merry because she was working Ike slave
for the big round dollar that was to repre-
sent the 10 hours work Of that long, long
day.
She brushed her hair back with her up
rolled sleeve as the reporter came along.
Her hands were sticky with the soft fruit,
and smoothing hair with them was not to be
thought OF.
81 have worked at easier Jobs" she said,
smiling az the reporter with an srchness
that showed that it took more than a rushed
fruit canneTy TO dull her spirits, but this
is hard enough. Your clothes stick to you
50, and your back don't have a chance TO
get Strengthened up"
THE heat does not seem to make you
ill.," remarked the rerorter, glanelng at the
rdddy cheek, on which the word health"
was plainly written.
"Oh. no; but it's pretty hard for some Of
the girls-those that work overtime"
"How long DO they work?"
LAS long as they please. Some Of them
start In at O'clock 10 the morning and
keep it up until l O'clock the next morning"
And they make how much?"
''Oh, some Of them get as high as So"
You do not seem to have much to do
with the Others"
NO; they're all strangers to me. Haven't
time to make acquaintance, and wouldn't
do it anyway. There are some hoTrid girls
here"
She looked off down through the steam.
Wiping his brow with his andkerchief, the
reporter followed her gaze.
There were old women and young women,
middle-aged women aud mere children-aIi
up TO their elbows in peaches and all look
ing tired and hot. But they kept up a spir-
tied whisp eTing-buzz, buzz, buzz all over
the big room. In that awful reek of de-
cayed fruit, sweating bodies and spent
steam, what they found to whisper about
the Lord only knows.
Occasionally there was an outburst of
laughter, as some smeared-faeed worker
came down the aisle or a solemn Chinese
looked over the watts and made ludicrous
gesture. As rule, though. there was as
little mirth as there seemed occasion for In
that insufferable heat
you wouldn't catch me here II I didn't
have so many depending on NE at home"
said the girl worker as she Tipped the pit
out Of peach and threw Ii into the pile at
her side.
Can you make enough to support them p"
well, yes. If you don't ask what kind of
support it is"

A GREAT RUSH OF FRUIT.
The Hot Weather Ripens Pears
and Peaches Quickly.
Our Gamers Have More offerings Than They
Can Hsndls-Prices Very
Low.

Peaches and pears have been rushed into
this city in such quantities during the past
few days that the market is greatly over
stocked and there is a likelihood of much
fruit spelling before it can be canned or
consumed.
When fine clingstone peaches come all
the way from Chico, each peach wrapped
in a separate paper, and are sold to a can
ner for three-fourths of cent a pound, IL
may be truly stated that there is glut In
the fruit market
Some OF the fruit cannot be disposed Of at
any price.
I'VE can command the best grades of
peaches and pears now" said leading
Gamer yesterday. land pay very little; but
the smaller canneries are working on con-
tract frat. and so cannot take advantage Of
the abnormal state of the market"
WHAT has caused the great rush of fruit
to the marketP' asked THE CALL reporter.
"Oh. there is a big crop, and then the hot
weather of the past few days has ripened
the fruit so fast that it has had to be sent in
in hurry"
How about Eastern shipments Of green
fruit?"
well they have been very heavy; but,
you see, there is a scarcity of fruitcars, and
that has kept back a good many peaches
that ought TO have gone out. The railroad
strikes in the East has also had bad effect.
The Gamers cannot handle more than two
thirds of what is now being offered, and of
course the producers must suffer loss"
"But this state of things will not last
long," the Gamer went on. 1T is bound 10
occur every year when there is biz crop
and exceptionally warm weather"
Isidnr Jacobs of 4. Lusk 81 Co. said:
1--WE are turning out 100000 cans Of fruit a
day now in our San Francisco cannery, en-
ploying about 500 fruit-handlers. We are
making heavy shipments of canned goods
to the East by sea. We have TO hold large
quantities Of fruit, as our Eastern patrons
want to wait until the railroad situation is
cleared up"
A visit TO the Lusk cannery showed a
rushing state OF things.
The biz ean-making establis hment on
Brannan street. near Fifth, Is making ND
vast quantities OF tin-plate into cans
1t now has facilities for turning out 100
cans minute.
The wonderful network OF machinery
there is well worth a visit. The cans are
made automatically. All the human labor
required is simply the feeding. oiliDg and
experimenting of the machines.

of the fruits entry by one door in the fresh
state and its tumbling out of another door,
canned and ready fer the labels, was not
more than 10 minutes.
1t was all done with q rush and whirl In
the ferCe San Francisco way Of doing such
things.
And 10000 cans dayi
How long will you work here?" asked
the reporter of the girl, whose fingers had
not ceased to ply the peeling-knife while he
had been glancing around the room.
II don't know. 1t may be two weeks. l
hope il wont be as hot as this every day IN
here"
"And after thatp"
swell, l think I'll 90 out for upstairs
work. L can get situation on Suffer street
-s15 month. 1t isn't as good pay as this.
but you get chance TO breathe"
AS the reporter went out he looked back
at the steaming. sweating kuife-pliers. 1t
made one hot to look at them. He saw the
girl with the light. wavy hair bending over
her workbench. She did not have her Wis
ltors' smile on. She was seen as she really
was when no outsider was around
There was no need just then to make light
OF the hard. hot ten hours day that she
was toiling for the round dollar which the
railroad director was throwing upon the
counter for couple of good cigars to be
smoked in the cool shade up at Tahoe
But she was strong, she had health and
ambition, and the hot hard work had to be
done by somebody.
1t was on the beach at Santa Cruz
"Maude, dear. don't 60 out in that horrid
SUM-
but, Genevleve. what is there to do down
here? We've had our turn in the water. l
feel quite cool now.
We'll. if you must go somewhere. get
INTO the dog,cart and We'll 60 up to the ho-
tel veranda."
And sit and be stared at by that crowd?
Never. There's the cunningest, coolest
place over ON the grounds beyond the cypress
walk. Come on. never mind che dOg-cart"
The two girls make their way TO the cum
ningest coolest place. Two hammockS in
the shade-a Howells and a Kipling ready
at hand.
And there they lie and swing gently and
read oil other girls In other hammocks.
1t is breezy, understanding, ard the soft
roar OF the surf comes gently to their ears
All cool, all quiet. all peaceful. ali restful,
and no such place as rot San Francisco
and no such thing as steaming sinking
