NO CLASH OVER ROGERS
Killing of Poacher Closed Incl
dent. Saw British.

London. Aug. 21-The death Of me el'-
phant poacher and Illicit ivory trader
James Ward Rogers, a native OF Way
land. AIIegan County. Mich. while being
nlrsued by Captain {. V. Fox. an officer
Of the British army in the Egyptian SER
vice. in Central Africa, is not likely to
result in international complications. The
British Foreign Office has not so far re-
ceived any communication from the
United States government, and the Incl
dent Is considered closed as far as Great
Britain and Belgium are concerned.
1t is stated at the Foreign Office to-day
that Rogers's companions. whose names
are Pierce and Lane. are British subjects
and not Americans.
Rogers's death occurred on Belgian ter
ritory, and when Captain Fox became
aware Of that fact he promptly sent q
report to the nearest Belgian fort and
apologized for his mistake
A Belgian force escorted Captain Fox
to the boundary and took charge OF the
prisoners. who included Pierce and Lane.
Officials OF the Foreign Office believe that
these were afterward released, but have
no official information to that effect. II
was Pierce who was given the tile of
doctor. although it APPEARS doubtful that
he IS q medical man. a hundred natives
were also taken prisoners and handed
over to the Belgians.
1t is reported that Rogers was wounded
by one of his own natives in the course OF
a skirmish with Captain Fox's advance
scouts Captain Fox removed the bullet
from the wound and nursed Rogers for
four DAYS until his death.

What Senator Wagner Said.


Pressed for an explanation OF the
conditions I'm the Harvester company 8
plant. as revealed by the inquiry OF
his commission. Senator Wagner said;
conditions I'm this plant were called
10 the attention of the commission by
the report OF an inspection made ny
DR.. George NJ. Price, who is the com p
missions director Of Investigations
which disclosed conditions that are al
most beyond belief and which made 1t
desirable for members Of the commis-
sion to see for themselves just how the
women in this plant have to work.
THE establishment was inspected by
the commission and number or the
women employed were questioned sep
aratelv. In the course OF the lnspec-
tion several Of the women were seen
pulling piles Of hemp. weighing loo
mounds each. across the floor These
piles. in many instances, were higher
than the women themselves.
I'm the spinning room the clatter or
machinery was so frighful that
voice could hardly be heard below
shrek The appearance OF the women
workers was very disheartening; they
were wan looking and pale and their
clothes. faces and hands were covered
with oil and hemp dust.
NO attempt whatever was made to
remove the dust by any system OF
exhaust. but it is breathed continually
by the workers. some OF whom testi-
fed that they had frequently suffered
from sore threats. colds, etc The dirt
and dust were so thick upon the
clothes OF the working girls that at
noon. when they went to luncheon,
and at p. m. when they left the
factory. they had to sweep one an
other or with brooms.
Girl Who Worked Terrible Hard"
The women there received salaries
as low az 81 a week out Of which their
board and living expenses had 10 be
paid. | recall especially one girl whose
face was ashen white. and who looked
as though she was scarcely able TO do
any kind OF work. who testified before
the commission that II she worked
terrible hard she could make s.
week. and she looked as II she had to
work terribly hard 10 earn that sum.
In most OF the processes the women
ara obliged To stand all day long. and
no seats are supplied.
Most OF these women are piece
workers. and In their struggle 10 In
crease their meagre earnings are
obliged 10 work to the utmost OF their
physical capacity, and do not take time
from their work To rest. Practically
all Of these women complain OF various
Ills
"A number of the women questioned
said they began work at about $50
every morning. lunched from l. to
1870. and then worked up to o'clock
at night. on Saturdays they worked
until , o'clock. making IA total of sixty
four and a half hours a week. accord
Ing TO their testimony. This is. OF
course. In direct violation OF the labor
law. The luncheon period provided by
the labor law was also entirely dlsre-
garded.

Worst Feature Night Work.

I'm this factory the commission also
found what IL undoubtedly the worst
feature with the connection Of women
in industry. and that Is night work.
There are more women than men on
the night shift. and most of the night
workers are married. our inspector
mentioned the case of one woman spin
ner who has three children, aged three,
four and seven years. Her husband
works in the factory In the day, and
she at night.
"She says she cannot work during the
day. because she must look after her
children at home, and steal few
hours sleep in the morning. while her
neighbor looks after the children.
The manager of tho factory testi-
fed that he had received orders from
the home office OF the International
Harvester Company TO engage In this
night work, so that orders for twine
could be filed. and that night work
was now being carried on In all OF the
branches of the International Har-
vester Company"
