English Woman Inspectors.

The English authorities are agitating
the question of appointing woman lac,
tory inspectors who shall be acquainted
with the modes of life and the occupa-
tions of women workers in the factory
districts. The work.of the factory in
spector is not an easy or enviable one.
The very people in whose interest the
inspector labors toward correcting ir-
Irregularities, unsanitary conditions, ana
oppression on the part of the masters
do everything in their power 10 pane
and hinder his work Of investigation,
and when prosecution Is undertaken to
deny the alleged facts OF discovery.
For this reason it is determined to try
the experiment of women inspectors to
see if the workers will not cooperate
with them, for it is claimed that such
cooperation would entirely do away
with existing factory evils.
