ATTACKS CROWDED PRISONS
Orlando F. Lewis Says Condi-
tions Abroad Are Better.

Conditions in some NJ the correctional
institutions OF the city are the subject Of
unfavorable comment by Orlando +. Lewis.
general secretary OF the Prison Associa-
ton OF New York Mr.. Lewis has just re
turned from a trip abroad where he in
spected forty prisons in Belgium, Holland,
Germany. England and Scotland.
In not a single cell OF the thousands
viewed by me did see two inmates inn
prisoned" SAYS Mr.. Lewis. and adds that a
principle of correctional institutions in Con
tinental Europe and Great Britain is that
prisoners shalfneyer be doubled up. He con
trasts this situation with that in New York.
on the night of September 10 he found two
men in each of four one-cot cells at JEFF
ferson Market court and the prison pen
on the ground floor. with bare boards TO
sleep on. At the sorkivlle night court the
prison was so overcrowded at n 30 p. N.
that in several cells there We're five and six
men. packed so closely that they could lie
nowhere except on the floor. Sixteen ped
lers were in one room
Mr. Lewis says that doubling up" is
customary in the workhouse on BLACKWELL
Island and i'm the Tombs. In the Criminal
Courts Building. he says. sometimes one Of
the detention pens is packed with fifty or
seventy-fve persons.
Mr. Lewis does not lay the blame on
the Commissioner Of Correction. who, he
SAYS. is faithful and diligent in his at
tempts to rectify conditions. hut who is
greatly embarrassed by the absence Of ap-
preparations. " Mr.. Lewis says the Board
of Estimate must recognize that IL costs
money to reduce crime, and that one q the
first principles Of useful imprisonment is
separate confinement

Aldrich achieve their purpose OF appearing
in person 10 make their plea for the pro'ec-
ton OF states rights in accordance with
the instructions Of the Governors Confer
ence Neither the Chief Justice nor any OF
the Associate Justices Is in Washington at

with the practices of the highest judicial
tribunal sought in vain to-day for a prece-
dent on which the Governors might base
tneir application TO appear IN person 10
make their protest
The general atmosphere about the court
indicates a reluctance TO diverge from well
trodden paths. II was only after much de-
liberation that II was decided TO lay
green CARPET instead OF a red one in the dep
uty clerks ofice-red having been the
color for years This task had hardly been
completed to-day when the report came
that the Governors purposed 10 invade the

involving the constitutionality Of state rail-
road commissions in various aspects have
been assigned for hearing early in the
term. If permission should be given. the
attorneys general Of the states in question
could set forth their plea.
No one connected with the court was
willing TO attempt 70 speculate on the pos

'SKATE, IF YOU LIKE, HELEN FAIL TO SETTLE STRIKE
Merchants Society Votes to
Arbitrate Tai|ors' Grievances.
TO CONFER AGAIN TO-DAY
Demand of Employees That Piece
work Be Abolished Crux
of Situation.

NEGOTIATIONS were begun yesterday he
tween committees representing branches
A and of the Merchants Society OF
Ladies' Taiiors and Dressmakers ana the
striking tailors and dressmakers with a
view 10 settlement OF the strike. CONFER
ence was held yesterday afternoon IN the
Hotel Victoria lasting from to b 80 p. H.
put while no definite settlement was
reached neither side would say any moro
than that q settlement was hoped for ana
that another conference would be held ms
forenoon
After a stormy meeting at Terrace Gar
den lasting from $50 p. m. until l CLOCK
this morning. the Merchants Society OF
Ladies' Tailors and Dressmakers voted 10
appoint a committee OF eight TO arbitrate
the grievances OF their employees. There
were great many speeches. and for a
time arbitration seemed an impossible solu-
ton. but the decision was finally reached.
While the afternoon conference was on
representatives OF some Of the largest
firms on Fifth avenue. who are affiliated
with Branch 3 OF the employers organlza-
ton. waited In the lobby. They said that
what the employers most objected 10
was the demand for the abolition or piece
work. Samuel Stein. Of Stein Blaine.
said:
"If piecework were abolished it would
y ork Ia rdship on the best of the workers,
some Of whom can make from $40 to $50
a week In the season. and do not care how
many hours they work. They would have
10 make sacrifices for the others If piece
work were abolished"
When the meeting was over ali hands
came from the meeting room smiling. but
none of the members Of either committee
would say what, if anything, was accom-
rlished. They said that it had been agreed
that nothing that had happened az the CON
ference should be given out for publication.
President Hickson Of the Merchants So
ciety of Ladies Tailors and Dressmakers.
said:
ct has been agreed that a matters
stand now the less said about the situa-
ton the better. There is involved in this
trade a large amount Of invested capital
and a large amount in wages is involved in
the strike. All that can De said now Is that
we are trying TO come 10 a settlement"
He was asked if the two committees were
still on amicable terms and replied The
fact that we are 10 have another confer
ence Tomorrow shows that We are not
fighting. You can draw any conclusion you
like from that The present situation Is a
delicate one and we feel that il is better
st present to say nothing about the confer
ence which is just ended.
Members OF the labor committee said
u lille they would not discuss anything that
had taken place at the conference, the wage
demands did not cut as much figure in the
strike as the demand for the abolition OF
piecewcrk They said that piecework in a
number of non-union shops acted to the
disadvantage of those paid on the weekly
wage system IN union shops.
