u. S. Uniforms Made
In Unsanitary Shops

AS a result of charges made by the
Joint board of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers of America, Quartermas-
ter General Henry G.. Sharpe, L. 5. A,
is conducting an investigation into the
conditions under which khaki uniforms
are being made for the army. The
union officials charge that many OF
the uniforms are not only made OF
poor material and with inferior work
manship, but that they are turned out
in disease breeding tenements and
shops where all sanitary and union
regulations are a dead letter.
Walter Lppman. who is an adviser
to Secretary OF War Baker. already
has held one conference with Sidney
Hillman, president of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America.
Great bundles OF uniforms are be-
ing taken into tenements by poor
women, where they are made up in the
midst OF dirt and disease that accom-
pany such state of poverty" said
Mr.. Hillman yesterday. "Diphtheria,
scarlet fever and tuberculosis menace
the soldiers and sailors who get uni
forms from the homes of these an
fortunates, who are forced TO slave
from twelve to thirteen hours q day
in their homes for the miserable
wages the contractors and sub-con-
tractors pay them"
The material usel for many of the
uniforms has been found TO be Of such
a poor quality that the khaki color
changes to a canary yellow on the first
washing.
