NEW YORK TOILERS
What the Factory Inspector
Says About Them.
THE ACCIDENT LIST A EoFUL TALE

I.w That Is Openly Violated in Retail
Stores-Some Facts About the ''Sweat-
ing" System-Men and Women Who
Labor from Sixteen to Nineteen Hours
Out of The Twenty-Four - Sixty-Six
Hours Week the Minimum-Other
Points of the Report.
ALBANY, n. Y, March 7-State Factory
Inspector Connolly viii submit to the leg
islature tonight his sixth annual report.
1t contains a complete list of all the fac
tories inspected, together with mass OF
figures showing the number persons en-
ployed, the total number of each sex, the
number of women under 81 and youths
under is years of age, and the number of
children under 16 years of age. 1t also
gives in detail the alterations required to
to be made in each factory or workshop
and whether or not the notifications Of the
inspectors have been complied with.
Seats in Stores for Women.
About 10 per cent. of the orders have
been complied with and the rest are under
way. The accidents which occurred in the
factories during the past year are tabu
lated and make upa formidable statement
of human woe. The law requiring
that seats be supplied for the
use OF women is obeyed in manu-
featuring establishments while it is openly
and VIGOROUSLY violated in nearly every
retail store in the state The conditions
under which children are employed in
mercantile houses are no better aud in
many respects and places not as good as
prevail in the factories and workshops
where no child under II can be employed.
l-f' Hours in the Sweat Shops"
As to the hours Of labor, the report says
that, excepting in the clothing sweat
shops of New York and other cities and in
the saw and pulp mills in the northern
part of the state, the limit of ten hours is
considered a full days labor There are
very few occasions in other trades
where more than that amount of
working time is eXacted, and then
only in cases of business pressure" In
the 'sweat shops" there is no regular,
stipulated number of hours, though sixty
six and seventy-two seem to be the mini
mum, the lesser number in the better
shops but in all of them in busy times the
hands are required to work as many more
hours as exhausted nature will permit.
Nineteen Hours Day.
1t is not uncommon to meet in them
men and women who have worked from
sixteen to nineteen hours a day for weeks
in succession, and during seven days a
week at that. They lose no time in going
to or coming from their work for sleep or
meals, because all natures wants
are supplied in the dens where
their work is done The children

No Favors for Statesmen.

WAsHIN GToN, March Some days ago
Secretary Noble notified Commissioner
Raum that complaints were made of par
TALLY in the final disposition of pension
cases and Raum explained by saying that
congressman sent requests to have the
status of claims examined, a work that
took much time and, to save a second
handling when the cases We're found COM
plete they We're at once settled-out of
their regular order, working, as Raum
says, a great injustice to others. Secre-
tary Noble now orders General Raum to
keep strictly within the limits of the order
establishing the completed files" system
and to rigidly settle claims in their
order of original application.

No one doubts that DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or of long
standing, because the makers
Of it clinch their faith in it
with a $500 guarantee, which
isn't a mere newspaper guar
antee, but "on call" in a
moment.
That moment is when you
prove that its makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
DR.. Sage's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety nine out of one
hundred cases of Catarrh in
the Head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton can afford to take the
risk of your being the one
hundredth.
The only question is-are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the risk?
If SO, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist SO cents
and the trial begins.
If you're wanting the $500

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Congressman
Springer is still in a critical condition, al
though his family do not believe he is any
worse than he was Saturday. The erysipe-
las, which has confined itself to the left

They Are Running, but Peace Doesn't

INDIANAP LIS, March president Du-
gan, of the sire ct car brotherhood, Satur-
urday morning addre ssed a note to Presi-
dent FrenZel asking reply to the COM
mittee's letter of Feb. 20 demanding an
increase of wages and the reinstatement of
four men who had been discharged for
participation in the strike of the week be-
fore. Frenzel replied that he was willing
TO meet a committee and Monday was set
as the time for the meeting. Later the
conductors on the electric lines and drivers
on the mule lines discovered that men who
had been engaged during the strike were
riding on the cars for the purpose of
"learning."
Took Them Of the Cars.
President Dugan then addressed another
note to Frenzel demanding that the new
men be taken from the cars and dis
charged. Frenzel agreed to take the
new men from the cars, but declined to
discharge them. The change in Frenzers
attitude toward the men is believed TO
have been brought about by the visit of
eX-President J. c. Shaffer to Chicago
where he had a conference with the di-
rectors.
Shaffer Predicts a Happy Ending"
For several days he has been trying to
organize syndicate to purchase the sys-
tenn and it is claimed that he now has an
option upon it, but he refuses to affirm or
deny the report. 1t is also believed an I'M
derstanding has been reached that Shat
fer shall apply for receiver in the event
of another tie up. Mr. Shaffer said Satur-
day: "The cars will continue to run and
the men viii continue to work, and if the
people will wait this matter will find a
happy ending within a few days"

pf the first speeches he had ever heard the
gentleman make was one in favor of q

This closed the discussion and the bill
passed. The pension bill came up next
and some objections made to the commit
tees report by Boutelle melted the remark
from Fithian that it was evident that all
