and half, and sometimes two and
half cents a message, often for very
hard and long trips. Many times,
they complain, by a system of Jug
Cling, they are cheated out of it, or
lose it through the imposition of a
fine. In this way the more sturdy
boys are able to earn dollar day,
but the majority of the boys earn only
$3.50 and 81 week.
And out of this meager sum they
have to buy shoes that are worn out
rapidly in the course of their work.
Another thing that the boys pro-
test against is the charge for clean
ing and pressing the uniforms. The
boys used to buy their own uniforms
from the companies, but it was found
that more money could be squeezed
out of the boys by giving them the
uniforms and then charging them for
a service, that in a great many in
stances is not performed at all.
The most ridiculous thing, if it
were not such a serious matter to the
mderpaid boys, is the charge for this.
The Western Union takes 81 cents
every two weeks out of their pay for
this and the Postal takes 81 every
month.
They say this is for the benefit Of
the service, as the boys must look
neat and clean. The mothers have
no chance to do this work and retain
the money.
Messenger boys are fined from 1
to 5 cents for being few minutes
late, although they get paid by the
message.
One boy, employed by the Western
Union, recently worked three weeks
and received no pay. His mother
called at the Office and was told that
he was entitled to no pay because
his fines amounted to what would
have been due him:

For, with the encouragement of
Mrs. Fred Packard, president of the

Everybody is working for better

Mrs. Packard, but none seems to

They have been organized into sort

they will then show the telegraph

such conditions. There are 1900
messenger boys in Chicago and they
must be taken into consideration.
