If the fifteen thousand members of the Brotherhood of Tailors now on strike in New York and Brooklyn have forsaken their employment for the purpose of put- ting an end to the “sweatin em, they deserve the support of every nane man and woman in the land. Investigators have reported adversely as to the evil against which the strikers are so vigorously pro- testing, and there has been in recent years @ tendency toward organization for the purpose of removing every reasonable cause of com has, after all, only the faintest sort of an idea as to the awful realities of a system which is grounded in selfishness, and which, b its existence, forces to untimely di a large proportion not only of these toil under its horrible conditions, but also ef those who purchase the garments that no decent person would knowingly wear. Before a New York assembly committee an investigator recently testified that the workers in the sweat-shops were crowded together so,that they had scarcely elbow- room, while the dirt was almost indescrib- int, As able. Some of the corridors and stairways had not been cleaned for months. Toilet conveniences were almost unknown, and in Tone of the tmitations thereof which were Seen was there any consideration for sex. The number of hours of labor was practi- cally without limit, fer the piece-work prin- ciple is the main feature of the system; It is therefore commen for the poor slaves to be steadily 2ngiged from sunrise until after dark. The average of earnings is extremely small, according to the testimony of a num- ber of the employers, one of whom—a shirt manufacturer— said he pays 331 cents a dozen for sewing shirt fronts and collars; R14 cents a dozen for sleeves; 612 cents a dozen for button-holes and 4 cents a dozen for sewing on buttons. Six days of steady application result in the acquiring of a sum of money barely large enough to hold to- gether the bodies and souls of the miserable tren and women, most of whom are natives of Poland or Russia. The strikers now 4e- mand that fifty-nine hours should constitute a week's work, that a minimum scale of wages be adopted—the various workers getting from $9 to $15—and that the em- ployes be pald weekly. On the other hand, the employers—the Contractors’ Mutual Protective Association—insist that if there Is no more plece-work their business will cease to be profitable, for the union would Practically compel the employers to pay a man standard wages whether he was able to earn those wages or not. Cheap cioth- ing is desirable, but there is a possibility of its being too cheap. There should be consideration for the many thousands who, prior to the strike, ard in many cases since that event, have labored daily in the midst of conditions that are anti-hygienic to such an extent as to demand legistative inter- ference. It is to be hoped that the strikers will not weaken their protest by any illegal behavior; if they will regard the statutes wisely made and provided for the preser- vation of order their chances for winning are excellent, for they will undoubtedly have the powerful ald of public sympathy. A single assault upon any of those who are ef the opposition will do more damage to the strikers’ cause than anything that can Possibly be done by the contractors. ——__ see —__ The citizens of Washington responded Teadily to the call that was made upon them Saturday for an economical use of the Potomac water, and, thanks partly to the general compliance with the call of the authorities, and partly to the action of nature, the danger is now happily averted. Once more the city fs on a full supply, and in a few days both the reser- voirs will he running at the Mmit and thenceforth there will be no grounds for fear of a similar scare. Six days supply will then be stored in the two great basins, enough to tide the community over almost any happening that might cause a particu- larly h drain upon the supply. For- tunately there was no great conflagration during the period when the water was low, else the result might have been different. The promptress with which the accident was attended to shows that the force in harge of the aqueduct is ever alert and ready to act. —————— There is considerable doubt whether the law as it stands will permit the Commis- sioners to Incorporate in contracts for work for the District a clause requiring that contracto: must pay to labor the maximum wages prevailing tn the District. It may need legislation to accomplish th much sired object, and it appears prob- able that the committee representing 0} ganized labor will have the help of District officials in an effort to secure such legisla- tion. It is held by the workingmen that such a law would be a safeguard against shoddy work and prevent m abu Lesides securing to the efficient artisans of the District work that would other- wise go in part, if not entirely, to cheap and inefficient laborers brought into the District for the profit of contractors. So much may be urged in favor of a law making this requirement that Congr would probably not long delay favorable action. ~~ 02 The death of the three boys who were Killed by a train Saturday night on the Washington branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was one of the saddest of the many tragic occurrences that have taken plac ently in this region. It is evident that no blame can attach to any of the railroad employes; death came to the ult of thoughtl might perhaps be expected of Youngsters whose minds were at that time full of other matters than their own safet The lesson taught is that of caution. It is ays a dangerous thing to trespass upon a railroad right of way, but throughout this country that variety of trespas veloped into a custom which annually re- sults in a large number of unnecessary fatal casualties. 2 - ___ Out in Cleveland, Oho, municipal mat mst be jn strange hands.

Then the lawyers would so succeed in tangling things up that the wires would remain overhead for many months and maybe years to come, while the public would wonder what an anti-overhead wire law amounted to, and would jeer and point the finger of scorn at the municipal au- thorities. But it really seems as though the rulers of the city of Cleveland were in ear-est when they told the electrical companies to remove the obstructions, so they did not follow such precedents as other cities of prominence—notably the national capital—had provided for the guidance of all well-governed communi- ties. No, indeed; those Cleveland folks simply started a big gang of men at work with axes and other instruments of de- struction, and in a little while there were poles to burn and wires to throw at birds scattered all over the streets of Cleve- lard. As a result of this primitive but effective effort to give force to a law, the telephone and ‘telegraph and electric light companies are now putting down conduits with all possible rapidity; something that would hardly have come to pass for a gen- eration or so had those who are in muni- ‘pal control merely resorted to the meth- ods that are common elsewhere, and to Which Washington is by no means a stranger.
