IN THE NEW YORK SLUMS.
Conditions In the SxveatshOps on tn
East Side.

East Side.
At the afternoon session of the industrial
commission yesterday Mr.. James P. Rey-.
nolds headworker of the University Settle
ment of New York. testified as to the re-
demption of the slums Of New York city.
to which purpose the society Is devoted
The society's building In Edrdge street,
Mr.. Reynolds said, is now largely surround
ed by Russians. Poles and Roumanians
but he thought these were gradually being
crowded out by Italians as the Germans
were earlier. and the Irish by the Germans
He said that the children Of the quarter
manifest a disposition to become ashamed
of their parents, and not all of them were
disposed TO adopt the trades of their
fathers.
Mr.. Reynolds also contributed considera-
BILE information concerning the sweatshops
of the East Side. He said that garment
making is pursued largely in that section in
private apartments, and that it had degen-
Grated in recent years. He attributed several
recent failures of large establishments to
the Sweatshop competition He had in
vestigated one instance of 125 workmen.
four of whom were working regularly twen-
ty hours per day, six Of them eighteen
hours and others less time, ranging down to
ten hours per day.
In cases of long continued daily service
the wages were not increased commenSu-
rateiy with the time put in by the workers.
III many cases the work rooms used as
sleeping apartments, and many of the quar-
ters are in insanitary condition. He
thought that in measure the neglect Of
sanitary regulations due to lack of
early training, but also attributed much of
1t to overcrowding. This was especially no.
ticeable among the Italians. The witness
said the force of inspectors under the state
law was inadequate, and there had been
complaint against the too strict enforce
ment of the law because of the danger of
compelling the removal of workers to other
states. There had been charges of corrup-
tion against the inspectors, but the charges
had proved to be unfounded.
Describing the condition of the shops. Mr.
Reynolds said that there was much typhus
and also much tuberculosis in these places
Garments were often thrown upon the dirty
floors, and when Governor Roosevelt, who
Investigated the question, visited the quar-
ter he found the goods stored in a back
room occupied by man in the last stages
of tuberculosis. The witness expressed the
opinion that four-tifths of the garment
work in New York is done in the sweat
shops. An establishment on 9Th avenue
was as apt to employ these agencies as
places elsewhere. and the style of gar
ment Was no guarantee against the place of
its manufacture.

PARIs SNOW rs oPENEp.


Though several Of the buildings OF
the exhibition at Paris are far from
completion, the great worlds fair was
opened Saturday. Sunday was origin
ally selected. but the representatives
Of the governments and exhibitors
from the United States protested
against the dissertation OF the day and
the managers yielded to the demand.
The preliminaries have furnished the
full share OF drawbacks. First, Ger
many was slow to respond to the in
vitation to take part. Since French
pride was Inundated by the march OF
the victorious legions OF Germany into
Paris thirty years ago the conquerors
have twice been ignored in the requests
made to the world to participate in the
colossal exhibitions in the capital Of
France. At last. however. Germany
will be represented in way that viii
appeal to the pride of its people. The
kaiser will be among the guests, and
more Germans will patronize the show
than those sent out by any other for
eign nation. The second setback was
the siding of France with Spain in our
war with the latter. While the gov
eminent observed neutrality, the peo-
pie were openly and defantly our enc
mics. II looked for a time as IL the
bitterness thereby aroused might pre-
vent the United States from making an
exhibit at all. But the decisive ending
Of the war brought Freedmen to their
senses and led to a restoration OF ths
good feeling that has existed for over
a century between the two countries.
The present war in South Africa
ranged France against Great Britain.
and the resentment 1t gave birth to
came near shutting out the latter
power from the exposition. Only for
the sagaciousness OF the prince OF
Wales in frowning upon such a boycott
Great Britain would have held aloof
from the show. But the royal inter
position saved Paris from such a cost
ly blunder and thus what threatened 70
be a severe blow Is happily averted.
