Master plumbers In Newburgh, N.
j., have declared wal against the mail
order business al applied to their line,
and have refused to handle stock
bought Of mail order concerns. The
decision was arrived at In the ease Of
a mar who is building on Washing
ton Heights. The plumbers said this
man sought for bids for doing the
plumbing and was not satisfied with
the prices. He then asked how much
II would cost to do the work II he
would furnish the materials. The
plumbers refused TO consider this at
all.
They said they are content with a
reasonable profit on their supplies,
but II these are not purchased from
them they may as well go out Of busi'
ness for all the profit they will
make on the wages OF the men alone
The man had sent to Chicago for
his materials and they had arrived
here, but one after another Of the
plumbers refused to touch them. One
reason assigned was that the western
connections were such the local mer
were not familiar with the work.
The man was In quite a quandary
for a time, because to have tent t.
Chicago to bring a man here, or II
fact TO bring anyone here from out o.
town would meal an expense Of a
least $25, this being the sum demand
ed for a license to DO plumbing worl

GOODS MADE IN sWeATsHops.
Workers In Large Cities Compelled to
Labor for Little Compensation.

The average resident OF the small
town or Of the farming district has
little conception of conditions which
prevail among the working classes Of
the large cities. Now and then some
article may appear in a magazine or
newspaper relating to the "sweatshop"
system, but few understand what this
means. II Is simply this: In the gar.
Matchmaking line and kindred indus
tries different articles of goods are
made by contract for so-called manu-
facturers. The sweatshops are found
In the closely crowded tenement dis
tricts, and generally are small rooms
Into which the workers are crowded.
The different garments are cut out at
another place, and are sen to be sewn
together to the "sweatshops" which
serve as a living place as well as a
work shop. Each worker receives so
much per dozen for garments sewed,
and the price is barely sufficient to
pay living expenses. A woman will
work all day sewing shirts together,
and will receive from 40 to so cents
for her labor. Those who work on
shirts confine themselves to this par
ticular line; the ones who sew trous-
ers. the same, and the coatmakers and
vestmakers are all confined to their
particular classes of work. What
they receive is so scaled down as to
allow the poorest kind Of an existence.
These shops are controlled by men
who dispose Of their goods to houses
which compete with the regular deal.
ers throughout the country. Keep
the price Of production at the lowest"
Is the motto Of these manufacturers,
and the result is worn out and miser-
able women and children whose unfor-
tunate circumstances compel them to
thus labor In order to buy food.
Benevolent associations and socie-
ties for the prevention OF crime have
repeatedly tried to break up these
horrible places, but they manage to
exist in every city Of any size, par
ticularly in eastern cities. People
who live In the country a assist In
preventing the operations OF these
shops by not patronizing any con-
Germs which make extraordinary Of
fers in the line Of clothing for men
and women in catalogues and circu.
lars sent through the mails. 1t is
such concerns that support the sweat
shop system. No reputable clothing
dealer handles sweatshop goods. So
therefore the entire output Of the fac.
tories go to the concerns that do a

Race Of Luxury.

Buenos Aires is already one OF the
most magnificent cities in the world.
Enormous sums have been laid out in
widening the streets and erecting
splendid public buildings. But appar-
emily the Argentines are not yet con-
tent, for the Chamber has Just au'
thorized the raising Of a new munich
pal loan of S15,000,0 900 "for the pur'
pose of improving and embellishing
the city" This is probably due to
jealousy OF Rio de Janiero, for the
Brazilians have recently spent a good
deal OF money in identifying their cap
ital, and the Beunos Arrears are de-
termined not to be beaten in the race
of luxury.-London Globe.
