More Stringent Law Needed.

The labor unions endorse the anti-sweat-
shop bill and will use every influence to
have the bill pass the legislature. The
labor unions not only favor the plan to
have all clothes made up in sweatshops
SO branded, but they want the law gov
erning the employment of children made
more stringent and drastic measures en-
ployed TO enforce it.
The Society for the Prevention of Cru
city to Children has become interested in
the treatment of children in sweatshops.
and yesterday Superintendent Jenkins, OF
the society, declared that all cases OF cru
city to children in sweatshops would be
pushed with vigor
For the purpose of aiding the proposed
Congressional investigation, and to push
the anti-sweatshop bill in the legislature,
the labor union men have secured evidence
from more than twenty-sweatshop tollers
who worked on the Government clothes,
all of whom will swear that the garments
were put together amid disease and foul
surroundings, and that little children
worked on them day and night

A MINUTES SOCIAL CHAT.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Mckinley
gave sitting for her portrait in minia-
ture, the artist being Miss Gwendolyn
Dunlevy Kelley, of Columbus, Ohio. The
gifted young painter. though only twenty
one years old. has an international repu-
tation and achieved special distinction not
long ago by painting the miniature of
Queen Margharetta Of Italy, for which her
Royal Highness sat in person. Her Majes-
ty was so pleased with the exquisite work
of the young American that she bestowed
upon her a decoration of honor and her
photograph. Miss Kelley is the daughter
of Alfred Kelley, prominent resident of
Ohio and a personal friend of the Presi-
dents family She comes Of Revolutionary
stock and is both a Daughter and Colo
MIA Dame She possesses a valuable col
lection of miniatures which were exhib-
tied at the Omaha Exposition and some OF
her work has been accepted by the Paris
Salon
Mrs. Mckinley intends her portrait as a
gift for the President.
The President and Mrs. Mckinley have a
hospitable habit of inviting friends to dine
with them on Sunday evenings. The table,
laid in the dining room, instead of the cor
ridor, as on state occasions, is not too large
to De nOmeilKe, ana the uecoideiohS are
nearly always in Mrs. McKinley's favorite
floral color-pink.
Such dinner was given Sunday night.
The guests were the Vice President and
Mrs. Hobart, Secretary Alger and Mrs. AL
ger, Secretary Hitchcock, General Corbin
and Miss Corbin, and Mr.. and Mrs. Morse,
of New York.

Want More inspectors.


Mr.. O'Leary further said that there are
sweatshops in New York and that they Will
continue to be here. No such statement
as this appeared in his annual report 10 the
governor He ends his statement by say
ing that he needs more inspectors. He
admits that his present force is not ade-
| quate. Mr.. OLeary further blames the
| city health department for allowing Gov
ernment clothing to be made by women and
children suffering from disease. The work
OF his inspectors is to furnish certificates
TO the sweatshop bosses which Will per-
NIT the securing of a license.
1t is argued by the health board on the
| other hand that it Is the duty of the fac
| tory inspectors to report to the health
! board all places where sanitary laws are
violated.
| The health inspectors yesterday made a
| tour of the East Side 1t was reported to
! the office last night that soldier clothing
and clothing for the people of New York
! were subjected to disease in several OF the
| places visited.
Two of the worst places found were in
Pitt and Delaney Streets.
visit was also made to sweatshops In
Brownsville in the Twenty sixth ward OF
| Brooklyn. There it was found that soldier
! clothing was being made under conditions
| even worse than In New York. 1t was
| found that work was given out 10 poor Wo-
men. who took it TO their homes. where.
| amid the squalor and filth OF foul tene-
ments. they put the garments together.
Herman Robinson, business agent for the
Tai!ors' Union and TeorganiZsr OF the b! sth-
erhood of Tailors, has conferred with some
of the manufacturers who sub-let the Gov
ernment contracts to the sweatshop bosses
and these manufacturers say that they
mean to let contracts TO bosses in the fu-
ture only when it is stipulated that all
work shall be done on the premises. II
this plan were adopted by all the manu-
facturers in all contracts members of the
Federated Labor Union believe that much
protection would be given to the health
of the people.

The Sherwoods Really
Victorious.
LEAD IN TOTAL PINS
But Under Boston Rules
Lose Two OF Three Games,

The second in q series of fifteen games
between the Mccarthy and Sherwood can
die pin teams was rolled last night on the
Sherwood alleys, the McCarthys winning
two out of the three games rolled
The series differs from the general game
at candle pins, inasmuch as the team to-
tails for single strings count for win in
stead of the grand team totals for five
strings, as usually rolled in Worcester.
This method of rolling is practically an
innovation to Worcester rollers, and to
date they have failed to win over the Bos-
ton aggregation of bowlers, except in two
instances, while the BostonNmen have four
games to their credit on the right side
The first match was rolled in Boston on
McCarthy's alleys on Washington street,
Friday evening, March 3. Out of the three
games rolled the Boston men won two
and the Sherwoods one. Last night the
Mccarthy team again won two and the
Worcester team one.
The games last night were exciting from
the start. The admirers of the Sherwoods
predicted good work for their team when
the score Of the first game was announced,
the Sherwoods beating their opponents by
score Of 436 to AT, a difference of 10 pins.
The second game went to the McCarthys
by one pin, 422 to 421. In the third game
members of both teams laid themselves
out for their best work, and made the
highest totals of the three games rolled.
Again the McCarthys came out victorious
by one pin, the score for the total being
ABS to 437.
Members of the Sherwood team look on
the two last games as hard luck, as they
expected to surely win out from the Bos-
ton men on home alleys.
Mccain did good work for the Sherwood
team, rolling the largest total of 20.
Murray of the Mccarthy team rolled the
highest single string Of S. and came in a
good second for highest individual total,
while Mccain lost the highest single
string to Murray by one pin, making 81.
The Sherwood team, had the game been
rolled according to ideas of a match in
Worcester would have easily defeated the
Mccarthy team, making II more pins in
the grand total than the Boston men
The next game will be rolled in Boston
Thursday evening, March 25.
