IS MRS. BOECK STILL
FACTORY INSPECTOR =?

There Is likely to be some action taken
in the near future to determine whether
Mrs. Theresa Boeck is still factory In
spector. Mrs. Boeck was appointed Fac
tory Inspector for New Castle county
under an act approved May 10. 1897 Al the
session Of the Legislature that year a bill
was passed under tho title. Protection
Of Female Employees" Her duties were 10
Inspect factories and stores where fe-
male employees nre engaged. Her salary
Is $500 year
Factory Inspector James a. Eliason IS
now the factory inspector and the ques-
ton has arisen whether tho bill creating
the factory inspector did not repeal tho
law creating Mrs. Boeck's position. Mrs.
Boeck spent considerable time during the
past summer in Europe. No report Of her
work as factory inspector has been re.
ceived by the State Judges, as the law re.
quired under the 1897 law.
A reporter called Mrs. Boeck by tsle-
phone shortly before noon to-day
She said that she is not acting as IN.
spector as In her opinion the whole thing
comes under the attention Of the man

Mrs. Boeck has been receiving $15 every
three months the county warrant beina
mailed to her address. The last warrant
was issued In September.
