She went to The Fair. first. The
manager of a department there form
erly worked at Siegel, Cooper & Co.
When he left to go to The Fair he
told Miss x. that if ever she left
Siegel, Cooper & Co.'s to come to
him and he would give her job.
The girl went to this man and
asked for the promised job.
'Pm sorry" he said, "but l can't
give you job here"
why not?" asked the girl.
81 can't explain" said the depart
ment manager, "but it's quite impos-
sible."
The girl went to every store on
State street, and although most of
them were advertising for sales
women she was refused a job in each
and every one.
If that is not circumstantial proof
of the determination of the depart
ment store owners union to break
up the employees union, and of the
existence of blacklist to that end,
we pass.
To return to Siegel, Cooper & Co.
and its curious ways.
Siegel, Cooper & Co. enjoy the ser
vices of 500 girls whom the store
management is pleased to designate
as mot regular" employees.
These girls work three or four days
every week and. are paid by the day
instead of the week. They are not
paid much by the day, of course, but
that is merely by the way.
The interesting point about these
girls who are mot regular" employees
is that they all are forced to join the
stores benefit association.
Siegel, Cooper & Co. call this as
ISOLATION "the employees benefit as

ployes. The only thing the employees
have to do with it is to keep it up,

But if they become sick and actual

Another interesting department of
Siegel, Cooper & Co.'s is the coun-

pen points sell two for cent. And
the saleswomen have to sell $19.49
worth of pen points at two pen points
for cent every day to get 81 a week.

For oae thing, it ventilates the

Just Thirty Minutes


During the week spent by Robert
Clinton in search of Fran's life-secret.
a consciousness of his absence and its
cause was like a hot iron branding
Gregory's brain. What a hooking fa-
tally. that it should have been Grace
to send Robert on his terrible GRAND
an errand which must result In ruin!
Mrs. Gregory would be piticd when
1t became known how she had been de-
ceived; Fran would be pitied because
she was disowned daughter; Grace
would be pitied for trusting in the tn
tegrity OF her employer-but Gregory.
who OF all men needed pity most,
would be utterly despised. He did not
think of himself alone, but of his works
of charity-they. too, would fall. in his
disgrace, and Walnut Street church
even religion itself-would be dis
credited because of an exposure that
could avail nothing.
Gregory had been too long proclaim
ing the living God not to feel Him as
a Presence, and in this Presence he
felt shuddering fear that could sug-
gest no relief but Precipitation He as
we'll as Abbott Ashton had kept him
self informed OF Roberts movements
