IN BIG PLANT IS CHARGE,
Richard Knight, inspector of pri-
vate employment agencies, has
struck some evil conditions since he
first took Office.
But the evil which existed in the
great chair-making industry operated
by the Haywood Brothers & Wake
field is one of the darkest he has yet
uncovered.
In their big plant at 1858 Arthing-
ton street small army of girls and
women toll on rattan chairs. 1t is
very hard work. 1t is of the kind that
wrecks health. For doing this work
they are paid 81 a day.
These girls are hired and fired by
IGustave Searick, the superintendent.
Searick caught some of Big Business
ideas on grinding money from factory
girls.
Searick gazed upon the long line of
girl workers. Then, it is charged, he
found way of making money from
them.
According to Knights charges,
Searick began conducting little
employment office all his own and
charged the girls for their jobs.
He is now up before the law on the
specific charge of operating an en-
ployment agency without a license.
But the story behind the charge is
much more interesting than the legal
sounding charge.
One of Searick's workers was Mrs.
Mary Gavreases. The woman found
it necessary and she secured job
in the Haywood mill at the usual
dollar day" wage.
She worked as fast as her tired
arms would allow. To her the Sc a
week meant a home. But Nov. 10,
1913, Searick came to her and told
her she wasn't needed any more.
Then began long search for an
other job. She didn't succeed in get
ting one. Then one day she appealed

That influence is seen in MANY

Sweet flowers bloom in the soft

And under the ferns fair and un-

Lie little heads like spools Of

And angels are keeping watch

not that he loved Cmballa; rather that
he owed Umballa a debt and resolved to

majordomo betook himself to Umballa's

who had never been close to Cmballa
