Women Work at Night to Finance
Roosevelt Campaign.
AWFUL FACTORY CONDITIONS
New York State investigating Commit
tee Found Pale, Worn Women Work
ing In TWIne Manufacturing Con-
Germ Owned by the International
Harvester Company.

Awful conditions have been found
by the state factory Investigating COM
mittee of New York in the mills of the
Osborne Twine company No. 3, at Au-
burn, N. Y, owned by the Interna-
tional Harvester company, of which
George w. Perkins, chief financial
hacker of Theodore Roosevelt in his
scheme to ruin the Republican party,
is a director.
"The appearance of the women
workers in this plant" said a member
of the committee, twas very dis
heartening. They were worn and
pale and their clothes, faces and
hands were covered with oil and hemp
cloth. Many of these women, so called,
are only children In age and they have
to lug huge piles of hemp, weighing
$50 pounds each across the floor, the
load in some cases being bigger than
the women themselves. In the spin
ming room, where women are employ
ed alone, to the exclusion of men, who
would have to receive higher wages
the clatter of machinery is so fright
be heard. The rooms are dark, though
for no necessary cause, and no at
tempt is made to remove the dust
which is kept in constant motion by
the line shaftings despite the require
ments of the law. This 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 few
minutes-and at the close of the days
or nights labor, the girls have tc
sweep each other clean with brooms.'
1t is further stated that the custom
of working the women all night is
permanent, married women being Sc
lected for night work, their hours be
ing from sundown until $50 O'Clock
In the morning OF 400 women EN-
ployed in the mills. 200 work all night
When George w. Perkins was asked
by New York Times reporter for an
explanation of the conditions in ar
establishment of which he is one oil
LllS uiTtClOIS, Hc IlduS, Pdllp tuS
following remarkable reply: This
night work has been rendered neces
sary largely because of the govern
ments perfectly unreasonable attitude
toward large corporations, which has
made it impossible for managers oi
large concerns to know whether they
were on foot or horseback, whether
they could expand their plans to KEEP
up with increasing demands or not
The late Mark Twain in his bright
est moments never uttered anything
more grimly humorous than the fore
going explanation by George w. Per
kins of why the company of which he
is a director is working women all
night under the frightful conditions
disclosed by the New York state fac
tory investigating committee.
Meantime it ought to be OF interest
to millions of Republicans throughout
the United States to know where the
money comes from to finance Theo
dore Roosevelt in his campaign OF
rule or ruin"

her most intimate friends were told
that she was leaving her desk in the
Prudential to prepare for her mar
riage to Mr.. S%utphen.
For some time Mr.. Sutphen was
clerk under Frank Francisco, who
married Miss Elsie ST. John. Mr..
Francisco died about three years ago.
Mr.. Sutphen, who is about 30 years
of age, was also married before. His
wife died four years ago, leaving a
baby boy. who is living with his
father.
Mr.. Sutphen.left his office last FRI
day afternoon, bidding good-by to his
friends and saying that he was going
on his vacation. No intimation was
given by him that the next day he
would be married. Although he has
spent much of his time on the Pa
cihc coast in the interest of the Pru-
Dental Company he has maintained
his residence at Plainfeld.
Friends mutually acquainted with
Mr.. and Mrs. Sutphen say they have
not been told where the bride and
groom have gone for their honey
moon, or what their plans for the
future will be.
