LABOR IN NEW YORK.
Union Men Not So Hard Hit by Panic
as Nonunionists

az iNSItGTlSflISIS.
According to p Tecumseh Sherman.
FORMER commissioner of labor in New
York state. 50 per cent of the organ
lied laborers of the state were idle
when the tide of Unemployment was at
Its height. AT the end of March. 1907
30 per cent Were idle and 90 per cent
had been without work for three
months. Mr. Sherman stated that the
proportion of unemployed among non
union men was probably greater and
mat distress among the unemDloyet
was more severe.
L ne need Tor proper distribution Of
immigrants will become more acute
during the coming months" said Mr.
sherman. with the probable renewal
or the Hood OF foreign immigra ton
into New York city there will be added
necessity for proper care of new ar
rivals. New York state has never fol
lowed the successful example of some
other states in establishing n system
OF free employment agencies, and per
maps rightly, for its conditions are
peculiar.
In the skilled trades the labor
unions themselves successfully diStrib-
ute their numbers so long as there Is
su1hcient work in their respective
l.
ably the most efficient, but they have
been fraught with the greatest abuses
ana evils. The recent law placing
them under inspection has largely
eliminated those evils, but has led TO
others 1t is therefore timely that n
commission of immigration has recent
~ been appointed in this state and
mas taken up the study of this proh-
lem"
MI. sherman stated that the sub
stance OF the labor law should be
amended to correspond more closely
with the factory law in regard to the
hours of women. 1T now places M
limitations upon the hours of labor for
women over twcnty-one or of Young
women under twenty one in the Christ
mas season. In department stores
their hours should never be unlimited
Conditions in such stores are as hard
ana injurious as they are in factories
ana there is no reason for the distinc-
ton. While it is true that some OF the
largest department stores voluntarily
keep within reasonable hours, there
are others that far exceed the limits
required by health and humanity.
1T was hoped" said Mr.. Sherman.
that this year would see the pro-
'ASio4' Va Tic Ne" York StatuteS re-
strlcting the hours OF labor for women
IN factories substantially enforced. The
decision of the United States supreme
court In Muller versus state of Oregon
sustaining the Oregon law on this SUBJ
Ject has put an end to all reasonable
doubts as to their constitutionality and
the prevailing Industrial quiet. by re-
ducing the extent of viola tions, has re-
duced the size of the task for the fac
tory inspectors. Unfortunately the
lowest courts have almost unanimously
sustained the defendants in prosecu-
lions for this offense and have made
rulings OF law. from which the prose-
cutor cannot appeal. that render the
statute n dead letter"
