btn ae Sie oe el CAPMAKERS' GIRL LEADER A THINKER _| Says Division of Profits for Labor, Not Charity, Is What Is Needed. SOCIALISM ONLY CURE. Believes Work Being Done by. Unions Is Merely a Part in the Great Movement. “People seem to think that working girls are of kindergarten child's mental calibre,” said Miss Rose Schneldermann, trade-unionist, Socialist and leading spirit of te Gapmakers’ Union. “We are given no credit for Intelligence. We ure not presumed to be reasoning per- sons. “That's why we are so little under- stood. “But, as a matier of fact, working girls have minds as well as hands, They work while they think, und think while they work. Maybe they work best, be- cause women have worked since the world began and have only just real- ized what their brains were for. But they are beginning to find out. And what do we think of, hour upon hour, day In, day ont. and late into the night? Our wrongs—the wrongs of all working people, and the wrongs of Working girls In particular. “And we think to set things ri; Miss Schneidermann is an optimi her way. She beleves that, bad as things are, there's. a remedy—Soclalism—that will make this poor oN world into @ Utopia. ‘Tae gir) Socialist is very voune. only twenth-two, quaintly pretty and charm- ingly petite. But she bears the burden! of the world on her graceful young shoulders, aud her pretty mouth has the serious tenseness of thinkers. She has intelligent, sympathetic gray eyes that burn with the fire of enthusiasm, while} her halr curls as prettily and lightly as if there were not a care In the world. Has Been Through It. “You know there's no mora reason why I should be talking rights and| wrongs than any of a whole hundred) working gitls I know. I've suffered as much, seen as much and pondered it} all just about as much as dozens of| my working girl friends, and if it wasn’t for them to back me up and help me out I'd be nowhere, “I'm not the leader of the Cap- makers’ Union, I'm nothing more| or less than one in a long list of earnest members. But when I address other meetings and talk aout trades union- ism and the salvation it has brought to| millions of working people, and especial-! ly working girls, people make a fuss, aod I hate it, “You know there's no reason why it should be thought remarkable for a workingwoman to have some senke of hat fs due her. “But it's only recently that women ave awakened to their rights and priv- fleges. And if people do not look askance at a woman's expression of them they are either amused or gushy. “Woman has slaved since the creation ‘without a doubt in her heart that op- Pression and sorrow were predestined to be hers. But it is dawning upon the workingwoman that a better future lies before. A Cog in the Wheel. “And the nath is Socialism. Yes, sir. @n out-and-out Socialist. Being a trade unionist I couldn't very well help it. You see, first you see that trad or- ganization Is the only way of fighting your fight and your sisters’, And then you see that your fight and your sis- ters’ are just part of a great big fight— Gabor’s, humanity's. And vou long to merge your interest and your fight i the r movement vv the emanci- pation of labor from the thraidom of capital. “Yes, government ownership and Government control alone can free us. “We working people want out ner cent. of the profits—that’s all. We. cap- int a fair share in the protits uitohing, We want the income that should accrue to us rather than ‘the capitalists’ bursting coffers, ‘Phen your fine dispensaries and free coup tickets and free this, that ani the other thing, and your working girls homes would eo up in smoke.

Crimmins presided and M. J.

WASHINGTON, March 29.—While the Philippine census fails to disclose the number of “Pulijanes” on the Island of Samar who are now being pursued by the constabulary under the lead of Gov, Curry, in retalfation for the attdck upon his party recently, it is estimated by officers in the War De- partment wyo have been stationed on the island, that there are about 2,600 of these veople in the mountain fest- nesses, They are not, as commonly supposed, a race of themselves, but, as explained by one of these army officers, the Pull- janes are really only Visayans who have ‘gone wrong.” ‘They ure people who were once under the Spanish religious influence but have retrograded into a state of barbarism; have taken to the mountains and live in largo part by preying upon the tollers in the agricultural sections, In the opinion of army officers here it will be no easy task for Gov, Curry to subdue these “Pulijanes,” because they are like the American Indians in the Bad Lands and are very much as- sisted by thelr women, who travel back and fort hinto the towns, bringing cd supplies of rice and other necessaries, despite the watchfulness of the Ameri- ean troops and native cuarde, hs 2 | Sale of Ligle thread Hosiery, THE WORLD: THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 29, §0ROSIS The Best Shoe.
