Protest Against Being Paid Only
Halt Of Previous Wages.
Women Receive s9.i2 Per Week,
Where Men Have Received SIT.

Boston, Aug. 29.-The alleged en-
ployment of women to do work
formerly done by men. at about one
half wages paid the latter, was a
subject of inquiry, today, at the public
arbitration proceedings in the contro
versy between the Boston Elevated
Railway and its employees. Mrs. Mary
Ferguson, collector at one of the
company's elevated stations, whose
testimony developed this point. de-
clared that she and other women en-
ployes could not support themselves on
the wages they received.
Mrs Ferguson said she now receives
1912 a week as wages for nine and
one half hours work a day and that
men formerly were paid ST a week
for the same labor. Asked whether
she had ever been able to save any
money, Mrs. Ferguson replied
IF it was not for the assistance /

The wages of the girls and women,
who are now employed as collectors
almost exclusively, are figured, the
witness said on basis of 13 cents
an hour for the first six months, II
cents for the next six months. 10 cents
after they have worked a year, and
16 cents at the end of five years. At
ter they have been there 10 years they
receive a further additional cent an
hour, Mrs. Ferguson said.
She added that her 9i2 hours of
work each day, is extended over 14h
hours, of which some time is passed
in counting cash and making reports,
for which she receives no wages.
Discussing working conditions, Mrs.
Ferguson said that the women and
girl collectors are forced to submit To
countless insults from men and
women.

Hon. B. Deasey Effectually
Disposes of Pats Statement
About W0rkmen's Compensation.

Gratis vote in the last Legislature had
been enacted. Mr.. Peters was one OF
the most earnest supporters of TINS
workmen's compensation. Mr.. Deasey
said:
| favor the election of Mr.. Peters for
several reasons. One reason, perhaps.
not the chief, but a reason that appeals
strongly to me, is his friendliness to-
ward the principle of workmen's com
pensation and the assistance which he
rendered to the workmen's compensa-
ton bill which was introduced into
the last Legislature. I am opposed to
the election of Mr.. Pattangall among
other reasons, because of his evident
hostility to the principle and to the bill.
In the Legislature. last winter. a
bill was introduced providing moderate
compensation for all workmen, includ-
ing women and children, injured in
the performance of their duty and the
dependants of those accidentally killed,
who, under existing law receive no
compensation and have no remedy, As
to those who have under existing laws
4 remedy it gave them their option
either TO retain their present right to
sue fer damages or take compensation
under the act.
Notwithstanding that this act pro-
vided compensation for very large
class, including more than three
fourths Of all persons. injured who can
recover nothing under existing law;
Notwithstanding that it did not take
away the rights or remedies of any in
jured workman who, under the present
law, have a remedy; Notwithstanding
that it helped many without injuring
any; Notwithstanding that it's compen-
sation features and all its features met
with tie approval of every representa-
tive of labor who appeared before the
