Wait a moment. We have heard of the laborers in India. Italy. and China. the pauper laborers of the world. receiving from 8 to 10 or 12 or 15 cents per day. but wre are left to the census of Massachusetts of 1885. as quoted by the distinguished president of the Womans National League. for the information that the women of Massachusetts receive 1O cents per day. In the use of the word "quoted" there may be a misinterpretation or a misunderstanding. Just before there I quoted the entire passage from the memorial. The memorial says: In volume 2. page 215. of the Massachusetts census for 1883. the following startling confession is recorded: "During the year ending June 30. 1935. 15.538 women were furnished with work at home. and the amount paid to these women for the whole year was $514.362." That is the end of the quotation.
