however, to lie confounded with llie'
rdinarv laborers who come to Ameri'-a

seek that class of work. The most of i

Major ('arson's chief interest now,
fiowever. is not with the immigrants J
vho are to arrive at the port of Char- j
eslon, but with the manufacturers of
^>r si>u(b and the way in which they
pack their goods fur shipment to for- t
eign countries for sale.
"I have been living to make the
manufacturer- of the United States
see the necessity of belter packing in j
^oods intended for foreign shipment,''I
Major Carson said, "because until
'.ve learn lo pack our goods as well as !
those in (lertnany and other countries, 1
with which we have to compete, when !
they are offered for sale, we will nev- j
er get their full value. Take Ibe people
in South Carolina, for instance.
They pack goods in many eases for)
foreign ports just '.ike they would
pack them to go to Charleston. What
is the result 1 Why simpiy that when
they reach t 1mmr destination, after being
carried from mill to car, from car
to steamer, and tlicn possibly to more
cars, steamers or wagons, they are in
a badly damaged condition, all because
they were not properly packed
in the first instance.
"I have been hammering at the
manufacturers of the country since I
became the head of this bureau to
see that their goods were better packed;
to insist upon better packing, and
to have nothing else. It is hard to
believe, but in many eases I have received
replies from manufacturers
? !; ? had become angry with mo beivuse
of my efforts. They said: 'Why
don't you get after the other fellow?'
Well, it is no| the other fellow who
sends hi> goods hero that we are alter.
Wo must let him alone. Let
him pack his goods as badly as he
plen.-es. Wlint we want to do and

cniil mint's regulalion act of (iron
JtriIniit prohibits woman labor en
ployed niider?ronml.
In German souihwesl Africa an in
vcstigator found many native wome
at work about the mines. They wer
useful in carrying in loads, especial}
of firewood. The woman labor wa
cheap, and as long as they were lei
alone to take as much time as the
liked over the work and do it as the
wished they were all right. '{'
Ilis next experience wa.s higher u
the coast, in west Africa. Labor wa
short and they decided to try womei
to carry stones. They carried the firs
two loads and then they struck.
Those women quite altered the con
ditions of carrying stones. They ear
ried them for a certain distance, bu
three or four relays had to be provid
ed. Alter that they weie tried ,a
carrying sand and thing's like that
I hey went on for n short while, bu
did I he work in lils and starts.
In another place, also 011 the wes
coast, where women had been triet
against the black men. it was fount
that for carrying in firewood (he;
were by lar the best and cheapest
I here o| course, they were on pieci
work, althougli their tickets wen
marked just the same as if they wen
on day work.
Their hask was to carry in a cord ol
wood a day. I hey used to start abou
4..10 a, m. and went on carrying unti
1 and 1 ..It) 'ill !> or 10. Then if the>
wanted to ui t off early the next da;
I hey used to carry another cord o
wood in the afternoon or a part of it
I hey were a decided success, bu
they were very particular as It
whether the cord of wood was exact
ly in what they called their circle
They ditl not mind how close it wa;
to the boilers, but if it were a litth
over their distance they would go It
the manager and want an increase th
reel ly.
Some women used to carry abou
101) pounds on their heads; 011 at
average about eighty-live to ninety
live pounds of wood.
II h:l < been said that ' if the wholt
of l lie power from Niagara were
utilized, ii would only give three
times the horsepower thai is throwr
away by the blast furnaces of tin
