about 1,100 cases, about 1.800 of
fice Interviews and more than 200 trial
case investigations.
The majority of this work was done
personally by Mr. Thomas, although the
probation officer does not take the credit
for it in his report.
In speaking of industrial conditions
Mr. Thomas states in his report:
“Many women have teen, in this court
on both trial cases and informally that
have frankly toid us that as long as
'.hey were at home looking after their
family they never have a single thought
of being unfaithful to their hnabands
and families, but when they entered the
factories to work the general atmos
phere changed entirely; there they came

women, whose conversation was loose
and vile, little acts of familiarity be
tween the men and women soon under
mined their wall of self-real stance, lit
tic by little they lost the loTe and sa
credne*B of their home, which they be
gun to feel was a drudgery, yielding a
litttle here and a little there until the
wall crumbled and fell.
SPENT MICH
TIME AND MONEY.
“Many factories have spent much time
and spared no expense in providing
, recreation and entertainment for their
employes; this is a most commendable
thing and yet it has had some very bad
results.
“After the days mingling together in
the factory and the employes meet at
night for the entertainments, there comes
another featnre, that of “dressed up”
familiarity. Here they dance and mingle
together becaus3 they work at the same
place and feel that whatever they do is
excusable.
"Married women allow the men to take
them home, and say well ’we work at
the same place,’ and feci they are justi
fied.
“The wearing of the ‘overall’ by the
women has been a wonderful ’safety
first’ for life and limb, but a ‘derail’ to
the morals of many.
“This situation is not true of all the
factories of Indianapolis, but in a num
ber of them.
“Case after case has come from the
same factory and especially in certain
departments. In one or two factories we
have had several of the foremen in as
being the instigators of many downtown
engagements of men and women under
them.”

NEGRO LABORER.
Mr. Thomas also discussed at length
the problem of the negro laborer and this
Is the first time that a county official
has touched on this subject, it is said, in
an annual report.
In speaking of this phase of the indus
trial problem, Mr. Thomas said:
“Another phase of the industrial sita

this department so much work and con

In discussing the dance hall problem,
Mr. Thomas gave the opinion that the
matrons at these dance halls should not
be paid by the dance hall
but should be selected and supervised by
the superintendent of women police of
this city and should be paid under the
license system.
“No matron, regardless of how efficient
she may be, can do her best as long as
