Miss Jaynes suggested that before
children be admitted to work in fac
tories they undergo an examination to
prove that they have had proper school
ing.
The speaker stated that while there
is not a sweat-shop in New Jersey,
there are appalling conditions in the
homes where underpaid and over
worked labor supplies the wants of the
bargain-hunter, and cannot be reached
by any law. This leads to immortality
and disease. particularly tuberculosis.
Miss JaXnes said that While Newark
led as an exemplary city, there was
still much to be done: that she had
found the proprietors and managers of
the stores here more than willing TO
provide healthful, humane conditions
for their employees, but that so Ions
as the shopper demanded certain things
they must be supplied. Hence the rem
edy for dreadful conditions lay in the
power of the buyer.
The club will hold its annual meeting
at the home of Mrs. Harry Campton, ,
Lombardy street, April Is.

by the more optimistic reports from the
