Remember way back when the possum curled up on the branches of the trees that are now standing in Chicago's parks-and when it was great Saturday afternoon sport to trap the coons and the mink and muskrat along the shores of the Des Plaines River and Salt Creek. Prob ably not! But it hasn't been so long ago!
 Chicago is less than thirty years away from the frontier-and it hasn | been twenty-five years since the wolves were at our door-literally
 You may take the word of Fred Wegener, trapper extraordinary. who has spent the last thirty y-seven years trapping fine furs in the very en- virons of Chicago, Western Illinois. and Iowa.
 Wegener remembers the day. some thirty-two years ago. when he trapped a prize specimen of dark American mink. one of the finest of its kind ever caught in the middle west. right near the spot where the Haywood foundry now stands.
 And that wasn't all. Just twenty Ave years ago. today. the coons and skunk and muskrat were plentiful in these parts-and 1t wasn't un- usual to go out on single day along

the course of the Des Plaines River or the Salt Creek and bag a dozen fat healthy specimens, according to the trapper.
 Wegener is in Chicago today mak- ing his thirty-seventh annual trip to Chicago. bringing with him the furs he and his son have trapped within the past five weeks, the height of the trapping season in Iowa.
 The Wegeners trapped more than 8 hundred furs this season, among them the belts of mink, fox, pl,lskras, weasel, civet cat and coon. They have trapped as many as 500 furs in one season.
 Trapping in the middle west is just as profitable as it ever was, al- though you might think the progress of civilization would have pushed trapping farther vest" MT. Wegener said. displaying his raw furs at the Shubert fur plant at 25 West Austin avenue today.
 My son and I cover between ten and fifteen miles every day. following our trap-line in the vicinity of Nora Springs, Iowa. As many as dozen fine belts are often trapped in a day. Tripping is just as picturesque. and in some ways as dangerous and thrill ling as it was in the old days before civilization invaded the middle west. ''i

certain employment are acknowl-
edged by the state bureau of women
and children in a special report, just
issued, on hours and earnings of
men and women in the silk industry.
Silk manufacturing shows a larger
percentage of child workers under
16 than any other manufacturing or
mechanical industry in the country,
so it is not surprising that Pennsyl-
vania, leading silk state, reports so
many silk workers as children. They
are too young to be counted as
regular workers, according TO the
government study, which includes
them only in footnotes. But they
are not too young to contribute a
vitality important percentage to the
family income. Daughters for the
most part of coal miners, railroad
and steel workers, they supplement
the meager wages of their fathers.
Median earnings of these children
are only SOFA a week in weaving
mills, $7.68 in throwing mills and
S6.45 in all silk plants studied by
the bureau. Half of the child work.
ers in weaving mills are earning less
than $6.14 and half are earning
more. In the Philadelphia district
one in every ten silk workers and
in the Wilkes-Barre area one in
every eight is under Is.
Twelve-Hour Night Shifts.
Long night shifts of IL hours,
from 6 p. m. to s q. M, with only
a brief rest at midnight, keep many
of the men working 60 hours a week
or more. Nearly one-fourth of the
men silk workers were found to be
working these excessively long
hours. Women, far outnumbering
the men, average a 50-54-hour week,
while some women had to work over
Sd and even 60 hours week, in vio-
lation of the state law.
Yet, for these long hours, median
weekly earnings were only $500
for the women, $26.93 for the men.
Wrappers, weavers and twisters-the
more skilled crafts-had the high
est earnings. In all other occupa-
lions, median earnings for women
were less than SIS. Women in one

Overtime work added little or
nothing to these low earnings.
Women working overtime had me-
dian earnings actually 1925 lower
than the median earnings of the
women working their scheduled
hours. Yet with much overtime
work and most of the plants run
ming double shifts, one-third of the
silk workers could not count upon
full weeks work. Extreme in
stability of employment, shown even
in the one week studied, leaves silk
workers ever in fear Of losing the
job.
While a state bureau puts out this
report and its cautiously worded
conclusions. the National Textile
Workers Union calls a national con-
ference of silk workers to meet in
Paterson, Aug. 25. Representatives
will come not only from all districts
of the Pennsylvania field, but also
from Conn, Mass, New York and

states. A program of uniform ma
