DESCRIBES LABOR
TO ASSIST GIRLS
Miss Maud Younger. Suffragette,
Attends Session of State
iv Federation of Labor
ACTIVITY IN SETTLEMENTS
Former Society. Woman of San
Francisco Tells of Work v
in New York
Miss Maud Younger, former society
woman of San Francisco, but now an
organizer of unions among working
•women, an enthusiastic suffragette and
a believer in Socialism, is n participant
in the convention of the State Federa
tion of Labor now being held hero.
She tells an interesting Btory of her
■work In New York i Ity, where sho be
gan her efforts in behalf of women who
have to make their own way In life.
The work undertaken In New York
city by Miss Younger and her associ
ates is flourishing now. It has at
tracted the attention of such women as
Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, Miss Anne
Morgan and others, and they are aid
"ing liberally. In discussing her work
Miss Younger said yesterday:
"My Interest was aroused when I at
tended school back east, ten years
ago, and for seven years I worked
among: the poor ns a member of one of
those east aide New York settlements.
While in this settlement I learned just
what the lot of the poor working girls
is. by working with them side by
side.
WORKED AS A WAITRESS
"For a while I worked as a waitress
nnd that experience clearly showed me
that the only hope for those girls, the
only way to keep them from becoming
victims of the white slave tride, to
get their wages increased and this step
in their betterment, I quickly saw,
could only be reached through a
union,
"Having arrived at this conclusion,
I worked hard in helping organize the
Woman's Trade Union league of New
York city, which has bettered the
■working girls' conditions in that Ity
bo much. This work has been taken
up by many wealthy women of that
city now, among them being Ml O.
H. P. Belmont and Miss Anne Morgan,
who are delving deep into their private
purses, and through their inlluonce
are getting many other wealthy women
to assist financially in bettering the
condition of girls who have to labor
for a living-."
Speaking of the laboring- girls' con
dition in her home city, San Francisco,
Miss Younger gave a glowing account
of the progress in the last ton years.
She said:
"Ten years ago, when there was no
woman's union in San Francisco, girls
■were working in the laundries sixteen
iind seventeen hours a day and Bevi n
days in the week, many of them sleep
ing in the laundries close by their
work. Clubs did nothing to help them
then, nor did public opinion, expressed
through the newspapers, aid materially
in bettering their condition.
"At that time the waitresses worked
twelve and fourteen hours a day, and
seven days in the week, for $5.
"What a difference the unions have
wrought in that situation since! Now
the laundry girls have a ten-hour day
and get one day a week for pleasure—
the waitresses work the same hours
and also get a day for pleasure, but
instead of getting $5 they now draw
$10 each week.
"Besides the betterment of the
wages and the hours, the working
girls of San Francisco now have clubs
to go to, they have a physician to at
tend them when ailing and there are
many other improvements in their con
dition that has been wrought by their
organization into a union.
HOrE FOR HIGHER WAGES
"Unions are th<' only hope for
women. It is to unions they have to
look for higher wages, and their
liigher wages will keep them from In
coming- white slaves 1 only wish that
] had time to stay in Los Angeles and
help better the condition of the labor
ing girls here.
"I don't know much about conditions
here, but I understand the working
girls are getting on nicely. If they
Will stand true to their unions and
remember that trade unions are doing
more for the progress and betterment
of humanity than anything else, I
know they will have many days of
happiness."
Miss Younger, when the labor con
vention close:- the latter part of the
week, will depart foi the east. En
route she will visit. Milwaukee,
she will stud} I Socialistic
government.

SEATTLE UNION INSISTS
ON FULL INVESTIGATION
Organization Adopts Resolution
Criticising L. A. Merchants
SEATTLE, Oct. 6.—The Central
Labor union, whi.'h includes practical
ly all the organized workmen In Seat
tle, last night adopted a resolution de;
manding "a full and fair investigation
Of all the facts and circumstances sur
rounding the loss of life and destruc
tion of the Los Angeles Times building,
and that such investigation be con
ducted with the view of fixing the re
sponsibility therefor and the apprehen
sion and punishment of the p. rpetrat
ors thereof, and not for the purpose of
forwarding the aims and objects of the
Merchants and Manufacturers associa
tion."
A preamble declares:
"We are warranted in believing that
the destruction of the Los Angeles
Times building and the deatli of wage
workers therein and the charging of
such murderous and criminal act to
organised labor is in perfect accord
with the purpose and object of the said
pri tended Merchants and Manufac
turers association in its efforts to in
jure, and destroy organized labor."

JOIICHT HIS AID
Two Arrests May Yield Light on
Mystery of Times Build
ing Explosion
(Continued from I'nee One)
that of Haggarty. The identification
was made through the finding of a.
small wrench near the body. Hag
garty's father questioned the correct
ness of it because the wrench was not
like the one his son carried. That the
father was right is shown by the iden
tification of the body found yesterday.
It is the seventeenth taken from the
ruins.
The body of J. Wesley Reaves, which
was found several days ago. was
buried yesterday, leaving sixteen
bodies awaiting burial.
It is thought that there are still six
bodies in the ruins. It will be Impos
sible to recover these until the debris
is removed from the north end of the
ruins. They are thought to be near
the rear elevator shaft which so many
S of the employes attempted to use as
a means of escape from the burning
building.
FIRE BREAKS OUT
Fire which had smouldered since the
explosion broke out again yesterday,
necessitating the calling out of the fire
department to extinguish the flames.
The fire was confined to the rear of
the ruins and did not reach the place
where the remaining bodies are
thought to be.
Throughout the day employes of the
Baker Iron works were at work hoist
ing the Iron beams and debris from
the ruins. Shortly before 6 o'clock the
men were ordered to stop, as the wall
on the east side of the ruins was de
clared to be unsafe. Several m.?n were
sent to brace it, and the workmen will
I resume their work again today. The
wall on the north side of the building
will be torn down today, it is under
stood.
'aptain of Detectives Paul Flammer,
when asked for any new developments
in the case, replied that his men were
still hard at work, but that he could
give out nothing.
"While we have run down innumer
able clews which have not amounted
to much, we have several which ap
pear promising to us," he said.
No arrangements have been made
for funeral services over the bodies of
the victims. It is planned to hold one
funeral for them all and have one
burial in the Hollywood cemetery.
This has not been definitely decided.
It was announced at Rresee Bros.' un
dertaking parlors last night that the
funerals probably would be held Sun
day afternoon from Templo audito
rium, as this is the only place in the
city which will accommodate the large
crowd which is expected to attend.

Puritas Distilled Water
for Healthful Drinking
Contains None of the Mineral Impurities
Found In Natural Waters
Many people complain of the "brack
ish" taste common to most waters in
Southern California. Even our city
water Is not free from it.
This taste is due to the considerable
quantities of mineral matter in the
water. These minerals are held in so
lution— thoroughly dissolved. The wa
ter cannot be freed from them by any
filter or othor mechanical device.
This mineralized water is not only
unpleasant to the taste, but It has a
distinctly harmful effect on many per
sons. To its action may be attributed
many kidney and rheumatic troubles,
ai tiie mineral matter cannot bo as- |
similtlted by the body, but becomes
deposited in the arteries.
You should drink pure, "soft 1 water,
and In this vicinity the only reliable
supply Is Puritas Distilled Water, p
I'urltas is absolutely pure. We dis
till it twice, double distillation being
essential to insure its purity.
Puritas is full of zest and sparkle.
This is due to the fact that it Is aerated
with pure ozone. The ozone is secured
by a unique pro^ss—filtered air is
passed through an electric current, and
the resulting ozone is forced into the
pun>, dlitillad water awaiting it.
We bottle Puritas in clean glass
demijohns. Every care is exercised In
the work, and We even wrap the corks
in foil, In order that the air, filtering
through a porous cork, may not con
taminate the pure water within.
I'uritas is very inexpensive. Five
Ballon a coal but 40c, delivered within
the old city boundary lines. At points
farther removed the cost is a trifle
more, owing to the long haul. Regular
Purltai customers purchase Coupon
Hooka, thus securing the pure water at
a discount. When you telephone us
aak about these. Home 10053, Sunset
Main 8191.
I'uritas is obtainable from dealers in
most towns throughout Southern Cali
fornia. If you have any difficulty in
securing it write us and we will see
that you are supplied.
