 count Of her four months experience as a worker in cotton and woolen
 mills of Passaic, N. J., Miss Justine Waterman Wise, daughter of Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, yesterday charged mill official with blackisting their employees and spying upon them. With four companions, Miss Wise said, she concealed her identity and sought contact with industrial life by living the life of q mill worker in a mill town.

 He admitted that cards were is- sued by the employment bureau to those seeking work.

He said the mills used the card dis system to keep a check on but he denied that it was a system of blacklisting.
 Miss Wise told of working in the Passaic cotton mills where she got her first job, She said the shifts were from z a. m. to p. Tn. and from p. m. to a. m.
 Later, Miss Wise said, she applied 1t the Forstmann and Huffman mills. It was there she encountered Rein held.
