LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

first public hearing and also half of the time of the second public hear ing. It was this bill that was orig mated by the Textile unions who were assisted by every central labor body In the state and also the state fedora tion of labor and the National Tex tile workers. It was this bill that 60 delegates were sent to Hartford to appear before the labor committee and their expenses paid by the rank and fiie who expected to get the benefit of shorter hours.
 Now all of these delegates were voters with the exception of the six women delegates. We did not send any voteless men The Consumers league were represented by one vote less woman, Miss Wells, I think, of Hartford, at least she was the only one who spoke in favor of the league bill. They allowed her about Is min utes and half of her plea was for workers in mercantile establishments as we'll as for manufacturing indus tries.
 Why didn't this voteless woman. representing voteless league, secure the 55 hour week for that 90 per cent of voteless workers in the mercantile industry. How is it that the men Voters, representatives of organiza- tions that stand for woman's suffrage secured the 55 hour week for those [. voteless workers.
 dodge this, flor facts are stubborn things" and the antis will find it q bitter pill to swallow. The voteless woman gets 15 minutes to appeal for the voteless leagues bill and accom- plishes nothing for the voteless in- dustry, While the voting men, one of them got 3a minutes, and in all about two and one half hours to appeal for the Textile Workers bill and secured the 55 hour week for those indus tries that have a higher percentage of voters.
 It is the voting strength that is be- hind any proposed law that has the most weight with any legislative body and the 55 hour law proves it. Sem tfment and indirect influence having little weight. Double the voting strength and you will increase the number of intelligent voters for men have not got the monopoly of brains even in politics.
 The American Federation of Labor at their last convention in Seattle went on record unanimously in favor Of Woman Suffrage. The UniteG Tex tile workers are an integral part o! this body and every union man or wo- nan connected with the same is pledged to work and vote for womans suffrage. The eight hour day the minimum wage, and the maternity benefit are very desirable to all those women who need them. I would like to see you and the rest of the antis working in some card room, or spin- ming room, or weave shop of a cot ton mill 10 hours a day and then asE you whether the eight hour day was desirable or not
 If you had to work fc- tine miserable wages that a vast number of girls ana i women in this state have to do you 1 would want the minimum wage al ! right.
 According to the report of the specia l commission appointed by the legisla. 1 ture of 1911 and which reported 1T 1913 they said that careful investiga. i tion has shown that s7 is barely liv. l ing wage and half of the wage earn. i ing women of Connecticut get les!

 Why will women continue to suffer day in and day out or drag out a sickly, half hearted existence, missing three-fourths of the joy of living, when they can find health in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound?
 For thirty years it has been the stand ard remedy for female ills, and has re- stored the health of thousands of women who have been troubled with such ail- ments as displacements, inflammation, ulceration, tumors, irregularities, etc.

Where the Credit Should Go.

MT. Editor: In reply to anti-suf- fraglst I want to say that I did not refer to the 55 hour bill that was in troduced by the Consumers league.
 I referred to the 55 hour bill that was recommended by the labor com mittee of the last general assembly which they advised the house to adopt and which is now the law.
 When it left the labor committee it applied to all industries that employ ed women and minors and was so passed by the house but when it reached the senate it was amended so that mercantile establishments could still have the 5s hour week. In order to get the real facts before the public as to where the credit belongs for this law let me point out the following facts which led up to it's adoption and which can be qualified by a reference to the Bulletin of a year ago and also to the stenographic records that are kept at the state house.
 The 55 hour bill that was recom- mended by the labor committee was g. compromise bill the result of several bills that was presented to them deal ing with the shortening of the hours of labor.
 There were five bills presented to the committee. Of these only two re- ceived any consideration whatever the Consumers League bill and the bill introduced by Representative Chese- bro of Stonington on behalf of the Textile Workers Unions of Eastern Connecticut This bill was known hours. It was this bill that aroused 1 the bitter feeling and antagonism l from the merchants and manufactur- 1 CTS (See Norwich Bulletin, April 3rd i 1913, first page). It was this bill that took up all the time 6 hours) on the

ANOTHER MEXICAN MUDDLE.

For the same purpose that this country took Vera Cruz General Huerta is desirous of getting control of Tampico, that the supplies of arms which are being delivered there may be stopped From any viewpoint Huerta must look upon such as weak and troublesome undertaking in view of the endeavors which are underway in behalf of peace, and the position of this country that Tampico must be an open port. Thus while his ambl- tiou is a natural one he must realize his total inability to successfully exc cute any such naval operation.
 Tampico is going to prove as fm- portant a port for the rebels in Mex ico as has always been expected and this fact is fully realized by the head of the federalists especially since the order that it be kept an open port has gone forth. It is one of the in evitable situations to which Huerta must become reconciled.
 There. however, rests within his power the chance for causing no end of trouble with the mediation pro- ceedings. He can precipitate trouble of a character to involve this country if he persists in his Tampico project all because of the three sided situa- tion which exists, the fact that the rebels are not included in the armis- tice and the attitude of this country that the business of the foreign in terests demands an open port.
 The steamer Antilla is the whole cause of the federal anxiety at this time. but that vessel with it's cargo which was allowed to slip away from this country can create as great a muddle at Niagara Falls as at Tam pico just now. It is likely to be a boomerang to the administration.

JOHN EccLEs, BENEFAcToR.

Norwich had occasion only recently tp learn with gratitude of the Wlse ana generous manner in which the late John Eccles had seen fit to distfoute the large estate which he had amasseo within it's borders. Educational, re- IiEious and charitable institutions we e handsomely remembered and given needed assistance for carrying on theiI beneficial work. There was widespread feeling that MT Eccles had well sur veyed the field and after careIui thought made a praiseWortny ulsera- button both for meeting the needs Or the institutions and far carrying on a permanent public service. It was a lasting and wise investment.
 Like many others he had recognized the magnificent work which IS being done by the Rock Nook home in the care of unfortunate and orphaned cnii- dren. and the always to be commenced charitable work which the United Workers is carrying on through the various departments in rendering a1o to the sick aged poor and unfortunate, but the appraisal of his estate which reveals almost quarter or a nliiloil in addition for this institution and organization. through the residue funds. shows the full extent or ms recognition of the importance Of the charitable work which they have done and are doing. Likewise does it dis close his approval of and faith therein. No better way of getting the benefts of his fortune to the needy and de- serving could have been worked out and 10 no cause could it have been left where greater profit will result to a greater or more worthy number As if in accordance with biblical ad- vice his greatest contribution has been to charity. It is a rich. generous, thoughtful and phiianthropic disburse- ment to the townspeople where he was so beautifully rewarded for life of hard work, and reflects the careful ap- pIication of his foresight and judg- ment in making his investments count.

Of course, if she can't afford a nurse I think, interrupted Sadie, that a woman who will hand over her child to hirelings is not worthy to bear the l sacred name of mother. To shift re- sponsibility that way is unspeakable! Thank heaven, my child will always know a mothers care!'

than this.
 I hope the antis will let this fact sink into their brain and get busy with some of their indirect influence" and see that these women get a wage that will allow them to live decent, self respecting life.
 When the women get the vote they will compel employers to pay every one at least a living wage, because they will not do it till they are com pelled by law backed by the vote. If you were the wife of a working man and you was fulfilling that time hon. ored duty (of which the antis are so fond of preaching about, but seldom practicing) of bringing children into the world on the average working mans pay which is about S10 per week, you certainly would desire the maternity benefit especially if your husband was out of employment which often happens.

had clean and sanitary quarters, with clean, wholesome food and good wages and they cut the death rate down to even lower than that of the United States. They did not change the climate. If these things are so- cialistic we need some of them here.
 In conclusion I wish to emphasize the point that 1t was the Textile workers that should get most of the credit for this bill. They paid for the advertising and circularising of every organization in this state. They paid the expenses of speakers that appear ed before various organizations. They paid for the Smoking Set" that was presented to Prof. Willard Fischer (another advocate of women's Suf- frage) at Baltic last October for the valuable services that he rendered on behalf of the bill, and when the bill did finally become law 1t was Representative Chesbro of Stoning- ton who introduced the Textile Work CTS bill who was congratulated by his fellow members on the partial success of the measure.

Home, Sweet Home!" was being sung for the first time just 91 years ago. The song came from the op- cratic stage. It's author, John Howard Payne. posed as a dramatic critic in New York when he was only 14 years of age; before matur- lty he was successful on the stage; then came 20 years of varying sue cess abroad as actor, manager and playwright. Pressed for funds, he sold the opera .Clari" for $250. In this was Home, Sweet Home'' Payne had written it, recalling his early cottage home at East Hamp- ton, N. '. The opera had a pho- phenomenal run and the song brought a fortune to it's publishers Payne never received another cent from 1t. He latter became United States consul at Tunis where ne died.

Today is the 123rd anniversary of John Howard Payne's birth. His song is known throughout the Ens- lish-speaking world and it rises above all else, including the DO plays and operas which Payne wrote. as a monument to his mem ory. Surviving the inroads of rag time, the ballad is as popular as ever for knitting home ties. It is said to have had a more universal circulation than any song ever written. Payne's body. origninally buried at Tunis, was disinterred after many years and brought 70 the United States for re-interment in Oak Hill Cemetery at Washing ton, in 1883. The remains were placed beneath an appropriate mon ument which was unveiled while a great chorus sang, Home, Sweet Home,"
