1t is cheaper to build one building
having 1000 square feet of floor
space than two buildings having 500
square feet of floor space each. In the
latter case the labor is vastly increased
also in the amount of lumber required.
1t follows, then, that the most econom-

little, he said, and whenever it would

with strange signatures upon it.

that their names were not in the contract

tion get the most of their bread and confec-
tionery from the bakeries either directly
or indirectly. The investigation has been
conducted by several inspectors deputized
by the Labor Commissioner, and this
movement has been kept up by the bakers
unions.
Under the past system of conducting the
places where -four and meal foods are pre-
pared the methods were anything but ap-
petiZing. Many places were found where
not the slightest attention was paid to
sanitary conditions. Sewerage, ventila-
ton ana hygiene were the least thought
tions have been improved upon little,
but they are far from perfect to-day. The
habit of com pelling the employees 10 sleep
in the bakeries, in fact in the very apart
ments where the food was prepared, has
been abandoned since the inspectors ex-
pose.
The interest OF the employees in these
matters is very apparent, but none had
the courage to protest until the bakers
unions took hold OF the case and followed
up the first investigations made by the
Labor Commissioner. The unions in
terest has caused not little ANNOYANCE to
the union men. A numb of the latter
have been discharged by their bosses be-
cause the latter suspected that the in
spectors attention was called to certain
places by union men. At least that is the
only reason the discharged employees sus-
pect.
AT present the union is not strong
enough to make an open fight against this
suspected injustice. Secretary Grassmann.

Engagement Announced of Viii.

Sadie Hecht.
RARE BEAUTY OF THE BRIDE
Happy elimination of Romantic
CourtShip Begun Amid Old.
World Scenes.

An interesting engagement to announce
is that of William Gerstle, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Gerstle, and Miss Sadie
Hecht, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. M. II.
Hecht
The engagement was made public yes
te rday and the young couple were kept
busy all day answering the congratula-
tions that were fairly showered upon
them.
In addition to the high social standing
OF the contracting parties, and the moving
influence on the commercial world of the
families they respectively represent, their
engagement has excited further interest
for the fact that it is genuine love match.
From time immemorial young and old
alike have manifested strange but sweet
interest In true love story, and the par
ties thereof have possessed for all an inde-
Unable fascination.
The love story of Miss Hecht and Mr..
Gerstle began when the fair fancees sis
ter, Miss Hilda Hecht, was welded to
William Gerstle's brother. Marcus Gerstle
That wedding was one of the events in
the social history of this City. 1t was
solemnized at the Temple Emanu-El some
three years ago. Miss Sadie Hecht was
the maid of honor. William Gerstle was
one of the ushers.
Public and press alike commented
upon the fair young beauty of the maid of
honor. Her gown was fashioned after a
rare bit of Dresden china, and the effect
was most beautiful.
After the wedding Mr.. and Mrs Hecht,
accompanied by Miss Sadie, spent several
years abroad. Young Gerstle was not
long in following them, andsthe courtship,
began amid scenes of Old World splendor
and beauty. eliminated in the engage
ment announced yesterday.
Mr.. Gerstle is actively engaged in COM
mercial pursuits and is interested in
the Alaska Commercial Company, of
which his uncle, Louis Soss, and his
father, Lewis Gerstle, are the largest stock
holders.
In addition to her great personal beauty
Miss Hecht is justly celebrated for her
various talents and accomplishments.
She was educated in Baltimore and excels
as llnguist and musician.
No definite arrangements have been
made for the wedding, which will prob
ably be celebrated early in the fall.

who is one of the inspectors, stated yes
terday that he had been misunderstood
with reference to boycotting the boss bak-
ers who took summary course with the
suspected employees. He said that all
that would be necessary would be to let
the people know of their unclean shops
and that this will be all the boycotting
necessary.
The union is by no means idle in this
matter, and is no doubt preparing plan
of retaliation upon the offending bosses.
What this plan is the leaders refuse to
divulge.
There are few moves in preparation
that are known which will work great
reform in the trade. At present the con-
dition of the bakers is anything but envi-
able. Instead of living they simply
exist. The hours they labor are unreason-
ably long, they are compelled to work
among filthy surroundings and their pay
hardly keeps body and soul together. In
other words the bakeries of this City, or
the majority of them, are run on sweat
shop principles. When the next Legis-
lature meets a strong effort will be made
to secure the passage of law similar to
that enacted in New York in 1895
Under that law the hours of labor are so
regulated that each workman cannot
work more than sixty hours week and
only ten hours day. No employer can
ulscHarge an emplOye LOT giving al IN
spector information concerning a bakery.
The law makes it compulsory upon the
part of the bosses TO have the places where
flour and meal foods are prepared and
made kept well drained, we'll ventilated,
with floors of cement or tiles, walls white
washed at least every three months, in
fact, kept in a perfect sanitary condition.
The sleeping-rooms of the employees must
be separate from the workrooms. There
are official baking inspectors on duty all
of the time to see that these regulations
are complied with.
In the effort by the union to secure the
enactment OF a similar law il will have the
support of the Labor Commissioner. That
such a law would work a revolution
among the local bakeries goes without say
ing. 1t would compel large number of
boss bakers to go to considerable expense
in renovating their premises, but the pub
lie in gen eral, and the employees in par
ticular would be greatly benefited. I'm
der the existing circumstances the relation
between the bosses and the unions is not
the most pleasant, and there is no doubt
but that it will be worse before it is better
Should it become too badly strained be-
fore the proposed law can be passed the
other labor unions may take a hand in the
fight and make matters interesting to the
offending bosses.

Theaters, and Will Go on the

The trainloads of hotel men who have
been seeing the City and other points in
the State, returned from Monterey, Santa
Cruz, the Big Trees and San Jose last
evening. About a third of the 400 guests,
composing the New York delegation, left
a short time afterward for their homes.
The others are yet here. Last night half
of them went to see the sights in China
town, while the other half went to the
Tivoli and other theaters. About eighty
of the hotel men are at the Grand, twenty
five at the Lick, and the others, with the
exception of five or six, at the California
and at the Palace.
At 10 o'clock this morning the hotel
men, accompanied by the committee of
hotel men here, will go aboard either the
Ell Captain or Bay City for cruise around
the bay. They will see all the principal
places of interest and will partake of
sumptuous luncheon on board.
About o'clock they will return and,
going to their hotels, will take dinner,
and then at 8 o'clock will step aboard their
elegant cars and leave the coast behind
them.
The hotel men say they have enioyed
themselves in an unequaled way on the
trip just ended. E. w. Hadley, the hotel
proprietor of San Diego, who was with

Last night Health officer DR.. Lovelace,
Drs. Hart and Williamson and Secretary
Godschaux of the Board of Health, and
Market Inspector Davis and Morton Hart,
visited a mum Der of underground bakeries.
The party was piloted by Secretary Otto
Grassmann of the Journeymen Bakers and
Officer NJ. F. Joy.
They first inspected the Partisan
bakery, kept by G. Richert, at 304 Mont
goInery avenue. The place was found in
a bad condition. The bread-makers,
stripped bare to the waist, perspired over
the patches of dough in the hot baking
room. They never stopped as the visitors
crowded into the place, but kneaded away
harder than ever. The whole apartment
was damp and moldy, except, of course,
near the oven.
The bakery of F. Favilla at 1903 Stock
ton street was found in still worse condi-
tion. 1t was a basement also and ada
cent to the kneading-room were several
closets as filthy as they could be. They
looked as if they were being flooded by a
leaking sewer. The roofs hung with cob
webs and an offensive stencil came from
the dark, moldy apartments, where
wood, flour and Stops were kept.
S. Paganini's place at 1413% Dupont
street had a water-cioset close to the
doughpans. He was ordered to put his
place in better sanitary condition.
The bakeshop of W. Schoene at 637
Broadway was found surrounded by often
sive closets and sinks. Old refuse barrels
stood close to the tables where the men
worked. He was given week to clean up
the place.
A number of other baking places were
inspected, and while some of them had
been cleaned and whitewashed, many
