MAXWELL Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: The article published in last Monday's issue relative to a meeting of Typographical Union No.

6 does me an injustice. I did not ml' to the "acceptance of $1 in order avoid a long drawn out arbitration, nor did anyone else that I know of. On the contrary, I offered a motion that the demand be increased from $4 to S6 per week and that it be sent to arbitration. The president ruled my motion out of order, and upon my appealing from his decision the president was sustained in his contention that the demand for $4 a week could not be changed to $6. Again, there is no "Mrs.

Mitchell" In the union, nor did any one advocate the acceptance of the SI per week offered by the publishers. Mrs. Fincher supported my contention that we demand $6 a week increase. The article puts me In an unenviable light among those who were not at the meeting and hope that you will see the justice of my cause for complaint and make the correction, Which will be substantiated by the officers of the union, I remain, very truly yours, JOHN H. MAXWELL.

Investigation shows that Mr. Max well did urge a (6 increase, as his letter states, and declared that it would be preferable for the union to accept the publishers offer of $1 rather than accept less than that amount.

Sajr Thry Xwd the Money for Support While Husbands and Sons Are righting. As the result of a recent order from the head of the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts between forty-five and fifty women have been thrown out of occupations that netted them between 13 and SIC weekly and the work formerly done by these women will now be dene by contractors. The work includes the putting on of stripes and tars, on collars for sailors' uniforms, and was formerly given out from the Brooklyn Navy Tard, but the new headquarters is at the Bush Terminal. There is dissatisfaction among the women, many of whom have relied upon this meager income to help in their support while ther sons or hus-bands are fighting in France. Mrs.

Ida B. Lyon of 151 Lefferts avenue, Flatbush, is one of the women affected, and she spoke for the other women when she declared today that it was a shame to throw the women out of employment after they had done such good work since last year, and to give the contracts to people who, she declared, would In all proba-bility turn the work over to sweatshops. Mrs. Lyon said that the women had all subscribed to Liberty Bonds at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, feeling secure that their work would continue and that they would be able to meet all payments. She said that most of the women now would be compelled to cancel their brands, as they would be vunable to keep up the payments.

All of the women have written their Congressmen, and Mrs. Lyon received a replv from Congressman Frederick W. Howe in which he said he would communicate with the other Brooklyn Congressmen and see what could be done for the women. The women want to be reinstated, and say that a great injustice has been done them by turning over the work to contractors. Mrs.

Lyon paid that notices were posted telling the women that they might enter bids for the work, but with the small facilities at hand none of the women could hope to compete with the large manufacturing firms. All the work done by the women was done at their homes. The star work on the collars was paid for at the rate of 6 cents a col-far, end for the tape work 10 cents a collar was paid. Inlorder to make $16 a week the women had to work every day in the week with very little rest, but this amount helped to pay the running expenses of the homes while the men of the family were doing their bit on the fighting fronts. At the Navy Tard today it was stated that only piece workers employed since the outbreak of the war had been laid off under the new system.

Those who have been doing this work for many years have been retained. The quantity of garments turned out is so large, however, that the contract bidding system is a necessity, it was claimed. Catholic news The American Foreign Mission Society has added another priest to its faculty in the person of the Rev. John Swift, who has been released by Cardinal Gibbons that he might join the Maryknoll Society. Father Swift, since his ordination a few years ago, has been attached to St.
