the stranger found an old man on ii
load Of wood, and in conversation with

Among the subjects considered at the Rich
mond convention of the Knights of Labor was
women's labor; and one of the committees
suggested it would be well to appoint COM
mission of women Knights to investigate the
condition of their sisters who work for
wages. Though it may not have been
known at Richmond, the chief of the Bureau
of Labor statistics has anticipated the
Knights in this work. About the middle of
last July three agents, Mr.. Lee Merriweather
of ST. Louis, Miss q. Der-Graffenreid of
Georgia, and Miss Harriet H. Davidson of
North Carolina, left Washington with spe-
cial instructions to collect facts concerning
the laboring women Of the country. They
spent seven weeks in Brooklyn, n. Y
thence going to Providence, R. l. Now they
are in st. Louis, Mo. On entering factory,
store or other establishment where women
are employed, the agent presents credentials
from Carroll d. Wright to the overseer or
proprietor; and then with the latt sr's per-
mission questions the employees individually.
These questions relate to surroundings at
home and at work socially and morally, ed
ucational advantages and sanitary conditions
of homes and places of employment. Earn
ings and expenses, hours of labor and health
are few of the most important of the many
matters that are inquired into. The results
of each days work are sent to Washington
on blanks prepared for the purpose. In ev-
cry city the agents are required to see a GER
tain percentage of the women employed fol
wages. Although in some instances the
agents have met with opposition from EN-
ployers, and in other cases from employees
the work has generally been very successful
and the commission hopes to issue full ant
instructive report at the end of year. o.
course the investigation has not been carried
far enough to furnish any deductions O.
value. One observation. however, has beer
made. In no case have these agents found
wonlel receiving equal wages with men who
do the same work. This, of course, was
well known before; but when this disadvan-
tage of women workers is compared in al
official report, the call upon public attention
will be for the first time emphatic and man
