white swelling ever saw. More than
twenty pieces of bone came out of her
leg, one piece being about the size of the
small end OF walking cane, and nearly
three inches long. The hole left by
taking these pieces out was as large as
good size walnut. She was not able to
walk step for eight months, and was
afterwards compelled to use crutches for
nearly year. The doctors said there
was no cure, and advised amputation of
the limb. This would not consent to,

WASHINGTON, January 81. = Com
missioner Weight, of the Department Of
Labor, has submitted report which
relates entirely to the subject of "Work-
ing women in great cities"
Three hundred and forty.two district
industries in twenty-five representative
cities, have been investigated. The re-
port shows that the working women of
great cities are practically girls.
The average age in all of the
cities comprehended was % years and 7
months. The average period during
which the women have been engaged in
their present occupations is shown to be
four years and nine months, and, of
6,427 women employed, 9,540 are en-
gagged in the first trial at earning their
own living. OF the whole number,
APO are native born. In the foreign
born, Ireland is most largely represented
and Germany next. The great majority
of the women are single. They are not
only supporting themselves. but giving
their earnings largely to support others
at home.
The report shows that of 17,42S who
reported their health conditions at the
time they commenced work, 16 800 were
in good health, Ss3 in fair health, and
1873 in bad health. The changes in the
health conditions are illustrated by
the fact that 1864 are now
in good health, 2,345 are in fair
health, and 4S9 are in bad health. The
average weekly earnings, by cities,
show San Francisco the highest, with
$60l, and Richmond, Va, the lowest,
1898. The average weekly wage, COM
putting all the cities examined, is 1924.
