Objectionable to Senator Penrose,

WOMEN IN POLITICS WILL
BRING REFORMS.

Women S entry into politics IS
likely to bring about many re-
forms that affect the public wei
fare. Through their club work
they have been able TO carry ON
important Investigations that will
lead to united effort within party
lines. and the Democratic women
can be depended upon to lead, as
always, in efforts that spell real
progress.
IN New York City recently the
subject Of tenement house work
has been brought up for discus
sion through surveys made by the
Women S City club and the
Men s City club. During the war,
while public attention was divert
cd from many everyday problems
the number Of houses i'll which
piece work is done increased
greatly, and according to statls-
les there are now 1929 of these
tenements in the State OF New
York, 15,169 being in the heart
OF the great city.
It was discovered that among
the home workers were numerous
children under IA, who helped IN
pasting dots on wells, in making
artificial flowers and cmbrolder-
ing blouscs. In some places,
twelve per cent of the workers
were children, who receiye l3I
cents for swapping twelve gross,
while carding hooks, and eyes
commands 4 to censt per gross
of the cards when finished. Tag
stringing, another, occupation en- /
ploying boys and girls brings III
cents a thousand tags.
AS the families earning these
miserable pittances must dwell III
the most unhealthful surround
ings. much illness Was discovered,
tuberculosis being prevalent ana
influenza widespread. While the
children work on what their linn
tied capacities permit them to do'
the parents are engaged at the
of clothing. Although for
years women's organizations have
waged persistent warfare against
sweatshops, the evil has been so
wei established that it has not
been eradlcated.
The two city clubs have out
lined provisions to be lncorporat-
ed in a bill to do away with the
use of tenement houses for manu-
featuring, altering, repairing or
finishing "any article whatso-
rvcr." and in the future Women
who will be deeply concerned III
that will make the
world better place to live IN,
will think also of their RESPONSE
