NELSON'S FOR COOPERATION.
Il noticed in your Public Forum
column small item signed by "a
Reader" stating that a certain firm
makes practice of telephoning to
the factory floors when inspector
calls in order to have the children
transferred from work on heavy ma
chimes to light work before the in
spector can get upstairs. l want the
writer in that instance to know that
this department will appreciate lit
tie cooperation from him or her, and
the most effective way of co-operat-
ing is to furnish us with the name of
that factory. ..
have not the slightest doubt but
what in some instances evidence of
violations of the law is hidden from
the deputy inspectors in one way or
another. know that in the enforce
ment of the women's ten-hour law
we have found many cases where the
employer has the women employees
rehearsed and trained to fine point
in misstatements as to their hours of
labor in order that violations may
not be detected, and after some of
the girls lose their positions they
come to our department and tell us
that they lied when the deputy in
spector called because they feared
the loss of their job.
l want the readers of The Day
Book and all citizens in general to
know that this department will inves-
tigate every complaint that is receiv-
ed by US regardless of whether it is
anonymous or not. appreciate that
in the enforcement of labor laws we
cannot expect the employees who de-
sire to report violations of the law to
divulge their names, and therefore we
act on all complaints signed or I'M
signed. During my administration of
the department no one can say that
any cOmDlainant'S name or the

BUT THERE'S n
SORRY,

PRIZE!-I have been reading with
considerable interest lately the differ
ent views on the greatest fake in
Chicago. My idea is no doubt rad
ical and pessimistic, but nevertheless
it is my honest opinion formed after
a number of years careful observa-
ton and study of people in and out of
Chicago.
The greatest fake in Chicago is the
people themselves. Why? Because
it is their fakish ideas and ideals that
make such little fakes as Billy Sun
day, the charities, morals squad, ex-
cellent street car service, two phones
and two or three hundred other little
fakes not only possible but absolutely
necessary.
This is free country and the peo-
pie themselves only are responsible
for existing social evils, alias fakes.
1t is within our power to remedy these
evils and it is also up to us-it is our

BACKS PERRIcK..

BACKS PERRICK.-A1 hail to Mr..
Perrick, the broad-minded individual
who contributed the article entitled
Anonymous Letter Writing" to
your paper Monday.
One surely appreciates a version
given by a man of this caliber after
having read a lot of rot written by a
crowd of minded fanatics
who are not intelligent enough to
study two sides of story.
Allow me to contribute to the
Greatest Fake" contest by choos-
ing, first: The sale of pamphlets rep
resented to benefit homes for chill
dren, but the proceeds of which go
entirely to the publisher.

enforcement of nine separate and dis.

elements of the citizenship to this
end. By reporting violations to our
department we are sure to get to the
places that need our attention the
most.-Oscar F. Nelson, Chief.

MILLION DOLLAR DOLL
MAKES BIG HIT

"The Million Dollar Doll,' staged
at the Victor theatre Monday evening
by Harvey D. Orr and his company of
thirty people, made big hit with the
audience. The attendance was small,
owing probably to the inclement
weather, but everyone present was
highly pleased with the production
and pronounced it one of he best of
it's kind that has ever been staged
here.
The play was three-act musical
comedy with an excellent plot. Twen-
ty-one songs, including solos, quartette
and chorus selections, were interspers-
ed throughout the play and these alone
were we'll worth the price Of admis-
sion. Probably the best musical num-
bers were some selections by male
ouarette. which won rounds Of ap-
plause. The stage settings were good,
the company carrying its own scenery,
and the costumes were elegant. The
Leroys also gave excellent intorpreta-
tions of several Of the modern dances.
Manager Rice announced that the
company would return here next week
to play at the Victor on Friday and
Saturday evenings. They will not re-
peat "The Million Dollar Doll' hut
, will put on two musical comedies
which they claim are equally as good,
at reduced prices.

HIGH PRICES IN: POLAND

Michael Grzeca, a resident of the
West side, has received a letter from
a brother-in-law residing in Stargard,
Prussian Poland, in which he tells Of
the high prices on food there.
Rice, barley and peas cost 6 gro
schen Us cents) per pound; pork 1
mark per pound (23.S cents); potatoes;
marks per hundred pounds; rye -four
% marks per hundred pounds (about
$5.25). The amount Of -four each per-
son can buy is limited. They are given
ticket which entities them to 81
pounds Of -four each week. This, ac-
cording to local bakers, would make
about four medium sized loaves of
bread.
The government is very careful in
the matter Of mail. All letters must
be mailed unsealed and are examined
by the postal authorities. The writer
states that these conditions are not
so unbearable but he expresses the
hope that they will not get worse.

ORCHESTRA GAVE FINE CONCERT

Bastien's big orchestra appeared in
a concert at the Victor theatre Friday
evening and gave a very small audi
ence one Of the biggest treats in the
musical line that Little Falls talent
has ever been able to offer.
The program was interesting and
varied, consisting Of orchestra numbers
and solos. Herbert Nelson gave a
mandolin solo and was forced to re-
spond to an encore. Miss Elaine Ruth,
soprano, sang group Of songs and
she also was called upon for an encore
w. H. Bastien's rendition of the vio-
lin solo "Hejre Kati' brought forth
rounds of applause.
This orchestra, which consists Of
five violins, violoncello, bass viol, clar-
met, piccolo, flute, comets, trombones,
drums and piano, PROMISES to be one
of the best organizations of its kind in
this section of the state and the peo-
pie should support it. The organiza-
tion has not asked for support through
public subscription and the citizens
should therefore natronize it's enter
tainments and insure it's maintenance.
