Interesting Article Written by a Member
Of Atlanta Garment Workers
Union.

The American people are being sys-
tematically defrauded by buying sweat
shop and prison-made clothing. They
are entitled to know under what condi-
tions their clothing is made.
The United States Report on Women
and Child Labor reveals startling condi-
tions under which articles of clothing
are manufactured 1t shows that this
work often goes on in filthy and insan-
itary rooms; that workers themselves
and other members of the family are
frequently suffering from contagious
diseases; that children from five years
old and upward work from twelve TO six
teen hours per day, including Saturday
and Sunday and that the schooling OF
the child is eliminated.
The results of this investigation show
that mems ready-made clothing is often
made in the homes of a class of people
whose under-nourished condition. due TO
poverty and lack of thrift and hygienic
sense. general low standard OF living
and dirty habits, make them most sus-
ceptible to contagious diseases; hence
garments made up in such homes place
the wearer in the way of contracting tu-
berculosis and other contagious diseases
During this investigation 1t was
learned that doctors, who will agree to
conceal disease from the health depart
ment workers who are forced to work
under these insanitary conditions.
Agents of the bureau found women
working on garments while children in
the house were suffering with contagious
diseases. They would put down gar
ments from time to time to minister or
fondle such children.
One home visited had a little boy suf-
fering from whooping cough, and when
he had coughing spell, the mother
thrust her finger down into his throat In
an effort to relieve him. This caused a
slight nausea, and the mother wiped her
fingers. covered with mucous; on the
pants on which she was at work
In another case, where a child's head
and face was covered with loathsome
rash, the mother constantly stopped hef
work on pants and caressingly ran her
hands over this eruption, and without
washing them took up the pants and
continued her work.
