BY FREDDIE FILM

Factory girls in Tacoma get
better wages, better hours. and
are better housed than those OF
New York City. AS a matter Of
fact, the conditions under which
working girls labor in the West
are far superior to those in the
East.
The "sweatshop" of eastern cit
les, as typified in The Eternal
Grind" a picture play with Mary
Pickford. being shown at the Co.
lonial theater this week, is uh-
known in this state. There is not
one in Tacoma, yet hundreds of
them can he found i'm New York
City. In these places girls and
women are forced to work ten
hours and longer each day. Their
wage is but pitiful pittance
scarcely sufficient to provide the
bare necessities of life. The fac

OF course, all eastern factories

Many of them are modern, up-to-

special pains to care for the wom-

But the fact remains that the
West is far ahead of the East in
this respect, and that the average
working girl in Tacoma is much
better off than her New York sis
ter.

tories are often dingy, unsani-

who know say the picture of the
garment factory in THE Eternal
Grind" is not overdrawn.
There is one garment factory
in Tacoma-the Shull-Day COM
pany-where shirts, pants, and
overalls are manufactured. About
125 girls are employed by this
concern, and their daily wage
averages from $3.50 to $500 or
higher. Over one hundred of
these girls work on the piecework
scale. The amount of money they
can make depends on their own
ability. Not one of them makes
under the minimum wage law of
the state.

make garments in Tacoma work
