INVESTIGATION ORDERED.

In 1907 Congress ordered general in
vestgation OF the condition of woman
and child workers in the United States.
The Secretary Of Commerce and Labor
was directed % inquire into the industrial
social moral. educational and physical
condition OF woman ana cuud workers
iu the United States. Recently the Zee
port on the causes Of death among HOm-
an and cuild cotton mill operatives was
made public. 10 is Of particular interest
in part. because 10 was prepared on % new
basis. This was the deaths among the
members of this class OF worNrrs cover
ing period OF three years. From II some
striking conclusions were dcdUccd r,ld-
tive to the prospects Of the living. Death
certificates were accepted as establishing
the fact that certain numbers Of women
and children had died. The lives OF these
persons were then studied.
This study was undertaken says Dr.
Arthur r. Perry. who conducted the iu-
vcstigatiOn. "tO secure the most accurate
information oDtaiudblc respecting DO.

dent 10 work in cotton mills. as COM

1T Is necessary 10 emphasize the word

published statistics are sometimes so mis-
leading as wholly 10 disguise the real sit
uatiOn. Thus. this investigation disclosed
the fact that in the cOuntry's largest cot
ton manufacturing city not even half OF
the females VINO had died two years or
less after quitting cotton mill work were
recorded upon the official death c@rtih-
Gates as having been cotton operatives.
Yet il should be little less than obvious
that those who die within so short
period after leaving the work At which
they have spent perhaps, ten, twenty or
even more years must certainly bc iu-
cluded just as individuals long retired
