PROBE WORKING
 CONDITIONS IN
 NEW YORK STATE
Senator Wagner of Committee Says Those Under Which Women Work Are Inhuman Beyond Belief
Reforms, Recommended to the Legislature, Will Cost Mill lions of Dollars, if Adopted

New York. Sept. 24-.HWe have found oaat conditions under which women work in New York State are inhu- lnfan almost beyond belief ,'' declared State Senator Robert F. Wagner, to- day, discussing the investi gastions of the State factory investigating com n1ittee in predicting that similar or sanizations would soon be organized in every State in the nation.
 The Investigating body was appoint ed immediately after the Triangle shirtWaist holocaust, to probe work Ing conditions throughout the State and. suggest reforms.
 We have found men and women working in illy ventilated, poorly light ed, congested quarters. Partfc ularly were the conditions under which wo- men worked. said Wagner 'sLn Buff falo, we saw hundreds of women, young and old, working in the slaugh- ter house on wet and damp floors, do- ing mans labor.
 In Utica, we found women working in core foundries beside ovens of mol ten metal lifting and straining at heavy burdens with only the poisonous fumes from the metal to breathe.
 Tn Auburn, in twine plant, we saw won1en standing by machinery 'spooling' twine They had no place to sit down for a rest. standing all that was so dense that for half an hour one girl would brush another's clothes off
 s@The reforms which we will ask of the Legislature will revolutionize working conditions in New York. We will demand laws that will guarantee adequate fire protection ventilation. proper hours chairs with backs for all women workers and restrictions as to the kind of work women may do.
 q believe that this commission, the first of it's kind is but the forerun- ner of similar coannni ssions all over the country. The Workfngnen are be- coming awakened and. while am not a. radical believe that the present conditions under which they are work ing is the cause of the present labor dispute.''
 The reforms which include sliding doors, increased number Of fire es- capes, open cocks and fire hose ready for immediate use owners say, will cost millions Of dollars if adopted
