Charles Warrington III: Read it more carefully, the shoe industry has a whole lotta sole.

First comment. At that time, OSHA did not exist.

Second comment. You criticize that orphans will be out of work. And I am sure you also would argue that they are underpaid. If they are underpaid like you suggest, they will find a more suitable job.

Third comment. Industries do not have souls.

Machines like that suck the living sole out of the shoe-making industry.

When I think of all the orphans that were put out of work by that machine, I just want to cry.

Where’s OSHA when you need it? That woman’s necklace is going to cause her trouble!
