Excerpt from Behind the Scenes in a Restaurant: A Study of 1017 Women Restaurant Employees

Believing that one of the most satisfactory sources Of information in regard to labor conditions is the word of the workers themselves, the Consumers' League de cided to base its study mainly upon interviews with restaurant employees. One thousand and seventeen women were interviewed in New York City and 'in six Of the larger cities Of the State. They were seen in their homes, at their places of employment and through employment agencies.

In New York City all the interviews were held at the Occupational Clinic of the Board Of Health, where, through the courtesy of Dr. Harris, Chief of the Bureau of Industrial Hygiene, a room was set aside for the use of the League investigator. In response to a requirement Of the Health Department, all food-handlers in the city come to the Clinic for a physical examination and cer tificate testifying that they are free from communicable disease. The investigator could in this way meet the women on neutral ground when there was no temptation to conceal or distort facts, and talk confidentially with them. The interviews taken at the Clinic in five months would have required at least a year to get in any other way.
