The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-07-31
*
BY AGNES De LIMA.

ONE of the main grievances of the
~ striking mill workers in Passaic
Is the continuance of the abomination
of night work for women. This work,
they claim, is forced upon them by the
insufficient wages paid to men, wages
on the average less than half the
amount fixed by the United States
bureau of labor as necessary to sup
port family of five. Night work by
women is encouraged by the mills not
only during period of slack work, but
even now during the strike. At the
same time the testimony of the work
ers is overwhelming that this night
work is disastrous to the health of
women and to the welfare of their
children.
The following daily routine of a
night worker supplied by one woman
is TYPICAL
She works in the card room of the
Botany mill, which is the heaviest
work conceivable. All night she
stands from z o'clock in the evening
until 5 the following morning. She
then returns to her home, where six
children, ranging in age from three
months to thirteen years, and her
husband await her care. In exhaus-
ton, she falls on the bed" until
o'clock, when she must get up and
prepare her husbands breakfast, get
him off to work, and then get three
children ready for school. When
they are gone, there are still three
younger ones to look after. For an
hour or two she may try desperately
to get little rest with them at play
in the same room, or even in bed
with her, to keep them quiet. "But
you know, baby no keep still. All
time call, Mama, get up.'" Pres
emily she staggers to her feet and
sets about washing or cleaning, or
preparing something for the chill
dren to eat who come home at noon
from school. After dinner she may
attempt another nap, or, abandoning
any such hope, may continue her
oversight of her three children at
home. Occasionally, she says, she
puts the two youngest in charge of
the one of six and lets them play in
the street below, but "How | know
they not get kill from automobile"
Then comes the evening meal, and
her 7 o'clock return to the carding
room. BY Saturday, she says, she
'no can move from tired. Like
horse mus work, but me no strong
like horse"
In a black rear tenement lives
Mrs. D., all of whose four children
are under six. To help her husband
support them she has worked for
years between babies, on a spinning
mule at night. The children are
siekIy and she, herself, a beaten,
wretehed creature, worn to the bone,
and incredibly aged. Her husband
at the time of'the visit was danger
ously III in the hospital and Mrs. o.
was beside herself with grief, won
dering how she could ever raise her
family, should he die. One won
dcred how she could manage II even

STEPHENSONiS CHA NCE FOR
MZSTRLAL MOVE PASSED UP?
GiIIiom Says SO-KipIinger
Granted to March rs to
., File Appeal.

d. c. Stephenson, n year ago,
passed up his chance TO question
Jurisdiction OF Circuit Court at No
blesville. where he was convicted OF
the murder of Madge Oberholtzer,
%. indianapolis, and sentenced to In
diana State Prison for life.
This is the gist of the contention
with which Attorney General Arthur
L. Giniom will fight Stephenson's
plea for a writ of habeas corpus to
get out of prison.
Gilliom, representing Warden Wal
ter II. Daily OF the prison, will con-
tend in Superior Court at Michigan
City, where Stephenson's attorneys
will seek his freedom next Wednes-
day. that since the change of venue
from Marion County to Hamilton
County was taken upon Stephen
sons request and an error which
Stephenson now alleges was found
in the transcript was not questioned
at the time, the Noblesville trial and
judgment was valid.
GilliOm Granted Time
Superior Judge Harry L. Crum-
packer set the hearing for next
Wednesday, when Gilliom asked for
delay.
The court originally had set the
hearing for Thursday morning.
Attorney John II. Kiplinger of
Rushville this morning granted un-
til March 25 to file the brief in con-
nection with Stephenson's appeal to
the Supreme Court against the ver-
dict of the Noblesville court.
The time to file the brief would
have expired Dec. 25. Kiplinger APP
peared before the court and asked
the extension. Transcript of the
case was, filed Oct. 26.
Although the writ requesting the
habeas corpus action does not set
forth in detail the basis of the plea
1t is believed to be on the fact that
Marion County Clerk Albert Losche
failed to sign his name of the papers
transferring the matter to Hamilton
County Circuit Court, where Ste
phenson was found guilty of second
degree murder.
In such suit the battle will be
on technicalities of law. The Ste

their contentious on the decision of
