Show postponed MARINE BAND A popular feature of washington life improvements at the white house june 2 SPECIAL the announcement that the president has resolved to postpone the appointment of the nine judges who are to constitute the new ap coart which was created byan act of the last congress until the senate shall be in session and he can send the jamea of those selected to it for confirmation has been received with great satisfaction when the act referred to became law samne pressure was brought to bear the president to make the appointments immediately and many hopeful aspiring and expectant members of congress whose representative career was ended argued that the clause of the constitution which authorizes him to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the senate another assurance is conveyed in the report that in making these appointments the president will not confine his appointments to his own political party it has heretofore been ared that to these places the best men that can be got should be appointed and that duo qualification should wholly overrule mere political affiliation our judges should be men of good character I 1 of great learning of calm judicial temper and possessing the respect and confidence of ahw country from the first it was certain that only such men could receive appointment at the hands of president harrison and he knows as well as any one that they are to be found in both parties the judicial appointments which he has already made have non universal approval and extorted praise even from the opposition press there is every reason therefore to believe that when the naw appointments come to be announce eathey will be found eminently acceptable to the whole country and to both the great political parties into which its people are divided there is at least one feature in washington out door life which seems to batter but little change as the years coma and eo and that is the marine band

the eight hoar movement the question what part are the women workers taking in the eight hour movement has been asked of several prominent labor people their replies might all be summed up in the words not any those who are the active part in the eight hour movement are already working only nine henrs and their wages average three or four dollars a day there is no trade or women thoroughly organized and until they are says the secretary of the working society they can do nothing those who are in organizations are trying to get the state to reg their hours of labor and it seems positively brutal from more than one point of view to think that we women are asking that our sisters shall not be allowed to work more than ten hours a day ten hours is now considered a brutalizing ly long day by those men who are striking for eight hours but these men have excellent wages even for that short time while the women of new york if they worked even longer hours could not make an honest living and even this simple demand we could not obtain the eight hour movement is an argument in favor of organizations of women separate from men the men of a trade are naturally selfish they consider their interests first consequently reforms in the condition of women are tardy and it always will be BO until women themselves take ap these problems that too is one of the rather hopeless things women are not usually good material in a labor organization there are always outside influences home ties that are brought forcibly to bear upon their actions at the critical moment then most girls feel that they wont have to work always that they will soon have a home of their own this has much to do with retarding organization among women that it will be a great many years before women will have the eight hour work day is the general opinion it may be trite to say that working women receive smaller pay and invariably work longer hours than men the girl who is a saleswoman works in the better class cf stores nine and one half hours four days in the week and thirteen hours the remaining days in the smaller places she usually spends thirteen or fourteen hours every day sometimes Bome times in a seven day week if she ia employed in a shirt factory or if she makes gloves overalls jumpers underwear dresses or flowers she works ten hours in the factory because the law compels the manufacturer not to employ her longer and then takes home work enough to keep her busy until 11 or 13 clock at night if she is a dressmaker milliner or she considers herself lucky to get four k in the dull season aud works sixteen ars if she is employed in a restaurant she works from 7 a m to 10 p m new york recorder another van yacht mr fred vanderbilt was so emch pleased with the excursions which
