MAN GoRGED AND STARVED
Conscience Leads Thrifty Glutton to
Repent Old SwindIe In Letter to
Man SWndIed.

Beaver Falls, Pa.-Charles Weir
ling, restaurant proprietor OF tnls
place, who has been following this
line of business for years, received q
most extraordinary conscience letter
recently. 1t contained a Pittsburgh
draft for $22.O8. The letter, which
was unsigned, came from McKeesport
and tells it's own story:
Dear Mr.. Wierling-I worked in one
Of the factories In your city several
years ago and I boarded at your res
taurant for over some three months. l
used q meal ticket purchased from
you once each week. For . ticket
paid five dollars apiece, which made 1t
cost me twenty-four cents meal.
The tickets were good until all the
meals had been puched out, and after
q few days | came to the conclusion
that l could save myself money by
only eating two meals day and
making these two meals carry me all
day. and making my ticket last me
longer. so | eat breakfast enough to
keep me up to late dinner time. and
this saved me one meal day. But
where wronged you was this:
| stuffed myself full Of your good
grub at the two meals did eat to keep
me going over dinner time and to do
that I would always call for second
order and would put a lot Of your
crackers in my pocket when got on
the table. At the two meals ! did eat

was a wonder to me did not bust but
| saved one meal each day at your ex-
pense and was happy. | also thought
was working a great scheme and that
II could keep it up long enough
maybe come day would be Rookie
Teller CT Carnegie.
| finally lost my job and think 1t
was because I would eat so much for
breakfast | could not work all morn
ing, being SO stuffed, and in the after
noon | would be no good either, as all
would have in me by that time was
few crackers and things that left me
weak. The boss said | was no good
and gave me the gate
Now, after leaving Beaver Falls |
drfted around in Ohio and finally
came to McKeesport, where got a

as eat three square meals every day.
When Billy Sunday came to this city
I attended the meetings and finally
hit the sawdust trail and have been
living right ever since. But | never
could forget how bamboozled you
out OF twenty-four cents a day about
three months.
Finally | have come to the conclu-
sion that never would be real good
citizen until | would pay back the
money | had cheated you out Of, so
have figured 1t up as near as l can
what | owe you, and | inclose 1t to
you in this letter. God bless you, and

There is no record of the volun-

However, this was not the import

The important part was the handing

The report views with alarm" the
tendency to turn the searchlight on
wages paid working girls and on the
consequent living conditions of these
girls, and is certain that the policy of

indeed, already has resulted, in great
harm to the working girls.
The argument of the report is very
cloudy and hard to understand. But
it runs something like this:

on the intensity of her struggle to

assuredly she will plunge straight to
