Gen. Booth VindiCated.

LONDON, December co. Cable Dis
patch The report of the committee of
which the earl of Onslow is chairman,
and which was appointed to investigate
the financial affairs of the Salvation
Army as conducted by Gen. Booth, speaks
favorably of his enterprise for the re-
demption of Darkest England" but
qualities the general verdict of approval
with criticism to the effect that too much
cash has been sunk in building opera
tions at the beginning of the enterprise.
AS to the social wing of the Salvation
Army work, the report Of the committee
is almost entirely favorable It says that
Gen. Booth has devoted the money re-
ceived by him solely in accordance with
the methods described IN the book,
" Darkest England" and that he has
faithfully endesVored to fulfill the repre-
sentations made in his appeals for funds;
that he has expended the money in a
ouslnessllke, economical and prudent
manner, and that the accounts are kept
accurately and clearly.
The committee states that it is evident
that neither Gen. Booth nor the MEM
bers Of his family derive any benefit from I
the funds of the Salvation Army on either
side of the Salvation Army work, and
that Gen. Booth has adequately sx-
planned the resources of his personal in
come.
The committee considers that the prop
erty maintained and acquired for s.
ton Army uses is safe in the cont

less it recommends the appointn

10 courtroom and toiled, the brothers
at least, from 6 to midnight.
Winter and summer that room was at
furnace temperature with the roaring
fire they kept for heating irons. They
were pressers of "knee pants at 7 cents
dozen. Each man by means Of this
grinding slavery earned about Sc a week,
and out Of that they paid for that red-hot
stove, eighteen hours IN the twenty four,
and the room rent, which was S. a
month. They carried the knickerbockers
back and forth. In few years these fell
lows will have achieved what they regard
as independence.
A pitiful sight ia the clothing district
was that OF Sarah Zussmsn, a gentle and
mild-faced young Jewess, with four mites
Of children dependent upon her, and no
means of keeping the wolf from the door
but working on those miserable boys
knickerbockers at cents dozen. We
saw her in bare and cheerless room on
the top floor of 20 Suffolk street, the fur
niture and everything salable gone to the
pawnbrokers, and the wan-faced little
ones gathered about her Her husband,
Barnard, lay in the Moses Montefore
hospital an incurable consumptive. He
toiled, too, at boys "knee pants" for the
support Of his family till the vitiated air
and confinement broke him down and
marked him for the grave. 1t seemed
cruel mockery that the young mother
worked, worked, worked with the
strength of despair to clothe other boys
while her own children went in rags and
tatters.
Louis, the grave-eyed baby of eighteen
months, dropped broken bread twist Of
Russian rye-hard rations for baby to
MUNICH on-when we entered, and gazed
with wonder. The larder was empty,
and the woman could do but part Of her
usual work, as within a short time she
was to become a mother. It took her
three hours to finish dozen garments.
Only the friendship of their poor neigh
bors, who collect scraps of bread and give
them to the family, keeps them aliye.

October and November up to a few
weeks of Christmas time in the fall, and
April, May and sometimes part of March
in the spring.
The 'Iboss" said the hours we're from
OF. The others were silent. There
was no leaving the rooms for meals.
Each brought out his paper OF sour rye
bread and stale meat, with perhaps a
piece of scrawny chicken from the pig
market in Hester street as luxury, and
munched the food during fifteen min
utes' nooning at his table. Learners Of
the trade got next to nothing for their
services.
At another shop Of the same sort the
boss" was out, and we found the en-
ployes more talkative. Among their
number was young Russian woman
but twenty years old, and working
twelve hours day. The law makes it
a crime to employ women under twenty
one more than ten hours daily. She was
learning" and it was left to the boss
what pay he should give her.
The operators complained chiefly OF
the lack of work in the off months, by
means of which the sweaters had the
men completely at their mercy. Though
semi-twilight prevailed here all day, nc
gas was lit in the shop, and the sore
eyes Of several Of the workmen told ua
Of the strain. The air was foul-no 40C
cubic feet OF air space for each person,
as prescribed. 1t seemed doubtful il
there were 200.
Have you noticed there are no tailors
on the east side now?" said my cloak
maker friend when we passed out of one
Of these places. "They are all operators,
or pressers, or finishers, or buttonhole
makers, and each person has just one
thing to do on garment, which is very
simple and easily learned. Formerly 9
tailor needed considerable skill, and his
services were in great demand. AS it il
at present, anybody can sew buttonhole
or follow the cutters directions on the
sewing machine, and the clothing maker
is compelled to submit to every exaction
because he knows q hundred others are
ready to step into his place. The only
persons who receive good wages in the
New York clothing trade are the cutters
who, if they are expert, average $40 to $25
a week.
was curious to find out what portion
Of the total selling price Of clothing went
to the men who made it. In a Russian
shop in Pell street, right in the heart oi
Chinatown, where q boss and six en-
ployes were engaged on sack coats anG
overcoats, they gave me a sample
schedule of prices. was shown q coat
that would retail perhaps at $12, to bt
forced down to $40 or S8, if the market
was dull. The man who put this heavy
substantial garment together received Il
cents, the baster 12, the finisher 10, the
ironer 81, and the buttonhole maker 7
total Of 5115 cents-somewhere near
per cent. of its market value. Small
wonder that clothing dealers can sell
their stock on occasions for one-half OF
one-third of the price advertised, and
that at handsome profit.
1t can always be said OF the industry

Especial correspondence to Midlard Mechanic. J
Has it ever struck you that there are
more bankruptcies, failures, losses by
fire and water and forced sales at a sscri-
fee in the clothing trade right here in
New York than in any other half dozen
lines Of business you might name? Not
a day passes but one meets some staring
yellow sign announcing that clothing
house has gone bankrupt, and that the
whole stock will be sold out for song
One-half or a third or a quarter Of it's

sacrifice and sorrow and bitter disap-
pointment enough in the clothing trade,
but it isn't the Broadway assignee " or
the bourgeois mother picking from his
shelves the $1.47 and $3.50 children's
suits that feel these. Up in the dark,
foul rookeries which line Hester and
Essex and Suffolk streets and other ten
ement thoroughfares toll the wretched
creatures who make cheap clothing pos
sible, and their sufferings are the ones
translated into The black letter appeals

and spins up among the lofts Of Doyers
street, an entering wedge for score Of
others to tame the elusive spirit of the
almond-eyed Oriental into the unprotest-

"Since the passage of the anti-sweater
law" said my guide, himself Russian
cloakmsker and labor leader, as we
started out one morning to explore Jew
town, "since the passage OF the anti
sweater law the large contractors have
been driven out Of the tenemenrs, and
those closkmekers who work in factories
are tolerably we'll off as to hours, santa
ton, etc, though the pay is miserable.
But you'll find scores and hundreds Of
the smaller sweat shops existing all over
the east side in open defiance of law.
"The operators often work from 6 in
the morning until Cor 10 at night. There
is no sir or stoppags for meals, and little
girls not yet in their teens take hand
at the benches with the older ones.
These shops are in out-of-the-w way places,
rear tenements or lofts on the top floor
Of some six-story building, and they
manage to evade the inspectors. There
nearly all the garments requiring fin
ishing are sent by contractors directly
to the houses Of families, where husband,
wife and children toll ceaselessly under
worse conditions if anything than the
sweaters"
We entered one Of the narrow alley
ways which pierce the frowning tene-
ment line of Suffolk street, and came
out in q wretched "court" hedged in by
towering masses of brick en- either hand.
Hush" SAID my companion, laying q
warning finger on my arm as I began
speaking. "Do you bear thstY" He was
looking up with intent ears at the smoke
begrimed windows Of the rear building.
From above came low but distinct the
peculiar whizzing and whining sound Of
a dozen sewing machines.
"Come on"
We climbed five flights of stairs and
passed through the Railways of almost
Tartarean darkness, where one had to
grope and feel his way like an explorer
of the Mammoth cave. At the fifth
landing the guide knocked at a closed
door. 1t was opened, and he strobe in.
The room had but two windows, and
We counted sixteen workmen at the
bench or on the machine. They were Of
the black, scraggly. bearded Russian type,
and they worked on stolidly after one
look at the visitors.
The "boss came forward with that
apologetic air which Russian Hebrews
have, and asked our business. The
spokesman Of the party said we had
come to inspect the shop, and gave him
notice he was violating the factory law.
The man was ready with the excuse that
the inspector had given him a permit,
but the paper hadn't come yet, and the
gentlemen must excuse him if they did
not see it on his walls. We knew the
man lied.

Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Cochran have
exchanged assurance of the most dis

than likely that the latter now has
an important commission from the
White house.
At least we hope so. No man on

as ready and witty as Tom Reed and
at least tenfold as eloquent. Besides
he has the air and manner of gen
