Reads fearful Complaint.

Mr.. Nolan read long statement from
an employe of Mr.. kram. the entire let
ter being very fearful complaint against
conditions which were pictured as being
almost of a sweatshop variety.
Mr.. Nolan continued: Il want to call
your attention to this fact: The govern
ment has effected a saving in the Post
Office Department by these tabulating
machines, in tabulating money orders and
vouchers. In addition to that the man
who has charge of this system admits
that it is breaking down the health of
these women. The strain is something
fierce. ] think this government ought
to be broad enough and big enough to
treat its woman employees decently."
Mr.. Nolan also stated that Mr.. kram
was not figuring the leaves of absence
of his employees correctly and that they
suffered thereby. He also said that the
average money earned by the employees
in Mr.. kram's office is $SSs. instead of
s9S5. which, he said. Mr.. Kram had pre-
Sented as an average.

Has Received No Complaint.

Representative Fitzgerald. chairman of
the appropriations committee, said he had
never heard of any of these complaints,
and that the piecework system and the
tabulating machinery had been installed
for efficiency and not to save money. He
also said that if there is real founda-
ton for the complaints that his commit
tee probably would favor a different
method.
Chairman Garner of the committee on
the whole thereupon ruled out of order
the paragraph which provides for piece
work in the office of the auditor for the
Interior Department and which provides
an extension of the piece work basis Au-
ditor Kram's salary was then cut out by
a point of order from Representative
Fowler on the ground that the law fixed
it at $4,000
When the specific item for pecework
in the postal service was reached Mr.
Nolan made another attack and offered
an amendment to the bill which would
do away with piecework i'll Mr.. kram $

Representative Lewis of Maryland
chairman of the labor committee of the
I House, said he could not agree with MT
Nolan.

Objects to Piece-Rate Basis.

Representative Nolan made point of
order against the paragraph which pro-
vides for work done on piece-rate
basis in the office of the auditor for the
Interior Department. and Representative
Bryan of Washington made more sweep
ing point of order which would knock
out all new legislation providing for piece
work in the legislative bill Representa-
tive johnson of South Carolina told the
committee on the whole that in the office
of the auditor for the Post Office Depart
ment out of 115 people engaged in work
ing machines on a piece-rate basis all
but eleven We're making more money than
they did while on salary
Did the gentlemen consult the rolls to
see that a great number of those who
were formerly On the rolls had been sent
to the graveyard or eliminated from the
service on account of these machines?
Representative Nolan said he had re-
ceived complaints from the office of the
auditor of the Post Office Department He
said:
There is no objection to the operation
of those electrical machines. 1t is the
system under which they are operated to
which I object and the way that the
women who are defenseless in this in
stance are treated by the auditor for the
Post Office Department in this pieceWork
system.

PIECEWORK BASIS
FOR SEVERE ATTACK
Methods in Office of Auditor

Scored in House.
TABULATING MACHINES
GROUND FOR COMPLAINT
Representatives Bryan and Nolan
Lead in Debate-Defense by
Mr.. Lewis.

An attack upon the piecework system
in the Office Of the auditor for the Post
Office Department made yesterday aft
ernoon in the House by Representatives
Bryan of Washington and Nolan of Cal
ifornia, resulted in some harsh words
being said about Auditor Charles kram
personally and about his Office gener-
ally; but the peculiar legislative situa-
tion left after the House had adjourned
showed that the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill still
contained the provision for piecework
and electrical tabulating machines in
his office. but that it was cut out en-
tirely from the Office of the auditor for
the Interior Department.
During the debate Representative
Bryan characterized Mr.. Kram's office
as a hell on earth and Mr.. Nolan
said that he had received bitter COM
plant against the work of that office
as being inhuman in its character
Much of this criticism lost it's weight
when Representative Lewis of Mary
land, chairman of the House labor com
mittee and an expert in labor matters.
refuted all that Messrs. Nolan and
Bryan had said by describing Auditor
Kram-S Office as ideal

Trio Of Pickpockets
Get Limit Penalty

Mrs. Max Fine, who came from
New York to aid her husband after
he had been arrested. together with
William Hoffman and Louis Gozallo,
as a pickpocket, heard him sentenced
to six months in the Fulton Tower
and two years in the chain gang in
Judge Hills division of the Superior
Court Thursday morning. Hoffman
and Gozallo received like sentences.
The trio entered pleas of guilty to
two of the nine cases against them,
and Solicitor General Dorsey dis
missed the remaining seven. The
men were arrested by local detectives
after they had robbed a score of per-
sons on the streets. one of their vic
Tins being City Detective Hollings-
worth.
There is no doubt that you three
men are professional pickpockets, y
said Judge Hill in passing sentence,
and ] am sorry that the crimes to
which you plead guilty are misde-
meanors instead of felonies. / Will
give you the limit in each case.
