FACTORY CIRLSSTIR
UP VOCATIONAL ROW
Do Homework? Of Course
They Can't, Says One,
and Fight Is On.
MISS HEDGES THINKS
THEY'RE TOO STUPID
But Others Come to the Rescue
and Meeting Ends in Storm
of Harsh Words.

Two reasons why factory girls won't
20 into domestic service were advanced
at the meeting OF the Vocational Guild
ance Association at the Washington Irv-
Ing High School yesterday. Reason No
was that too many mistresses are
tyrannical and their servants haven't a
moment they can call their own.
Everybody at the meeting agreed on
reason No l. but reason No. caused
rumpus. II was laid down by Miss Anna
G. Hedges. who struck fire from the social
workers by declaring that most factory
girls were incapable of any but the mo-
notonous tasks they were engaged In. and
would shrink from anything which, like
Homework, required initiative.
1T isn't monotony TO them 10 do the
same thing over and over" she argued.
"1'hey like it, OF course, IL would be
monotonous to us. but they are satisfied
with work In which nc initiative is need
ed II they got into something that called
for mental exertion they would soon wear
out They would be utter failures at
housework.
THE average wage of factory girl.
gained after an experience Of three and
a half years. is 81 30. That is all that she
earns, and the rate of increase is quite
as rapid as 1t is in the teaching profess
sion-though, of course" added Miss
Hedges. "a teacher starts with little
more, her training having been much
more expensive"
Miss Hedges had barely gained her seat
when Mrs. Alice Barrows Fernandez
director of the Vocational Survey, sprang
to the defence OF the factory girl She
was ably backed by tall woman in gray
and another woman in a futurist hat.
Also by the chairman. but he was a mere
man.
DO you mean TO say" demanded Mrs.
Fernandez. jabbing her arms back and
forth In an animated picture OF a running
machine. do YOU mean TO say that
factory girls like doing this all day long,"
She ran the imaginary machine some
more and glared at Miss Hedges.
IF they do" cried the woman in the
futurist hat, its time we did something
TO rescue them from that state of mind"
And touching the wage question" Mrs.
Fernandez said. Miss Hedges must know
that the very least girl can live on Is
50 20. How can she defend an average
wage OF 81 SO?"

FUNSTON HAS NO FEAR
OF A MEXICAN ATTACK

Deprecates Alarmists.

ports from General Funston. was issued
AZ the War Department to-day:
THE general says that in case alarm
ing reports are made with respect to pos
sible attempts OF Mexican troops to cut
off the water supply at Vera Cruz 1t will
be safe TO say that there Is no serious
danger OF such contingency. There are
rumors that such attempts VIII be made
shortly but II is the opinion OF General
Funston that these rumors are caused
solely by statements circulated by Gen.
eral Mas and General Navarette.
Gle states that, so far as he can learn
there is no actual movement OF troops
that would indicate hostile intentions. lie
reports the pumping station is Wen
guarded. and will not be taken rom us
by force and that, If the pipe lines should
be severed ne could restore them in Few
hours. lie says there is nothing in the
local situation TO cause alarm. He has
received no news with respect TO Private
Parks.
"He says that the last hundred or more
sacks of mail delivered at the outpost on
Nav are still lying there beside the rail-
road tracks under the charge OF the
Mexican outpost
While General Funston reports that he
has no news regarding Private Parks
who wandered into Mexican lines with
two horses. apparently insane the War
Department has received from Vera Cruz

London, May 13.-Desperate fighting

publics are, IL is 70 be feared says "The
Daily Graphic struggling against mex

is the madness of the Mexicans them
selves. In view of what is now taking
place at Tampico and Mexico City the
possibility Of modus yivendi emerging
from the mediation conferences is very
remote, and the chance OF a peaceful and
stable Mexico afterward the merest will o.

"rhe Daily Graphic lies between a die

Washington. May 1.-THE controversy
over the Welland Canal treaty Of 1871 was

day by Senator Smith, of Georgia, who
pointed to the fight made by the United
States against the discrimination Of the
Canadian government then as setting the
example for the withdrawal Of the tolls

Welland and other canals in Canada,

the contention which 1t then made. how
can we avoid the conclusion that our gov

"Ie we permit vessels from New YORK

the canal without the payment OF tolls
and require vessel carrying from New
