TINE SWEATING sYs1ex.
Horrible Condition Of Affairs in New York.
Brooklyn and Other Cities.

Washington, March S.-Mr. Daniel
O'Leary. chief factory inspector for the
state OF New York. was before the in
dustrial commission, today. and gave
interesting details concerning the
sweating system in vogue in some of
the cities OF the state. He said the
system was especially followed in New
York City and Brooklyn but there was
more or less of it in Rochester. Utica,
and Syracuse and in other like cities.
In cities of the latter class, however.
the conditions were better than the
former as were the prices also. The
operatives received an average of say
45 cents for sack coats in those towns,
while In Brooklyn and New York the
prices ran from 80 to 80 cents. Even
as these prices. the people seemed to
feel that they enjoyed many comforts
in comparison with what they had ex-
perienced in their European homes.
He dwelt at some length upon the
conditions under which the sweating
work was done in tenements. saying
that in some of the suburbs Of Brook
lyn such as Brownsville. and Dutch
town, and on the east side of New
York City. the conditions were filthy
beyond description.
III went into the work." said Mr..
O'Leary. fun of sympathy for the
people, but it has all passed away.
Their condition is due entirely to their
own habits. They are filthy and dis
honest and have no ambition to i'm
prove the situation" He added that
the women were less clearly than the
men. Mr.. O'Leary also said that many
of the houses were full of vermin and
that one of the great difficulties was to
free clothing taken from these estab-
lishments from the vermin.
Of Brownsville he said he thought
there was no more filthy spot in the
world. not only in tenements them
sevles, but in the streets and in the
surroundings of the houses. 1T is one
Of the worst pest holes on EARTH" was
his language.
( He also spoke of the sanitary condi-
tions about the sweat shop tenements
saying that the sysem was positively
detrimental to the public health. His
deputy inspectors had often found
clothing in process of manufacture In
rooms in which there were children
with such contagious diseases as diph-
iberia, measles. etc.
Nearly all the people engaged in this
work were foreigners. not as many as
per cent. being Americans. The worst
offenders were the Poles. Italians and
Jews. Germans very seldom offended
except In the employment Of child
labor; they were as a rule clearly and
