BOSTON PLANS FOR A
HOsTELRY FOR WOMEN
Industrial Organization Starts
Movement For Better Accomo-
dations For Workers.

AT a recent joint meeting of the
Woman's Industrial and Rescue
lseagt and the Wefnan,s Homestead
Association, held 81 short time ago
in Boston, a movement to provide a
hotel for industrial women was or
gained.
In statistics given out at the meet
ing in regard to the comparative pro-
vision of Boston for girls dependent
upon their own efforts to live 1t is
asserted that this city has $4,000
homeless women who live in lodging
houses.
Department stores and other EN-.
pioyers prefer girls who live at home,
and orphans and others who have no
home have no protection and a poor
class of employment.
New York has ten modern hotels
and fiat houses for this class OF
women who receive less than ten doll
lars week. Providence has two
such hotels. The board and room,
charge at these hotels is from $i.30
TO SO per week.
Boston. ii IL said. has fewer hotels
for industrial women than any other
city in the United States. Rents are
higher and accommodations are poorer,
Unsanitary buildings bring higher
rent than elsewhere. yet the class Of
women mentioned are obliged to live
in them. ~

Governmental Investigations.
BY FREDERIC j.. HAsKIN.

OF the New York custom house In
1877. Chester A. Arthur was then
collector. He was identified with Ros-
Goa Ceakling, and President Hayes
wanted to. remove him. Conkling
fought It tooth and nail, but Arthur
was forced out. Hayes then sent to
the Senate for confirmation as collec-
tor the name of a man who has since
become great factor In American
poiitics--Theodore Roosevelt AL
though no charges were filed against
him. he failed of confirmation. The
failure was not because of the lack
of fitness of the appointee, but be-
cause OF the pique OF Roscoe Conk-
ling. 1t Is perhaps the only time in
the history of the country that one
future President Of the United States
was removed from a collectorship and
another failed of confirmation as his
successor. This overhauling of the
custom Office was almost as thorough
as the one Collector Loeb has been
making.
There were perhaps more investi-
cations of scandals In the seventies
than in any other decade of Ameri-
can history. The disputes of the rival
governments in some of the States, as
in Louisiana, led to prolonged inQui-
Mississippi were made the subject of
congressional Investigations.
greatest of all the scandals of this
PERIOD was the Credit Mobilier, In
W iffs,if frrry- wcff=kuUwn- grHrgsmEN
were involved. James G.. Blaine and
the famous Mulligan letters figured In
this affair. Muliigan had been a clerk
to gentleman with whom Blaine had
correspondence. He secured Blaine's
letters, brought them to Washington
and exhibited them. Blaine made an
appointment with him to examine the
letters. Thinking the Maine states
man was acting in good faith, Multi
gan showed them to him. Blaine
promStly put them in his pocket and
announced that no power under heav-
en- could force him to give them Mp.
He afterwards did offer to make them
public, but Muliigan always declared
that Blaine kept back the really in
eliminating ones. A prolonged exam
ination OF the Credit Mohilier affair
was made In Congress. but only two
of its members were recommended for
expulsions
Other famous Investigations of this
period were those dealing with the
whiskey frauds. the quartcrmasters'
claims. the ship subsidy scandal. the
Iilden capner message. the star route
cases, the public land frauds and the
railroad Hobbies. 1t was in one of
these cases that Senator Hoar, thee
almost a new member, declared that
every step of the building of tho
Union Pacific Railroad. from its in
eeptien to Its completion, had been
stepped in fraud.
