TO "A YOUNG MoTHER."-If a
girl has made the one great mistake
in life, I say she should be given a
chance, she should not be con-
demned or her past be a reminder
except to herself as a lesson taught.
No man has the right to hold such
a mistake against any woman, as the
old saying, 1T is nature to err" etc.
If a man is so low as to condemn a
girl for making a mistake, he is no
man.
There is no person who is perfect.
May this appeal to some men or

life miserable and degrading instead
of trying to help and UpIift the fallen.

PIANO MOVERS DEMAND THE
S-HOUR DAY.-The Piano Moving
Transfers union, Local 738, of Chi
cagO desires to make clear to the
public the reasons which have led to
the present lockout. 1t is not gener-
ally known that the piano movers
have been forced to work overtime
day after day because of the failure
Of piano manufacturers and mer-
chants to correct unbusiness-like
conditions in their delivery depart
ments.
The basis of the demands of the
piano movers is their belief in the
necessity of establishing an 8-hOur
day, so that the welfare of their fam
lies and themselves will be assured
The committee from the Piano
Moving Transfers union visited the
various piano houses and stores and
were not extended any consideration
in the way of an interview at any
place, except the Office of Steger &
Sons Piano Mfg. Co. G. G.. Steger
and Geo. F. Steger readily recognized
the justice of the demands present
ed by the piano movers committee
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-04-07


The Steger institution has so eff
GENTLY arranged its delivery service
that the necessity of overtime work
on the part of the piano movers en-
plOyed by that prominent house will
be completely eliminated in the fu-
ture
Some of the piano men are of the 1
impression that the piano movers are
solely interested in securing better
pay This is not true. If the vaTi-
Gus piano companies will employ eff
ficient methods in regard to making
deliveries there will be no need OF
overtime work. Consequently, the
large amount Of money that is now
paid to the movers for overtime work
will not be necessary.
1t is not the intention of the piano
movers committee to attempt to die
tates to the piano manufacturers or
merchants how they should conduct
their various organizations. In the
past various suggestions have been
offered to the piano manufacturers
by the piano movers, which actually
represented a great saving in money
from the standpoint of arranging de-
iveries, but the manufacturers re-
scented the suggestions and, cOnse-
quently, the piano movers are not
disposed to go out of their way in the
future to offer any self-evident plans
for lettering the service.
In the past it has been the policy
in various piano houses to let the
question of deliveries take care of it
self. AS a result, it has been neces-
sary to deliver a large number of pia-
nos after the regular working hours.
This has involved considerable ex-
pense on the part of the piano
houses.
The piano movers desire to wipe =
out the overtime and cut off this ex-W-
pense. The piano manufacturers
and dealers may be perfectly willing
