I'm in entire sympathy with your feelin's against speeders and such I'd be a constable if I was in your shoes but this is a gentleman's car and runs like one. "All Jonadab said was 'Bosh! and 'Humph! but he couldn't help actin' interested, particular as Mrs. Bassett kept him alongside of the machine and was so turrible interested herself.
I'm off to-morrow to Mile 135. Torrance says the ticker is set up there. I want to talk to Saskatoon." Constable Williams shrugged his shoulders. "Those speeders were up to something they're not telling Saskatoon or any one else that we're apt to get any information from." "That's what I'm going to find out. They couldn't go far without being seen, and they'd have to stick to the railway.
They receive about thirty per cent more wages, and the management receives from the speeders nearly twice as great an output as before. Mrs. MacDermott's wage as a teacher has been raised to $12. From the speeders, the doff boys send the roving called fine roving in the mill, because the other rovings in preceding operations are coarser upstairs in the older building to the spinners.
There are three kinds or stages of twisting and winding roving on these machines, and at the last, the "speeders," women are employed. Up to this point all the workers have been men. These speeders are in the carding rooms, which are large and high, filled with great belts geared from above, and machines placed in long lanes, where the operatives stand and walk at their work.
The highway from Bridgeboro was a broad, smooth road, a temptation and a delight to speeders, where motorcycle cops lurked in the bushes hardly waiting for cars with New York licenses. It was late in the afternoon when they reached Baxter City and here they turned into such a road as Charlie vowed he had never seen before.
The roaring putter was rushing back toward them at a speed that sounded foolishly desperate. "There's no sense in going like that," he said irritably. "I wonder what they were doing. I'll find out." He ran into the darkness and stood on the track between the rails, flashing an electric torch toward the approaching speeders. But they came on without a sign that they saw. He shouted.
Scrambling to his feet, Mitchell turned to look at the man whose strength and quickness had saved him from a nasty accident. "Much obliged, Captain Miller," he said. "I owe you a great deal." Miller stooped over and picked up the detective's hat. "Why don't you chaps arrest such speeders?" he inquired, pointing to the vanishing car.
From the east drifted a purring sound that swelled with startling speed. Faster than their thoughts, it grew to a roar. Helen was alarmed. "Only gasoline speeders," he explained. "You must ride on one. Torrance has a rather grubby specimen. They're the wildest form of slimpsy-skimpsy flight you ever saw.
Concerning the health and conservation of the strength of the women workers in the mill under Scientific Management, the task of the speeders and of the women at cloth inspection tired the girls no more than it had before.
It is a very cunning mechanical appliance, too, and has found favor to a great extent in England, where several thousand heads of drawing and speeders are already supplied. This invention was exhibited at the Centennial in 1876, although in a somewhat crude state. Since that time it has been materially improved, and mechanically is very nearly perfect now.
