FACTORY REPORT
Bad Conditions Found By CiUic
Federation Committee.

The report prepared by Mrs. j. Borden
Hartman, of the Civic Federation. and
Mrs Marcus NJ Marks, of the garment
trades, on factories and workshops I'm the
garment trades throughout this city. was
made public yesterday. Copies of the re-
port have been sent by Mrs. Hartman to
the members of the women's department in
the federation in all the other cities, ac-
companied by letters asking for sugges-
tions.
All kinds of factories and workshops in
the trade have been visited. according to
the report both where the conditions were
first class and where they were bad. Be
sides Mrs Hartman and Mrs. Marks, those
who took part IN the Investigations were
Mrs Charles L. Carpenter Mrs. Eugene S.
Benjamin, Mrs. Robert Watchorn. Mrs.
Clement Acton Griscom, jr., and Mrs.
Emanuel Einstein.
II was found, the report says, that condi-
uons were exceedingly satisfactory In a
great number OF the regular factories. 1t
was admitted by many OF the proprietors
of these concerns that II paid them to treat
their employees with consideration. Many
Of them had made a study of promoting the
comfort OF the women I'm their employment.
In sections OF Manhattan and Brooklyn and
in Brownsville, however, the conditions,
the report says. were deplorable, and even
the city and state departments were unable
TO cope with them. The report said that
these conditions were reflected In the type
and department of the employees.
The committee, the report says, has rec
commended to the State Department the ap-
pointment of more and better paid factory
inspectors. Some of the previous recon-
aen.s#f
adopted. The committee, the report says,
came 10 the conclusion that all fitting III
the cloak trade should be done on lay fig
ures instead of using the girls for models
The so-caled tenant factory is strongly
condemned. On this point the report says:
The tenant factory is a building where
seFerai noors are used by different manu-
lacturers, and these particular parts OF
the building may not be used for living
factories" contract out to proprietors OF
tenant factories the manufacture OF gar
ments, the cutting of cloth only being done
IN such factories. In one OF these fac
toT1eS were found several beds, an in
fringement OF the municipal lodging house
law, and orders were given for their re-
movaL. The beds were in an lndescrib ba Die
condition. and were rented to lodgers.
To show when large factories were made
sanitary and comfortable. two factories
which were visited were described One
which employed fourteen hundred persons

Physician Has Grave Doubts of His
Recovery.

birmingham, Mass, Oct 2S.-The ap-
pointnent of an auditor to take charge of
an investigation of the books of the town
was considered by the Selectmen at a meet
ing tonight, and the situation in which
the town fnds itself through the discov-
cry that bogus notes TO the amount of $780,
600 have been issued in its name was again
discussed in all its bearings.
There was nothing particularly new in
the developments of the day. No new for
geries were brought to light, and the Off

progress toward unravelling the skein Of
mystery surrounding the dealings of the
former treasurer, John B. Lombard. His
condition tonight was said TO be very
serious. His physician expresses grave
doubts as to his recovery.

missioners elected Tuesday, Nov. 2.
The oath of office was administered
to the newly elected commissioners

last night, by Mayor Lee, when the
former council adjourned sine die.

commissioners held their first meet
ing IN the council chamber. Com

naming members of the commission.
S. J. Scovill, b. w. Vedder, C. X.

present Mayor Todd promptly called
the meeting to order and read the
order of business as it appears in the
old ordinance book. No business de-
manded the attention of the COM
mission until the appointments were
reached.
Two applications for the office of
city engineer were presented, Geo. l..
Crawford and Lloyd Aldrich. Com
missioner Vedder nominated Mr..
Crawford. no other nomination be-
ing made vote was taken. which
resulted in Mr.. Crawford being un-
animously elected by the commits
Sioners.
For the office of city physician the
names of DR.. Day and DR.. Plumb were
presented. No appointment was made
for the office as well as the remain
ing offices. Mayor Todd stated that
owing to the short time between the
election and the taking up of the
duties of commissioner of public af-
fairs he had not had sufficient time
to close up his personal business and
thoroughly study the charter and be-
come acquainted with the appoint
ments to be made. I'VE are looking

that an official paper be named be-

ENGINEER ANDSURvEYORS HERE

The Denver & Rio Grande railroad
has perfected plans for making still
larger additions to the yards in this
city and for the building of a $4,000
ice house. one-half mile west of Grand
junction.
Engineer II. w. Young, company
engineer, is on the ground and with
his party this afternoon is stalking
out the new surveys for the large new
projects.
Several miles of new trackage are
included in the plans and in the
neighborhood of $4,000 cubic Yards
of dirt will be moved
The building OF the new ice house
is important from more than one
standpoint. 1t means the elimination
of any future trouble in icing suffic-
lent cars to handle the fruit crops as
well as the investment of the amount
of money and the labor which it will
supply this winter, both in the build
ing and in the filling. and all of this
is to the end that Grand Junction
will some day be the railroad center
of the west.
AS is generally known the railroad
company has for several months had
big crews of men engaged in the
local yards laying many miles of new
side tracks, building new structures
and making nurlerous other racidal
improvements and now it is an
nounced that many more big changes
are to take place.
