One of the points which intrigued the curiosity of the woman's bureau was how the small children were cared for when the mothers worked outside the home. They asked 622 of these women about It. In 22 cases the mother kept store and cared for the children on the wide; 107 worked nights, and so were with the children during the day time: 25 paid someone else to take the responsibility—the someone else arying from a neighbor to a day nureery.

After you've made 140 boxes, you're thru for the day. Now, 140 boxes a day is a good day's work. Up river we had only been required to make 120 boxes. But this was haven, and food at the fishermen's mess sounded good to me. HOLDING HIS OWN NOW “Well, 1 remarked, “up river I worked two months and owed the boss $14.80. Here, at least, I'll be holding my own.” The German superintendent Intro. duced me to my new Chinese boss, | who was a little Mexican, and I went to work that afternoon, If one works at boxmaking from 6 in the morning to 4:30 or 6 he make }140 boxes. | That means he must drive 4,040 }nails, and before many hours hin |hands become bitstered, his wrists swollen and his arm shot with sharp |pains.

In addition to colored boys, Mexicans and all the other va riety of Latins, there was quite « group of white workers. 1 was 4 greenhorn at box making, but by 4:30 I had easily made my quota. I was surprised to notice when I quit that a lot of my fellow workers had not nalled up more than 100, Several were not finished with 60 boxes. They were doliberately loafing, a case of the ultra-radical weapon of sabotage. I wondered at this, for after work, as 1 went thru the Chines gang’ quarters, I found housing conditions of the beat. The bunkhouse con tained small rooms lined with six bunks each, electric lights and good ventilation. There was no heat, but upstairs above the mess hall the company had arranged « big lounging room with steam heat in it for the Chinese gang. A shower room with hot and cold water and tubs to wash their clothes in had been built REBELLIOUS SPIRIT 1S GREATER HERE But upon talking to the men 1 found among them a rebellious spirit even greater than among the gang I had come up with. Apparently good food is the first answer to the prob. lem of contented labor, and here, in the best of canneries in Western Alaska, men were still being fed by the Chinaman on a diet of the same sort of food we had been getting. speed “cleaned up their camps,” but they had begun at the wrong end. Chinese gang system, and almost identical conditions with ours on board ship and at the canneries were turning their common workers into potential reds. 1 interviewed a half dozen of them that evening, and all] complained of the exploitation by the Chinaman and Meyer, of poor food and of overcrowded conditions aboard the windjammers that had brought them. Here are some of their ex- pressions: A tall Spaniard: “This I» my first | trip. Never again.

That no modern city can exist without its Public Utilities, and its Pub- lie Utilities cannot exist without credit. @ That if a Public Utility, either publicly or privately owned, is not pros- perous, it cannot continue to give good service. @ That in the 18 years’ life of the Seattle Lighting Co., it has never earned the legal return permitted by law on the capital invested. @ That the rapid growth of this City has created an urgent demand for immediate extension of gas service to its various new residential dis- tricts. @ That Public Utilities are not permitted to make these extensions from their earnings. All such expenditures must be met by new capital ob- tained by sale of securities sold in the open market. @ That in growing communities the demand for new capital 1s continuous and the ability of Public Utilities Companies to secure such funds is not to be impaired or the progress of the material development of the community will be delayed. @ That it follows that if the credit of Public Utilities is impaired you cast a shadow on the city’s growth and prosperity. @ That every detail of the operation of privately owned Public Utilities is a matter of public record in Olympia. @ The Gas Company firmly believes that when all the facts are understood by the general public it will be able to determine that this institution has been conducted in an intelligent manner and operated in a most economical way for the very best interests of the entire community.
