She began work as a child in the hosiery mills in Kensington, Philadelphia and worked in the Kensington factories until 22 years old when she became an organizer for the Congressional Union. Since that time she has been one of the most powerful speakers in the work for the national suffrage amendment, making a very effective appeal because of her intimate acquaintance with the hardships involved in the life of the wage earning woman.

Paul Revere Sentinels appear at Senate Neutrality Hearing. Washington, D.C., May 2. A bit of color was injected today into an otherwise drab session of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations which is conducting hearings on neutrality, when a group of people, known as the Paul Revere Sentinels, appeared to state its views. A spokesman for the committee accused the press of withholding truths about the present international situation and the forces back of it, and warned the committee against allowing itself to become the mouthpiece of the Capitol. The group is opposed to allowing its children to become cannon fodder in another World War. From New York, this group of women are, left to right: Mrs. Lily Reed, Miss Josephine Keane, Mrs. Helen McAllister, Mrs. Marie Hubert, and Miss S.E. McGrath. Mrs. Reed and Mrs. McAllister are both mothers of sons.

The only school near the Cotton Mills, Winona, Miss. A private school taught by Miss. McIntosh, who for several years off and on has conducted it, charging each pupil only one dollar a month. With only ten pupils now the job is not very lucrative. She said it was discouraging, but that many seemed to appreciate it. "What we need is compulsory education and a free school out here, which we may get before long." Children range from six to ten years. One of the ten year old boys said, "Only two more years and I'll be in the mill." Little girls added, "Four years more and I'll be there." They all seemed to feel they would get into the mill as soon as possible.  Location: Winona, Mississippi.

Supt. and overseers with the "Relief Crowd," in Yazoo City (Miss.) Yarn Mills. The Supt. said, "We relieve all children under sixteen for two hours a day except the doffers, who get plenty of time off. They go out and play." Then turning to the children he said, "Now play." They eyed him blankly, "Play wot?" "Oh, play anything." Before they could do it, however, he had to pose them himself (see photo 2106) which was especially posed for the occasion. In this photo, note the disparity between the (alleged) ages of the younger ones who said that they were 12 and 13, and the older ones, who said 15 years old.  Location: Yazoo City, Mississippi.
