14.000 WEAVERS
DOT ON ft STR
Workers in Twenty Great Cot
ton Mills in Massachusetts
Quit When Wages Are Cut.
NEW BEDFORD, MASS.. July 15
Fourteen thousand union weavers em
ployed In twelve of the great cotton
manufactories here went on strike to
day Twenty mills are affected.
The strike followed votes of the New
Bedford Weavers union and the Indus
trial Workers of the World. The In
dustrial Workers of the World and the
United Textile Workers are combined
for 'his struggle.
The loom fixers union voted to In
dorse the strike and to strike independ
ently in the Dartmouth mills on griev
ances of their own. Francis P. Duffy
secretary of the weavers union and
will be in charge of the .strike.
The trouble follows the posting of
grading notices in many plants. The
grading system, so-called, is a "lan un
der which weavers receive only 60 per
cent as much for goods ranked as sec
ond-class as they do for goods ranked
as first-class.
The weavers contend that in many
cases how the goods are classified de
pends on the quality of the cotton or
the machines they use, rather than on
their own work.
Grading Scale Cuts Wages.
The weavers average a weekly wage
of about $9. Sometimes as much as $2
has been cut from their wage by the
grading system. The reductions were
divided, every six months, among the
weavers working during that period,
but this plan was not satisfactory to
them and a demand was made for a
change.
The manufacturers association, of
which William O. Devoll is secretary,
voted to refuse the demand, and the
strike vote followed.
The New Bedford authorities have
planned rigorous measures to prevent
disorder. Chief Henry W. Mason has
issued orders that policemen will be al
lowed no days off or vacations while the
trouble lasts, and extra guards were
on hand today to watch the mills.
The strikers had picket lines out this
morning. Crowds gathered at each
mil! and efforts were made to induce
other operatives to Join the strike.

conditions. A number of liners sched
uled to sail were held up, and strike

era! walkout to Liverpool. The pres
ent trouble arose out of the conditions
obtaining under the national insurance
act. The dock workers were ordered
to present their insurance cards at the
dock offices, but only a few out of 800
workmen complied.

is one position which a suffragette
could not hold. Miss Claire, however,
did not agree with this statement, and
in order to prove that her sex was
fully capable of holding an ironwork
er's position, ascended to the top of the
850 foot building and with the assist
ance of the ironworkers drove in one
of the rivets.

THE ATLANTA GEOKGfATT
BLOODHOUNDS THAT
ATE UP AN ESTATE ARE
SOLD UNDER HAMMER
BRLLnVJLLE. MO., July 15.—The
Uncle Tom's Cabin bloodhounds, 4 —•
count ’em-—4, which ate up the assets
of the estate of John D. Chunn, former
owner of the show, were sold here and
somebody almost made a profit.
When Chunn died he left $172 in
cash and the bloodhounds. William U.
Halbert, public administrator of St.
Clair county, tried in vain to dispose
of the dogs before winding up the es
tate. Finally, when the expense of
their care had amounted to more than
Chunn left Halbert determined to sell
them at auction.
Frank H. Craig, chief claim agent of
the East St. Louis and Suburban rail
way. bought the dogs for $5 —a total of
$1.25 a piece. Since W. L. Ward, the
auctioneer, presented a bill of $5 for
his services, Halbert still is crying to
figure his profit.
Halbert is satisfied, how ever, he says.

WONMI'S NEED
IS TO DE NEEDED
Dr. L. H. Gulick. Social Worker,
Tells Her New Relation to
the World.
CHICAGO, ILL.. July 15.--" Women s
I greatest need is the need of being need
' ed,” said Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick, di-
I rector of the department of child hy
i giene of Russell Sage Foundation, in a
speech, which follows, before the Na
tional Educational association meet
ing:
"Man has made of his new world
a wonderful, a magic place in which
to work, in which to make physical
attainment. He has not made of
It. however, a good nor a beautiful
place in which to live He has made
of the community a factory, not a
home.
"The' world-old power and skill and
devotion of woman are again being
called for and being given, but now
not merely to make and preserve the
individual home, but to give to the
community those spiritual qualities
which she gave to the home.
"Many of the psychic functions of
motherhood she is discharging in the
school. She is making playgrounds
for children, healthier conditions In
schools, fairer for the work
of men. women and children In farm,
store, factory, shop and mine. The
ideal is that of universal motherhood
all the women being responsible that
every child is loved, cared for and given
a fair chance. She Is beginning to see
that she responsible for much of the
municipal housekeeping.
Women and Social Life.
"The relations between young peo
ple must be so arranged that all the
power of sex and the passion of love
and desire shall lead toward attain
ment and growth and beauty and pow
er To make goodness alluring and
show the shallowness and stupidity of
vice—to bring the qualities and spirit
of the home into the community, to
embody such ideals in the common
habits, the daily life of a people, is
such a task, such an opportunity as has
never before been given to the world.
Thus are the age-long qualities of
women needed in our new world to
realize its surpassing possibilities as
well as to save It from spiritual dis
aster.
"We are significant in the world
mainly by the extent to which we. as
individuals and as groups, differ from
each other. My special place in the
world is due to my differences, rather
than to 'my likenesses to other people.
For example, woman is as sure to have
the suffrage as the tide is to rise, not
because she is as wise, as strong, as
skillful as man Is. nor because she.
like him. is a human being, nor for
any other reason of likeness or du
plication at all. but because she Is
different, because she can do what
he can not, because the world needs
her peculiar and special abilities. It
is because she is different, because
these differences are fundamental
world needs, that it is necessary that
she shall bring these differences to
the service of the world.
Need of Women Is to be Needed.
"The deepest need of woman is the
need of being needed. This is why
she responds to the sick and crippled
child. If ever woman was needed, it
is today. The very riot of our ma
terial riches is the peril of our souls
Woman is already taking hold of the
present material world, giving to it
and bringing into It the love and ser
vice and spiritual relations which in
the old days created the home and
which today are changing the man
made work house into a place adequate
to the glorious future life of human
beings.
"The Camp Fire Girls Is an organ
ization which aims to bring the power
of organization and the charm of ro
mance again into the humble acts and
needs of daily life. It is a deliberate
attempt to help meet the new and
splendid social world which is before
us.”

BRIGHT'S DISEASE
We submit the following as our idea* of
the probabilities, under Renal
Compound in Bright’s and kidney disease:
Where patients are seriously weakened
and crises may be expected in from ten
to twenty days probably not more than
10 per cent to 20 per cAnt respond. Where
physicians aid by holding up the heart,
increasing the eliminations, etc., the ef
ficiency can be Increased, In cases where
patients have from 30 to 60 days of life
we look for correspondingly better results.
Where patients do not wait until bedrid
den wp believe three-fourths can be con
trolled ami that tn cases that take the
treatment on the appearance of the dis
ease that nearly nine out of ten will re
spond with final or prolongation
of life
Albumen, casts and drops.x do not pre
vent recovery The point is that the renal
inflammation should be attacked before
the heart and recuperative, powers are too
greatly weakened
Fulton's Renal Compound is used both
with and without physicians’ prescrip
tions The motive of the Renal Compound
being to relax the kidney (the old School
having nothing to reduce inflamed kid
neys > it will be seen that the heart, elim
inative and tonic treatment usually pre
scribed in Bright s and kidney disease do
not conflict but are often required in ex
treme cases. It « be had at Frank Ed
mondson A* Bros Ail South Broad street
and 106 North Pryor street.
