HEARING ON
POLISHERS and
BUFFERS BILL
Would Eliminate Women and
Children From the Occupation
Manufacturers and Social Ser
vice Workers Clash

The attention of the labor commit
tee yesterday was occupied with a
bill which eliminated women and
children under Is years of age from
working at metal polishing, buffing,
grinding and the like. This line of
work was called extra hazardous by
those in support of the measure.
Commissioner of Labor Statistics
p H ConneI1ey told of the conditions
which he had found on tours of in
spection. He discovered many wo<
men working at grinding, buffing and
glazing, in one instance a woman
operating four wheels. What drops
from these wheels he said will in four
weeks wear out a pair of shoes and
he asked what can be the effect of
breathing such material into the
lungs. He thought that a quarter of
the people working at such occupa-
tons were women He said if a man
had a pair of lungs made of croco-
die hide he could not stand the dust
in many of the buffing and polishing
rooms.
T. NJ. Daily, of Cincinnati, president
of the National Po1ishers' Associa-
ton, told of his experiences with
working as po1isher and said that
three life insurance companies had re-
formaiity of a physical examination,
as soon as he mentioned what line of
work he was engaged in.
Ralph O. Wells took up the opposi-
ton and asked if there could be one
woman pointed to who had contract
ed tuberculosis as a result of such
occupations. This aroused Professor
Fisher and he retorted by asking Mr..
Wells if he would withdraw his OPP
position to the bill if the names of
fifty women who had contracted tub
ercu1osis could be furnished to him
within ten days, and the reply was.
yes

ing with Conley. Holloway replied
that Conley had not been in the
factory that day, no one knowing at
the time that the negro had hidden
himself in the boxes to the right Of
the stairway on the first floor.
The shock Of the tragedy had not
yet worn of, and all was confusion in
the building Because no one sus-
pected that Conley had been in the
factory on the Saturday OF the crime,
a fact which Conley later admitted
when under the third degree Of the
detectives, little attention was paid TO
Mincey's story at the time
Says Police Wouldn't Listen.
He states that he went TO the po-
lice station and was told that they
did not want his story. He saw Con-
ley and identified him as the negro
with whom he talked on the after
noon that Mary Phagan was murder
ed.
When Conley himself broke down
and admitted that he had been hiding
on the first floor Mincey's sensation
al story took on the highest signifi-
canoe. He returned to the factory and
repeated the details of his former
statement An interview was ar
ranged with a lawyer acquaintance
not connected with the case in any
way. This attorney heard his story
and took him to Attorney Rosser
where the statement was taken in
sworn form.
we do not want your statement
unless you can swear to the truth Of
every word Of it, he was told. He
then dictated the affidavit which is
now in possession Of the defense.
MinCey was a solicitor for the
American Insurance Company until
about two weeks ago. He left this firm
TO teach school He is said TO be en-
ployed in Chattanooga, but will re-
turn to testify at the trial Of Leo
Frank July 2s. He lived at 1913 Davis
Street until last October and then
moved to another part of the city.
Defense Has Faith in II.
Uncovering for the nrst time the
bulwark OF defense which Franks
LAWYERS have built up around him, as
well as containing the frst report OF
a confession from Conley, the ami

its place as the most important docu-
ment or piece OF evidence that has en-
tered into the case.
