PUNGY CHANGES HANDS.
Sale of the Maggie Marshall-Ves:
sci to Be Rebuilt.

The hull of the old pungy Maggie
Marshall, which has been lying at Alex
andria in a dismasted condition for the
past two years, was recently sold by
Capt. Charley Mckinney to a colored riv-
erman named Massey, who will, it is
stated, rebuild the vessel and put her in
service on the river.
The craft is lying at the Alexandria
shipyard. and will this week be hauled
out on the marine railway for an exam
ination of her hull and to determine ex-
actly what work is necessary to make
the boat fit for service. About two years
ago. while on her way up the river, the
Marshall was caught in a gale and had
both masts broken. In this wrecked con-
dition she was purchased by Capt. Nc
Kenney. who kept her at the Alexandria
wharf as a lay boat for oysters while
the schooner Cora McKenney was down
the river after cargoes of the bivalves.
The Marshall is a vessel OF seventeen
gross tons register and is fifty-one feet
long. She was built at Crisfield. Nd, in
1883. and has been employed in the oyster
trade during the greater part OF her ex-
istence. She will be used. 1t Is stated, as
packet between Alexandria and Piscat-
gay creek and other points on the river.

SCORES OUR MUNICIPALITIES.
City Governments in Germany Fan
Superior, Says Lecturer.

Comparing the administrations of Ger
man and American municipalities, to the
advantage of the former, Dr.. l.. r.
Klemm of the United States bureau of
education last night addressed the Secu-
lar League. in the Pythian Temple. on
city Government"
DIR. Klemm, who has recently travelled
extensively in Europe and spent some
time in Germany, spoke from personal
observation. He declared the average
american city government. to be the
weakest and most inefficient in the world.
This, he said, was due to the divided
responsibility, the lack of correlation OF
city departments and the lack of re-
sponsibility of civic governments.
Following DIR. klemm's address several
members of the league entered into a
discussion of the subject. In the course
Of the evening Prof f. c. Kenny gave
an original recitation entitled The Old
Fifer.'

GARMENT MAKERS URGED
TO FORM ORGANIZATION
Mass Meeting of Workers Ad-
dressed by Leaders at Typo
graphical Temple.

Woman garment workers Of Washing
ton were urged to organize into union
for the purpose Of bringing about better
working conditions at a largely attended
mass meeting held in Typographical Tenn
pie yesterday afternoon under the aus
pices of the American Federation Of La
Dor. Charles D. Seals, general organizer
of the federation, acted as chairman of
the meeting and about five hundred wom-
an workers listened attentively to the ad-
dresses along the lines of organization.
Another meeting will be held Thursday
evening next at Typographical Temple,
when an application for charter will be
drawn up and submitted to the woman
workers present for adoption and plans
for organization perfected.
Protest. Against Bad Conditions.
Mr.. Seals, who is vice president Of the
Central Labor Union, declared at yester-
days meeting that while the conditions
governing the local garment workers are
very much better than in most of the
cities the size of Washington, yet even in
this city, he said there are some shops
where bad conditions prevail; where girls
under fourteen years Of age are employed,
and where woman workers are forced to
work twelve or more hours a day. The
organization of the local woman workers
would not only be a protection to the
workers; he declared, but would certainly
help the employers, for women are in
some cases obliged to seriously impair
their health by working overtime because
the employer is forced to exact 1t by the
wrong kind of competition.
Following Mr.. Seals address, Mrs. Har-
riet HeftOn, president of the District
branch of the New York Women's Trade
League, who figured prominently in the
recent New York and Chicago garment
workers strike, urged organization.
Favors Keeping "White List"
Mrs. Hefton favored white list in
stead of the customary BLACK list" While
she deplored strikes, and all such extreme
methods for securing relief from the
various forms Of discomfort and oppres-
sion of working women, she said her ex-
periences in the New York shirt waist
makers strike, which was won by the
women, convinced her that the general
public would not condOne the disgusting
and horrible conditions which existed in
many workshops in the cities.
Mrs. Hefton also advocated syste-
matte tabulation of the wages, hours and
conditions of the various shops. whereby
the organization can tell at any time
very promptly what is going on in any
given place. BY this regular method of
doing things, she said, both employer and
employee would be benefited, for the former
could use the record as well as the worker,
thus insuring protection against unjust
accusations.
Mrs. Mary Leavitt president of the
District of Columbia Woman's Sufragette
Association, also spoke. urging Organiza-
ton of women for securing their rights
and for the attainment OF better work
ing conditions generally.
