Establish Eight-Hour Day.

Women in the Government Print
ing Office have enjoyed the eight
hour day and good wage scale for
many years. because of the general
agitation Of organized labor. But
these women loyalty took up the
cudgels Tor those doing the same
work in private binderies. under poor
conditions. for Sc or 81 a week. Many
of these women worked nine and ten
hours day. The union established
the eign:-hour day and a minimum
wage of $50 per week for these
women in private binderies in 1861
The scale also made a provision
similar to that in vogue at the Gov
ernmcnt printery for extra pay for
overtime work, for holidays. and for
Sundays.
The club was represented hy its
president when the appeal vas made
in person to the President of the
United States for a half-holiday on
Saturdays at the Government 1'rirt-
ing Office. Members Of the union
have appeared frequently before Con-
gressional committees to appeal for
increases IN women's wages, for
woman suffrage. for pensioning of
Government employees. and for many
other economic changes. The union
now has a committee at work for the
passage Of the German bill, which
would fix A minimum wage for skill
ed and unS!liiled laborers in the Gov
errmcnt service.

Women Find Aid
In Bi1dery Section
Practical Club Work Is Under
taken by Wage Earning
Group Formed Twenty Years
Ago.

Some of the most practical club
Work done in Washington is ac-
complished through the Woman S
Bindery Union, Local No. AZ.
Beside its efforts on behalf of
organized labor, this union is a
member of the District Federation
of WomeH's Clubs. 1t has joined
in every movement for cipic bet
terment undertaken by the fedora
tion, and its members have brought
to the club Women of the District
the needs and conditions surround
ing working women of the city.
. Not only has the union cared
for its own members in illness and
in other times of stress, but it has
sent contributions to other unions
when help mas needed to secure
better working conditions.
By J. R. HILDEBRAND.
Only in recent years have wage
earning women seen the ADVANTAGE
OF organizing for their protection
and betterment. as men long have
done. One of the earliest labor or
ganizauons for women in Washing
ton is the Woman's Bindery Union,
Local No. 4. originally formed by
sixty-eight women from the Govern
ment Printing Office.
Such practical and effective work
has been accomplished by this or
Sanization that other working wom-
en- OF Washington have followed the
example. The union will be twenty
years old next December, and during
these twenty years it has never laid
itself open to any charge of peedless
agitation. 1t has gone quietly about
the work Of helping to insure better
conditions for workers in private
binderies. of caring for its own sick
and providing for burials, Of lending
aid to workers in all parts of the
country when appeals came, and
finally of hearty cooperation with
the District Federation Of Women's
Clubs in general work for commun-
ity betterment.
Since its formation more than 3,00o
women nave taken the obligations of
the union, and the present active
membership exceeds SO. OF these
about one-third are employed in pri-
vate binderies.

of its most effective work has been

With this however, ii was also stated
that the dividend so declared would

lar Union Pacific dividend from 10 to

THE news was preceded and fol-
lowed by considerable excitement
and violent fluctuations in Union
pacific and Baltimore a. Ohio issues,
ne former advancing smartly and the
latter declining correspondence IN
fact baltimore & Ohio common to-
day attained its lowest level in some
years.
Although the Union Pacific cxecu-

Ia regard their action as further proof
Of the desire OF big business to con-
form with the view Of the federal adj

sues lending from one to two points.
Towards the end of the morning ses-
