THE SWEAT SHOP.
Chicago Citizens Discuss the System Under
Which II Flcurishes.

CHICAGO, March 9.-The swea. shop
and the system that supports it were un
der consideration at Central Music Ia
last evening. Nine speakers, representing
the pulpit. the bar, the State government
and the trade that is most closely identl-
fled with the sweat shop explsined lis
history, its operation, the evils of its ex-
istence and its tenacity Of life and sug-
gested methods of reform.
Among the speakers was Judge NJ. +.
Tuley, who ADVISED working men and
women that legislatures and courts wonld
give them little relief until they should
manifest their power by organization.
Judge Tuley's speech is in part as fol-
lows: ''lf men and women were what
they ought to be, If they treat each OF her
as human beings, there would be no need
of legislation to get rid of the sweat-shop.
i recommend to our preachers that they
make missionaries of themselves, go
among these manufacturers and sweat
bosses and convert them to a Christian
life. / admit they would have hard
job. The only other way is to ap-
peal to the law. That has been tried
"But when / remember the fate of every
law ever passed in this State to amelio-
rate the condition of the common people,
i hang my head in shame. IL passed by
the Legislature, it has gone to the Su-
preme Court and has been declared un-
constitutional The time of our judges Is
spent in raking over the musty laws of
200 years ago. They are not keeping up
with the times. We now talk OF appeal
to federal law and federal courts. l have
not made critical review OF this bill,
but know our federal courts are more
progressive than our State courts. The
court that could net find warrant iu-the
constitution for an income tax could find
warrant for a tax on oleomargaripe. A
court that could And warrant in the con-
stitution to suppress Debs, ought to be
able TO fino warrant for bill to sup
press the sweat shop.
"The oleomargerine law became q law
because II benefited the farmers and
farmers have votes. / say to you that the
power to suppress the sweat shop lies in
organization in your unions; when you
have your unions organized and your
votes under your own control, then you
will get legislation"
The resolution which was adopted by
the meeting is as follows:
"Resolved, That this mass meeting OF
citizens assembled in Music Hall, Chicago,
declares its approval of the purpose now
before Congress in the Sulzer bill for the
federal regulation of tenement house
manufacture, requests the Senators aud
Representatives in Congress from lIlinios
to vote for it and instruct the secretary OF
this meeting to send copy of this reso-
luton to each OF them."

Indeed, more than one thousand names
must be presented within tae next three
days to make the petition effective. The
names already sent TO the city clerk s
office have been canvassed by the board of
canvassers and registration and the total
number qualified as electors was found to

the committee which has charge of the
circulation of the petitions and the secur-
ing of signatures said this morning that

these were qualified. He stated, how

names was progressing rapidly and that
on Wednesday morning there would be
filed with the clerk petitions containing
from one thousand to 1900 names

in would be sufficient TO insure the in

day OF the coming month. The friends
OF The no-licenss movement feel certain

BROAD AS IT is LONG.
George E. Barstow's Side Of the C. H.
George Failure.

That there are two sides TO every ques-
tion has always been an undisputed
axiom, and, according to Lawyer
Stephen o. Edwards, assignee for Georg G
IL. Barstow, IL was never more fully
demonstrated than recently, when GER
tain Iapers and persons have reiterated
that the embarrassment of Charles III.
George q Company was caused by the
failure Of Mr.. Barstow. The same sources
of the Information have frequently en-
phasized the statement that Mr.. George
was on Mr.. Barstow's paper for 5000 or
so. "Now," says Mr.. Edwards, "such
is not the fact. Mr.. George endorsed
Mr.. Barstow for about Si2 coo and in re-
ciprocation Mr.. Bsrstow was on Mr..
Georges notes for ;ll,C00 so 1t Is about
as broad az IL Is long. 1 have hesitated
TO say anything about this, hut am sur
prsed that the matter should not have
teen dropped and 4 even suggested to
Mr.. Georges attorney that IL Is wrong to
permit these misstatemerts To be made.
Unless Mr.. George wants IL to appear that
he failed because he could not meet that
$4,000, 1t seems TO me that he would
have taken pains to avoid giving Mr..
Barstow's assignment rs the cause for his
own. His own statement TO the creditors
ought to show whether what he endorsed
for Mr.. Barstow crippled him or not.
