2 THE MORNING ASTOUIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. JUE3DAY, MARCH 28, 1905. RAISING OF HANDS Seven Hundred Women Organize a Uniou Trade League. SAMUEL GOMPERS SPEAKS Women Bslisva That tha Condition of Wag Earners in the United State Appliei With Equal Fore to the Women of the Country at to Men. New York, March 37. Raising their bands as a alga of fealty to the cause. ?00 women have pledged themselves, at a conference of the women's Trade Union League, to help organise all the women wage earners of this country Into trades unions. Samuel Oompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, and Hiss Jane Adams of Hull House, Chi cago, addressed the meeting. Miss Ad ams said: "The number is Increasing of those optimists in this country," Miss Ad ams continued, "who are prone to say that everything is right and will come out right in the' end. But we are working for the improvement of the condition of wage earners who are in cilned to think that the conditions of women need improvement and their condition will be better only as we concentrate intelligent though upon the subject and are active toward that end. "We are Inclined to think that the wage-earning women's position is not fair from the moment whenn she ap plies for a situation. She !s clearly at a disadvantage. Her needs are im mediate. Either she needs money for the evening's meal or they need her money at home to pay the rent. Now the trade union believes that standing behind her it can give her a little pow er to counteract the Influence of the 1 capital which meets her at the door. "We believe that in polling her inter ests with others she will not stand at the door so awfully alone and so pow erless." ' I Miss May McDowell of Chicago ex plained the condition of the girls working at the stock yards and else where in Chicago, pointing out that organization was doing a great deal there toward removing petty spites and class feeling among the working girls. The meeting was the public part of the first national Woman's National Union League, a private and exclusive meeting, having been held earlier, at which officers for the ensuing year were reported upon by the nominating committee and announced at the pub lic meeting. Mrs. Ellen M. Henrotin of Chicago was chosen president. Be sides representatives of the working women, there were present many per sons well known in society rfnd a num ber of settlement workers who pledged themselves to help along the cause. lower end of town, and was given some "knock-out drops," from the effects of which he became temporarily Insane, lie had quite a sum of money when he was paid off, hut when he was founJ he did not have a cent He weighed about 19S pounds when he left, but only weighs about 160 now. He has no recollection of anything that hut hap pened slnee the night he dlssapeared. It Is probable that he may come to his senses and be able to recollect some thing, and who It was that doped htm. It Is said that conslderabe of this kind of work Is done by the women of the lower end of town, but people never make any complaints for fear of ex posure. There is no punishment ade quate to fit such a heinous crime, and if It can be established that he waa given knock-out drops, public Indig nation will be wrought to such a pitch that there may be a thorough cleaning out of Swilltown. Civio Improvement. Owing to the inclemency of the weather Sunday the committee on health and police, city physician, chief of police and plumbing Inspector did not go out on their cruise of Investigat ing back yards and dilapidated shacks. last Sunday morning. They will make quiet investigations during the week and probably make a tour of Inspection next Sunday. In the mean time the announcement that they were going to visit every place In Astoria, caused a number of people to clean up their yards, which accounts for some con splcous absences from church Sunday morning. The committee, after mak ing their investigations, will publish a list of places where sanitary regula tions are necessary. BELMONT REFUSES Will Not Recognize Any of the Labor Unions. UNiON MEN NOT REINSTATED Labor Organisations Denounce Bel mont and Compere and Call Upon All Labor Unions Belonging to the Civio Federation to Withdraw.

FIFTEEN FIRES TO HIS CREDIT The Prisoner Belongs to a Volunteer Fire Department and Admits Having Set Fires for the Purpose of Having an Opportunity to Fight Them. New York, March 2?. At a meeting of the Central Federated Union a reso lutlon has been adopted calling upon every union to withdraw from the Civic Federation. It waa further re solved to call a mass meeting and agi tate against giving private corporations any more franchises for subways. Adoption of these resolutions fol lowed the reception of reports from a committee sent by the central federa tion to confer last week with Presi dent lli'linont of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company regarding re employment of men who lost their Jobs as the result of the recent strike. This report showed that Mr. Bel mont declined to make any conces sions, saying that the road was equip ped with all the men needed and thnt the former employes could only be re employed when vacancies- occurred. Recognition of any union also was re fused. When the delegates represent ing more thun 150.000 workers heard the report pandomlimm reigned. Dele gates ros and shouted at the top of their lungs against Mr. Belmont. At tack after attack was made against the Civic Federation, while some of the delegates loudly demanded that every labor leader should resign from that body. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who Is vice president of the National Civic Federation, was also denounced. The resolutions noted were then adopted.

Blake, whose, place of residence is 525 Market street, Portland, says: "I bought several boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills and I scarcely think if the first had not proved satisfactory that I would have tried the second and third. I had used almost everything said to be a cure for weakened kidneys and bladder, but nothing ever gave me the satisfaction I received from Doan' Kidney Pills. They are easy to take, have no effect upon the stomach or bowels and act directly on the kid neys. I thoroughly believe from the. results I received and also from obser vatlon that Doan's Kidney Pills are one preparation on the market which acts directly as represented."
