Factory Work inTenement (IonicsDec lared Vicions

Cl»il<l Welfare Committeeof WomenV City Club Ar¬ranges Conference toPlan h* Abolishment

Aboliion of fuctoy work in tenementhomes as a source of abuses even

greater than those developed by thesweat shops is demanded in a reportof the child welfare committee ofthe Women's City Club, which has beenapproved by the organization's boardof directors. The club's "QuurtenyBulletin." just issued, announces inthis connection that a series of fourconferences are to be held soon, atwhich all interests concerned will berepresented, to devise means of carry¬ing out the committee's recommenda¬tions.These conferences will be held under

the joint auspices of the Women's CityClub and the Men's City Club, and thedelegates will include capitalists, laborunionists, manufacturers, physiciansand social welfare experts.A summary of the committee's re¬

port given in "The Bulletin" statesthat in the course of a study involv¬ing '¡,700 families engaged in homowork the commit!ee found the \astmajority of workers earning less than20 cents an hour, and that there wasu free exploitationvof child labor, withconditions of hours and pay aggra¬vated by unlimited competition.

Home» Are Unclean"Families in which home work ¡abeing done are, of course, the poorest

among the city's population," says thocommittee's report. "Living quartersare unclean and crowded, the neighbor¬hoods dirty and congested. The work¬ing hours of the women and childrenare long and unregulated, and in mostcases the conditions under which workis produced are unsanitary and un-healthful. And it may here be saidthat the work of little children isutilized in practically every homo in¬dustry."After a careful study of the factsand ligures obtained," the report con¬tinues, "the committee came to theconclusion that the only defender of.such an iniquitous form of industry istho employer and contractor who hasbeen in the. past, and will be in tho

future tue first to protest against theabolition of home work. His advan¬tages are many:"Ho saves all overhead charges. His

workers have unrestricted overtime.There is no enforceable age limit iocworkers. He can secute plenty ofworkers in the rush season withouthaving t<> pay for them in the dull sea¬son. He is free from compliance withany factory or sanitary regulations."The apparent benefits to the workerare these: Hone worn can be takenup when other work is scarce. It. fur¬nishes a few luxuries that poor t'htti-ilies could not otherwise ari'ord to have.It is an .irregular form of employmentfor those who cannot work regularly.It gives « little work to needy mothersof families, or to widowa, with childrenwhose home duties do not permit reg¬ular outside work.

System Held Vicious"If the employer is correct in the

reasons he gives for the continuationof home work ¡hen it ii unthinkablethat such small remuneration shouldbe made to people whose nerd is sogreat and whose sacrifice is so costly.If the argument is given that the in¬come of the home worker is supposedto supplement the general family in¬come, then it must be said that suchsupplementing of iiicomo as a solutio'tof tho economic problem is iiripro-gressive, antiqu-.tcd and positively dan¬gerous to the health and welfare ofthe entire community."After a careful consideration of thisphase of industry, involving many thou¬sands of workers, the committee cameto the conclusion that home work con¬tained so many feature-- positivelyinimical to the health and safety ofthousands of people, consumers as wellas work'-r.-. that nothing short of it acomplet«*- abolition could elminatc itsmany vicious aspects."

Oppressed Peoples'League DenouncesPeace Conference

INew Organization for "Free-

dorn of 400,000,000" Is!Formed; Protests Action!on Part of Great Britain!

Great Britain and the Paris peaceconference were held responsible forpolitical wrongs in Egypt, India, Ire-|land, Persia, Syria, China, Russia,Tibet and Corea by speakers at a mass

meeting held yesterday afternoon inthe Lexington Opera House. The meet-ing formally organized the League ofOppressed Peoples, whoso avowed pur-pose is to work for the "freedom of-100,000,000 people now enslaved."Three thousand persons who filled

the hall greeted with cheers the intro-ductory remarks of the Rev. JamesGrnttan Mythen, of Norfolk, Va., whodeclared that "ono half of the worldto-day enjoys freedom while the otherhalf is in bondage." Dr. Mythen saidhe had served as a chaplain in thewar in the belief that it was being jwaged "to free small nations, as

promised by Mr. Wilson.""Subsequent events have shown that

such is not t'ne case," declared Dr.Mythen. "The time ha? arrived whenone man shall no longer speak for thepeople, but the people shall speak for.themselves'."

,Dudley Field Malone, the chairman,!said tin« meeting was called lo serve!notice on the political parties thut. theAmerican poopl«*. "do not want a set ofn<*\v quarrel» with other nations.""Our cry fur international liberty

will be heard with the cry of our deadsoldiers above the din of the politicalbat tin of 1920," asserted Mr. Malone.

¡Speaking for Ireland, Harry Boland."secretary of the. Irish Republic," saidhe was not pleading for a nation thathad to he looked for with a microscope."There can be no ijcacc in Europe,league of nations or no league of na¬tions, until Ireland is free," he said.

tala Lajpot Rai, head of th" YoungIndia movement, contended that "asPrussianism and Ozarism had beencrushed, so will British tyranny overIndia In* crushed."Attacks on the peace conference dis¬

posal of .Shantung; and on the extension«if British influence in Syria, Persia,'China and Corea «.«.-ere made in specificspeeches by the Rev. Norman Thomas,editor of "The New World"; AldermanB. Charney Vladeck. manager of "The.Jewish Daily Forward," and Gregory1/.ilzourg, secretary to a minister in theKoi-ensky Cabinet.

This resolution was adopted:"That the assembly places on rcc-ord its emphatic protest agatn.-t the,brulal an«! inhuman methods whichGreat Britain has, since the signing ofthe armistice, been using in Ireland,India, Egypt and parts of Russia forputting down political disaffection anddispersing of political meetings. Thisassemblage is of the opinion that theuse of machine guns, aeroplanes, bombsand starvation by blockade for theselfish control of political ai d eco¬nomic life reduce'-i civilization to acondition worse than savagery and is asin ¡-.gainst humanity, which ought tobe forbidden by the league of na¬tions. This meeting protests againstany interference by foreign powerswith the independence and supremeright of self-determination of nil peo¬ples."

bodying some of the qualitiesof both in a proportion oflino that is extremely wellbalanced. The scroll top isunusually beautiful, thecurve tit' the legs is very near

perfect. Another interest¬ing feature of the design oflhis low high-boy is its grad¬uated drawers that getdeeper so that the bottomone is the deepest of all.Trice $525.

Another pieee fine in designand construction is a small mapleand mahogany ehest of drawers,which was probably used as a
