Chief Engineer O'Melveny of the Ore

of the track from Idaho Falls to Camas.
This action is made necessary on ac-
count of the large volume of water that

sWEATsHoP EVILS.

speaking OF SWeatSh0DS, Mr.. Camp
bell said there We're about thirty per-
sons engaged in them in Pennsylvania,
mostly in Philadelphia. He thought
the low prices were due to sharp COM
petition between sub-contractors. He
spoke Of the filth about the SWeatshopS
and said he had himself seen clothing
made in the shops infested with vermin
and very dirty. He made especial men
ton Of an investigation into the manu-
facture OF soldiers clothing where this
condition was found to prevail.
Mr.. Campbell declared that generally
the sweatshop people could not be be-
lieved under oath, and he saw no means
of regulating the business short of con-
fscation and destruction where the
conditions were found to be contrary
to law. Mr.. Campbell stated that most
of the retail stores handled the sweat
shop products.
AS rule the manufacturers complied
cheerfully with the laws, and only four
or five prosecutions ever had been
taken.
Mr.. Campbell spoke in general in
ccmmendatory terms of the labor laws
Of Pennsylvania, saying that he had
not advised any change. except in the
laws applying to sweatshops. There
had been efforts to introduce politics
into the labor regulations, but these
efforts had not been successful. The
present Pennsylvania law prohibits the
of children below the age
Of 49, and the witness expressed the
opinion that the limit was not too low.
1t was true, he said, that the employ
nent of children had tendency to sup
plant adult labor, but it was also true
that there were many trades which |
could be properly mastered only by be- |
ginning at an early age.
Mr.. Campbell expressed the opinion |
hat the immigration laws should be |
more restrictive. He was especially Cd !
posed to allowing foreigners to come in |
n droves, as he said they do. He |
bought many people were thus brought |
n who were not desirable. In the mat |
er of convict labor, he thought prison. !
RS should be kept on handwork and
lot given machines.

to secure full statistics Of agriculture
