The committee appointed by the New
York Legislature 70 investigate the
sweat shops Of New York has taken a
great deal of sworn testimony that is
a disgrace 20 the metropolis, as 1t would
be to any civilized community. Most
of the employees i'm these filthy shops
are not able to earn more than $3.50 a
week. BY massing members Of a fam
fly and Jumping" the combined
wages. from 50 to So a week are
scraped together. Knee trousers are
finished at from s TO 10 cents a dozen,
and. in frequent cases, according to tes-
timony. women are obliged to work
from 6 a. m. to . a. m. the next day in
order to earn enough to keep body and
soul together.
Attention is called TO the fact that
there are societies that keep a watchful
eve over cruelty to animals, and also
humane organizations whose chiefs
would become almost hysterical should
men be discovered working their
horses 21 hours a day. Yet these poor
wretches have to feed, clothe and house
themselves on $3.50 a week, often
working n hours.
The good name Of the Empire state
must suffer irretrievable disgrace if,
after such testimony the Legislature
has not the humanity to put an end to
these sweat shop horrors.

This bill had been reported by the
Committee on Military Affairs Of the
Senate. OF the nine members OF that
committee. Gen. C. F. Henderson, Of
Nebraska. Gen. John N. Palmer, of Il
Hnois. Gen. Joseph R. Hawley, of Con
nectcut. John L. Mitchell, Of Wiscon-
sin. and Cushman X. Davis, of Mime
sofa. we're soldiers Of the Union, and
they constituted a majority of the COM
miuee. They unQuestionably are as
capable Of judging whether legislative
acts are reasonable rs is Commander
Thayer, of Massachusetts,.
A year after the bill had been passed
by the Senate it was called up in the
House by the Chairman of the Commits
tee on Military Affairs Of that body,
which consisted Of fifteen members,
with Gen. D. E. Sickles, Of New York,
Oscar Lapham, Of Rhode Island,
Charles H. Morgan, Of Missouri, w. w.
Bowers. Of California. J. A. T. Hull of
Iowa. Gen. Newton NJ. Curtis, Of New
York. Benjamin F. Marsh, Of Illinois
(who has rebel lead in his bodyO
Ephraim N. Woomer, of Pennsylvania
(who lost a leg in the Wilderness, all
Union soldiers, and Frederick H. Gill
lett, Of Massachusetts, a Republican,
but not a veteran.
The bin expressed its purpose can
didly 1t must have been favored by
a majority Of each committee If it had
offended such veterans as Gen. Hawley
and Gen. -iclles as it offended Com
mander Thayer on May ?. they could
have rallied majority of each COM
mitree to the defeat Of such treason
and the measure would have persisted.
These are the facts of the case which
Commander Thayer's partisanship or
ignorance has led him to falsify.
A soldier of the Union who has been
guilty of such an offeuse as that Of
Commander Thayer, who will not,
when put in possession of the facts,
make prompt public and humble apol-
ogy to those whom he has recklessly
and fooishly misrepresented and
abused. is lacking the instincts not
only Of a soldier, but a gentleman as
well.
