DEAD CATS

Der ALLEY IN BUSINESS DIS
TRICT THAT HEALTH Of
FICER HAS OVERLOOKED.

People living in the vicinity OF
the alley back of the Olympia hotel
corner of Riverside avenue and
Division street, have complained to
The Press regarding the filthy con.
dition of the alley, and claim that
although the health department has
been notified of conditions no eff
fort has been made to order those
responsible to clean up.
The health department, it is said,
came, saw, held its nose and hur-
ried away. A Press representative
viewed the place this morning and
found very filthy conditions mucn
worse than the informant said. He
was able to linger just long enough
TO note that the place is muddy
and foul vapor arises when the
sun strikes it. An unclean outbuild-
ing sets open on the alley and old
bedding. touches, bottles, cans and
germ breeding substances lay there
along with a couple of dead cats
mingling a foul smell which is con.
tagious and dangerous to the
health of the public.
An OPT rtunity to get busy with
the city muck rake and garbage
can is presented the health depart
ment at this location.

SIPS for 112 pounds of chain, and
a woman can only make about 16S

The poverty at Cradley Heath is
so terrible and the work so eX-

labors. The women work invari-
ably at the forge up to within an
hour or so before their children
are born, and one woman brags
that she has brought nine Children
into the world and in each case
worked to within an hour of her
illness.
Though it is recognized that
chain making is not women's work,
the poverty of the people has made
it a necessity, owing to the fact
that that husbands cannot earn suf-

LONDON, June 26.-Women
blacksmiths who compete with men
and women miners who slave long
hours in the dark away from their
children are among the problems
that confront the social student in
England today.
In the villages of Bromsgrove,
Sidemoor and Cradley Heath. sit
uated inc one of the prettiest Sec
tions of the midland country of
England, girls and women slave
their lives out making nails and
chains.
1t is not an unusual sight to see
a woman standing, bare armed and
in shreds of clothes, at a fiery
forge, beating red hot iron into
shape with a Sc pound hammer in
one arm, while with the other she
holds to her breast an infant only
a few days old.
In the corner of the room may be
a 10 year old girl dancing on the
rod of a bellows which she can
scarcely force down with her
emaciated, weightless little shell of
q body.
Some of these women have six or
eight children in the furnace room
with them, being too poor to en-
ploy someone to mind them out
side; and many cases come into the
local courts owing to women let
ting their infants fall into the fire.
Deaths from this cause are not in
frequent. The body and face of
every child is pitmarked where
sparks of hot metal have stung and
burned into the flesh.
The condition of these woman
slaves who do mems work is hard
to realize in this Goth century. In
Cradley Heath district 1000 tons of
chain per week are made, and one
third of this work is done by wom-
en-. Everything in the chain line
is produced from great mooring
cables to handcuff links.
Women receive for chain making

The policemen and the Washing

swords points over the recent or

That the orders are being car

Wilson was compelled to pay for
his ride because he did not wear
