"If l Had a Ballot, Bill
Would Win" Cries
Member of "Strap-
hangers Brigade" !
"Going to, Work in
Crowded Cars Is a
Hardship" Asserts
Factory Employe

Could the question "Do you want the
rapid transit loan bill to win next Tues.
day7" be put to the women who toll for
their daily bread in Philadelphia--ah, but
the answer would make the men, who do
the voting, think.
Random questions put TO girls of Phila.
delphia who work, girls who must stand
every day on their way to and from their
labors, has brought forth as one voice, a
great almost sobbing answer to that
question, yes, oh, yes"
Transit means more to the women who
toll than men realize. Standing on
street cars to women often means physt-
cal anguish, when the whole day has
been spent on feet that burn, and yet with
smile from a heart that aches.
Going home on n No. 13 car last night
was a little cash girl from one of the
big department stores. She had been run.
ming errands all day--but she had to stand
for SO squares. Her hair was in curls
down her back, but her face already had
a tired look, an expression which should
not be In childish eyes. She admitted
that many a night she had to stand and
that many mornings she stood all the
way to the store. She seemed to see
ray of hope ahead, when she said: May
be IL won't be for long. They tell me
If the transit loan bill passes there will be
better days My mother and father have
told my brothers to vote for the bill. The
boys know what 1t means to sister and
me to have to hang on straps for more
than an hour daily. They are going to
vote Yes"
SIGNS OF MOTHERS CARE.
The child's clothes showed that her
mother was thoughtful Of her children's
welfare in many ways. Although the
suit she wore WIS old, it was neatly
mended in many places. The collars ond
cuffs were clean. although they too
showed signs of wear.
on the same car, which was crowded
and jammed and packed to the doors,
was another woman who tolls, n little
woman of 80 odd years. She, too, stands
many mornings and many nights after
working all day in "A big, noisy factory
over machines that do not stop for tired
nerves and that throb with a ceaseless
whrl
CAR AFTER CAR PASSES ME-"
TRULY l do not mind the standing in
the car on the way home as much as |
do standing on the corner while car after
car passes me-" she said, and for
moment her tired gray eyes cleaned with
something akin to animation. Sometimes
1 have to stand in the rain, and wait"
she continued. "All the cars are full and
there is not room for the crowds who
wait after their labors to get home.
Many of the girls in our factory complain
more of that than they do of the actual
standing while going home and coming
to work And that is a hardship. You
can imagine that. The trip to and from
the factory is hard as my real work.
Then, too when L get home often l have
to do a little washing, because my salary
does not give me much money for laundry.
And a girl must look clean. Then too,
must mend evenings, and that is tiresome
work. But 1t would not be so hard If
1 had few moments rest and relaxation

WISHES SHE HAD A VOTE.
There were many girls who have the
same feelings about the need of the pas
sage of the transit loan bill. Among them
is Miss Helen Mclaughlin, 1889 South
5Sth street, who is employed in depart
ment store. She frankly admits she wishes
she had a vote, so she could use 1t for
the loan bill Miss Clara Cohen, 51st
street and ParlSside avenue, also an en-
ploye in department store in the down.
town district, voiced the thoughts of
thousands of other working women when
she said
"If had vote, 1 would vote for rapid
transit I am tired to death Of hanging
on straps, waiting for cars to go by me-
already so packed that they do not stop.
l am sick of hanging on straps and 1 am
tired of having the motormen ignore me
as I stand waiting to go home after long
days work"
Miss Pearl Pinkus. 24s2 Ridge avenue,
a cash girl in one of the big stores, also
favored rapid transit, although she is only
IA years old.
SHE NEARLY SMOTHERS
Miss Sadie Preston, 513 North 9Th
street, is an advocate of elevated trains
saying she does not like the subways
particularly, but anything will be better
than the present conditions.
Miss Bessie Edelstein. SD street and
Girard avenue, says she NEARLY smothers'
going home nights in crowded cars and
that she never gets a seat. She said: Il
have two brothers, and l do so want
them TO vote for the transit loan. lt
means a lot to the working classes to
have It pass. I have 10 stand up in the
street cars and the subways getting to
and from work. If 1 had vote 1T would
be for the loan"
These are a few of the thousands of
examples of the girls who must toll and
what they think of the necessity of the
