many plans which were unsuctessfuily
tried of abolishinS sweat shops in New
York. He says that apparently no one
dreamed that the workers themselves
might solve the vexing problem by refusing
to work under such conditions. "Ihree
years ago." he adds. they inaugurated
series of strikes. First they struck against
the task system. which was at the basis
OF the terribly long hours. They had been
required to finish certain number OF gar
ments as days work. instead of WORKING
n stipulated number Of hours. They were
willing 10 work ten hours "A day. they de-
clared. Public sentiment was with them
and they won their strike. Emboldened ny
success and by the fact that law had been
passed regulating the manufacture OF cioth-
ing In tenement houses, and giving speciai
powers over the sweat shops to the Factory
inspectors. they struck again. They de-
handed that the wholesale dealer give me
cut garments only to contractors VINO would
have them made up In shops conforming 10
tho factory DAVIS. Their demands were
granted. with the result that the swea'
shop system, il rot entirely wiped out. cas-
received very severe blow. The workers
themselves. by their own united eror,s. ane
by using that much abused weapon tns
