Show The Lady Tytos in Cincinnati. Prominent among the delegates are two ladies, Miss Augusta Lewis, delegate, dele-gate, and Miss Kate Cu.-ack, alternate, from the omen's Typographical Union of New York- These ladies, although young and handsome, are now veterans iu the cause of woman's right to earn her living by honest labor at a fair price for her work. .M iss Lewis is a sprightly, intelligent lady, and talks very sensibly on the topics that most interest her. She represents one hundred and eighty lemaie type-setters of New York, sixty of whom belong be-long to the union. Miss Lewis has a very poor opinion of the World office, which, she says, took in female typesetters type-setters to help it out ot a strike, and, after its troubles was all over, published publish-ed editorials sneering at the ladies as compositors. She does not believe in females helping offices out of strikes. W hen applied to by girls who have asked her advice upon being offered situations in the places of men striking, she makes it a rule to ask why the newspaper proprietors did not previously previ-ously employ women if they thought so well of them as workers, and to refuse re-fuse to encourage women to take the places of men having families depending depend-ing upon them for support. Miss Lewis informs us that she does not seek to take any prominent place in this meeting. She only desires to fairly repiesent the claims of women upon the association. Cincinnati Commercial. |
