the weather. Care, however, should
be taken to keep the roof sufficiently
light for easy raising.

USES FOR ADHESIVE PLASTER

Found Valuable.

A trained nurse was responsible fol-
the sugs ion that made strips of ad
hesive plaster a household friend IL
one family. The nurse said that ir
the hospitals she used this plaster fol
everything she wanted to label. It Is
easy to write on, can be cut any de
sired shape, and adheres quickly and
firmly.
She labeled all her different medi.

diet kitchen for different supplies. II
could be removed without the dis
agreeable crumbling Of paper when It
became soiled.
Since then the family has never
been without a supply Of adhesive"
as the nurse called It. It Is used for
every purpose, from marking pre-

The plaster can either be bought
wound on spools, or what is much
cheaper, In sheets about a half yard
long, which can be easily cut or torn

largest and best-shaped stack.
Over there they make both oblong,
square and round stacks. / have seen
