To Suggest League.
Organization of a local branch OF the
National Social Welfare League to
carry on the work started by Mr.. Finch
with the purpose of establishing the
proposed factory will be suggested at
the meeting. This plan is likely to be
considered by the central committee at
its meeting Tuesday. There is, how
ever, sentiment for a different meth
cd of coping with the situation.
Many Of the workers are lfavoring the
plan of the Florence Critenton Mis-
SION, of which Mrs Kate Waller Bar
rett Is president This latter plan calls
for the establishment several miles
from Washington OF a rural colony
where the exiles may find rest and en-
ployment and undergo a general pro-
cess of reclamation. Those who favor
the plan seem to think it would at
tract more of the women than Mr..
Finch's plan
Despite contrary views, however, the
welfare workers are determined to
agree on some definite plan and are
satisfied TO leave the entire matter in
charge Of the central body named by
the heads of the local government
Among those invited to occupy seats
on the stage this afternoon were: Dis
Tr1ct Commissioners Newman, Siddons
and Harding, Cuno H. Rudolph, Will
liam F. Guide, Edward Mclean, Theo-
dore w. Noyes, Charles T. Nesbit, the

Speaks at Tuxedo.
A large contingent Of the residents Of
Tuxedo. Nd, attended the meeting at
the Christian Church of that place this
morning, at which Mrs. Barrett spoke.
Mrs. Barrett recited her experience of
many years with the women Of the
Washington segregated district. She
urged that every one present cooperate
with the central committee, appointed
by the Commissioners, to meet the stu
alton, and iauded Congress for the dig
nified manner in which il has permitted
local social welfare workers to map out
plans for the salvation Of the women
without footing their own horns to
impress the moral elements of their re-
specttve districts.
Mrs. Barrett will speak tonight at
the Dumbarton NJ E. Church on tie
