MRS. RAYMOND ROBIN.
She Organizes Women's Trades Union
Leagues When She Might Be
Travelling in europe.


One of the social phenomena of the
day is the active interest women oi
wealth are taking in the living condi
tions of the women who toll. Not sc
long ago the cynical Characterization
idle, luxury-loving, Indifferent, natively
aristocratic"-could have been applied to
practically all the women whose path in
life was made smooth. But not so to
day; that tradition has ceased to be OF
influence.
Mrs. Raymond Robins of Chicago is
one of those who have been engaged IN
upsetting that tradition. Before hei
marriage Mrs. Robins was Miss Marga
ret Dreier, a member of rich and so
cially prominent Brooklyn, N. y, family
Brilliant beautiful, soundly educated
energetic and philosophical, Miss DreieI
first came into prominence as worker
in the Women's Municipal league. an as
sociation of wealthy and intelligent
women interested in civic reform. From
political activities Miss Dreier turned
her attention 20 problems of labor and
of labor legislation.
When, in 1894, the Womens Trade
Union league was formed in New York
Miss Dreier was unanimously chosen its
first president Her life since that time
has been devoted to the labor problem

working women
Marriage with Mr.. Robins, the re-
former and writer, transferred the scene
of her activities from New York to Chi
cago. Immediately she organized a
branch of the Women's Trade Union
league and became president of the Chi
cago, as well as of the national league.
The league now extends into half a
dozen cities-Boston, Philadelphia,
Cleveland. St Louis, Chicago and New
York.
The Women's Trade Union league eX-
lists to organize women in the trades. 1t
stands for the collective bargain and for
the right of the workers to demand liv-
ing wage and fair working conditions. In
all the recent labor struggles involving
women the league has played promi-
nent part, and its leaders have done val
liable work in mediating between en-
ployers and employed.
What the Strikers Owe Woman.
The great garment workers strike
waged for several months in Chicago
brought the league and Mrs. Robins into
new prominence. Every weekday dur
ing the strike this tireless crusader for
the rights of the weak occupied herself
with organizing forces, raising money,
planning, ordering and comforting with
the leaders of both sides.
Whatever peaceful or advantageous re-
suits came of the strike, the garment
workers of Chicago know and acknowl
edge deep debt of gratitude to Mar
garet Dreier Robins.
Mrs. Robins. while the strike was rag
ing, might have been travelling in Europe
or she might have been presiding over
home of luxury, indulging her love OF
art, literature and music Instead, she
was toiling long hours, enduring the
severest mental strain, tramping through
rain and snow, giving every dollar hel
income would permit, that people not Of
her class, her race, or even of her ac
quaintance-for she can have a persona
acquaintance with but few of the thou
sands of toilers-might live better and
decenter lives.-Hampton's Magazine.

BUSINESS COMMITTEE.
CAN ORGANIZED LABOR STAND FOR
THIS?

(By the Rev. Charles Stelzle.)
John Mitchell has been forced out of
the National Civic Federation. The edict
came from the convention of the United
Mine Workers of America recently held
in Columbus. 1t was voted that either
Mitchell give up his membership in the
National Civic Federation or in the Mine
Workers organization. Here's democ-
racy for you and personal liberty which
gives the ordinary friend of organized
labor a cold chill. 1t will give the enc
mics of trades unionism ammunition for
many a day.
For years | have been going up and
down this country boastng of the
splendid spirit of trades union leaders,
of their fight for the purest democracy
and their demand for square deal; but
what can a man say in the face of this ?
1t is not a question of personal likes or
dislikes: it isn't even question of per-
sonal character. The big principle that
is involved is the right of American
citizen, even though he be trades
unionist, to belong to any kind of an or
ganization that he chooses, provided he
believes that that organization is not
detrimental to the interests of the work
ingman. What right has a convention
of labor-or any other convention-to
dictate what shall be mans religious,
economic or social affiliations? If the
chell. whom, among their number, can
they trust? He has not been found
guilty of treason to organized labor, but
has stood squarely in conventions and
in conferences for an absolutely square
deal to all concerned. Can man do
more than this?
II has been meanly charged that Nit
chell has worn a dress suit and that he
has dined with millionaires. What of
it? If he had cared to do so, he might
have made this a common practice, for
he has hac the opportunity of getting a
better job than the workingmen of this
country have ever offered him. He has
the brains and the ability to make goot
on some of the biggest propositions that
are being offered by the corporations.
|. am sorry-mighty sorry that the
thing has been done. 1t won't hurt Nit
chell 1t will come back as boomerang
upon the men who are responsible for
this foolish and short-sighted policy. But,
worse than this, it will react upon the
entire labor movement in America

ELLIOTT DIES
IN HOUSE WHERE BORN.
Succambs While on Trip in
Search of Health. :

In the house where he was born thir-
ty-four Yeas 60, in Mackey's Ferry,
N. o., ana where he had gone in the
hope of recovering his health, Alder
man William d. Elliott, of 10 Burnet
street, this city, died yesterday from a
complication of diseases. His wife,
who was Miss Elizabeth Suchard,
daughter of Police Sergeant Suchard,
and Mr.. Elliott's brother boarded the
first train last night to the home in
.Maekey's Ferry, where the funeral will
be held.
Alderman Elliott represented the
Democratic voters of the First ward.
He was elected to the council in 1910
by a majority of 1874 over his Republi-
can rival, and was made chairman of
the public schools committee and a
member of the finance, municipal light
ing and Fourth of July celebration
committees.
In 1900, when Mr.. Elliott was mar
ried, he was employed by Francis III.
Leggett & Co., wholesale grocers.
Three years ago he established an ex-
port and wholesale business of his own
at 1886 Park Place, New York. He is
survived by his widow, father and
mother, two brothers and one sister.

NO CASCARET USER
EVER HAS HEADACHE
A l0-cent Box Will Keep Your
Liver, Stomach and Bowels
Clean, Pure and Fresh
for Months.

Sick headache, b~iliousness, dizziness,
coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath-always trace them to torpid
liver, delayed fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in
testines, instead of being cast out OF
the system, is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes conges-
ton and that dull, throbbing, sicken-
ing headache.
Salts, cathartic pills, oil and purga-
tive waters force a passageway for a
day or two-yes-but they don't take
the poisons out and have no effect upon
the liver or stomach.
Casoarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the sour.
undigested and fermenting food and
foul gases, take the excess bile from
the liver and carry out of the system
all the decomposed waste matter and
p~oisons in the intestines and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 1o-cent box
from your druggist means inside clean
illness and a clear head for months.
Ask of the millions OF Cascaret
users If they eve have headache.
