Only the dirtiest, hardest and lowest paid jobs are allowed to fil- ter down to the employment office, to be offered to half-starved em- ployment seekers. Big, strong, 200- pound “efficiency” brutes do noth- ing but stroll around and devise schémes for squeezing more and more profits out of the toil of weak, underfed, 100-pound little girls, who have to keep up with “the line” and ether machines. Girls not more than babies are pitted against the strength and speed of steel ma- chines to the limit of human endur- ance.
