manic Chamber OF the city Hall. The other merr-
bcrs OF the committee. Chairman T. W. Reinhard.

not put IN an appearance al II oc.ock. and II was
r,inored that they had been conducting private
Investigation. from which they had not returned.
Assembymcn wilkes and Stcinbcrg were ready TO
go ON with the Investigation. but they met with an
uneNpectcd obstacle IN the refusal OF a prominent
witness to attend. \ subpoena had been served
upon william q. Thomas manager for ONeill &
CO. the Sixth-ave drygoods merchants. but Mr.
Thomas sent down word that II was pay day at
O'Neil's and he thought IT was more necessary to
nav the girls than to come down and tell the COM
mittee about them.
When this word received at the committee
room Messrs. Wilkes ana Steinberg went to the
telcphone and had a sharp conversation with Mt
T5omas In which they attempted to impress him
with the dignity OF the State and the necessity OF
obeving the committees subpoena. Mr.. Thonds
still refused to come. Asscmblyman Steihprg to'd
him that the State doesn't recognize pay days
"Ir Won don't come" he added. we'll make you.
Chairman Reinhard arrived soon after this and
a.

tory Inspector. Was the first witness. He est!-
mated the number of sweat shops In New ork
city at 1000 and the number OF employees In 'hese
sweat shops at 10000 lie thought that In brooklyn
there are about 800 or 900 proprietors OF sweat
shons and in Jersey CITY l&O.
