The experiment OF putting q woman
in charge of part of the street-clean-
ing work in Chicago pleases the sweep
ers. One OF them said, through an in
terpreter: I'VE like the woman. She
doesn't curse and swear at US. Man
foreman drive US around like slaves
and call US bad names. She say, How
do?' and other nice things, and then
We do good work. She see it and say
so. That make US feel good, and we
work more" You can get better work
even out OF a dumb beast by being
kind to him; much more out OF a man
as this woman's dealings with unprorn.
Using material abundantly show.
