testimony from various employees and
shop foremen and representatives of Ia
Dor organizations. upon which 1t will base
the report which 1t Is required to make
to Congress before December II next
The chairman of the committee is him
self q labor unionist. being secretary of

William r. Hearst Of New York. in a
statement given out for publication here,
predicts defeat of the democratic party
in the New York elections this fall. which
will be due, he thinks, to dissatisfaction
with democratic leadership and Tammany

The statement concluded as follows:
1.-THE present leadership Of the demo-
cratic party In New York Is not In SYM
patty with the democracy Of the nation
nor in harmony with the democratic
masses OF its own constituency The
democratic party Of New York will be
defeated at this election. and can only
be saved from continual defeat and s.
grace by finally and forever deposing as
leaders the unworthy. incompetent and

INTEREST IN LEAGUE
Large Attendance Likely at
Meeting to Form Branch.
AIDS WOMEN WHO WORK
Aim Is to Improve Conditions in
Factories and Stores-Mrs.
Kelley to Speak.

| Wide interest is being manifested in
| the project to form in Washington
branch of the National Consumers
League, whereby Washington men and
women can join in a nationwide move
| ment for curing the plague spots in fac
| tories and in the homes of workmen
and workwomen. Inquiries have been
| pouring in to the leaders of the local
! movement and indications point to an
suspicious start.
A large attendance is promised for the
organization meeting of the District of
Columbia branch, which is to be held to-
| morrow afternoon at 400 o'clock and
for which Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore W.
Noyes have given the use of their resi-
dence at 1880 New Hampshire avenue.
1t is announced that the meeting. which
is free, is open to all those interested in
the object Of the society-to improve the
working conditions specially among
women and girls and generally among
all toilers in shop and store.
Formerly Of Hull House.
Mrs. Florence Kelley, general secretary
Of the National Consumers League. who
| is to outline it's aims and accomplish
| ments at tomorrows meeting, is the
daughter of "Pig-iron'' Kelley Of Penn
sylvania, who served so long in the
national House of Representatives that
he was frequently referred to as the
Father of Congress. She has been
deeply interested in sociological prob
| lens, and while identified with Hull
House in Chicago she gave much of her
| time to the inspection of factories. There
she learned much of conditions among
working women and girls, which the Ma
tional Consumers League is striving to
improve. She left the social settlement
work Of the Windy city to take up the
Consumers League work and she has been
a dynamic force in its progress She
travels almost continuously, giving her
time chiefly to the organization of branch
leagues in cities and towns. Those who
Ihave heard Mrs. Kelley describe her as
an eloquent, interesting and inspiring
lecturer"
Has Spread to Europe.
While the National Consumers League
strives for the Improvement of working
conditions in the United States. the plan
of getting the cooperation of buyers to
patronize only those factories and stores
which furnish sanitary and fair condi-
tons for it's employees has spread to
other nations, and reports to the Ameri-
can society indicate that the success with
which the efforts have met here has been
duplicated abroad. From Paris comes
this statement of the work of the Con-
sumers' League in Europe:
"In France we have fought for the
needle workers, and the first result Of
our labor has been that since the first
of July, 1870 night work has been abOl-
ished in all the sewing factories of
France by special decree.
I'm Switzerland, 1t is the workers in
the chocolate factories who have attract
ed and held the attention of the members
of the league. In Germany the clerks
lhave been the object of their solicitude,
etc. But, besides this very well defined
action there is another: The role OF the
Consumers League is that Of educator
public opinion"

but at the tunnel level, it is large
