Group in front of Office Steps. Boy on left end (in front) ran away when I tried to get his name. A companion said, He ain't got no time to sell postals. He got to go to night school. Another said, His name is Jo Traain and [he] lives on West St. Three others of the smallest in front are: Andrew Stefanik, 4 Exchange St. (very young), a spare boy has worked 9 months there. At 1 P.M., Mr. Hine saw his going away from the mill and followed him up town. He said, Boss laid me off for a day. He does that sometimes. Then I bum around town. Joseph Mile, 80 Tremont St., In spinning room 1 and 2. Joseph Maslak, 34 Front St. of 3 Depto St. Works in Cloth Room. Last night he gave me his name as John Mak. To-day he corrected it. Location: Chicopee, Massachusetts.
