Pin Sticks in Mouth
OF a Pudding Judge

MONTCLAIR, y. j.. Jan. I7-John A.
Hines. Harry n. Reeves and Kirk
Brown, members of the Montclair Club,
resolved today they'll never take an
other chance and judge a cooking con-
test when wives of their felIow-msm-
hers figure as the culinary artists. The
Three are congratulating themselves
they are alive.
The club has been in turmoil for sew
eral weeks as a result of the disputed
ability Of some of the members wives
TO cook rice pudding. The old proverb
eating temporarily appeased the hus-
bands of the women and the contest
was agreed on.
Hines was half through his when he
choked, coughed, got q slap on the
back and took large, rusty pin from
his mouth

Prey to White Slavers.
Gertrude Barnum. daughter of Judge
Barnum. Of Chicago. is another active
leader in the cause of the striking gar
ment workers. Discussing the issues at
stake, she said:
lone of the worst phases of the life Of
these girls is in the fact that so many
of them earn such miserable wages that
they fall easy prey to the agents Of the
white slave traffic. These agents, or
cadets, know the situation well They
know the girls get an average wage Of
S. a week, many of them setting 50, and
some getting $40. which strikes an aver
age Of about S. Most OF these girls
have only been in this country q short
while. They are entirely depehoent
on what they can earn.
Many Succumb to Temptation.
mo girl can feed and clothe herself
decently on s.. The white slave agents
know it. and they play upon the girls
natural desire to have nice clothes and
an easier time. Many of them succumb
to the temptation. and they cannot be
blamed. 1t is the fault Of the sweat
shop system and the starvation wages
paid by even the manufacturers who
run, apparently well-arranged factories.
"In almost all the shops the fifty-four-
hour-a-week law is openly violated.
mainly because the average foreign girl
working In these places is so ignorant
of conditions here that she doesn't know
such a law exists Only when the strike
was declared did most OF the foreign
workers learn there was a law pro-
tecting them against working the long
hours they had been forced to stay At
their machine The manufacturers
simply take advantage of the girls
ignorance to exploit them"

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-'This is a
struggle mainly to abolish the sweat
shop system, where human beings are
literally sweated like slaves said jose
phine Casey, the strike organizer. who
lie In charge of the shirt waist workers
department of the great garment work
ers strike.
Our q, ariel is not with those manu-
facturers who have complied with
the fire safety and sanitary laws and
who pay fair, wages to their workers
and in other ways treat them with
some consideration We are sorry that
these better class employers should
have to suffer with their fellows
through this strike. But there are not
many Of these. The great majority of
the workers labor day and night in
horrible lofts, dark, unventilated and
pregnant with disease. I have even
been told by our girls of many places
where both sexes have to make use of
the same wash room.
Not Enough Inspectors.
The terrible lesson taught by the
Triangle. fire has not brought about
much better conditions. 1 don't blame
the factory inspectors.
There are not enough of them to go
around, and they simply can't be pres
ent to see the violations of the fire and
other safety laws occurring all the
time.
For instance, ] was standing in front
Of factory a few days ago waiting to
speak to a couple of girls I knew. when
the proprietor of the place saw me and
rushed to all the main exists and closed
the doors. He then told the girls they
would have to use a back staircase
One of the girls told him he was vio-
lating the law by closing the main
doors, but he refused to open them,
and when the girls came out they had
to use the narrow stairway.
Pay Starvation Wages.
The workers employed by the manu-
facturers against whom especially this
strike has been brought pay starvation
wages. More than half of all the gar
ment workers now on strike get wages
that barely cover their living expenses,

MYSTERY IN DEATH OF A
S|XTEEN-Y EAR-OLD GIRL
Theory Of Suicide is Secuted. Brother
and Sister Held by the Jury.

The home of Silas Grove, at lonely
spot on Savage mountain in Garrett
county, about five miles from Lonacon-
ing, was the scene OF a mysterious
shooting that is battling the efforts of
the coroner's jury endeavoring 10 place
the blame for the death of Mr.. Groves
daughter, Bessie, aged l6 years.
Tuesday afternoon about three O'Clock
the elder members of the Grove family
went away from home to return when
summoned by neighbors to find the life
less body of the child who had come to
her death from the effects of gunshot
wound in the back Of her head. The
charged had entered just back of her
left ear, tearing the back of her head off.
There We're no eye witnesses to the
shooting, and the story told by brother
and a sister of the dead girl is doubted
by the jury on the case. The brother,
who is several wears older than the dead
girl, and a sister several years Younger,
state that they were on the outside of
the house and upon hearing a shot ran
in to find their sister with the gun in
her hand lying on the floor. This story
was at once disqualified by the jury
impaneled by Justice of the Peace
George Brown, acting coroner, when
they had examined the body of the dead
girl and failed to find any burns or
powder marks.
No solution of the mystery had been
reached The brother and sister are
both being held as witnesses.
