BUTTONHOLES AND BABIES AT NEW YORK DIET KITCHEN MEETING
The New York Diet Kitchen association held its twenty eighth annual meeting with Dr Annie B Daniel describing dire poverty. She cited a five person family living in two rooms earning four dollars twenty five cents weekly who rely on milk for three children. She recalled a Jewish woman turning a profit by boarding workers for three dollars monthly while feeding them two meals daily. Dr Daniel noted children begin sewing buttonholes at age three due to factory restrictions until age fourteen. One case described a sick mother with pneumonia holding a sick child while sewing buttonholes.

Indians Seek Redress Over 1853 Treaty Land Grabs in Montana
The Blackfeet and allied tribes hire Charles O Donnell to sue for compensation. They claim a 99 year grant covered territory north and west of the Yellowstone and that 27 million acres were taken by Congress 19 years later, shrinking their lands and rights amid alleged misrepresentations by interpreters and government officials. The land in dispute would amount to about a third of Montana.
