mothers are subjected in the factor
les This is the conclusion reached
by Dr.. Max Schlapp, head of the bu-
reau which was established by the
New York Department of Charities a
year ago for the study of defective
children. DR.. Schlapp's' report of
his first years work shows that he
studied 500 cases and found that in
a majority of cases the mother of the
child was physically and mentally un-
fit because she was an industrial
slave. Ten years in industry" he
says, ruins a woman for marriage

mean that every woman who works in
a factory has defective children. In
some factories the women workers
have decent conditions and reason
able hours, but these are few
