THE SWEATING EVIL Results of the Investigation Made by Congressional Probers. WRETCHED STORIES VERIFIED. Hotr Disease Is Spread and Children Made Beasts of Burden. PHILADELPHIA AND CINCIHN1TI WOEST "WASHIJTGTOjr. Dee. 2L The subcom mittee of the House Manufacturers Com mittee, which is investigating the "sweat ing" system, this morning gave a hearing to several witnesses from Brooklyn and Xew York. It was shown conclusively by the witnesses to-day that the evil was not diminishing in any of the large clothing centers, with the exception of BoBton, where the State laws have been so effectively enforced as to lesson it to a great extent. Philadelphia and Cincinnati were stated to be the great centers of the country, where the system was most prevalent and where the conditions were most unfavorable, from a sanitary standpoint. Representative "Warner, of Hew York, the chairman of the sub-committee, who has just returned to "Washington, after a thor ough investigation of the working of the system in the cities of Sew York, Chicaeo and Boston, on being asked how the condi tion of Xew York compared with that of the other cities, said: 3Ir. Warner's Tlews. "Ihey are so similar as to be scarcely dis tinguishable, except as modified by the dif ferent conditions of the several cities. In Chicago, for example, this sweating busi ness is carried on in quarters where the streets are practically bottomless and the buildings are rotten and disgusting, as well as inadequate and unfitted lor buman occu pants. These buildings are generally frame and two stories In height with basements generally below the sidewalk. HeaA there is nothing like that possibility of crowding there would be in quarters more closely and substantially bnilt up. Tne conditions of the 'sweating industry there, however, are as disgnsting, and the liabil ity to contacious and epidemic diseasesas creat as in 2few York. In Boston, the in dustry seems to be carried on exclusively In extremely old but lairlr substantial buildings in the most crowded quarters, so that while the municipal conditions are bet- ter, the result is an even greater liability to contagion in the more limited area covered. In New York the streets are, as a -whole, much better paved and cared for than in Chicago, and much more spacious and af ford more breathing room than in Boston. "While the tenements in New York are on the other hand, far more like human hives than those in Chicago and Boston, they are more recently and solidly built, and there fore, on the average, much less squalid and uncomfortable. The human conditions are practically identical, and the general result varies only by essential and local condi tions." Local Authorities Powerless. "What do you find to be the attitude of the local autfiorities?" was asked. "One of prompt co-operation in every case, and one ot frank admission that the evil was beyond their power to handle. "As to dangerous contagion there is equallv little distinction. In Chicago we saw the scarlet fever signs posted up, where the 'sweating system had been car ried on, and in a neighborhood where it was still being prosecuted. In Boston we stumbled into a room with the disease, while the household manufacturing of clothing was going on. It was not occupied by the same family, but it opened upon the same corridor. In New York one of the most typical instances was where we found poor wretches working, under the most filthy conditions, at 10 o'clock on Sunday night, when in the next block to them the typhns had broken out only last summer. "The members of the committee arrived here yesterday," continued Mr. "Warner, "and exnect that they will complete the tak ing of testimony to-day,and then it will make its report at the earliest possible moment" "What is the general result of your in vestigation?" was the next question. As Bad as Represented. "We have," replied Mr. Warner, "veri fied not merely as instance, but as a gen eral condition, the worst that has been al leged. But, with one exception, we have met with no proof of immorality, and speaking for myself, I bave the greatest re spect lor the manliness and the womanlintss of the persons employed. From the testi mony taken, we find repeated instances where, at 9 and 10 o'clock at .night, the operatives were still continuing their work. They had begun their work at 5 or 6 a m. and the so-called 'Sweater' or boss worked along with them, bringing work for them the next morning. It was not unnsual to find eight or ten people with their machines, tables, etc., crowded into a 12 by 15 foot room. In the majority of the cases the living room of a family was connected with the shop, and garments finished and unfinished were scattered about indiscrimi nately. "Ot child labor I personally saw but few Instances, bnt I did see a little girl about 8 years of age at 9:30 in the evening dragging along a bundle, which she was physically unable to carry, and acting as a human ex press for the transfer of goods. Children in every condition of filth and health swarmd in most ot the shops. In the last one we visited everyone had gone except two worn-out fellows, who had made a pile of the bundles of goods ready to be made up, upon which, without bed clothes, they proposed to sleep without change of the filthy condi tion ot their persons or their clothes. The 'sweater and the 'sweated' perlectlv agreed as to the miserably low wages paid." MCSICAL CHRISTMAS GUTS At H. Kleber & Bro.'s. , Washburn mandolins and guitars. Klebers' specialty banjos.

A burglar was arrested at Braddock en Tuesday night who is thought to have some connection with recent robberies in the Bast End and Wilkinsburg. A letter found In his pocket proves him to be S. J.

When arrested he was making a critical examination of a number of bouses. in Braddock, and the officer who bad been watching locked him up as a suspicious character. A lot of burglar's tools, including abrace, set of drills, jiuimv and a chisel, were found concealed in his clothing.
