BAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.-Thr-re was
nothing scientific about It. I dida't want
to know how many women ar tnanKlci
In machinery yearly nor whether modi'l
fartoriea supply hot tea at noon. I Just
wanted to know personally how It would
feel to get a job.
Toiltiona I knew all about. You apply
for three, and are. accepted. Tou ask for
a job and iret taken on. I wanted to know
the. feel of It; to uk, to be refused, to be
taken, to be looked over. To do somo
thlnf not because I had any special In
clination or training, but because I hap
pened to be on hand at 7 a. m. and some
one else did not happen to be there. To
work on day after day with no more
ultimata ambition than to make as much
as poeslbla at that particular thing-.
Recauae I wanted to begin at the very
bottom, to feel very much alone and un
protected, I went to a society that keeps
a secretary to help girls to fmd work, and
asked assistance. She was a very well
dressed secretary and she looked me over
critically. For five minutes aha Just sired
me up and then said "Shirts."
I bad expected this. Organisations al
ways advise sewing. But I said I would
rather do anything else, for I wanted to
nee what else she would suggest. She
frowned slightly and then followed w1:h
canvassing, housework, nurse glr' and wait
ing on table in a country hotel. I shook
my head at all.
The frown deepened. Then suddenly it
cleared and she said "Fruit, " with the air
of having brought forth a very precious
gem Indeed.
Couldn't Refase Fruit.
I didn't bave the courage to refuse fruit,
besides It seemed to be a very wonderful
thing. You simply went off somewhere
"Into the beautiful country" and enjoyjd
yourself. It couldn't really be railed m'ork,
and If you were any good at all you made
$2 a day. Hundreds of women yearly fol
lowed the ripening fruit through California.
I forget Just how many the secretary
had personally driven Into fruit, but It
was all down In a little red book. She
call It "gathering statistics on one of the
greatest Industrial opportunities for the
working women of our state." 80 I let her
enter me In the little red book and give me
a printed slip, good for a ticket at the rail
road office, and I signed two papers prom
ising to refund the cost.
Then I packed a grip and went away
200 miles "into the beautiful country," to
town where the Chamber of Commerce
gives away receipt books on how to get
an entire dinner with rainlns and prunes.
I found a room In a rambling old house
down close to the fruit houses, where
engines switched back and forth all night
long and the front door was never closed.
All night heavy steps sounded on the
stairs and then the landlady's bell would
jangle wildly and a few minutes after her

The next nmrnlnir I got up at an un
golty hour and became a woman who tolls.

Wars of the Fnretndr.
' She looked mo ovtr Iflsurrly. Had 1 ever
worked In fruit )eforc? No. Rhe couldn't
use me, she wanted experienced packers.
And then a desire for that particular Job
awoke and blazed wltliln me and 1 b'-gati
to .aJk. And I talked until I saw her ex
pression soften.
I don't rememher' what I Mid before T
confessed to having a husband win had
left me, but I remnnilfer hearing myself
say that I had a little boy. I called him
Willie and said that he was 2 years old.
"Get a knife and a mould over there and
I'll see If I can use you." she said.
I got a knife and a mould and went and
stood at the vacant place she had Indi
cated and wondered If I always hud such
possibilities latent or whether they were
born of the occasion.
It was a dried fl pinking house, and
I can see It yet, every face, almost every
fig. The big harnllke room with eliding
doors opening on a platform piled high
who Doxes or rruit, the trams drawn up
on the siding waiting to be loaded. And
beyond, scattered cottages, the smoke
stacks of other packing houses and then
the country miles upon miles of green,
shimmering in the hot sun. The long
tables lined with women and girls
heavy faced Russians, fat Neapolitans with
dirty waists, dark eyed Armenians, clean,
self-assertive Americans. Every woman
bent over a pile of yellow figs, the heavy
smell or tons of warm fruit, the rlnnk of
machinery, the soft thud of the figs as
they fell from the separator, the click of
the scales as the women weighed and the
high, singing call, "More fru-lt fru-lt!"
I.esrnlng the Work,
Suddenly the forewomen was behind me.
"Watch me." she said.
Leaning over she seized a hot fig, give
It one slit with a knife, pushed up with
her first fingers and down with her thumbs
and make a butterfly out of it. Again
and again she did It, then stepped wearily
aside and told me to try.
I flourished the knife, give the silt and
was left with a piece of skin sticking on
my thumb. Where, where or how the In
terior oi mat rig vnnished I shall never
know. It was and It was not.
A dozen times more she showed me, and
then to my Inflnito relief left me to prac
tise. I tried to catch the trick from the
girl opposite, but her hands flew so quickly
I could make nothing of It. Besides, her
fingers were all wrapped In rags to keep
the lye that Is put on during tho dryl"K
from eating away the nails. Before my
month was up I could plrk out the differ
ent workers by their wounds: Crumbling
nails, figs; big, callous lumps at the ends
of the thumbs, prune packers; callous
trips across the palm, peelers In the can
nerles; skin thick and white like leprosy,
tomato canners; finger ends flat and black,
raisin packers. It's almost a Bertlllon sys-tern.
men jusi wnen i inougnt mat I never
could flatten out a fig I did It. After
that there wa) nothing to learn, Just to
work up a speed.
By 11 I could do It, not quickly but with-
out spoiling any. I could pack my mould
so that each of tho five divisions weighed
the exact eight ounces prescribed by law.
std when they didn't could ram a few figs
Into the center without taking the whole to
pieces. After that It was JUBt slit, push,
pack and on without ceasing.
It was no good trying to talk to the girls
around. They only looked at me suspici
ously. They were there to pack figs, so
presumably was I. Kvery moment wasted
In anything else meant so much money
less.
Gradually the awful necessity of haste
frightened me. With eyes fixed on their
work they turned neither to the right nor
to the left The tension was almost pal
pable. I too began to hurry, every muscle
ngia with effort. An unseen taskmaster
was driving me forward. I forgot the
sharp ache In my ankles and the knife
pain between my shoulders. 1 thought of
nothing else but finishing another brick.
At 14 the whistle blew. As one the day
workers quit, but the packers went on
until the angry voice of the boss railed
No more." Even then an old Sicilian.

irica to elude him, btu he went over and
Jerked her from the table by her arm.
Screaming on the saints to bear witness
that she had come five minute late that
morning and needed the money, shaking
ner scrawny fist in his face, she tried to
struggle back to her place. The man
dragged himself free, but between them
her last tray of figs fell to the floor. Jab
bering wildly the old woman went down
on her knees, while the man turned away
laughing. She picked them up ulone, mum
bling to herself, the big, gold hoops In
her ears leat'lng a mad dance. When she
had finished she tied a green shawl over
hr head and went away.
After mnch we began again. It was not
hard work as such work goes. I know that
now. But the awful monotony of those
endless figs. By 2 I could scarcely sUnJ,
hut the others worked on without stopping.
They call It a gxl day, one like thut, when
the fruit pours In an everlasting stream
ftom the sepirator and nothing Btoj tho
flattening of the figs.
By 3 It was stifling. Outside the heat
palpitated as If the very earth were strug
gling to finish her task, to force the grow
ing things to maturity before nightfall. By
6 30 I had made cents. They told me I
had done well for a green hand and when
I had been t It several seasons I would
be sure to make my U a day. They alsu
told me that I would s.m get used to the
awful pain In my shoulders, or I wouldn't
feel it. I don't remember which. It
amounted to the same thing.
Passing of the rain.
They were quite right. By the fifth day
the sharpness of the pain was gone. At
night I Ml only deadly, stupidly tired. By
the end of the woek I was' making 90
cents on good days, but the lif and color
were all gone out of It. It was not un'il
long tfler I hud left it that I could see
again as I had seen un the first day.
By the middle of the second wctk the
others existed only as they made more or
less than I. The white-haired old English
woman who packed so slowly, so accurately
at the far end of the table and who
stopped every few moments to wipe her
glasses and give a little sigh, and the
wrinkled, Sicilian witch who bad fought
with the buss and owned a row of flats
and had a bank account, and Little dia
monds, the pretty Armenian next to me,
whose money went Into payments on the
family orchard, so that she couldn't marry
the pale, quiet young fellow who stood all
day at the throttle of the separator and
gased at her with dark, sad eastern
eyes they had all gone down together.
By tho end of the second w.ek I had bo
come a machine a machine for the flat
tening of figs. I bad not tried to do it. J
had Just stood steadily packing and pack
ing and packing.
Oat ef a Job.
Then I lost my place. Something hap
pened soBiswhare to Um tig supply u4 ban
th packers were let out. No one explained
the reason and none of us BkL
For two day I went from one place to
another, my paper of lunch under one arm,
my apron under the otlier, ready to begin.
No one wanted me. Home of the fore
men w.-re Indifferent aid some were
rilly sorry tlwt tliey had nothing for me;
some were sympathetic and ld the man
ner of rememberlrg the distant dnys when
they a I'M) had "been looking for a Job."
Somo were as superior as the secretary
Who gathered statistics.
On the third day I brew going to the
same places In the afternoon and In the
morning, hoping that some girl had failed
to come back and that I would get her
place. Others tried the same thing.
I met an untidy, stupid Russian peasant
three times In one afternoon coming out
as I went In. The third time we smiled
at each other kindly and I understood why
the unemployed band together. The world
had readjusted Itself Into those who had
work and those who wanted work. Chi the
fourth morning as I stood waiting for the
forewoman I saw the stupid, dirty Russian
working away silently. She had got In
ahead of me. I had a distinct feeling of
dislike for her.
From Fins to I'enches.
On the afternoon of the fourth day I was
taken on for a rush order of dried peaches.
Now, packing figs Is like handling warm
flaxseed poultices, but dried peaches are
like cobble stones. If possible, the work
Is more monotonous.
There are no moulds to wash, nothing to
weigh. You Just stand In the same spot
hour after hour flattening dried peaches.
Presumably you do It with your handa only
I did It with every muscle In my body, for
there is no limit to the extension possiblll
ties of a dried peach. I could make one
Into doormat or squeeze It into a pea, still
keeping it perfectly flat.
Whvn the fresh trays of warm fruit are
brought the forewoman emits sounds like
foot ball signals, 7x9, 9x11, etc. You fall
uixm the fruit, grabbing us much of the
best as you can get your hands over, ajid
begin to lay It In the boxes seven across
by nine up, etc. The only excitement Is
that aa soon as you have besun to get used
to ono way. the forewoman emits a new
signal and you have to do something else.
If anyone Is rude enough to grab at the
siinia fruit that you want, you push her
away as roughly as Is neceseary to separate
her from it. In those packing houses where
the fruit U not brought round but you have j
to go after It you have less chunce.
As soon as tho clonk, clank of the steamer
begins, and the soft, hot fruit comes pour
ing Into the bin you seize your box and
beat your way Into the packed mass of
women and girls. If the sharp edge of a
box is driven Into your back it's all part
of the getting of the fruit. Next time It
will be your box and another woman's back.
There Is no permanent ill feeling about
It At least not when you are both Ameri
cans. It la difierent when a box is yielded
by a "dago." A "dago" la anyone with a
dark complexion Who can't speak English
and who makes more money than you do.
When a "dago" steps on you or prods you
in the Jam It Is always malicious and pre
meditated. Fail far the Money.
So it went on day afur day. Sometimes
I was let out and sometimes I left on my
own accord. As the fruit came pouring In
from the orchards and vineyard there was
no trouble in getting work and no one was
laid off. It Is like a sweeping tide of the
sea, swallowing uvory humiui thing capablo
of work.
Those who need it and those who don't
are all dragged under together. It la a
chance to make money; no one can stand
against it. .There is something terrifying
about It It Is almost, palpable, that haunt
ing, driving Thing forever beating the
worker on. I saw the Thing once, saw it
clearly.
I was packing raisins In a huge packing
houae. Upon each table a long iron funnel
from the room above poured a stream of
boiling hot raisins all day. We worked In
crews of three.
When he had filled forty-eight pound
packages with raisins, weighed each one,
closed it and packed all forty-eight in a
wooden box wo got 5 cents to be divided
among the three. At the same table with
me were a sharp-faced little American wo
man and a heavy Russian mother with her
16-year-old daughter. The woman had been
working seven years and the girl three.
They made 13 a day each.
Early In the afternoon I could Just see
them through the dense steam that rose
from tho hot fruit The faces of the two
women were deep red and the water ran
In streams from them. But the girl was
quite white. They worked without speak
ing, almost without moving. I left because
when I woke at night I could see those two
rt-d faces and the white one, like lost souls
In Inferno, condemned to pack forever. The
Thing was behind them.
Why she Quit.
I worked another woek and then I
stopped. I stopped because I was frightened.
I was bottling preserved peaches when it
struck me with the force of a physical
blow. From 7 in the morning until 6:20 at
night I hud stood in a room roofed with
netting to keep out the beea only the net
ting was broken and the beea came in any
wayand slid preserved peaches down a
stU k Into a bottle. Suddenly my little stick
snapped and couldn't go on working.
For ten minutes while the forewoman
hunted up another slick I sat doing noth
ing, watching the others get ahead of me.
The girl next to me never turned her head.
The fat, dripping halves continued to slide
down the stick and form clean, yellow half
moons up the side of the bottle.
"Don't you ever feel like packlnii them
wrong sldo up?" I uked, "Just for a
chunge?"
"No," she said simply and began on a
now bottle. "That 'ul.l bo stupid."
She had been sliding jwaches down that
stick for two months. That was why I
quit- She frightened me. I ai alruid
that very soon I too would think it was
stupid to slide the peaches In upside down.

ful If the full hcrrible story of tho. earth
quake will ever be told. The survivors have
only a confused Idea or whnt toox place.
They were awakened by the falling of their
houses and how they escatiod they cannot
guess. The awful minutes, In most cases
nhpti th..v were struggling for life, are a
nightmare or a blank, which perhaps even
time will not clear.
However, some few have been able to
put their sensations and experiences into
words. I have heard of a man who in
habited tho fourth floor of an apartment
house airt who was awakened by what he
took to be an explosion. When he gained
hie sense he found himself In an alarming
position. The floor, probably through some
defect in building, had given way cleanly
as though cut by a knife, right under his
large double bed, which thus had two legs
hanging In the void, the other two being
on the portion of the floor left The bed
waa dangerously Inclined and from It hod
rolled hi wife Into the gul he savlnjr htm
self from a like fate by throwing himself
violently on to the floor on the other side.
He was rescue! by the firemen after stop

the moans and cries of his little daughter,
who had shared her mother's fate, ho was
afterward taken out of the debris with
scarcely a whole bone in her body, dead.
Babe Killed by t.houl.
A poor woman who was found In the
streets of Messina attracted attention
through her strange behavior. At first It
waa thought that her terrible experience
had turned her brain, but it was afterward
discovered that she waa perfectly sane. It
seems that she had loot six children, five
of whom slept In a room together, while
she and a baby occupied a small room near
by. They were all burled arming the debris
of the house, the bigger children probably
killed in the fall, as she heard no sound
The baby fell with her under a beam, but
on her cheat and would have been alive
now had not one of the ghouls who added
freh terrors to the city, angry at not find
ing anything to steal and irritated by tho
crying of the child, which attracted atten
Hon to the spot, brutally kicked It, killing
It Immediately. The mother was afterward
released and finding a friend on the street
poured out her terrible trouble. Tho friend
had evidently been the "poody" of her dls
trlct ami told the poor, credulous -creature
that If she said two beads of her rosary
at every street corner, never repeating a
street and crossed herself five tlmea, her
children, if not yet dead, would revive. So
the poor thing had pursued her pitiable
perambulations for twenty-four hours, with
out food, never stopping for fear of thus
indirectly killing her poor children, long
since dead. 8he absolutely refused to even
sit down until assured by the archbishop
of Messina, before whom she was taken,
that her sacrifice wae in vain,
Reaglo Hone Than Messina.
Conditions in Regglo are worse than at
Messina. It would take the vivid pen of
Danto to give an adequate idea of the
conditions in the sister cities. At Regglo
two-thirds of the population lie under the
debris of fallen buildings, the other third
are in the streets, without roof, without
food, without water, without clothes,
Those fatal thirty seconds caat down all
the conventional barriers set up by society
and reduced rich and poor alike to prlml
tlve men who must have shelter from cold
and clothing and food for his body, and
when he Is deprived of them a sufficient
time he will fight for them. To this must
be addod total darkness at night, only
broken by the fiendish thieves who, having
looted a shop had become possessed of
bit of candle and with It made the round
of the lugubrious rubbish, to see what
they could steal from the bodies of the
dead.
These Jackals, composed of the scum of
the town, are bo bold that their researches
are In many cases conducted in broad day

knives any ono who tries to Interfere with
them. In one case a man, after putting

night he was returning to a shed which he
had found to sleep In when he heard the

money which she had gathered together In
her father's house. The thieves, furious at
the escape of their victim, set upon the
soldier and killed him by kicking him to
