THE MEM@ERS INVEIGHING AGAINST A RIVAL IN- STITUTION—DEFIANCE HURLED AT DR, MARY WALKER. At the meeting of the Woman’s National Labor League last evening, Mrs. Sullivan reported that she had talked with some store girls about the proposed co-operative store, and they favored it, Mr. Calvert brought before the league a sugges- tion that a book be opened for the registration of the names of those seeking employment. Mr. Edmonston stated that the Federation of Labor did not propose to fdvance the funds for the store. The proposition made by Mr. McDonald was that he would get the money. Mr. Edmon- ston, in the course of his remurks, made a gen- eral sketch of the growth of labor organizations, saying that they were like infants, first having a& “colicky” period. ‘We have passed through that, I hope,” said Mrs. Smith. Mr. Eimonston assured the league that tt had the hearty support of all the labor organizations of the District, and Mrs. Smith, responding, sald that she would rather have the support of 8,000 Workingmen than 20,000 who were here only temporat A RIVAL INSTITUTION, Mrs. Bryant said the Woman's National Labor Bureau, which was a private enterprise, was un- fortunately confounded with the league. Mrs. Smith gatd she had received many com- plaints during the week of persons connected with e labor bureau soliciting money. A general discussion of the labor bureau follow- ed,and Mrs. Smith declared that now the league Was getting more popular, women in the depart- ments, who at one time looked fn another direc- tion when a leaguer was going past, now even Went so far as to look at the building where the league meets. Mrs. Smith was deploring the in- Justice put upon women tn the departments, and. telling an instance where one member of the ber do had.been promised a position, though she had no political influence, when there was a sup pressed snickering heard in the corner where male members were assembled. Mrs. Smith press- ed to know the cause of the mirth, when Mr. Cal- vert, between his guffaws, sald: “It 1s suggested by Brother Robinson that the government employ all the league, and get rid of them at once.” Then the ‘*corner” again showed indications of explod- ing with laughter. “The government will have to forma new de- partment, then,” sald a lady in an opposite corner. “What? a department of Walkers?” asked Mra. Smith. ily. MR? BROWN AND DR, MARY. Mr. Brown invelghed against the obnoxious labor bureau at some length, when Mrs. Staith said “I hope Mr. Brown will be responsible for all that he says. I have had several threatening let- ters from Dr. Mary Walker, and I don’t want to get any more.” ‘1 guess,” said Mr. Brown, with a sw: worthy of Sullivan himself, “Dr. Mary won t ha ness me, I met her the other evening on the street. I wasn’t in a very good mood, and it would have been bad for her to tackle me. 1 would have made it warm for her. It was a very chilly even- ing.” tured its own thunder, and it should have the benefit of {t. He did not propose to permit other Institutions to be run on the popularity of the jeague. r. Bosenderg, of the federation of Inbor, made speech, expressing his sympathy for the league. Mrs. Sullivan declared against the long hours of service required of ‘store girls, and, thought de- artment ¢mployes should be ‘turned out every fittie white, to give others a chance. Miss Bryant, a new member, pictured the folly of young men remaining in office, and shortly afterwards the league adjourned. AN INJUNCTION ASKED AGAINST THE BALTIMORE AND Potomac RAILEpaD.—Henry M.
