THE SWEAT SHOP
 IN CONNECTICUT
Joseph A. Tone Makes Ap- peal in the Interest of
 Wage Farmers
TIME FOR ACTION.

Tn an address at the Stratford Methodist church last night. Jos eph A. Tone, labor commissioner, stated that the labor laws of New York, due largely to the efforts ol Alfred F. Smith and Gov Roose- welt, are driving out owners oi sweat shops and many of them are making their headquarters in Con- necticut. He suggested legislative action which will protect the people of the state from this kind of competition.
 MT Tone stated that many Of these sweat shops have opened places of business in different cit ies all over the state, including Waterbury.
 "Once in a great while we find to adhere to our laws" he said. "but a majority of the time they are after 're thing and one thing only, profit"
 Conni-ss. .oner Tone spoke of the number of letters which he re. ceived after he began to study the sweat shop" conditions. In one instance a girl worked 55 hours and received $1.75. In Middletown he said, girl received 40 cents for 122 hours of work.
 "These men," Commissionel Tone said, "are obviously taking advantage of the depression times when there are thousands of un- employed men who cannoty gel work and the women and children of the home are forced to accept positions to provide for the family These women are taken into these sweat shops as beginners and in- formed that they will be paid whatever they are worth.
 After working four or five weeks they are informed that they are not learning fast enough and are discharged with smal amount of pay being informed tha' the inspector has turned down al their work. There is nothing tc stop these men from then sending the goods out as approved as soon as they have discharged the wom. en and hired new one on the same scale. And when too many people get wise to them they jus unbolt their sewing machines ant move to another city"
