OF Interest
To Women

-
The lighthouse with its sight saw
ing station is q most appropriate
name for a building in New York de-
voted to helping the blind and the prs
vention of blindness. The story Of It's
origin is interesting. Miss Edith Holt
and Miss Winifred Holt were travel
ing in Italy and attended concert.
Seated near them were two blind boys
who showed the keenest pleasure in
the music. There were many vacant
seats. Seeing those and the pleasure
of the blind boys suggested to these
American girls the wish that mana
gers of theatres and opera houses
would allow unfortunate blind to &C.
cupy seats unsold at concerts. When
they came back to New York they put
the idea into practice and organized
cooperation, not only of managers,
but of wealthy people who bought
tickets regularly which were given to
blind people. This was the beginning
OF the organization of the New York
association for the blind, which built
and equipped the lighthouse in which
the blind are taught not only the
common school branches but are given
vocational training. The sight saving
station is equipped with a clinic and
from it goes flood OF literature on
the causes and prevention of blind
ness The Misses Holt give their
time day after day to this unselfish
service.

to negotiate with the Edelweiss Cafe.
Those in charge at the cafe referred
the union men to the EdelweisS
Brewery, and from the brewery they
were sent to the Brewers Associa-
ton, where they were met with an
absolute rundown. They were told
that the brewers didn't care to talk
business with them.
Furthermore, the unions claim that
the restaurants will subscribe fund
OF $500 a day to support any res
taurant that might be attacked by the
unions.
But the money of the restaurant
trust hasn't seemed to brighten the
men and women of the unions and
they are determined to go ahead with
mir fight for justice.
Their plan is to take one restaurant
ut a time. Henrici's has been select
ed as the first. And it is the wait
resses who have jumped to the front
in the fight. They are being led by
Elizabeth Maloney.
At Henrici's the girls must work Z
hours a day for 81 week, and the
work is very hard.
The men employees have an equally
hard time In some of the places,
and Henrici's is one of them, the men
are often forced to work 16 hours a
day. They get no overtime for that
The girls are demanding 6-day
week and a minimum of So week.
The men want either days of II
hours a day or days of 10 hours a
day.

mum of S1450 and the walters SO. |
