Two Women Fighting Sweatshop System to
Help Save Bodies and Souls of Children

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 16.-Here are
two women. Catherine Hurley and
Fannie Sellins, who are making a
successful fight for better work
ing conditions for the women and
children in the sweat shops.
Bitter experience in a st. Louis
sweat shop where they worked IS
and IA hours a day drove them in
to the fight.
I'm those days - before we
formed the union that enforced
the nine-hour day, the shop was
open at 7:15; and if you weren't
there or time you didn't get in"
said Miss Sellins.
"Au the doors were locked at
z:15. Sometimes it made me sick
to think what would happen in that
big flimsy barracks if "a fire should
come.
1--WE had half an hour off at
noon to eat, an hour off between
5 and 6, and then the whole crowd,
children of 10 and II and old
women with the rest, worked un-
til 8. The kids made 81 or so a
week, and no m more than Sc.
Well, the union changed that.
But change the children's
wages? We were never able to
help those babies. There's a ter
rible system in st. Louis. They
politely call it the permit system
A child, NJ matter it's age, a go
to- the city hall and by merely
stating that it's wage is necessary
to help support the family can get
a permit.
The state of Missouri is all that
can help them. And the state
doesn't care"
