WOMEN WORKING
in iron FOUNDRY
Labor Leader Makes Charges
Against Concern Of Gug-

Especial Dispoich to The Call

lSpcctdl DSpdfch TO ne IduJ
BOSTON, Sept. 24.--Chief Jophanus H.
Whitney of the state police. through
his deputy, Joseph T. Moore, is investi-
eating charges made by John F. Shee-
han, a labor leader, at the convention
of the state branch of the American
Federation of Labor at Haverhill, to
the effect that women are employed as
molders in the Blake & Knowles
steam pump works in East Cambridge,
and that they work almost naked amid
the men in this subsidiary concern of
the Guggenheim pump trust in the
shadow of Harvard college.
The women. who do mems work in
this iron foundry. shoveling sand and
lifting heavy weights, are Poles. Super
intendent George P. Aborn admitted to-
day that complaints had been received
that the women employed worked under
improper conditions and for longer
hours than the law permits. He de-
clared the women were properly
clothed, wearing such garments as they
desired, in addition to a protective gown
or apron furnished by the foundry. He
said the work was not an improper sort
for the Polish women, who were
husky He said it was the custom to
employ women to do the core molding.
There are about 26 women employed
as molders, doing the same work that
the men do for about half what the
pen get.
The women are doing piecework. and
in order to earn s1.25 day it is said
they often shorten their lunch hour to
10 minutes. laboring until long after
their supposed quitting time at night.
Terrific heat conditions near the fur
naces make clothing irksome. and the
men in foundries strip to the waist.
Like the men, the women working in a
temperature which often goes up to 10
degrees reduce the clothing until they
are improperly and imnnodestly clothed.
The men deplore the severity of the
work imposed upon the women. but
they, too. are mute. fearing always OF
mourning the displeasure of the firm.

FTER giving time for the force
~ of McCarthy's accusation to

public mind, Father D. O..
Crowley. president of the Youths
Directory and one of the best known
Catholic priests in California made
reply yesterday to the statements made
by the mayor in a political meeting
Friday evening. and denied that either
he or James Rolph misappropriated a
single dollars worth of supplies during
their administration of the Mission re-
lief bureau following the disaster of
1906.
Mccarthy had declared from the
platform that there still remained
s22S,o00 worth of -four for which the
Mission committee, with Rolph and
Father Crowley at its head, had never
rendered an accounting. Following
this general statement, the mayor
shocked his audience in the New Club
hall by saying:
"Jim Rolph nlays have fed the hungry
after the fire in his barn in the Mis-
sion, but he has never rendered an ac-
counting for s22s,ooo worth of -four
turned over to him for the people.

Father Crowley Indignant

= - $500 - - " - 1A&>A . 80
The insinuation made Father Crowley
indignant, and when seen at the
Youths Directory ranch in Napa county
yesterday the coworker with Ro1ph
during the exciting times following the
fire was at loss to account for Nc
Carthy's attitude on this matter. Father
Crowley said:
There is absolutely nothing with
which to back up such a criticism as
Mccarthy has directed against Mr..
Rolph and myself. The mayor can
have no reason for making such a
statement unless he thinks it will help
to win him votes in the election. /
don't think it can help him with the
people of San Francisco.
The charge is not true. In the rst
place there was no chance for the
mishandling of any funds or supplies,
for not only Mr.. Rolph and myself
were stationed at the headquarters of
section of the relief department. but
there were 80 other people there con-
stantly All the provisions. flour,
clothing, rice, blankets and the like
were handed out under an accurate
system of checking and accounting.
Clean Bill Given for Work
Doctor Devine. the special repre-
sentative of the president, in his re-.
port finished August, 1906, and which
was published in the San Francisco
papers, called especial attention to the
work of section under Mr.. Rolph and
named 1t as one of the best managed
relief stations in the city.
..Furthermore, when August came
and we turned over our work to the
general rehabilitation conlQittee, the
managers of section Z. were given
clean bill and were shown to have rem
dered perfect accounting.
"Mr. Mccarthy probably realizes that
he is in bad position, but such criti-
cisms as this will not help him. 1t is
merely playing small politics"
Many Offer to Prove Speech
In spite of McCarthy's vigorous de-
NAL on the following evening. when
he declared in his meetings that he
had made no such statement to the
crowd in New club hall on Friday
night, many persons heard the accu-
sation and are ready to make affidavit
to that effect.

Counter Charges Mismanage-
ment and Extravaganza by
Governor
ISn.cinI Di,eoteh 10 The colIl

~ ACRAMENTO, Sept 24.-Secre-
Ntary of state Frank C. Jordan has
added another warm chapter to
: ~ the controversy between himself
and Governor Hiram w. Johnson by
issuing second open letter. in which
he severely criticizes many of the ofh-
ciaI acts of the executive.
Jordan declares that there have been
many cases of laxity and negligence
in the conduct of the governors Office.
and advises Johnson to show more care
in the submission of detailed bills for
his various expenditures.
Illegal Appointments Alleged
Among the instances cited by Jordan
are allegations that several appoint
ments have been made in an illegal
manner; that more than the legal num-
Der of notaries have been appointed
for San Francisco, and that certain rec
ords have not been kept straight He
also objects to bills for the furnishing
of the governors mansion. and the ira
yelling expense of caterers at the time
of the governors reception in March.
He suggests that the governor himself
should itemize his travelling and hotel
expenses, although he admits that a
statute exempts him from the necessity
of doing this.
More Charges May Follow
Jordan concludes with an intimation
that he has more guns and more am
munition, and will use them unless
Johnson ceases his personal and press
bureau efforts to discredit the secretary
of state and his office.
Jordan's letter reads:
Sacramento, Sept %. 1911.
Hon. Hiram W. johnson,
Governor of California
Sir-This in reply to your statement
in answer to my Letter of August &c. In
: that letter I demanded that I be treated

stead of meeting met in a square, fair,
honorable way, you on the public plat
form have continued to wrong. misrep-
resent and vilify me, asserting that "a
distinguished state printer. assisted by
an equally distinguished secretary of
state" had juggled with the constitu-
tional amendments.
You know that the state printer had
nothing to do with the submission of
the constitutional amendments. and you
know, and every fair minded man in
California knows. that I absolutely did
my duty and endeavored to promptly
and correctly place these amendments
before the people. and give the state
printer the word that would enable him
to start the presses. To my statement

the constitutional amendments-not one
of which you could or did refute-you
