Longstreet and Jackson reached the

in an almost unassailable position,
with heavy re-enforcements coming to
his aid. Lees intention was to force
a passage and make the attack before
Pope could concentrate. LonGstreet

New York. Aug. 28.-George W. Per

he says.
He says he wants to remedy all hui

the women toilers.
In the mills of the osborne Irvine
company No. 3, at Auburn, n. Y,
which is owned by the International
Harvester company, of which George
W. Perkins is a director and leading
light, an investigation on the part of
Senator Robert F. Wagner of the state
factory investigating committee dis
closes the most inhuman and brutal
treatment of women.
The investigation started about a
week ago, ard in these few days the
inconsistency of the third term candi.

been fully shown.
Women are made to toll all night

When she cuts her fingers she is

that If she and the other girls arrived
later than III the morning they are
not allowed to work until noontime.
AS they are paid by the piece this is
equivalent to docking their wage. The
knives used by the girls for cutting
Irvine must be bought by them, and il
one is stolen they must buy another.

And they work in dust laden rooms
from II TO IA hours a day.
Aug. II Roosevelt said:
Mr. Perkins is a rich man. He
came into my movement on his own
initiative. l have known him for IA
years and when he joined me l asked
him, Why are you supporting me?
''He said the primary reason was be
cause he had children. He had all the
money he wanted, he said, and had
come to the conclusion that this coun,
try won't be a good place to live in
when his children become the age we
are unless business and government
are brought into proper relations, I'm.
less the relations of capital and the
wage Garner are placed on a better
basis"
In his speech delivered on the same
day at Revere Beach, Mass, Roose
welt said:
81 wish an eight hour day for wo
men of industry, | wish safety appli
ances and l wish to secure healthful
conditions for the wagewOrkers."
George w. Perkins in his confes
sion of faith Aug. 20-and this date is
mpOrtant-said:
Money is not all in this life. The
mere accumulation of wealth will not
bring an honorable heritage to my
only SON Is there not something
more than the incentive to make
money which / can leave him."
Four days before these statements
we're made by Roosevelt and Perkins
the New York state factory investigat

there examined working girls and mar

dust is breathed continuously by the
women, many of whom complain of
chronic coughs and colds. The dust
and dirt are so thick upon the clothes
OF the girls that at the noon hour,
which in many cases consists of but
a few minutes, and at the close of
the days or nights labor. the girls
have to sweep each other clean with

William NJ. Greig. superintendent of
the harvester trusts Irvine mills, was
closely questioned by Mr.. Elkus. Mr..
Greig informed him that the mills EN-,
ployed about 400 women, of whom
200 worked all night. He was asked
who was responsible for the existing
conditions.
"All our regulations as to shifts and
general conditions come from the
home Office at Chicago" he replied.
"Who decides how long every EN-
Tloye is to work." asked Mr.. Elkus.
THAT is decided by one man, Mr.
Rice.
And under whose instructions does
he act?"
"Fe gets his orders from the board
of directors in Chicago"
