her. Her answers seemed almost un-
believalble. She answered loud and
clear, did Mrs. Breznak. She told her
story to senators, and she did not
speak for herself alone. She spoke
for all those other mothers in Passaic
who work all night because the rich
mills do not pay enough to their hus-
bands to support their families.
"Sure got to work nights" says
Mrs. Breznak, hands on knees, chew
ing piece of gum. How would we
eat-me and all the kids? You see
the more kids you got, the more young
sters in the house, the more in Pas
sale woman's got to work nights. !"
She spoke as tho she were telling a
commonplace. A murmur went thru
the company. Borah called it pitiful.
Yes. it is pitiful that the mothers of
children have to work nights. 1.-THE
more children they got the more they
got to work nights" but it is a COM
monplace In Passaic. That's the way
life goes in Passaic.

senators, and by the time she had fin

ought to have a senate investigation

tile workers Of the country, was what
Mrs. Breznak said to them in a tone
that had hot indignation behind it.
No one was ever more convincing than
she.
Mrs. Breznak and the others took
a look around. They sat awhile in
the senate gallery and they walked
around the imposing Capitol grounds
and wondered if the grave gentlemen
inside there were going to do so much
as give the textile workers a hearing.
Next day Mrs. Breznak knocked on
the door of the white house and they
let her in, but she could not see the
president.
From the white house the way led
to the department Of labor. Mrs. Brez-
max told Secretary Davis the story of
Passaic. So she went thru the picket
lines at Washington tramping stur-
Oily along. All the senators in the
white house and the department of
labor heard her story, told from the
white heat of her indignation. She
never misses picket line.

has been making S1S a week. Mrs.
Breznak makes $16.OS.
This has been Anna Breznak's life
Always more children. Children to
be looked after. Children under school
age to be cared for. A whole family
living in four rooms and with herself
working in the mills. A life full of
effort and toll, of bringing up nine
children. A lifetime spent in the
service of the mills, piling up money
for somebody else. At the end Of all
these years of effort nothing to show
for it except her nine children. No
house for them. No possessions. A
bare living and nothing else to show
for lifetime of work.
Then a wage clash.
Mrs. Breznak went on strike. She
went on strike with all the power Of
her strong body, with all the power
and high courage which made it pos
sible for her to bring up her children.
She went on strike with all the
strength of her powerful body that
makes it possible for her when over
fifty to stand the gaff of the terrible
night shift in the mills, ten hours a
night, five nights a week, and a quar-
ter Of an hour at midnight for all
recess. Indignation was her motor
power. Mrs. Breznak is mad clear
thru, fiery indignation sends a hot
color to her cheeks when she thinks
of what happened to the workers in
Passaic.
Mrs. Breznak goes around the picket
line to the halls where the strikers get
/ their coffee. From there to the meet
ings and to the picket line again and
to strike meetings at night. She plods
thru the long strikers day and she is
never weary. The hot fire of indigna-
ton never dies down. 1t is there at
the heart of the strike, smouldering
red-hot coal. There is no girl that is
as tireless as she, for she knows the
whole story of workers life. That is
why she is striking with the indigna-
ton bred of the accumulated injustice
of years.
WIHEN Mrs. Breznak went to Wash
w ington she took with her her in
dignation. She walked down thru the
marble hallway that led to Senator
Borah's room, a sturdy figure. Come
to tell the capital what the workers
in Passaic go thru. come to shout to
America from the senate steps, I'VE
don't make enough to eat in Passaic."
She strobe down to Borah's Office
chewing a piece OF gum. Why
shouldn't she? This was only another
kind of picket line. She was used to
picket lines. This was another way
of winning the strike.
Mrs. Breznak sat In Borah's Office
and told Senator Borah and Senator
LaFollette about her nine children.
She told how her husband made flf-
teen cents an hour when he first be-
gan work in the mills. The reporters
OF all big papers were there looking
at Mrs. Breznak sitting suuarely In
her chair, a hand ON each knee, her
head thrust out little, answering

The Factory Child

Like the trampled flower she lay there
In the cabin on the hill.
"Jennie's sick" said Tom, her brother,
e To the foreman of the mill.
Tossing in her restless fever
On the blanket soiled and torn,

Eight sad years since she was born.
Then her fevered fancy wandered
And her eyes grew wide with fear

See the big wheel above the window
What big one, see it whirll
Mamma, I'm so tired of working,
And I'm such little girl"
"Can't have a dolly, mamma,
Like the one saw today,
Are there mills in heaven mamma,
Won't God let me run and play?
See how fast the spools are running
Faster, faster, oh, my head!
No, did not do it, no sir,
Please, / did not break the thread"
"Here, my fingers caught, its bleeding,
Stop the wheel and let me gol
Mamma, quick, the wheel will kill me,
Stop it! Oh it hurts me SOP
Then the "Last Boss" paused beside her;
Famed her with his cooling breath
Touched her beating heart and stopped it;
soothed her with the peace of death.
