recommend that the commissioner of
labor investigate them"
The report details at length condi-
lions in number of the Atlanta fac
tories visited by committee members
and the deplorable conditions are set
forth for the perusal Of the Federation
of Trades in vivid terms. In discussing
conditions at one factory where the
maximum wage paid is S125, the report
said:
The informants also state that girls
and women have been forced to work
overtime working nights without extra
allowance. Some time ago a force of
girls and women were compelled to
leave this company on account of being
| imposed upon. General labor condi-
tons at this factory are most deplor-
able. There has been complaint among
some women, former employees, of be
ing forced to work with negroes.
AT another factory the piecework
system prevails and informants state
that conditions under which women are
forced TO work are Of the sweatshop
character. The following prices are
paid: For sewing back pockets and
sundry stitching, s1.25 per 100 pairs Of
overalls; for trimming 100 pairs of
overalls. which is considered tedious
and combining labor. SO cents"

The average wage paid to women in
this factory is from six to eight cents
an hour
At one place the employees speak

is ftte completely for every emergency.
At another factory whore sanitary
conditions ave said to be hopeless. girls
complained to the Investigators that

negro employees. The report contin-
ued;
'Informants state that the prevailing
wage paid to iris in certain stores is So

the girls on account of being detained
in the stores late on Saturday nights.
Girls were found in one of these stores

Court met this week but did not act
On the incorporation Of our town mat
ter. Ia fact the pusners don't seem
to be in any hurry TO push It as the
older 1t gets, the more the people
know, and the Righteousness Of the
proposition becomes more evident
People have looked back on the tax
Oils ana find both Hays and Ellis pay
ing city tax. and know that when We
Incorporated we must also pay g city
taxa marshal, street commissioners,
city clerk and lots OF other expenses.
The county attorney says he il not be-
ing paid to fight the people-to put
more taxes on the people. Maybe he
is to be paid for preparing the oTdi-
nances, for some one must do it and IT
costs money Then the NEWS and its
friends here; are they working for an
cad in view. Some paper must pub
lish the ordinances and HAYS has the
nearest paper. And then the station
cry and blanks, These things all cost
money and are the people to pay it to
them-that is the few put INSIDE
the corp ton?
If the incorporators were fair why
don't they get every property owner
inside two parallel lines to ask for In
corporation, let all pay for the claimed
benefits, not leave out here and there
pet ones who know there is extra tax
es to be paid. Look at the ridiculous
ness of the present situation. Half
the land inside the limits are left out,
then when Incorporated the gambling
bells can locate on the lots not in, and
the marshal can 'sIook wise" Then
when the boys want to do some devil
meDt thew on IN fhAaa aZemnfed
Iands, just across the line, and the
they locate across the line on the ex-
empt land and our wives can howl
themselves hoarse the marshal is help
less. A show comes, locates on the ex-
empt lands and reap the benefit Of
our town but pay nothing to help sup
port our city government.
Every single supposed advantage TO
city are in the exempt list, except
the few who saw q bonanza from the
incorporation for the Innocent taxpayer
to pay. Surely when these taxpayers
found how they had been deceived into
signing, that they changed their mind
and signed the remonstrance. Their
eyes had opened. Calling names, or
talking of fables, or eating bone-soup
don't help. If the pushers doubt they
are on the wrong side let them get up
a new petition and see how many will
now sign that they have got their eyes
open. Let them present q new petit
tion to the taxpayers within the crock
ed zone, and see If a majority will ask
that the incorporation stand, If they
are in the right let them Try it before
the case is heard in court.
