TEACHER WINS LONG FIGHT

= Miss Anna H. Schneider, former
school teacher, who lost her job in
1903 for alleged classifying of records
and who has been fighting for the po-
sition since, will get her old place
back.
g Her case has bobbed up numer-
Gus times since the woman was fired
by Edwin Cooley, former sup't of
schools, and has attracted consid-
cradle attention. A committee spent
some time looking into Cooley's
charges of Justification and gave
Miss Schneider complete white
wash.
Mrs. Young asked the school man
agement committee for an educa-
tional secretary for her Office. She
said that there had been none since
February. 1912, and offered to pay
part of the wages out of her salary.
Her request was granted.

SAYS HE KNEW LUDLOW HOR-.
RoR WAS COMING OFF

Denver, Col, Dec. 12.-"I knew the
Ludlow tent colony was to be burned
hours before it was set on fire."
This was the testimony of H. G.
Farber, station agent and telegraph
operator at Ludlow, Col, yesterday
before the federal commission on in
dustrial relations.
He added that he could not tell
definitely from what source he got
his knowledge. Farber also testified
that he witnessed the entire battle of
Ludlow and he asserted that the first
shooting came from Water Tank hill,
where the soldiers were stationed.
This contradicts the testimony given
at various inquiries by officers and
men of the national guard.
Lieut.. K. E. Linderfelt, one-of the
officers in command of the militia
during the battle of Ludlow, testified
regarding his military training. He
declared he regarded the Southern
Colorado coal strikers as rebels
against the state and, as such, not en-
titled to more consideration than any
other rebels. '--.-.

she went back and asked for a perma-
nent position. She waited for the
permanent position to be offered to her
but she waited in vain.
The one thing that is needed in this
great CITY," Miss Jupp concluded after
waiting for long time, "is an employ,
ment agency for office workers; some
place where a worker can make him.
self known and can be properly judged
and some place where busy employers
can turn for Just the right person
Miss Jupp knew that she herself would
be a valuable asset to some business
Office and she knew that there were
other women in the same position.
As soon as Miss Jupp realized that
there was need for this sort of agency
she had but one idea as to her future
eourse-that was to be an agent her
self. So she opened her little Office,
paid the rent. and fitted if up with her
small savings. And she spent a great
deal of her spare time opposing the
arguments of her friends, who assured
her that she was sinking money in a
ditch and that she couldn't possibly dc
aught but fail.
In the meantime, while she was wait
ing for her clisntage to materialize, Miss
Jupp turned her own spare time to the
work of a public stenographer. She
did copying, mimeographing, and cir
cularizing for the people in the Office
who had no stcnographers or who
wanted extra work done, so that from
the first she was sure Of covering office
expenses. Her usual day was from

through her Office at the rate of some
three hundred a day.
Miss Jupp does not rest. She sizes
up the requirements of the business
man from his hurried call and from her
experience of New York Offices, and
she sizes up the applicants for work by
few questions and by close, keen OBJ
servation of thousand details OF dress.
diction and gesture as they file by.
Miss Jupp's early ambition was TO
be missionary to India Her childish
dreams never wandered to such a mat
ter-of-fact locality as New York. That
city, to be sure, lay on the way 70
India. put that was all The fe1soa
for this early ambition was that Miss
JuPp came from a family of ;amou:
missionaries up in Vermont, and some
how achievement in that family always
meant a missionary's career
When Miss Jupp was about .wenty
size went down to New York to visit
friends. She was a wholesome, lager
!oung country girl, and her eyes opcL-
ed IN wider and wider astonishmeEI as
the wonders of the great city were re-
vealed to her She made up her mind
once and for all that she would never
go back to the farm. that she would
stay in New York for the rest of her
life, and with this determination visions
of missions and India vanished forever.
Since then Miss Jupp has found that
there is just as large a field for mission
ary endeavor in the busy streets of
downtown New York as there is IN
India.
OF course, reasoned Miss Jupp. if
she were to remain in New York she
must do something to earn her living.
She had no right to expect a family

But, honest, the way Perky does the

is from an Ella Wheeler Wilcox poem.
Yes, as different as they are when the
railroad is carrying freight at loss
and Ella Wheeler Wilcox is extra spe-
cial passionate. I'd be as surprised il

ness" said Miss Jupp the other day,
but long. hard work. and the only key
to this is physical strength and en-
durance."
One thing Miss Jupp never did as
she sat in her little ofice-she never
worried over the future. she never took
thought for the morrow. She just did
every days work as it came along. She
never dreamed of the time when, in
stead of a half dozen applicants a
day. she would have 900. or of the day
when men like J. D. Rockefeller would
ask her to help to get an efficient stenog-
rapher. Miss Jupp's mind does not
work IL that way. 1t goes ahead by
seizing opportunities as they come, but
never by dreaming OF them before they
come.
About FIVE years ago, there was a
great deal OF talk in New York abo-t
the need of Spanish stenographers. Our
business relations with the countries TO
the south of Us were increasing md busi-
ness men were every day calling for
stenographers who could handle the
correspondence connected with this
business Some of these appeals came
to Miss Jupp. Miss Jupp has talent
for making the most of immediate OBJ
portuaity.
"Nou want Spanish stenographers !;
then shall produce theu:," she said.
And straightway she started a scnool
for the teaching OF commercial Spanish.
she employed a Spanish lawyer, who
was glad of the extra work, as teacher,
and Immediately young men and women
employed during the day time focked
20 her office on certain evenings of the
week to learn Spanish. Within a year
there were many graduates from Miss
Jupp's Spanish classes who were able
TO qualify as Spanish stenographers and
thereby increase their earning power
some IS per cent. The Spanish classes
have dw:rilsd now. TheCe is almost

But while the demand lasted Miss Jupp
was able to gain from it . good busi-

as reluctant to wed as an elephant is
to loop the loop in an aeroplane.

ILess profit. The slump in the demand
came Immediately after the beginning
of the Mexican disturbances.
"And as soon as our business with
the Spanish-speaking nations resumes I
shall be one of the first to feel it" says
Miss Jupp.
Miss Jupp's years Of successful ex-
perience have made her an authority
on the subject of the working woman
and the office boy in New York-espe-
cially the working girl And here are
some OF the conclusions she has reached:
New York is overcrowded with work
ers. There aren't enough jobs for
them. The big opening lies in other
fields and every week Miss Jupp sees
girls who have had a hard time in the
city going out to the newly opened Sec
tions OF the West, to South America, to
Australia, and to Panama and finding
there openings they did not dream of
IN the big city.
There is little room in New York for
the uneducated office worker. New York
business men are coming to realize that
there is greater economy in employing
few well-educated stenographers than
a good many inefficient ones. Rents are
too high and Office space is too valuable
in Manhattan to give room to the inefi-
cient.
But ineficiency as an Office worker
does not imply ineficiency in other lines,
argues Miss Jupp. The girl who would
make 4 good milliner, a good dress
maker, a good housemaid, good cook,
might make a wretchedly inefficient
office worker, she should try some other
line of notwithstanding, millinery,
or Whatever it may be.
Miss Jupp is herself good exponent
of her theory OF efficiency. She found
early in life that she would make a
better employment agent than stenog-
rapher. and she is not only making an
exceedingly good income in her chosen
vocation, but she is one OF the best
known business personalities in Nsv
York.
