Clothing to Be Made at
Headquarters Here.

Donations of money, good clothing
and food supplies for the starving
and destitute Belgians will be receiv-
ed at a meeting of the Washington
committee of the Belgian relief fund,
under the direction of the Belgian
minister Emmanuel Havenith. at the
Cripps building, 425 Eleventh. street

All the donations received at the
headquarters Of the Washington com
mittee will be forwarded to New York
and thence to Belgium.
Perishable goods, such as potatoes,
apples, and other fresh vegetables
and fruits, cannot be accepted, as all
shipments must stand the railroad
journey to New York and a long sea
voyage. Wheat, -four. rice, peas,
beans, canned goods, cured or salted
meats, and coffee are the supplies
most desired.
Mrs. John A. Logan is president of
the local committee, the membership
Of which is made up of representative
women of the District who are work.
Of stricken Belgium.
The following appeal is issued by the
committee:
We earnestly hope that every one,
without regard to creed or nationality,
will generously contribute, according
to their means, to this most unforJu-
nate nation. Nothing IL the history
Of the worlds greatest calamities COM
pares with the condition OF the people
and the prostration of Belgium.
In the risors Of a cold winter mil
lions Of human beings Of all ages and
classes are condemned to endure un-
speakable sufferings without FOOD,
clothing, or shelter. Thousands must
succomb to the bitter blasts and the
pangs Of hunger. The situation is such
that II vii require all the funds and sup
plies that can be raised in Individuals
committees, clubs. and organizations
whatsoever There is plenty OF work
TO be done by whomsoever will lend
helping hand in the hour Of a nations

CUT IN TELEPHONE

Northeast Washington Citizens
Body Gets Report Urging Re-
duCtion Be Made.

Advocacy of reduction in telephone
service rates. was contained in a
report made by the public utilities
committee Of the Northeast Washing
ton Citizens Association at the month
ly meeting of the organization at the
Northeast Temple last night. While
expressing a sentiment favoring a low
er rate for service. the report Of the
committee commended the action OF
the Public Utilities Commission Of the
District in upholding the telephone
company in the rates 1t charges for
changes in service
The report set forth the expense in
Cured by the telephone company In
sending its workmen all over the city
to transfer telephones and rearrange

ice and states that the present rate
charged is not exorbitant.
Approve New High School.
Resolutions were adopted by the as
sociation giving impetus to the efforts
Of the residents Of East Washington TO
effect the early building Of new East
ern High School. The resolutions ex-
press the approval Of the association of
the pan to erect such an institution at
an early date. Copies of the resolutions
VIII De sent 10 Inc commissioners ana
members Of the Senate and House Dis
trict Committees and to members Of the
Board Of Education. 1t was brought
out at the meeting that the present
building was inadequate and that two
thirds Of the high school pupils Of East
Washington had to go to other schools
because the present Eastern High
School building was not big enough to
hold more pupils.
Vigorous opposition developed to the
suggestion that the school be built in
reservation 30 on the Anacostia river,
east Of Nineteenth street, because the
Is not central.
DR.. L. D. Walter urged that the as
sociation place itself on record as favor
ing the enactment of more strict law
the purchase of dangerous
weapons in the District. DR.. Walters
declared that under present conditions
almost any one could enter a second
hand, cutlery, or hardware store and
purchase weapons without being Ques-
toned. He said that law which would
make the purchase Of weapons more
difficult would tend to lessen crime.

Plan Will Never Work

We are informed that the plan of
working only eight hours a day will
never work, and if it is attempted it
will result in many of these ladies,
who are now privileged to work their
housemaids 16 hours per day, moving
into apartments and giving up their
individual homes. This would be
awful-for those who have to forego
the sweet privilege of working a girl
less than the aforesaid 16 hours per
day SO far we haven't heard from
the girls-but anyhow, they don't cut
any ice so far as opinions go. They
are only supposed to WORK,

Then there is the problem that al
ways looms large in the horizon Of
the slave-driver, and has ever since
society was organized: What will the
girl do with her spare time? She
might go to some low-dowu dance hall
or cheap show shop, or something.
This is dangerous to her morals, etc,
etc, ad nauseum.

usual carelessly constructed unsani-
tary construction work-camp. A mod
ern city arose with electric lights,
running water, sewerage system, thea
tres, schools, churches, clubs, fire de-
partment comfortable homes for the
workmen. Edward Hungerford, the
writer, to whose magazine article | am
indebted for this description, says:
"The problem of the workman was
not so much one of correction as of
interest and education. The rigorous
enforcement of the eight-hour law, as
applied to public works, made this
phase easy of solution" Commission
er Chadwick added: Our by-product
is men. l do not know a better by
product anywhere than raising the
standard of American citizenship. All
along this work we have had schools
in plenty-starting with kindergar-
ten for the youngest generation, and
ending with the school for grown men,
our laborers. Eight hours for work,
eight for play, eight for sleep. There's
the regular schedule at Browns sta
ton. We have taught our men, most
of them Italians, the English language,
American history and American gov
ernment"
There, in the greatest physical un-
dertaking of an American municipal
ity, is the answer of the oft-made as
sertion that municipality cannot COM
pete with a private corporation from
the standpoint of cheapness and eff
cheney. And it is enlightening to note
that watchful supervision over the
physical and mental well-being of the
workmen, with the eight-hour day as
the cornerstone of that supervision,
has been the secret of success of this
great engineering project. All but the
mercenary, short-sighted employer
recognizes today the efficiency of the
eight-hour day and it's relation to good
citizenship
this state are shrieking with alarm
over the Contemplated initiative bill
providing for a universal eight-hour
day. To read these Jeremiahs one
would believe that the passage of that
bill would bring the whole structure
of industrial life crashing around our
| heads. The same old cry is going up
that has always been raised by capi-
! tai when social or industrial legisla-
tion was proposed at our state capitol.
The women's eight-hour bill brought
the same cry. We were told that this
measure if enacted into law would
drive women and girls out of employ
! ment to be succeeded by boys and
| Orientals. AS usual their dire proph-
ecies failed to come true. Neither will
they if the universal eight-hour bill
passes. There will be a readiustment

period in which a few individual hard
will soon adapt itself to the new con-
dition. What has been the history of
every industry in the country that
passed from the ten-hour to the eight
hour day? An increased efficiency, a
better type of workman, a raising of
the standard of citizenship. Some of
the argument being used against the
eight-hour day is positively silly No
body expects to attempt the impOS-
sible. Where it may be found that
the eight-hour law cannot apply with
reason, nobody expects that it will be
made by the courts to apply. If an
emergency exists in any industry
which makes it impossible to apply
the eight-hour day, that emergency is
provided for in the bill. The rule of
reason will be used in the administra-
tion of this act without question. But
it is silly to say as did one wealthy
society woman in the public press that
'if the eight-hour law passed, she
would be compelled to give up her
home and live in an apartment" Op-
ponents of this measure are "sQueal-
ing before they are hurt" as is usually
the case when social legislation is
proposed.

Everybody Is Queer

The noXious danes of fashion who
now work their housemaids -, IA or
16 hours per day in order that they
may be relieved from work don't spend
their time in this way-but it should
always be remembered that they are
fashioned of some superior sort of
clay and consequently they know how
to spend their time proftably. 1t is
the old story of the Quaker: Every
body is queer except thee and me
and thee is little bit queer.
My only regret is that all this in
formation comes at such a late date.
1t should have been given before we
had proceeded so far as we have in the
fight for the eight-hour day Still,
suppose it wouldn't make any differ
ence. The working class is growing
so perverse in these halcoyn days that
it insists on many things that are not
good for its members So, nOtwith-
standing the ruin that viii be worked
because of not working the toenails
off of the housemaids of the state, We
will all go to the ballot box in Novem-
ber and vote for the eight-hour day,
It's wrong, of course-but the working
class was never right since time be-
gan. We, at least, have no reputa.
tion to lose. This must be so because
masters have said SO.

House Maid Problem
Last winter at Raymond, when the
State Federation was discussing the
proposed eight-hour law, it seems the
delegates entirely overlooked the in
convenience that would be caused to
the great mass of the working people
of the state in that their housemaids
would not be permitted to work more
than eight hours a day and as re-
suit our mothers, wives and sisters
would be obliged to take up the bur
den of household duties while the maid
was laying off for IS hours a day,
Happily, however, this oversight has
been kindly taken care of by several
of the good ladies of Seattle, Spokane
and other places. 1t is true, of course,
that these women don't happen to be
members Of the working class-but
then we ought not to be overly fussy
about the source Of the information
that is so unselfishly given.

I have been anxious to see the de-

case brought to place the Seven Sis
ters" on the ballot I am curious to
learn by what process Of reasoning
the tax commission bill was elm
mated. This bill had more teeth" so
far as the corporations were CON
cerned, than any other proposition in
the program. One clause made it ex-
tremely distasteful to the public utility
corporations This clause proposed to
use the valuation arrived at for the
purpose of rate fixing for taxation pur-

The corporations always see to it
that a high valuation is placed on
their properties when that valuation is
to be made the basis of fixing the rate
