Albany, N. Y. The report of the
state labor department on Ha nv..ii.
gation or conditions among the Little
Falls textile workers brought to pub
lic attention Dy tne recent striken
was made public.
"Certainly It is a matter of grave
public concern." the report say

umuiia is are revealed oy tnts report.

or lets similar conditions art to be
lonna eisewnere.
The Investigators report that, prior
to the strike, half of the men workers
received a weekly wage of $9 or less,
while half of the women received leas
than $7.50. "The settlement of the
strike," the report adds, "made but
little, if any, change in conditions as
to wages." Monthly rents for the
space occupied by a single family or
group run from to $18.
Of living conditions, the report says:
"The houses are frame structure,
built singly or in groups. Bathrooms
are entirely absent, lealey roofs make
dry rooms impossible. Ventilation al-
t-av-H is had f'pllara m-prA fnnnrl fllli1
with water, ashes, waste, garbage and
manure.
"Sleeping rooms are small, general
ly when the number of occupants
which they accommodate Is consid
ered. Some are windowles. Over
crowding Is the rule. Owing to Ignor
ance of the need of fresh air in a
sleeping room, windows are kept con
stantly closed, even the cracks being
filled or covered. The air of the
sleeping rooms is charged with odors
from the witchen, the washtubs. the
garbage heap and the cellars, and tn
this condition Is breathed again and
again by the sleepers.
"In each household one room Berves
as a kitchen, while all others are
sleeping rooms. The kitchen is also
a dining room, living room, wash
room and laundry, and in some cases
a sleeping room. The head or tne
household Is not simply the head of
the family, nor even in the usual
meaning of the term, a boarding
houseVeeper. The housewife is the
l head ta rather the financial
agent of the members of her house
hold, herself and her immediate fam
ily forming only a part of snch an
organization.
"The term family Is little used In
this report. This is intentional. Fam
ily privacy is a thing unknown to th
textile workers. This cannot be cred
ited to a low moral standard, for phy
sicians testify to a relatively high
standard of morals.
"Dealers state that the mill work
ers buy a fairly good grade of food,,
