GIRL LEADS STRIKE

Louisville Tobacco Worker Says

LOUISVILLE, Ky, April 2O.-One
girl, and noe very big girl at that,
accomplished what Wallst., the legis-
iatrre and government Investigators
failed 10 do, when she forced The Am

Miss Spaulding sees victory for the

Like a Joan dare she has led her

her work uncounseled. For IL years
she worked in the stemmery, being
forced to leave school to help sup

When she went TO the plant Lulu

something like this:
The inspector went out to talk
with the telephone informant.
That lady didn't know where the
leper lived, but Mrs. Blank did.
The inspector went to Mrs. Blank.
All she knew was what Mrs. Dash
had told her. Mrs. Dash referred
the inspector to Mrs. Smith.
Mrs. Smith passed him along TO
Mrs. Jones. Finally he reached
Mrs. White. All she knew was
a telegraphed story she had -ead
in a newspaper.
Detroit was center for lep-
rosy stories. Boston and Balti-
more, both got undesirable pup

had rumors for months. The
story spread to the Pacific coas,.
DIR. l.. Duncan Buckley, an a--
thority on leprosy, and who now
has a leprosy case at the New

said the hair story is ridiculous.

tract leprosy from hair, even
though the hair came from the
head of a leper," he said.

But the lie has cut such inroads
