WOMEN'S TRADE UNIONS
Effectiveness Shown By the Shirtwaist Girls Strike
They Do and Stand For-Part Played BY
Women's Trade Union League
ALICE HENRY
o. Woman's Department Union Labor Advocate

1t is but six years since the league be-
gan Its work In Boston. The national
headquarters are in Chicago and the
president is Mrs. Raymond Robins. She
is fired with a religious enthusiasm for
the welfare of the young working girl.
There are now local branches in New
York, Boston, Chicago. st. Louis. Spring
field ILL.,, and Philadelphia, Cleveland
and other cities are coming in line.
The league is an expression of the
mother spirit of the women of this CONT
nent, watching over the young growing
girl, helping her to relate herself to her
brothers in the labor union and to her
sisters who are in the service of the home
and the child. Everyone can belong. 1t
Is not only gathering together of wom-
ems unions. 1t provides a fellowship to
which can belong, the working woman
and the woman of leisure and the wom-
ans club anxious to help in bringing
about the shorter working day, wage on
which girl can live, and in Fastening
the time when all dangerous machinery
will be protected, and every factory we'll
lit and protected. Anywhere and every
where the man or woman who wants to
see the precious gift OF the girlhood of
each generation conserved as carefully
the forests or the waters can help by
joining.
1t is a wonderful training school for its
members. The inexperienced worlk-girl
and the woman who has never had to
earn her own living come into touch
with some of the wonderful personalities
who, under the prosaic title of business
agent, are helping other working girls
to know their own powers.
Here Is how one business agent Melin-
da Scott, handled a situation that the I'M
protected young factory worker has to
face often. A little Polish factory girl
was insulted by foreman. She COM
planned to the superintendent, but was
told 1t must have been her own fault.
She sent to the owner of the factory
registered letter and obtained the official
receipt. No reply was forthcoming.
Melinda Scott as business agent was now
appealed to. She went straight to the
superintendent and told him she would
call shop with 10 minutes if this fore
man was not made to publicly apologize.
The employer was telephoned for. He
came in his motor and within the Is min
utes the foreman was asked for an ex-
PLANTATION he could not give. Very WELL"
said the employer pointing to Miss Scott,
you do as she says and apologize"
The foreman did what was asked, and
the same day received his walking pa
pers.

doc" McDonough has returned to
Broadway after an absence OF more
than two months. says the New York
Press He went into retreat on Fri
day. November 10. 1909. The doc"
is a great believer in lunches. When
he gets a hunch good and strong he
plays 1t to the limit.
The DOC" never had a stronger
hunch than on that November day.
That 1t was the thirteenth of the
month and a Friday was a combina-
tion worthy of anyone's notice, but
what was more significant to the Doc
was the fact that in one of the races
that day there were 13 horses entered
and one of the 13 had 13 letters in his
name.
There was nothing for a man to do
under such circumstances but bet the
bank roll and then lend the family
jewels to Mr.. Simpson or some other
friend. The Doc let every one in on
the good thing and there was a play
on the 13 horse that day such as there
never was before.
And the hunch was correct. The
horse ran thirteenth.

KING OUTLINES POLICY
Reads Address at Opening Of
British Parliament.

London, Feb. 22.-King Edward
opened in state the third parliament
of his reign. In a momentous speech
from the throne his majesty outlined
the plan of the ministerial campaign
against the house of lords as follows:
Recent experience has disclosed
serious difficulties, due to recurring
differences of strong opinion between
the two branches Of the legislature.
Proposals will be laid before you with
all convenient speed to define the re-
lations between the houses of parlia-
ment so as to secure the undivided
authority of the house of commons
over finance and it's predominance in
legislation. These measures, in the
opinion of advisers, should provide
that this house should be SO consti-
tuted and empowered as to exercise
impartially in regard to proposed leg
islation."
The kings speech, which had been
awaited with such profound interest,
proved to be unusually brief and made
plain that the work of the session
would be confined to the matter of
finance and the question of the house
of lords.

CHAMBERLAIN TAKES OATH
Former British Leader Appears in
House of Commons.

London, Feb. 17.-For the first time
since he was stricken with paralysis
years ago Joseph Chamberlain put in
an appearance in the house of com
mons and took the oath as a member
of the new parliament. The advent
of the tariff reformer was quite uneX-
pected and afforded a dramatic sur
prise for the officials and members
who were being sworn in. Mr.. Cham
berlain walked with marked difficulty,
being assisted by his son, Joseph
Austen Chamberlain, and Lord Nor
peth.
Mr.. Chamberlain advanced to a
front seat before the bench, where the
oath was administered. When the
membership roll was placed before
him for his signature he required the
aid of Austen, who signed the name of
the father, the latter appending his
mark. Still supported on either side
Mr.. Chamberlain moved to the speak
er's chair and shook hands with Mr..
Lowther.
Then the famous leader made his
way slowly from the chamber within
which SO many stirring episodes of
his life have occurred.

In NORTH DAKOTA
News Of The Week From Vari-
GUS Parts Of the State
BANK CASHIER is ARRESTED
Accused Falsitying Reports TO
Bank Examiner,

Ralph G. Sowle, formerly cashier
of the Bowesmont State bank, was
placed in Jail at Pembina accused
of forgery in connection with falsify-
ing reports to the state bank exam
incl The shortage in bills receivable
is alleged to be $1,000, the amount of
personal overdraft is charged to be
$4,000, while the amount of alleged
misrepresentation Of bank funds is not
known, but may reach several thou
sand dollars. When the bank was
closed recently by the state bank ex-
aminer there was $125 cash in the
institution.
The true condition of the bank will
not be known until Receiver Thomp-
son makes his report. Cashier SowIe
has resided at Bowesmont for about
five years, his former home being in
Minneapolis. His wife has resided
there for the past year or so and is
there at present. States, Attorney
Brynjolfson stated that in all probab-
ility further arrests would be made.
Officials are at a loss to explain the
uses to which the missing funds were
put, as Sowle did not gamble nor
drink. It is generally believed that
his unfamiliarity with the banking
business is responsible for his present
situation.

CAN GET FREE EDUCATION
College Course Open to Man Who Will
Abide by Conditions.

Any Christian young, man in North
Dakota can now ecure a college edu-
cation free, provided an agreement is
signed whereby the beneficiary will
agree never SO long as he lives, to
touch a drop of Intoxicating liquor or
use tobacco in any form.
This premium on abstentious living
is provided by the will of the late
Charles Botsford, a Boston paper and
Irvine wholesaler, which was filed for
probate in Boston. Mr.: Botsford left
a large estate, the estimated value of
which uns well over 100000, and af-
ter making several minor charitable
requests his will orders that the res
idue of the property shall go to edu-
cate the youth of North Dakota who
are willing to, sign the stipulated
pledge.
In life Botsford was a strong advo-
cate of the prohibition cause. That,
coupled with the fact that a part Of
his life had been spent in North Da-
kota, explains his unusual will.
The minor requests also are princi-
pally for the benefit of the temperance
movement.
Not only are the Western boys who
would profit by Mr.. Botsford's will to
agree to taboo liquors and tobacco, but
they must also promise that no "other
narcotic shall be used by them.
Those who comply with the conditions
will be educated at the Fargo college.

a tugboat Pisagua, arriving here
reports that the Chilean cruiser Min.
lStre Zenteno has rescued the eighty.
eight persons who had been left on
the wreck Of the British steamer
Lima, in the Huamblin passage, Strait
of Magellan.
When the cruiser arrived at Huam-
bin passage she found eighty-six of
the Survivors still clinging to the
wreck. Two others had reached shore,
Those on the wreck were taken off in
small boats with the aid of lines at
taching the cruiser to the wreck. The
two who had gotten ashore were
picked up later.
The Lima was rapidly breaking up
when the warship arrived.
The Lima stranded on Searle point,
IN Huamblin passage, after being rem
dered HELPLESS in the storm.
Over 200 of the passengers were
taken off by a British steamer, which
was forced to abandon rescue work
because all of it's boats were put out
OF service by the heavy waves. This
steamer then left the wreck and hur-
ried to Valparaiso to summon further
assistance. Six steamers were at
once dispatched in a race south to
the Lima, one of which was the Chill
can warship Ministre Zenteno, which
outstripped the others and reached
the scene of the wreck first and in
time to rescue all of those remaining
on the stranded vessel.
