The corre pondent found him in his parlor, an eight-bv-ten room with low ceiling and pink wash over bare plaster walls. Pa pa nix as sat Just inside the door, silent, upright, stanng straight ahead. His trousers and vest were old but frayed edges were neatly tarked down. A glossyhued four-in-hand dangled from his mended soft collar. Across the room his short, buxom wife talked to him in brittle syllables. Slumped in a rocker, she gazed duily out a window which was framed in net curtains sparkling white from recent laundering. •T have never worked in a cotton mill.” the reporter said to Papanikas Will you tell me about your work and explain the strike to me?” Can’t Explain Strike Papanikas looked toward Steve. Jr., who loaned against the arm of a two-thirds size, imitation leather davenport. Acting as interpreter. 16-year-old Steve, an eighth-grade pupil, repeated the query in Greek. • j have no work," Papanikas replied. “I can't explain the strike. I do not know? why they have it." • Won. what made you leave the mill?” •'Lots of p-xiple made a big noise outside and people in the mill began to go. I wanted to finish my work so I would get my pay. but when the others went. I had to go. too.” -Were you afraid to stay?” He stood up. His eyes blazed. -No. I was not afraid.” Gets Yellow Card Now the man who had sat so stolidly looked more like the dashing figure in the enlarged photograph of Steve Papanikas. Greek soldier, resplendent in white kiits, on the wall before him. -I thought I should do the same as every one else, so I went out,” he added. • Do you belong to the union?” -Yes." -Do you think they will do something good for you in the strike?” He looked puzzled. -Well, tell me about the union.” -I pay 50 cents a month except when I’m not working. They gave me a yellow' card." -What is that for?” "It means no boss can fire me all of a sudden. He must explain to the union officer. And If I lose my job, they will get me another." Credit from Grocer "How are you going to get along row without pay?” Have you any savings?” "I had one week’s pay. $7. I have a little bit left and the grocer 1 deal with for one year gives me some credit.” With the $7. wages for part of a thirty-hour week. Papanikas had to support himself, his wife. Steve Jr, 14-year-old John, and 4-year-old E!enia. His rent is $4 weekly for parlor, bedroom, kitchen and a rear room for which there is no furniture. The tenement is heatless save for a kitchen range fed by wood foraged bv the boys. It is lighted by gas supplied through a quarter meter. Grocer slips dangling from a wire hook in the kitchen gave the clew to how the mother, who does not work in the mill, maintained this family on less than three dollars a week The slips showed many vegetable items—string beans, pea beans, tomatoes, potatoes—and corn oil iamb flanks and rice.
