GREAT SACRIFICE
OF YOUNG GIRLS
Who Toll in Factories, Foundries
and Other Places for Their
Observation-Disclosures Working
Conditions.

In Pittsburg foundry, girls are
employed to make simple cores for
castings. 4 quick girl can make
10000 a day, fer which she re-
ccives 81. According to the in
vestigator who reports to Chari-
ties on 'Pittsburg Women in the
Metal Irades,' this work is carried
on in clouds OF drifting dust. AS
the cores are finished they are set
on trays, which the women carry
across the room to the ovens. A
loaded tray weighs from ten to
twenty y-fve pounds. In an eIectri-
cal factory in East Pittsburg $50
women are employed on picccwork
in winding coils for armatures.
The fastest make 81 At a day.
The work is so taxing that the
employees give out readily. Only
twenty-five have been in the
factory four years. Three screw
and bolt works in the same city
employ J43 women. A bolt trim
mcr--to use one class Of labor us
an Illustration stands for ten
hours before machine. She feeds
bolts to the machine at two second
a wage of ninety six cents.
Bad conditions for these women
to work under, ana likely to have
an Indirect effect in weakened and
Stuntcd children.
Doubtless the employers feel
that they are not to blame, that
they are forced by competition for
cheap goods to hire cheap labor.
If any one of.them should hold out
and refuse to use the methods of
his competitors he would be forced
to the wall. So it is up to organ
ized society to take a hand and
fix the rules of the game. Con-
ditlons for the employment of
women and children must be deter
m,"cd and enforced by the state.
otherwise society is at the mercy
OF a demand for chcapness that
sacrifices the future Of the race.

THE EMBI EN-
OF JUSTICE
Rev. Walter Vrooman Praises the
Sacredness of the Union Label
Represents all that is Noble
in Labor.

By far the strongest endorsement t
Of the union label which we have
seen for many a day, comes
strangely enough, from the pulpit.
1t forms part of Il sermon recently
delivered by Rev. Walter Vrooman
the great Baltimore divine, in
which the revcrned gentleman
said:
"Nhat can be more sacred
more holy or more deserving Of the
reverence of men or angels than
the union label, which signifies
that human life has been more
highly valued in the production of
commodities than the mere profits
sought for by greed. The label is
an emblem of justice, Of fraternity
of humanity. When you find a
labci in Il garment or on a box of
cigars or loaf Of bread. YOU can

sweat shop. That no childlcn's S

cinnati. The Republican members %
the house balked and twisted about
but in the end could not dodge the
Hunt resolution demanding a state
ment on the methods of handling the
tax returns from the gas and electric
and power companies.
The report shows that no investiga-
tion Of the tax returns of the corpo-
raitons in question ever was at
tempted prior to last October and
none of the returns ever was dis
puted. At the October meeting two
were named at the in
stlgation of Attorney General Ellis.
Up to date, according to the report
of Gulbert, this investigation has re-
suited in an increase in the returns
from gas and electric companies
to $121,737, and from cleo
trio light and power companies, s3O1,-
1872. The state is entitled to 1 per
cent of the total.
These figures cover the investiga-
ton of only twenty-six of the 152
companies doing business as domestic
lcorporations Auditor Guilbert gave
az little information as he could in
his report and still come within the
scope of the resolution.
No reference is made to foreign
corporations holding big public utility
interests. Nothing is said of the
merged companies, which are among
the most important in the state. In
the latter class are such corporations
as the Columbus Railways & Light
Co., and the Toledo Railways & Light
Co.
With the statement of Guilbert also
came a report from Treasurer w. S.
Mckinnon. relating to the average
weekly balance of cash in the vaults
of the treasury since Jan. 1 . This re-
port was forced upon both the house
and McKinnon through the activ-
ity OF Representative Stockwell, OF
Cleveland.
! McKinnon's report shows that there
has been an average weekly balance
of more than 100000 lying idle in
the vaults from which the state has
not derived a farthing OF interest
The week ending Jan. 4 there was
Ithe enormous sum of Sl,1SO,S32 and
the week following $l,1I1 ,327. The
week ended March IA there was
l$S7l,515 and the following week
l$713,795.
| McKinnon offered no explanation in
his report. Cash for immediate use
is supposed, under the law, to be
handled by the active repositories
where the money is SUBJECT to check
IThe state is supposed to get / 10 PEI
