RAYMOND ROBINS ON CRIME.
Socialist Says Lack of Work Is Responsible
for Present Conditions.

Surplus OF manual labor in this and other large
cities was directly charged to the reduction OF
salaries in all branches of industry by Raymond
Robins before an audience which crowded cooper
Union last night. The army of unemployed over
running this city and the quantity of workhouse
and prison inmates characterized as results
of the combination of individual enterprises into
trusts.
"A situation is being developed which will lead
to an outbreak between labor and capital, SAID
Mr. Robins. 1.-The conditions of immortality and
crime and the filling of city lodging houses COM
bined with the army Of illegal voters are part OF
the system which began with the combination of
interests and the failure of employers to comply
with the law in the safe conducting of business.
Seventy per cent of the young women employed
in stores and factories of this city robbed OF
their earning power by the long hours of work
and the lack of proper food. OF this percentage
nearly half are either victims of tuberculosis or
are later driven to the worst places in the city
which are allowed to operate because brothers of
such women in many instances forced to vote
for an administration which is controlled by men
who hold the power to befriend the homeless and
unemployed or the lodging house victim"
The worst condition of the unemployed he said
was in Chicago. where children were forced to
work until they too weak to grow to man
machinery and out of work they were forced
10 accept the hospitality of the politicians who
assign them to the Illegal voting jobs.
