They eat apples all day long and

"One medical man recently told me

that the workers swallowed quantities

lsprDSy and Bubunic Germs Lurk
in Hair Factories.
Many Children and Young Girls EH-
posed, Says Or. Charles Graham
Rogers, state Medical Exam-
liner of state Of New York.

New York.-That danger OF leprosy
-nnd bubonic plague turks in rats
and "puffs" and that there are many
children and young girls in this city
and state who work In factories I'M
der conditions almost certain TO
cause painful and even fatal diseases
were assertions made by DR.. Charles
Rogers, medical examiner OF the state
department Of labor, at the continual
ton of the hearing Of the factory in
vestigation commission.
In the course Of hts examination by
Abram l. Elkus. counsel for the COM
mission, DR.. Rogers was asked about
factories in which white phosphorous
matches are made.
There are two OF these factories
IN this state" he answered. "One Is
In Brooklyn and the other is In Os'
wego , Beyond question there are the
most dangerous factories in the state.
There is very great danger to en-
ployes who handle the matches and
work over the PHOSPHORUS paste. The
chief menace is a rotting away OF the
bones, particularly the jaw bone. due
to the action of the white phosphor'
Gus.
Many women and children work IN
these two factories and in my opinion
their employment should be prohibit
ed. Although our present law says
that children may do nothing In such
places but pack the boxes, am quite
sure that they sort the matches. This
exposes them to as much danger as
threatens the grown men,"
Children, he said, should not be al
lowed to work in calico print works.
IN pearl button factories, in gas man.
tie works, in potteries or In chemical
factories OF any sort. In one pearl
button factory on Long Island. he
testified, he found 100 boys and girls
under the age Of 16.
Every worker that ] examined In
this place l found to be suffering with
laryngitIs or bronchitis" he said.
