WORKING WOMEN
SPEED AGITATION
To Fight Exploitation
in Industries
BY EVA HOFFMAN,.

Our New England Federation of
Working Women has enormous tasks
before it. The general deep depres-
sion in American industry has effect
ed to a.Iarge extent the working wom-
en- of New England. Here probably
to a greater extent than in any other
section of the country are the women
workers affected by this depression
because the percentage of women
workers in the textile and shoe in
dustry is very high.
There is another factor which is
driving down the standard of living
among the textile workers in general
and among the women workers espec-
tally. The amazingly low wages for
which the workers in the southern
mills are working has developed an
intensive campaign also in New Eng
land to cheaper production. This is
accomplished by wholesale wage cuts
which affected about 100000 wor
ers. A serious campaign is on foot
for the abolition of the 48-hour-law
for women and the abolition of the
law prohibiting women from working
on the night shift.
Have Important Task.
These conditions place great tasks
and duties on the New England Fed
Grafton. More then ever must we di-
rect our attention to relieving the
suffering of the working women not
only in the home but also in the fac
tory. In fact more attention than
ever must be paid to the women in
the factory and this we intend to do.
Within the next few weeks we will
call a conference of all women's or
CARNATIONS in New England and the
first consideration at this conference
will be the organization of the wom-
en- textile workers. Every phase of
activity which reflects the life and
needs of the working women will be
considered but major attention will be
given to these pressing problems such
as the fight not only for the main
tenance of the 48-hour week but a
struggle for the establishment of tbs
44-hour week. Stricter regulations
against the use of women labor for
night work, more rigorous execution
of the law prohibiting. child labor,
direct participation by. our Federation
in the campaigns to organize the tex
tile workers, widespread educational
work throughout the region must be
undertaken. We are quite confident
that our present membership of about
1000 members in affiliated organiza-
lions can be more then doubled thru
an intensive campaign.
Need National Movement.
District conferences, however, are
insufficient. What is needed is ma
5ional direction. What is needed is
a National Federation of Working
Women. In the movement for the
organization of such a movement l
believe that the federation can be
counted on to give full support and
cooperation.

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD 4. CRAIG.

May 8, 1796.-Presidcnt Washington
signed today the bill authorizing a loan
of not more than 100000 to complete
the Capitol. Presidents house and other
necessary public buildings in the new
Federal City. Thus, after long con-
troVersy In Congress, steps have at last
been taken which seem to assure the
carrying out Of the plan to found a per-
manent seat for the Government on the
Potomac River. Those persons who
have been hoping that the plan would
be abandoned and the Capital City es-
tablished at some other place are now
much discouraged.
Much criticism was heard in Con-
gress of the character of the buildings
which the Commissioners OF the city are
erecting. II was charged that they have
not been economical and that the build
ings. especially the Presidents house,
are too magnificent. After an investi-
cation by the committee of the House.
however. a report was made that, in
the committees opinion. mo alterations
can with propriety now be made in the
plans Of the public buildings" The
committee submitted statement giving
in detail the various items of revenue
and expenditure of the city as estimates
as to the sums required to complete the
buildings.
There are still some persons who be-
lieve that the future Of the new city IS
very doubtful. These persons think
that in case Of Gen. Washington's death
the movement to change location will
gain headway. They predict that the
Government will never be moved to the
new city from Philadelphia, but will re-
main there indefinitely.
A strong group in Congress, adverse
to the Potomac River site. did every
| thing In its power to delay action on
the bill to extend aid for the completion
Of the buildings. They hope that the
Capitol and Presidents house may be
delayed so long that Congress and the
President will not be able to move here
at the appointed time.
The loan will be secured by the pub
lie property in the city. 1t is under
stood that the money. or enough To
carry forward the building operations
during the current year. will be bor-
rowed from the Bank of Columbia, but
that the bank will require the personal
note of the City Commissioners and two
other unquestioned securities.
