J. Two Dollars For A “Job.” He bought his “job” from the em- ployment concern of Rosen & Costello, | on the Bowery, near First street, whose misleading sign about the job brought him into their clutches. After arriving at Logan on June 2nd, he worked until the 10th (pay day) and was informed that he would get no pay that day because he had not, worked long enough. He was then told he would have to wait til the 25th to get paid and that then he would only get paid until the 15th—the company holding back ten days’ pay. The pay was at the rate of 40 cents an hour for a nine- hour day—making a total of but $3.60 per day. He was told he could get good board for $1.05 per day and the food served was such swill that none of the men who had money would eat it, although they had to pay for it just the same, Ali of them spent from $1.00 to $1.50 in order to get decent food in town near where they slept in railroad cars not fit for cattle, Cheated Out of Wages.
