the Washington bar.
At this late day, when so many
women are practicing law before
the courts and filling the highest
State and national Offices every.
where throughout the country, 1t
will be interesting to know Just what
the Supreme Court said in answer
to her application. This Is 1t In
substance:
GAS this court knows no English
precedent for the admission Of
women to the bar, 1t declines to
admit, unless there shall be q more
extended public opinion or special
legislation"
First in High Court.
After repeated efforts to lobby d
bill through Congress having for
it's purpose the admission Of women
to practice before the United States
Supreme Court, such a bill finally
became law in February, 1879, and
on March 3, 1879, on motion Of A. G.
Riddle, Mrs. Lockwood was the first
woman admitted to practice before
that court. Three days later
Thomas j. Durant moved her ad-
mission to the bar of the United
States Court Of Claims, and from
that time on all avenues to the
courts were open to her and to her
sex.

could make as much as 10 miles an

trait Of her, by Nellie Mathes Horne,
hangs in the United States National

mittee as tribute to Mrs. Lockwood
through Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley.
Mrs. Lockwood died in George

1917. She was then in her 87th
year and made her home at 304

at Mrs. Lockwood's house, No. 6l9

Upheld Law Rights.
When Mrs. Lockwood came to
Washington, the law schools of this
city were closed to women, but she
saw no reason why they should be,
and forthwith proceeded to try to
matriculate, but without avail. FL
nally, in 1870,- when q well-known
law school opened its doors here to
mixed classes, Mrs. Lockwood and
other women took advantage of the
unusual opportunity and rhatricu-
lated. Only two of these finished the
course, Mrs. Lockwood and Miss
Lydia S. Hall. Later, on Mrs. Lock-
woods being admitted to the bar
of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict Of Columbia the. clerk is said
to have remarked: "You went
through today, Mrs. Lockwood, like
a knife. You see the world moves in
our day."
Justice David K. Cartier, upon this
occasion, is recorded as having said,
Madam, If you come into this court
we shall treat you like a man."
Justice Arthur Macarthur was not
quite SO generous or complimentary.
He said: Bring on as many woman
lawyers as you choose. I do not be-
lieve they will be a success"
The Court of Claims and the
United States Supreme Court turned
her down fiat. The former, first be-
cause she was a woman, and SUBJ
sequently because she was a mar
ried woman. In October, 1876, Mrs.
Lockwood presented herself at the
bar Of the United States Supreme
Court and applied for admission to

Other pleas for labor unity came
from Secretary of Labor Perkins and
Daniel j. Tobin, President Of the
Teamsters Union. Miss Perkins praised
Mr.. Tobin's efforts in behalf of peace
In his annual report, Mr. Tobin
warned that unless labor peace is
achieved, the Government may step
in and force a showdown.
In the past five years, Mr.. Tobin
disclosed, the Teamsters Union has
gained $4,000 members and is now
the largest union in the A. F. Of l..
fold. Since 1885, he said, the average
working hours of the unions members
have been reduced from sixty to forty
eight week. BY the next convention,
he predicted, forty-hour week would
be attained. He estimated that the
union had won wage increases aggre-
eating $3l2,000,00O in three years.
Other speakers at the opening day
of the convention in Constitution Hall
were George Meany, Secretary Treas
urer of the A. F. Of l.. and |. M

Concluding his report to Governor
Bricker, Administrator Atkinson said:
"ln March, 1889, when you as Gov

Ohio unemployment compensation law,
you gave me two commissions to full

other was to find suitable employment
for the unemployed of Ohio.

ment compensation division of the Bu-

total benefits in the nation to indi-
vldual unemployed workers.
"1he outstanding record of the en-

a longer work week may be justified
temporarily, if competent employees
are not at hand; but at the most,
overtime should be only temporary
eXpedient, so long as hundreds and
thousands are seeking employment.
Induction Of men into military serv-
ice will help diminish the number of
the unemployed, for the places of those
men in industry or in the Government
service must be filled; but such re-
placements should be definitely under
stood to be on temporary basis alone,
and the men who return from train
ing should be accorded every possible
assurance that their jobs will await
them. Fortunately, Congress appears
to recognize this as essential.
