IT the Chicago City Council is looking
for practical fields OF reform. It should
turn Its attention to the swentshOps.
These institutions Of modern slavery
are existing In direct cOntravention of
all law, human ana divine. The Illinois
Federation of WOmens Clubs have
found out u condition Of affairs exist
Ing In connection with these institn.
tlons that is simply appalling.
The members of this organization
have found men, women ana children
tOiling In badly lighted. foul.snelling
rooms for pay barely enough to buy the
necessarles of life. The children are
among the worst of these sufferers. ana
the majority Of the children are under
age ana employed In this work In direct
violation of the factory law.
There are $4,000 persons grinding
out their lives In this miserable fashion
In the power Of the sweatshOp harpies.
Just think Of 1t, Aldermen Of Chicago.
Forty thousand white slaves In u city
for the municipal government of which
you are held responsible.
These OverwOrked and slavc.drivcn
people are at the mercy of the propric-
tors Of 1000 institutions established
and operated by an army of blood
sucking shylOcks, who are amassing
fortunes out OF the sweat and marrow
of the observation-disclosures of I'M
fOrtunates who. by cruel circumstances,
happen to be placed ut their mercy.
Not only are the victims of the sweat
shops overwOrked, but they are also de-
prived of such necessarles of life us
common cleanliness and fresh air.
One Of the members OF the WOmen's \
Club, in describing the condition OF
these pesthOuses, said:
There Is no air In the rooms of the
average swcatshop. They have not been
opened for weeks. and the air has
been brcathed out long ago, All that Is
left Is smell"
Now, there Is existing In this state
legislation governing these institutions,
ana the Aldermen of the city of Chicago
are hereby respectfully asked by The
Eagle, Why Is 1t not enfOrcedy
The law provides that the shops shall
he kept In sanitary condition, ana that
''no child under II years of age shall
be employed in any manufacturing es-
tabllShm"nt or factory or workshop"
These provisions of the law are con
linually violated by the owners and
operators of the sweatsh0ps.
II the statement Is doubted The Eagle
will prove its truth by furnishing Il list
of the names of the yiolatOrs. This,
however, should be hardly necessary,
for The city has efficient officers, who
are well acquainted with all the facts,
There is little use in having good fac
tory inspectors, however, If their re-
ports are not acted upon.
The people should see to it that their
representatives In the Council bestir
themselves In regard to this matter.
