BLOUSE MAKING.
WEALTHY liADIES JOIN A By Cable.—Presa Awoeiatioiu—Oopyrigai New York December 10. Mrs. liermont, Miss Morgan, and several wealthy ladies in New York have joined the Blouse Makers' Union. Mr. Pierpont Morgan, speaking at a plutocrats' meeting declared that something was wrong if women could only earn tlurtv-two shillings a week. Twenty thousand work-girls and blouse-makers of New Cork struck last month for shorter hours and higher wages. The employers made concessions. An idea of the number of women engaged in the woollen industry may be had when it is remembered that seyeral of the larger dry goods stores in New l!ork employ from five thousand to eight thousand women and girls, and meet only local requirements, while each of the huge warehouses, of which there is a very large number in the city, employs hundreds of travellers, who cover every inch of the United States and Canadian territory.
