Former Bowery Habitue Tells
of Her Regeneration in

SAVED BY A RED ROSE
When Tady' Found Her She

in the Came

Eleven years ago last night China
town Gertie found God" She came
back for that anniversary to the Res
cue Mission In Doyers street, where
the old Chinese theatre was, and told
the men who drifted in there what she
was and the things she did when sne
was known along the Bowery as one
of the cleverest plckpoclSets In the
game and in the missions as woman
who had slipped down beyond help.
Last night was the second OF GertDes

Tuesday her sister sat on the platform
with her, the same sistsr who years be-
fore told Gertie she had disgraced the
fa mily, that she must get out or the
house, that she never wanted TO see hsr
again.
When Superintendent Noonan intro
duced her he told about the crowds
that used to come to the old Rescue
Mission at 15 Doyers street and how
there was corner reserved for the
women who came in off the Bowery
and chattersd and gossiped so during
the service that they gave more trouble
than the men.
It was in a Bowery saloon one night
that Gertie's regeneration began. "A
lady came in," she told the men, and
talked to me about my soul. tolo nef
to stop that funny kind Of noise. said,

rose and she told mo II stood for the

she said that although your sins be rs

to forget about 1t. But I couldn't for
get that about they shall be rs white as
snow and finally just had to go to
her. I didn't go straight right away.
It took time.
And men, before that, I was stopped
almost all the time. I stole even from
my friends. I spent moro than one
night in an opium den.'
The men in the mission didn't laugh
when Gertie told them how drunk she
used to be. There was something In

"Arbitrator" Unsympathetic.

John Pearl, vice-president Of the plas-
terers' organization and chairman of the
executive committee, has no sympathy
with the employers and told the commit
tee so. He presides over the committee
that assesses fines against members for
infractions and against employers for
violating union rules. Despite his pro-
fessional antagonism toward the employ
srs he was told by Mr.. Untermyer he
believed he was the right man in the
right place to arbitrate disputes.
Pearl described a man who would
work between 12 and / and and s
when no overtime Is provided as "the
meanest Of the mean," and "40 per cent.
meaner than a pickpocket." For a fore
man who rushed his men Pearl has no
respect.

Untermyer asked.
"Oh, everything imaginable" the wit
ness replied nonchalantly.
"well. Just tell us. How do you
cruelty them?"
I'VE don't cruelty them; we stick the
harpoon into them"
At the close of the hearing Mr.. F'rayne
of the A. F. of L. was observed in the
corridor talking earnestly and seriously
with Mr. Pearl. driving his remarks
home with emphatic gestures. Mr.. I'm
terInyer had asked Mr.. Frayne II the A.
r. of L. approved of having men Of such
decided views as Mr.. Pearl in position:
where they controlled the relations be-
tween employers and employees. '--

and business agent of the Operative
Plasterers' Union, attempted to justify
affairs in that industry. particularly the
destruction of plaster models when once
used and paid for by the contractor.
He insisted it was for the benefit of the
industry. Mr.. Untermyer asked:
IT am trying to find out and will II
It takes all winter. on what theory you
dictate to owners who are paying you to
do the work, how the work shall be done,
and override their objections when they
disagree with you. How do You justify
such conduct?"
Colleran said something, a factor Of
safety, then admitted that supervision
in that direction lay with the public au-
thorfties and finally admitted that many
of the regulations imposed by the union
were to prevent the elimination of work.
you try to make as much work as
possible, don't your" Mr.. Untermyer
asked.
YES" replied the witness.
"Owners Show Cussedness."
Mr.. Untermyer again took up the case
of the Plaza Hotel. which was described
In THE NEW YORK HERALD yesterday.
The owners. rather than submit to dieta-
ton by a union had abandoned proposed
work that they wanted done in their
own way. Mr.. Unterlnyer observed:
1T happens. then. that you do occa-
sionally run up against an owner of
some Independence"
IT wouldn't call 1t Independence" Col
leran remarked,
"oh. wouldn't you'll What would you
call it7"
I'D call II 'cussedness. z"
Mr.. Colleran said members of the union
frequently were fined for doing bad
work. This was for the protection of
the industry. Only last Friday twenty
one men had been fined for an offence
known in the trade as browning on
green scratch coat" and assessed Sc
each, It was said. Mr.. Untermyer
brought out, however, that In such cases
the fines went into the unions treasury
while the owner or builder who had the
bad job mus: pay again for its rectifica-
ton. Mr.. Cntermyer asked:
When a job has been botched and
men fined on account Of 1t, wouldn't 1t
be good idea for the unions to pay for
1t out of the fines?"
"Well, I never thought OF that"
Colleran defended the age limit at
which apprentice plasterers must begin
IN the ground that 1t assures an ade-
avate living wage for them when they
r'Ach maturity.
