COMMISSIONER'S TESTIMONY
The Must Drplnrnhln Condition Kxlst
In the Hwentthops of New York anil
New Jersey.
Washington, Nov. 15. Tho indus
trial commission today heard tho testi
mony of L. P. McCormuck, labor com
mieBiouor of tho state of Indiana, nnd
!i0' 1'ro'owor Jol'u G. Urooks, of Cam-
'uriiiBUi itmnn., jiiusuiuuv ui mu "-
tionul Cousumors' League.
Mr. McCormnck's tostimony wnBdo
votod largely to tho subjoot of arbitra
tion. Ho said that modo of settling
.labor disputes wns rnpidly gaining
jfuvor lu his state. In lomo trndos ar
'bitrntion, ho said, had almost sup
planted strikes, and in many branches
of industry contracts hotwoen employ
iers nud employes proscribed that in
(Cnso of difficulty arbitration shall bo
(resorted to without cossatiou of work.
Tho result is constantly iurcoaslng good
fooling botwoon employ or and employe.
Ho urged tho necessity nnd wisdom of
onforcod arbitration in oxtromo cases
'whora tho interests of the public aro
.coucornod nnd whoro a long striko will
'bring disaster to tho pooplo nt largo.
Il'his mothod, ho thought, would oftou
Invert bloodshed, and ho considered lho
method moro oconomical, as well as
iinoro liumauo, than calling on tho mili
tary. Mr. McCormnck said that most
o( tho labor troubles woro with itnor
Iganizod labor or now organizations,
ttlio older orgaui7ations bviug tho moBt
couKorvntivo.' Mr. MuCormack said
ithat whilo tho labor otganuations
'might not bo (riondly to uufortod arbi
tration, tho iuterestH of tho public at
largo always should bo consulted rather
than the wishes ot tlio fow dirootly en
gagod in it strike.
Professor Urooks' testimony was do
voted to tho questlou of work in the
sweatshops, in the investigation of
which ho has boon engaged for many
years. Ho said tho MuHsachusetta law
'work's fairly woll, but that in New
York and Now Jorsey the conditions
were almost deplorable'. la those
states it was impossible to secure ado
quuto inspection, becauso of tho fact
that work is done in urivnte apart
ments. Tho wages woro tho lowest
possible nud oftou woro piooed out
with charity, making tho competition
with high paid labor very tense. Poo
plo thuH employed work from 14 to 10
hours per day, to thn injury of their
,own health nud tho damage of tho com
munity. 'In Now York," eaid Profossor
Ilrooks, "politics gut Into the subject,
rondorlug it impossible toniako inspec
tion. Unions thero is somo iufluouoo
brought to bear strong enough to allow
us to got at tho privato homes of theso
pooplo, tho tragedy will go on indoll
nitoly," ho said. Ho advocated thn
substitution ot fitctorios, and argued
that tho result need not, with tho uso
of proper machinery, bo an iuoroaso of
the prices ot the goods manufactured,
The chauuo also would result in higher
wngos and nu improvement of tho gar
ments. Ho dwelt on tho danger of
spreading diseaso through tho shops,
suyiug it is always immin nt. Prices
wero getting to bo ho low, Mr. Ilrooks
said, that Americans ery soldom en
gage in tho work. Most of tho sweat
shop work is dnno by immigrants from
Kustoru F.uropo.

May 4, 1800.
"Tho native and mixed population
of tho northern district of Alaska is
12,052. Tho most populous district,
with respect to tho native population,
is tho country lying botwoon tho mouth
of tho Yukon and thoKuskoquinrlvors.
nnd extonding back from tho coast 100
miles. Mnurlco Johnson, the agentjlor
this district, traveled over 3,000 milos
with a dog team during tho winter,
nnd enumerated 8,013 persons, all of
whom wero Indians. The Indiana iu
this region aro probably the most dos
tttato poople ou tho North American
ccBtlnuut. Mr. Johnson reports thatt
from Docember 1 to March 16 he visit

tlmo saw but threo II res burning in the '

they soouro on tho coast during tho
summer. Tho fur-bearing uuimalH,

natural clothing, are nearly oxtinot,
nnd they havo been foroed to adopt the
white man's garb, nud, us their poverty
prevents them from securing enough

suffering from the cold.
"Tho spiritual condition of thoso
natives is no better than their physical,
as tho missionaries devote their atten

gold regions and along the river, whore

"Tho Nome district is tho most pop

Imputation on Juno 1 of 0,704. During
tho irummer about 18,000 people landed
at Nome, about 2,600 of thoso coming
from Dawson. Aliout 12,000 have re
turned to their homos in the states,
leaving About 0,000 people in the region
contiguous to Nonio. It is probable
that the population of the town of
Nome during the winter will be be
