DeplOrable Condition of WOrkwomen In
 Sweat shops in Germany.
 WASHINGTON, April l0.-Max Judd. United States consul-general at Vienna says that after II years of careful con- sideration and patient investigation, the German government has been able to accomplish nothing towards the amelioration of the condition of the victims of the sweating system in the great German cities. Berlin is the greatest center for the manufacture of cloaks, no less than 35, 900 persons being employed in their production, and they are miserably paid. A fair operator earns Sl.44 per week, subject to loss of time through being laid off during the dull seasons. Beginners are getting no pay, and these people receive no sick benefits, being too poor to contribute to the society funds The government has vainly sought to do something to carry out the direction of the reichstag to better the condition of these poor women and it is no wonder, the consul says that many drift into lives of shame
