NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-"We have

were the conditions under which we
found women working open to cen

"In Buffalo we saw hundreds Of

/ I'm Utica we found women working

In Auburn, in the harvester twine
plant, we found women standing at big
machines 'spooling' twine. They had
no place to seat themselves for a rest
standing all day, breathing the dust
from the twine that was SO dense that
!, every half hour one girl would brush
another's clothes off with heavy
broom. No provision for carrying
away this dust was made.
"The reforms which we will ask the

will guarantee adequate protection
