"Th work of th rva.ot girl is re tarded as mental because perhaps It Is both, personal and unorganised, and be smbles more the slavery of olden times than does the wagt slavery of socialised - Industry under capitalism." So wrltei Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes, the talented wife of J. O. Phelps Stokes, the million aire philanthropist and Socialist, who has begun a series of remarkable letters ttf working girls in a New Tork east aide paper, the Forward. Few women are better fitted to solve the life problems -tof working girls than 'this actively democratic woman, who educated herself from the ranks and whose head baa not been turned by the aequlsltlon of great wealth. Ever since ber marriage she has devoted herselt constantly to uplifting and bettering the condition of the hard-working wo men of the east side. She has a large following among these women, many of whom have grown to look upon her as a guide In their efforts to organize their unions Vnd their other efforts toward self- . betterment. Tvt Kr nnmnrniia Inrturea to worklne woman the ostentation of Wealth and Its responsibility for class feeling has been one or ner iavorue budjscib. The two following answers to letters sent to her by girls seeking advice are complete lectures in themselves. They are examples of the excellent kind of atfvtee sne is giving, xne ri given first, with their answers follow- The gerrant Question. I fcava been one year In this country 1114 hir vainly looked for work in a hop, so J became a servant in a re Boectable family. I have no trade, so could not get a Job. I walked ana walked and walked until my feet were swollen. Then I went to an intelligence office and got a Job as servant girl. I am working for very nice people an.l 'they treat me like their own daughter. J am satisfied, but my aunt, who does nothing for me, is ashamed to have a servant girl for her niece.. She says she would not let me visit her. I do not mind her, because she is nun an1 stlna-v: but I am fond of her daughter, my cousin, and it breaks my heart not to be able to see her. She is a good girl and the two of us look .verv much alike. When we are to- a-ether oeorle think we are sisters. Even her voice is like mine, and she is good natured and loves me. . I am all alone in this country and If I have to do without seeing ner it wui ne very hard on me. Yet my aunt won't let her daughter have anything to do with me until I rrlve up my position and look for work n a factory. I would do so if I were aure of a Job, but my present Job is a very good one and I like the people, and why should I take chances? X have made up my mind to do as you will tell me. Please do not keep my letter too long because I am longing to see my COUSin. AN UNHArr I UIHIj. Advises Htr to Keep Zr Plao. I believe you are right In keeping your present position, at least .until you are sure of something better. There Is no disgrace in doing honest "work of whatever kind. As a servant for kind and appreciative people you are certain ly better off than are many other girls In the factory who work for an unkind and unappreciatlve boss. w . , . Tour aunt has not got rid" of tha pld teehloned, ld country prejudices against the servant glrU Tners la much of this filing. vsn here In America. It - Is difficult to find all tha causes for this prejudice. It may be because most serv ice is social1, therefore rejected, while ihose we today designate as servants a trark whlih la ruu-uliarlv nersenaL . It Is regarded also as menial work I because perhaps it li both personal and unorganized, and because It resembles more the slavery of the olden times than does the wage-slavery of socialised industry under capitalism. Housework Wot KenlaL Some day when our housework la more highly specialliod and becomes so cial in its nature, it will be bb rare a thing to find any one look down upon It as a menial duty as It Is now rare to find any one to regard It with due re spect. Keep your work and do it well while It remains yours to do until you are sure that you can better yourself through a change. I think it would be helpful If you were to get yourself Into a kinder, more charitable state of mind. as regards your aunt. Remember, after all, she means well. She believes It Is not nice to be a servant girl, and does not wish to have any odium attach to you by your becoming one. She Ik mis taken, but her motive Is kind. AVrite to her frequently and kindly. 1 think If you can make her feel through letters or personal talks that you lovo her In spite of her opposition, and lnve her daughter, your cousin, you will soon be a happy enoujrh rlrl. Remember that love unlocks all doors, and love means more than a mere feel ing In one's heart. It la as largely an understanding in one's head -a deep sympathy born of a large underotand ing. Put the kindest oonstnirtion on anything your aunt might say or do with regard to you and love her. She Is not ''mean and stingy" at all but simply a little bit embittered through the lack of love and sympathy, and the vain craving for understanding by those she loves In her heart. A XrOve Problem. Another girl writes as follows, asking Mrs. Stokes to solve the following nrnh- lem: Will you also let me la:- mv trouble before you and will you advise me how to act? I work in a shop where there are several young men and girls. I seem to be good looking, because every body In the shop says so. even the alrls. One girl often says she envies me: and another girl, who is not quite so good natured, often curses me and makes fun of me, and when we quarrel she says: "You must not imagine that because you have good looks you can have everything your own way." Of the several men who work In. the shop two are unmarried, and both of them have been after me. A third man who is, married, also tried to walk with me from the shop and to be nice to me, but I told him he was married, that would have nothing to do with him. and that be ought to be ashamed of him self. . I spoke to him so harshly that he apologised and told me that I was rirht and that I was the best srlrl he ever knew, and that I led him to be good too: that he would never try to go Dacic on nis wire. Plfferesos 1st Suitors. What I want to speak to you about. however, are the two single men. OnS of them is vory nice looking and he has been making love to me an along. xne other man is not nice looking at all, and be used to mage run of me all the time. He used to tease me until the tears came to my eyes. The other man called htm names for it, and sometimes they would quarrel on account of me, and I had to make peace between them. The nice man used to take me to balls and treat me, and the other man only borrowed money of me and never paid It back. He borrowed again- and he would not even do it in a nice way, but by teas ing me and calling me "stingy" and 'mean, and I inii . hn him that I was not stingy "and not mean that the nice-looking know it. I thought I hated that homely man for his harsh ways because he made fun of me and never said a good word to me, but one evening, when the nice looking man was not In the shop, being sick, this man waited for me down stairs and asked me to let him walk with me; he did so with a sneer as usual, but I could not help walking Councilman Vaughn's ordinance regu lating the operation and equipment of tree tears In Portland will be discussed by the city council and streetcar men on the first Thursday in September at o'olook. Testerdsy afternoon the meas ure was brought up in the meeting of the street committee of the city coun cil and explained in detail by its cham pion. The streetcar people were repre sented by Oscar Huber and an interest ing debate took place between the two. In opening In favor of the adoption of the ordinance Councilman Vaughn said: I do not know whether thli measure as I have prepared it is per feet In every detail, but it is a thought from which we can work. It Is not the Intention of the ordinance to chastise the oompany alone for, violations but its employes are prevented from im posing on me company. Air Brexee the Tnlng. "I shall take up the provisions brief ly in detail. So far as air brakes are concerned I believe the ordlnanoe will do a great good. I have talked with practical streetcar men all over tho coast and In a number of cities in the east and they are of one accord In rec om mending air brakes. They are used universally now in all of the eastern cities and on the coast. "The Oregon Water Power company's cars in Portland are now equipped ex clusively with them. The contention of Instantly stopping a car with hand lev ere may be true to a certain extent but in cases of excitement and sudden danger there is little likelihood of this being oone by the average motorman. XJfe-gaving rapiers Wanted. "The fender question is also a very Im portant one, but while I have investigated any number of fenders I am not pre pared to state which has the most good points.

The only fender I want Is one that will safe life. "Ton may place any equitable limit on the cars you desire.

"I want you to give earnest consid eration to the clause which compels approaching streetcars to come to a full stop 10 feet away from a car re ceiving or discharging passengers. There Is a provision that will save more lives In the long run than any other. Mr. Huber may complain that it will take more care to admit of keep ing up with the schedules but I say let us adopt this plan even If It requires a third more or even twice as many cars What are the few dollars spent on a street car to a human life?

Chose Kan She Hated. I do not know how to account for it. but I feel that this rough man could do anything he wanted with me. My friends who read your paper told me that they read in your articles an ex planation for oases like mine. They told me that it often happens that girls are too wea: and too foolish to love the right man, the man that Is good to them and that Is nice and deserves their love, but that the fellow that Is rude and bad wins them, because the girls think he Is a strong charac ter. Maybe that Is all true of me, too. Anyhow, the rough man soon got me on a string and now I am engaged to him. This has been going on for months. and now I am sorry for the other fellow who suffers very much. I am sure I will never be happy with my present fiance, because he Is not nice-looking and he Is as rough as ever. I wish I could get rid of him and marry the other one and be really happy, but I have not the strength, because this man can do anything he wants with me, al though I see he is not nice and that I really do not like him. Something tells me I am going to my ruin. Please tell me what to do, because I am all alone In this country and I have and lent him the money on the air so caught sight of it nobody to advise me.

Ruber Talks for Corporation. Huber stated to the committee that every new car coming to Portland was equipped with air brakes and every old car not lesi than Z5 reet long was being provided with this life-saving de vice. He urged upon the committee that it had been proved that streetcars could be stopped Just as quickly with hand levers ps with air brakes. Huber asserted that that portion of the ordinance wnicn compelled street cars to stop upon nearlng a motionless car would knock the schedule galley west. He further Intimated that he did not believe the people would stand for any break up of the schedule as would be necessary under the Vaughn ordi nance. According to Mr. Huber if this provision !s enforced the streetcar com panv will need a third more cars to keep up tne present running time. Relative to fenders. Mr. Huber said: "Whenever this council designates a fender for our streetcars we shall Im mediately comply with Its requirements. We are as anxious to protect life as any one of you eouncllmen. But we don't want to equip every one of our cars with a certain fender and then be com pelled to make a change in six months or a year." ARREST OF OFFICIALS (Continued from Page One.) torheys to the effect that there is now no law effective covering the present case Is a silly contention. I believe It Is futile to argue that the courts would hold the legislature could pass a law on any certain subject repealing all other existing laws on the same subject, and then postpone the effectiveness of the new law for IS months, leaving the state without any law at all.- arew taw Is Inoperative . "It would be Just as logical to argue that the legislature could pass a law abolishing capital punishment for mur der and providing other punishment, re pealing all other existing laws and at the same time putting off the operation of the new law for some extended pe riod. Such a procedure would make It imnnsalhle for the state to Drosecute any person for murder until after the time limit had expired and would thus leave no punishment or no law govern ing murder. T'No attorney would hold such a con dition to be legal and yet it is exactly fiarallel to the contention that the new aw though not yet operative as to its penalties, is operative msoiar as u re peals all existing law and blocks any prosecution under the old statutes or the new." I svr,m the statements made It Is ao- parent that the arrest of the bank of- revoke them. A number of eouncllmen not members of the street committee were present at tne meeting, including uajcer, wno urged that the franchises be revoked. "We cannot make fish of one and flesh of another." said Baker, in discussing the franchise forfeiture. Members of the council believe this action will have a salutary effect on other persons or corporations who hold i rranchises, but who have shown little disposition so far to carry out their provisions. The temper of the com mittee was tested yesterday, and prac tically every one favors stringent treat ment of delinquent grantees. CRAFT CHECKS (Continued from Page One.) work only when they are about to starve and never beg unless forced to do so. "They perform their work In a lasy manner and do as little as possible. A new gang Is req"ired every three or four days and each gang Is as bad as another. "The men are paid from 12.75 to 13 a day. Their board costs them $4.60 a week. The work is hard and sometimes dangerous, but the condition of the men Is similar to that found In every rail road camn. They have good food and work 10 hours a day. "The men work but a few days and leave. The camp at present Is at Al mota. The men have to walk to Col fax, 18 miles away, to receive their pay. Once at Colfax they have to wait at least three days to receive their money. Their time is made up and sent to Portland to be approved and then-returned to Colfax. This requires three days end the men lie about in Idleness during that time. The oldest man In the gang is the water boy. who has a pretty easy time of It. rne worst feature in securlns- hem Is that no one can work In the gang unless he comes from the emnlovment agent. Often good men appear who want work but they are not taken on unless they have come from the em-1 ployment agent. In the meantime the road is unfinished, the wheat Is uncut and the peaches and fruit rot upon the trees because the farmers have no means Tor shipping. "The country throusrh which the road is Deing ouut is not considered dlfn cult for railroad construction and the road should have been completed months ago. v T, BOILING WATER USED IN DECKHAND FIGHT Seattle?" And so on. At the Postal they are equally astonished that anyone should consider the strike of Importance. "More operators." queried the young woman at the desk, "more than what, pray? What is your standard of com parison r So, according to the tele graph companies the telegraphers are wise in seeking Other fields of employ ment. It is Only those seeking to send messages who appreciate that there Is a strike on. They are given to under stand that all messages are taken sub ject to indefinite delay, ranging from several hours to a day or two. Reports received at the local head quarters this morning state that all over the country the strikers are successful and have made the tleup complete. In Helena not an operator is at work. Tammany hall in New York has donated xi.ooo a week to the support ox tne union men and their families. ICore Trouble for Companies. In Chicago they claim the dissatisfac tion Is sDreadlna among the strlkebreak ers, who are preparing; to strike Mon- aay. Locally the telegraphers are receiving much sympathy and substantial aid. A committee Visited the Willamette lodge No. 28 of the machinists last evening evening, and were given assurance of moral and financial support, i ne rooms that the union is occupying in the Es mond hotel are being furnished by the kindness of Manager Oscar Anderson, who has also helDed the telegraphers in many other ways, such as the sale of their tickets for the ball next Thursday. This ball Is to be held in Murlark hall August 79 and Mayor Lane and Mrs. Lane have agreed to lead the grand march. Last night the local affiliated with the Federated Trades' council at Drew hall and resolutions were passed by the council approving of the strike and cal ling for the moral and financial sup port Qf all the union men In the city. Three members of the Telegraphers' union were made members of the Trades' council. This move It is believed will be a very Important vone In determin ing a successful end to the strike In Portland. promise with the companies. It is the first official intimation from either side In the controversy that a compromise would even be considered. Heretofore the strikers have been emphatic In their assertions that ths only settlement which they would consider was com plete surrender by the companies. The companies, on -the other hand, still assert that there ill be no com- firomlse with the ope ii tors. Superln endent Belvedere Brooks said: "I am perfectly satisfied that if we sent out a notice that we were ready to take the strikers back on conditions existing before they struck there would be a stampede back to work within 24 hours. We are not going to do that." The first strike benefit was paid to day and while the amount Is not given it Is asserted that the treasury is ample to finance the fight for three months.
