ne WOMEN WORKED | 12 HOURS DAILY ON BROOKLYN‘ Witness Declares State Labor|h Laws Are Being Broken Constantly. How women ticket sellers in the Brooklyn L stations work twelve Bours a day for from 12 to 17% cents an hour; how others work that many boure night in and night out, rarely daring to take a day off because they + Reeded the money; how they suffered im many ways because of the lack of most ordinary accommodations; bow they sometimes work four or five hours over the regular twelve houre to take care of the tidal rushes to and from the seaside resorts, was related at to-day‘s session of the New York State Factory Investigating Commission in the City Hall by Rich- ard E. Quirk, un investigator for the Commissioner of Labor. ‘There was also a letter read from ® gateman in the employ of the In- terborough. He said he and countless others worked fourteen or fifteen hours a day for endless weeks at the rate of fifteen cents an hour. Witness Quirk, in telling how the big corporations were beating the la- bor law, explained that the trolley ‘and elevated lines worked their men ten hours, gave them a forty-five- minute “relay” and then started them to work again. The law was thus technically lived up to, although the men did not have an opportunity to go home and get rest, as the law in- tended they should. Taterborough tn @ letter to the com- mission refers to a relief associa- thon, which he says is nothing less than « well organized plan at extor- ‘tion. Although the letter was un- signed, it was placed on record. “They deduct from the salary of each man in this association from 75 cents to $1.50 a month,” declares “the gateman,” “and all we know about it fe what we read in the Bulletin that | # the company publishes each month, booming themselves and telling us that everything is for the benefit of the employees. “Can't any man with common eense a corporation which works ta men from twelve to sixteen hours &@ day does not intend to do anything for their benefit? “These conditions are a disgrace to our fair city. Imagine a poor man caged up in one of those subway booths from twelve to fourteen hours daily, It speaks well for a subway built by the great city of New York. | The Board of Health should act if your commission will not. “De you wonder why we have ao many unemployed? Do you wonder | hy we have I, W. W.'s and Anarch- fats? The big corporations are cre- ating them.” It was testified by Witness Quirk that 40 per cent. of the employees of the elevate? ' os in New York work more thar ‘Ive hours a day and that the company employing them therefeve violated the State Labor law.

John W. Wiogel, head of the time- table department of the B. R. T. for fourteen years, denied Quirk’s atate- ments in general. He admitted that men sometimes worked through din- ner hours, but explained that the run- aoe of cars and trains necossitated that. Mrs. Marie Orenstein, special in- vestigator for the commission, told of conditions found during an inves- tigation of thirty-two restaurant kit- chena and three hotel kitchens. She said kitchen girls work ninety-eight jours @ week and receive $5 or for a week's work. Fifteen restaurants had particu- | da larly unsanitary kitchens. One kit-| 9. chen, located in a sub-basement, had a slimy, dirty floor, with greasy pools. Potato pealings were scattered about. Uncovered food in pots and pans lay near the dirty floors. The commission adjourned to meet July 6 in Buffalo. chief engineer of the Morgan line steam- 97 ship El Rio, tied up at Tietjen &) Lange's shipyards in Hoboken, Is in St Mary's Hospital in Hoboken with a bul- let wound In hia left chest.
