Everything man and boys wear.
ROGERS, PEET &. COMPANY.
THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY.
II Ranks a. One Of the Leading Industries
of This state.

ALBANY, March e.-The ready-made-
clothing industry in this State Is OF over
whelming Importance, says State Com
missioner Of Labor John McMackin In his
annual report to the Legislature, which
includes the report of the Factory Inspector.
According to the Commissioner II ranks
as one of the leading industries of the State
and the clothing trades are particularly
attracted TO New York. The work of in
spection of this trade, though, has its draw
backs, for the work Is distributed to the
small workshops and family workrooms
in the city tenements. The Commissioner
saws that the main reason why II is not
carried on in large factories is that, as its
II a seasonal industry with months of in
activity, the manufacturers dislike to in
vest capital in large buildings or pay high
rents for factories which may be idle the
greater part of the time. OF the inspections
made in 1901, 90 per cent. of them were
connected with tenement work. The num-
Der of licenses for family workrooms In
force Sept. 30, 1901, was 2s,7S7, Of which
2O,O48 were for New y lork city 1890 of
this latter number being for Manhattan
and Bronx boroughs, 1878 for Brooklyn
and Queens bOroughs and for Richmond.
Nearly 20 per cent, of all the licensed
places are in the metropolis, and somewhat
more than one-third of these (6,94D are in
the lower East Side The increase in
licensed places in the ten months covered
was 1913 per cent. in New York city and
only 81 per cent. in the remainder Of the
State.
The report shows that 846 1927 persons are
employed In factories and bake shops in
this State. The largest number Q6s, ,S42)
is employed in the met al-working and
machine making industries. But the cloth
ing. millinery and lsundrying trades employ

rooms that do not come within the defini-
ton Of factories. The textile industry
employs 90 ,324 and printing, publishing,
bookbinding, &c, 90 ,l76. These figures do
not represent the full siren 9Th Of the several
industries, as not all factories in the State
were inspected within the ten months
covered by the report.
The number of women and girls employed
In the factories inspected was 100 9O<, as
compared with 448,923 males, Of whom
II, SO we're minors Olnder eighteen years.;
the proportion of females was therefore
little above - per cent. Of the entire number.
In the textile. clothing and cigar-making
industries the women oIltnumbered the
men. and there are also many women In
the typographical and boot and shoe max
ing industries.
The number of children OInder sixteen
wears Of age) employed in inspected faCto-
ries was IA, ,sg7, of whom I Pas were boys and
1854 girls.
In the course of the year the local health
officers throughout the State issued 6,s40
certificates TO children under sixteen, but
many of these certificates were for employ
ment in mercantile establishments.

The action of the arbitration committee
in not recognizing the union labor offended

trolls the street railways of Norfolk, Knox
