Bad Condition of Workers. With its textile mills, munitions plants, metal manufacturing estab- lishments, oil refineries, automobile and aeroplane factories, New Jer- sey ranks as one of the most im- portant industrial states in the east. The workers in these industries are almost entirely unorganized. Low wages, long hours, industrial haz- ards, wretched working conditions, combine to render the lot of New Jersey workers bitter in the ex- treme." Child labor is rampant. Thousands of women worker many of them mothers of little Shildren, toil on day and night shifts for mis- erable wages.
