Pinching of Young Worker Leads To Arrest of Knab
I Restaurant Manager State Factory Inspector,
Nelson Declares Against the Familiar Actions.
"Just because a girl peels potatoes
in a restaurant and ddn't know how
to talk English, does that give her
boss, the restaurant manager, a right
to pinch her body as he pleases and
take hold of her as though she is a
paid, kept woman?"
Oscar P. Nelson, chief factory in
spector of the state of Illinois, asks
this question and his eyes blaze with
anger. It is his answer and explana
tion of why he swore out a warrant
for L. Merritt, the manager of Knab's
restaurant at 52 W, Washington
street. Merritt gave bond yesterday
and his trial was set for Tuesday in
the Morals Court
"When a working girl tells a man
tokeep away and shoves her arm
against the man and tries to hold
him off, the man is a prgtty cheap
specimen if he doesn't quit his game
with her," said Nelson.
v "The factory inspection depart
ment is not a morals squad or any
thing like that I am not going to
interfere with any conditions in hotels
'and restaurants, behjtodMtchen doors
