President. it is with great pride that I rise today with my distinguished colleague Senator SCHUMER to introduce the "Kate Mullany National Historic Site Designation Act." a bill to designate the Troy. New York. home of pioneer labor organizer Kate Mullany as a National Historic Site. A similar measure introduced in the House of Representatives last year by Congressman MICHAEL R. MCNULTY engendered a great deal of support and was cosponsored by over 100 members. Like many Irish immigrants settling in Troy. Kate Mullany found her opportunities limited to the most difficult and lowpaying of jobs. the collar laundry industry. Troy was then known as "The Collar City"-the birthplace of the detachable shirt collar.
