GENERAL.--The sanitary arrangements are very bad at A., and lavatories open straight out of workrooms, and are in very bad condition. One does not use them unless she wants to get a fever. The company is very mixed. "You can tell that it is rather a low place, because the girls wear curlers and nothing is said. When one works at B. she has to take out curlers before she comes. You can always tell the sort of place when the girls wear curlers." 2. _A well-known Printing Firm in London. Forewoman's Information._ WORK.--6 or 7 girls are employed at machine ruling, and a few at vellum sewing and folding. REGULARITY.--The girls are kept on all the year round. HOURS.--The hours are from 8 a.m. to 7.30 p.m., with one hour for dinner and half an hour for tea. PROSPECTS.--Might rise to forewomen, but that not common. GENERAL.--Work girls have nothing to complain of now; they are always very well looked after. 3. S., _Small Printing Firm in London. Employée's Evidence._ WORK.--16 girls and 1 man (who is an engineer) are employed, S. helping himself. Upstairs there are 2 men "blocking," and 2 girls powdering for them. The girls do all the printing, _e.g._, the informant can set up the type, lock it into the frame, make ready, and then feed the platen machine--which alone is used in this firm. Informant can also clean the machine. She also does "bronzing," _i.e._, dusting-on bronze with a pad. The girls powdering upstairs do nothing else. A few younger girls fold circulars. REGULARITY.--Work is steady, and they are always busy. HEALTH.--Bronzing is most unhealthy. ----'s colour has all gone since she was put on to it a few weeks ago. "You are supposed to have milk to drink, but you never get more than half a cupful at the end of the day, when it is too late. The inspector has been round and has asked about the milk, but of course the manager said that milk was always given." (Informant looked very ill.) She had to stay away from work all the previous Thursday, and lost a shilling in consequence. Her father and mother say she must leave the work or she will die. "You see, they lost a brother of mine at twenty-three and a sister at thirteen, and they don't want me to go off too." The powdering done by the girls in the blocking room is very unhealthy. None of them can stand it long. They get ill and go off elsewhere. It brings on consumption. Feeding machines is very tiring. One girl works the cutting machine, which is unfit for a woman and very dangerous. A girl who worked it lost her finger and was six weeks in hospital, but the firm paid her well not to tell. The printing machines are dangerous, for you often get your fingers caught; it comes back quicker than you expect.
