unable to do anything. lie provided
them with shelter, clothing, food and
fuel. His wages were so small that
after paying the bills of the household
he had nothing left for himself. He
could not buy either an overcoat or
undergarments to protect him from
rough weather. In order to 90 out
with his car at 6l every morning., he
was obliged to walk four and a half
miles. The rules of the company for
bidding the employees to ride without
paying fare, when not on duty, forced
him to walk back every night. Thus.
in addition to his fifteen hours of hard
work, he had a daily walk of nine
miles. For two months he never
spent a single cent of his earnings.
All went home to his mother. Con-
tinued toll, exposure and privation
broke down his health. He was at
