THE SWEATING SYSTEM.
The Labor Commissioner of Massachusett
Explains Its Workings.

The Labor Commissioner of Massachusetts
Explains Its Workings.
SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 5.-The last
days session of the Social Science con-
vention was devoted to an interesting
line of discussion upon the Sweating
System in Europe and America" The
most interesting paper of the day was
that read by IL. S. Wadlin, labor COM
missioner of Massachusetts, who spoke of
the sweating system in vogue in that
state. He said the system is confined
chiefly to the manufacture of cloth
ing, of which SOS, 900 worth is
made each year, 80 per cent. I'M
der the sweating system. One-half of
the work is done in Mass achusetts and
Maine, and the rest in New Hampshire
and New Jersey. In Boston the work
is mainly confined to finishing, while in
New York it consists in the entire MAX
ing of n garment in family apartments
The amount of work being sent to New
York by Boston contractors is increas-
ing. Among the employees persons of
foreign birth largely predominant. Tho
contract system is not in itself so OBJ
jectfonable, and the evils only occur
when INSCRIPTIONS contractors under
take to do the work for less than living
wages To make profit he employs
men who for wages get a sort
of royalty upon the amount of
work they can drive their slaves
to do in n day. The work is done in
some instances by the piece, hours of
labor are disregarded, and the family
employed eat, sleep and work in the
same rooms, thus saving the contractor
shop hire and factory regulations. In
New York the sweating system has not
passed beyond the germinal stage and
by no means reached the proportions it
has in Massachusetts. The conditions
which make sweating possible are what
it is desirable to remedy, and they are:
1. The method of employment, includ-
ing method of superintendent. > The
status of the work Change either of
these and sweating will be prevented.

The captain is avery interesting char
acter. He is a man of fixed purposes,
very hard to turn from the object which
he has in view. He has made the sub
ject of small boat sailing such study
that he is prepared to meet every argJl-
ment against the risks which spring to
the minds of his critics, yet the New
York Herald put tho case in n nutshell
when it said: 1.-The fact that Capt. An
drcws can cross the ocean in cookie
shell merely proves that small boats are
safe when Capt. Andrews sails them.
Amateurs should remember this when
the wind begins to sing"
The captain himself says that 'hel 4
the people who are drowned lose their
lives because they do not realize that
boat cannot sink. An iron vessel might.
or a ship loaded with q heavy cargo
but row boat, sail boat or ordinary
wooden vessel may capsize, but viii.
nevertheless. float. The passengers on
the great ocean steamers run some risk
when they GO to sea, but all around the
deck they see wooden boats hung up on
which they arc taught to depend for
their lives if the big steamer goes down.
These boats are often crushed against
the great vessel or are capsized in
lowering. l am alone in a wooden boat
entirely under my own control, and, in
my opinion, far safer than others" An
ingenious theory but hardly fair one
