The Wages of Girls in Corset shops


 Various reports have been in circulation l lately in reference to the pay of girls work ing in the several corset shops in the city It is said that they are not able to earn a sufficient compensation for their labors, that they are overworked and ill treated. The report concerning the shop of I. New man & Company was of such character that 8 reporter was despatched to visit the shop and ask the privilege of interviewing some of the girls The reporter was cordially met by MT. Newman, and on stating his business was given the desired privilege Large numbers of the girls have worked for the firm from three to five years, which speaks well for the concern. The employees are not obliged to be on hand promptly in the morning, but are given quite 8 leeway. On being questioned as to the amount of wa ges paid, the reporter learned that on an average of eight hours 8 day they receive from $5 to $S week without any special ef fort to improve all their time. Miss Louise Hoffman, the forewoman said that there was not girl in the shop who, if she tried could not earn at least one dollar for nine hours work. But there are some girls who do particular kind of work, and if they can't get that class of work will do nothing until they can. Through the kindness of Miss K. l.. Miller, the bookkeep- CT, who showed the reporter the method of keeping the books, he discovered that many of the girls were making from $S to $12 every week. One little girl said she had been at work but five weeks and had learned the method of embroidering SO that she was able to earn from $4. 50 to $5 week. There is class of help that is known as floating help" who go from shop to shop, staying but a short time in any place. That class do not earn enough to say SO, and from whom probably the reports originated.

 People were not overcome with Wiggins anxiety yesterday, but Wiggins prediction furnished mild jest for everybody. Wig. gins does not yet hide his diminished head, but maintains that tho show is merely de. layed, not indefinitely postponed, and calls upon an assembled and admiring universe to take heed and get their snow shoes ready. One little boy yesterday, hearing so much said about Wiggins, inquired of his mother who Wiggins was. ''Oh!" said his mamma, ''he is a weather prophet ' 'Well, ma, continued the boy, ''what is a prophet ?'' 'tOh, replied the mother, ia prophet for tells what is to happen ''Well, ma," said the boy, ''are you prophet ever p The fond mamma admitted that she had lean ing that way, and she often had present. ments. ''Well ma," persisted the young hopeful, 'fwhat is presentiment By this time the mother manifested disposition to cut of the debate. The boy, however, came up to the scratch all smiling, and repeated his request for knowledge. The mamma re- piled, ''Ohi don't bother mel A present. ment is a conundrum, and that's enough. If you ask any more questions I will send you to Wiggins, and he will lock you up in 8 show storm off on the prairies and compel you to eat icicles till the Fourth of July. !"
