general that it viii go far toward

Sweat Shop in Parade.

features of the labor day parade
yesterday, and illustrated in a terri
bly, graphic manner the oftrepeated
Song of the Shirt"
1t was an enormous double float,
drawn by four horses. In the front
seat sat a happy, red-cheeked young
woman in a bright, airy room
cheerfully working On sewing ma
chine operated by electricity, the
modern method in most big facto-
ries. In the rear, separated by a
partition was another young women
about the same age, clothed in rags,
seated in a dull light, toiling over a
machine, while huddled around her
with scarcely room to move Or
breathe, were three or four children
as lily clothed and unhappy in ap-
pearance as herself. 1t attracted
more attention than any other feat
ure of the parade.

What it Costs to
Haul a Mail Clerk

Atlanta, Sept, 5-Local stasti-
clans with a fancy for the marve-
lous have figured out that if one
man travelled as far as all the rail-
way mail clerks in one year, ne
would 60 seven times further than
the distance of the earth to the sun.
The mail clerks are probably
the greatest travellers in the world
for they are practically on the 60
all the time, with longer hours than
many railroad employees.
During the year 1908 the sum
total of their travel amounted to
the equal of one mans riding 629,-
778,443 miles. Almost equally
surprising 10 the fact that although
hese clerks are employees of the
government, performing a govern
ment service, the railroads are paid
nothing for the transportation,
which at two cents a mile would
amount to more than $12000,0O0
per annum.
While the weight of these men
seems insignificant as individual,
yet in the aggregate their free
transportation equals that of more
than 100000 tons for one mile.
The railroads are now working
for a plan which will in some way
way compensate them at least by a
more just arrangement on the pay
for Transporting mails, for the heavy
expense they are to each year haul
ing Uncle Sans clerks.
