TO HELP WORKING WOMEN
In view of the conditions disclosed
by the recent agitation on the sub
ject of starvation wages paid to
working women, the following reso-
luton adopted at the convention Of
the American Federation of Labor in
Seattle is of considerable moment:
Whereas, Coincident with the I'M
precedent development of industry,
with its new problems and perplexi-
ties, countless thousands of women
and girls have been drawn into ser
vice as wage-earners, receiving for
their labor wages wholly inadequate
to support themselves properly; and
Whereas, The American Fedora
ton of Labor and its affiliated ma
tional and international unions have
always felt and expressed keen solicit
tude for the welfare of women work
ers and to the extent of their re-
sources have sought to bring about
the organization of women, to the
end that these workers might enjoya
greater measure of protection as
wage-earners; and
Whereas, The time seems propi-
tious for inaugurating an aggressive
movement which promises to result
in the organization of the great army
Of women and girls now part of our
industrial life; therefore be it
Resolved, That this, the thirty
third Annual Convention of the
American Federation of Labor, au-
thorize and direct the Executive
Council of the American Federation
of Labor to levy-at whatever time it
may see fit during the year 1914-an
assessment of one cent upon the
membership of all affiliated unions,
the money derived therefrom to be
expended by direction of the Execu-
tive Council in whatever manner it
may deem best and of the greatest

In every home there should be a

the conference committee struck out
the senate rate and restored bananas
to the free list of the house bill.
Woolen Schedule.
Very few changes were made In the
wooden schedule. The senate was sus-
tanned by the conference committee In
its amendments fixing the dates when
wool duties shall go into effect. Com
promises were made by the conference
committee between senate and house
rates, by which wool tops will bear a
duty of 10 per cent and yarns a duty
of IS per cent.
The senate sought to reduce the duty
on wooden blankets and to free list
blankets valued at not more than 40
cents a pound, but the conference com
mittee rejected the amendment, and
all blankets will bear duty at % per
cent ad valorem. The house rates of
30 per cent ad valorem on carpets and
rugs were adopted by the conference.
A compromise was reached on the
paragraphs relating to angora goat
hair, alpaca, by which the hair will
pay duty of Is per cent; tops from
such hair, % per cent, and pushes, vel
vet and other fabrics. As per cent
Sundries.
The conference committee adopted
the action of the senate, placing full
inmates and gunpowder on the free
list. There was a compromise on the
paragraph relating to furs, but general
ly the house rates were restored.
The senate rates prevailed as to lace
curtains and laces and the, house won
by having restored the paragraph in
the house bill covering chamois skins
and glove feathers, by which the for
mer were made dutiable at Is per cent,
and the latter at 10 per cent There
was a compromise on the glove SEIZED
ule between senate and house rates
and the senate's action in free listing
harness, saddles and saddlery parts
was approved by the conference COM
mittee, although the house bill had
made them dutiable at 20 per cent
The only substantial victory won by
the house in the free list was as to
free art.
Here are rates of the new tariff COM
pared with the PayneAldrich law:

DON'T CALL
HELLO" CIRLSFOR
FIRE INFORMATION

At the meeting of the Directors Of
the Street and Sewer Department to-
day George w. Sparks, president of
the board, asked a representative Of
the Diamond State Telephone Com
pany why it was almost impossible
to get persons over the telephone for
considerable time after an alarm Of
fire. Mr.. Sparks said that he had
been greatly inconvenced by inability
to call subscribers of the telephone
company following the striking Of
an alarm of fire and that he had
heard many other complaints Of the
same nature.
The representative Of the company
said the delay was caused by the
great number Of subscribers who try
TO get information regarding the loca-
ton of the fire from the telephone
company. He said the 20 per cent oi
the subscribers did this and as a re-
suit the girls could not answer all o
the calls. The company has discon
tinued the giving Of this information
and It will be useless 70 call centra
for such information hereafter.
