ON Big YACHT
Arrive Aboard the Niagara,
on Which They viii Tour
the World.
HAVE PARTY OF GUESTS
Vessel, One of the Largest of Its Kind
AAoat, Is the Property of
Howard Gould.

Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Letter, Of this
city, reached Washington yesterday
morning aboard the magnificent steam
yacht Niagara, in which they will tour
the world. The yacht is at anchor in
the harbor near the War College.
With the Letters were their children
and a party of about fifteen friends.
most of them from Chicago and New
York. They will live aboard the yacht
during its stay here.
The Niagara probably will leave
Washington for Bermuda Saturday or
Sunday. 1t has been gaZed on dur
ing the few hours of its stay here by
several hundred residents in the vi
cinity of the War College.
The boat is the property of Howard
Gould, and was leased by Mr.. Letter
for his tour of the world, which is eN-
pected to consume about a year.
Capt. William Luckett. of 1909 Fifth
Street Southeast, piloted the Niagara
from Old Point Comfort to this city.

Comfort at 1880 o'clock Monday. an
chOred on Yorktown. Va. for several
hours while the party visited points
OF interest in the historic town at
which CORVALLIS surrendered to the
allied armies of France and the United
States during the Revolution.
Encountered Dense Fog.
The voyage was resumed late in the
afternoon. and the Niagara made an
average Of eleven knots. Dense fog
was encountered during most OF the
trip. and the air did not clear until the
yacht was within twenty miles Of
Washington.
This is the first time that the Niagara
has visited Washington. II was brought
up the Potomac several years ago by ITS
owner. Howard Gould. but because he
feared that curious persons might dam
age it, Mr.. Gould had II anchored OIL
Mount Vernon.
As one of the largest yachts afoat. the
Niagara is well known among yachtsmen.
Her gross tonnage is about Loo, and she
is able to store in her hold enough coal
to float her across the Atlantic with ease.
The vessel is 20 feet in length on the
water line. and measures about 2G7 feet
over all, She has three boilers. which
will furnish power sufficient to propel her
through the water at a speed averaging
fifteen or sixteen knots.
Practically the only difference. except
that of size. between the Niagara and
th, most modern OF the transatlantic
steamships is that on rne liners there IS
not so much privacy. There Is a cole
storage plant. in order that no matter
how long the voyage, neither the guests
nor the crew need eat anything even
approaching the salt horse. once :"

BY MARY BOYLE o'REILLY

NEW YORK, Jan. 2s.
I HAVE come to New York to in
vestigate the now famous gar
= ment workers strike.

of my sojourn here on the great,
teeming East Side of Manhattan, be-
fore it was light, and 1 went picket

story.
l talked to the striking girls; /
talked to their leaders and l talked
to their late employers-them who are
resisting, with their power and their
money, the demands of these money

working place.
l have been in this garment work
ers' strike now just six hours, and
in those six hours here are the things

every man and woman in America
who wears clothes should-yes, must
know:
Purely woman's Strike.
This white goods workers strike
| see at once, is a woman's strike
for women, by women, and largely
due to women.
If the strikers win it will be be-
cause they are guided by far-seeine
women; but If they lose it will be

Thousands upon thousands of girls
are out from scores OF shops-big up
town shops-and the squalid factories
of the sweated sub-contractors of the
contractors themselves. For be II
known the luxuries of lingerie and
cheap white goods alike are pro-
duced by girl slaves.
White goods workers of every kind
have always been the poorest paid OF
all our women workers. The girls
now out are young and physically i'm
mature, but old in Industry.
Cannot Live on Wage.
Childlike in appearance or gauni
from the chronic overstrain that
gives no time to make flesh, these
girls, most of them only two or three
years in this country, have learned
that they cannot live on the wage
to earn which they have given, are
giving, their youth.
For one maker of under-muslins
who earns SIS a week, l find that
100 receive IS, 800 receive Sc and 400
from Sc to 81. And this In city
where investigation proves 50 to be
the minimum wage for decent living!
White goods workers have lain
down their needles to sing labor
songs. They march through the
streets martialed by self-sacrificing
and far-seeing women like Leonor
O'Reilly, secretary of the Women's
Trade Union League, the dreamer of
Socialist dreams; Josephine Casey,
the clear-headed organizer, secretary
Of the International Garment Work

reaching state bordering on COM

"As medicine had failed utterly to
help me / was forced to look into

induced me to try course of Grape
Nuts and cream.
