US place our trust in Mr.. Carnegie and

Phone GIRLS WORK MADE
HARD BY IMPATIENT PATRONS

seed and I have been in two of the
big department stores; once was in
real estate Office for nearly a week, but
this job is about the fiercest / ever
tackled" said a telephone girl at local
hotel last night.
THE average man when he pays for
his telephone call seems to think the
phone girl ought to accept an invitation
to dinner. But that't nothing to what
comes over the wires, and all this soft
stun is bad enough at close range, too.
Take 1t from me!
When a man hasn't got anybody else
to fight with he fights with the tele-
phone girl. Women. OF course, don't
wait till other material gives out. They
fight with the operator, no matter what
happens
"Why so pessimisticc" asked re-
porter, who had been trying to get the
Office for fifteen minutes.
Il don't know what you mean by that,
but if you had to listen to the scolding

What was the trouble?'
"Well, this man has been on my board
for about three months. I think he Just
came over from the other side. He talks
like It. Half the time he gives his num-
Der in some South African language and
wants one of the Central American lega-
tions, and have to ask him over again.
A while ago he got sassy. SO l handed
him over to the chief. The chief wrestled
with him for half an hour before he
could finally understand his Eibberish.
And then what do you think that guy
wanted? He wanted to have a new girl
put on this board. Said 1 couldn't talk
English.
'Of course. he was an exception. But
just the same there are a lot OF people

her braid with emphasis. Then she went

ny ANNA ROCHESTER,,

Special Agent Of the National Child Labor Com
mittcc.
The ninth annual child labor con-
ference is over and the delegates have
scattered to the thirty-one States from
which they came, taking with them new
courage and hope for their fight against
child labor.
The darkest sides of the present stu
alton we're set forth; the moral haz-
ards of night messenger service; the
low wages of adults in Southern cot
ton mills, whers more young children
are working a long ten Or eleven hour
day than in any other industry: the
physical dangers OF work in glass fac
tories, still permitted to boys under six
teen years old in Pennsylvania and West
Virginia; the interstate commerce in lit
tie children between the canneries and
berry fields of the Middle States and the
shrimp and oyster canneries of the
South: the horrors of tenement home
work in New York and other large cities,
and the mockery of good child labor laws
written on statute books with no suffi-
cient provision for enforcement.
And yet there must have been i'm
mense announcement in the tone of the
conference. in the first place, more
States were represented than ever be-
fore: thirty-one in all, including distant
Iowa and Texas and all OF the Southern
States east of the Mississippi. DIR. Nc
Kelway. Southern secretary of the Ma
tional Child Labor Committee. at one of
the sessions, spoke of the changed at
titude of the Southern delegates. no
longer little inclined to be on the de-
fensive, but even outdoing him in I'M
sparng criticism of their own State con-
ditions.
People were, in fact. so busy think
ing out the difficulties of local situ-
ations which they would have to face,
that no time nor cloquence were wasted
on evils in remote sections except as
points under discussion.
Statistics Are Given.
The subject Of the conference was
"Child Labor and Poverty. All through
the papers and spontaneous discussions
the speakers put far more emphasis on
child labor as the cause of poverty than
on the older idea of poverty as the cause
of child labor. Statistics were given from
such widely scattered cities as New
York, Little Rock, New Orleans, and
Columbus Ca, to show that the wild
owed mother whose sole support is a
wage-earner of tender years exists large
1y IN the imagination of the men who
find it profitable to employ the child.

eloquence, this profound student Of his

the vision OF what education and citizen
ship might mean to their children.
But Florence Kelly made a convincing
plea that industry should be compelled
to pay its way and bear the burden OF
the disabled worker, of the woman wild
owed by industrial accident, and of the
workers who do not now receive from
industry a wage that will support their
families. Right hero the thread of argu-
ment was taken up by the conference,
and many speakers dwelt on the lower
ing of adult wages by the employment Of
children.
The Alabama child labor committee
called on the national child labor COM
mittce to send a speaker throughout the
State 10 make the people Of Alabama
know about the little children in the fish
canneries, and the boys coming in con-
tact with vice in the work as night mes
sengers, but as Mr.. Lovejoy explained,
the committee faces in every State a
situation demanding an expert worker.
and with its present resources there are
not enough expert workers to so
around.
Resolution Passed.
The following resolution was passed
with unanimous enthusiasm:
Resolved, That the National Child
Labor Committee in convention as
sembled at Jacksonville, Fla, March Is
1919, recognizes that upon 1t has been
laid the chief responsibility for bringing
about the abolition of child labor in the
United States, fully appreciates the mag
nitude of its task and deplores the fact
that through the meagerness Of its re-
sources thousands of American children.
many yet unborn. will never secure the
protection of child labor laws unless
there is a greater awakening of interest
throughout the nation in the cause of
child labor reform.
That We therefore appeal. not only to
the citizenship OF the nation to increase
the resources at our command and thus
our opportunities for service. but also to
all other national organizations which
stand for the welfare of society in the
respective spheres OF education. health,
industry and social service for their CO.
operation.
THAT this committee asks especially
that there be supplied for the promotion
of child labor reform not only the active
sympathy of these organizations, but that
special Investigations of child labor con-
ditions be conducted from the different
points of view which these organizations
have taken in their respective spheres of
work, and We mention among them.

They Make Mistakes.

Then, there is another belief. They
think that when they ask for the chief
or the manager. We don't give them
the one they want. but another oper-
ator. That's another mistake. We
couldn't do that. because there is a su-
pervisor around all the time, and if a
girl would pretend to be the chief and
explain TO a subscriber the supervisor
would be sure to hear her and call on
her for an explanation. We don't mind
giving them the chief when they want
her. They don't fire us just because we
happen to make a mistake one time, or
because a short-tempered subscriber
makes a mistake. They don't know
and they don't call us down without
hearing our side.
And then there's always the moni-
tor. You can never tell when the moni-
tor is on your head. She car come in
on any line whenever she wants and
listen to the whole conversation. That's
what she's paid for. Naturally. We don't
think much of the monitors. They don't
associate with the rest OF the girls.
That's against the rules. They're off in
little room to themselves, and We
hardly ever see them, not even at lunch
time. The company is afraid they'll get
chummy with some of the girls and not
watch them as carefully as they might.
But they're on the job all the time, ard
we're mighty careful. You can bet. It's
no joke to loss your job for talking
sassy over the line.
