THE SHAME OF BELFAST Women Are- Forced to Work for Eight Cents a Day. Two principal delusions exist about thi. amat and loval citv of Belfast, Ire land. On that it is religious, the otner that it is rich. I do not believe I ex- anrerate when I say that a man would h tn t-ravAl far before he found a city where tha foundational principles of the Christian religion axe more per fectly ignored and where the labor of the poorest people la more inad equately rewarded. There are men in Belfaat who are very rich; there ar skilled workmen In the shipyards and factories who earn high wages; but the vast multitude of the city lahorrlbly. wickedly and dis astrously poor. Because Belfast is do ing what men call "a roaring trade," it is supposed that the entire population Is prosperous and contented; be cause a few isolated cases of high wages ar trumpeted here and there, it Is supposed that only a few are poor, only a remnant la sweated. But multi tudes of men and women In Belfast are dreadfully poor, and numbers of women and girls are outrageously sweated. Among the great host of ordinary workers In the linen .mills wages may be aald to range from $3 to $4 a week for men. J.50 a week for women. This is a fair average. Many men are em ployed on night work in these linen mills, married men, and they earn 13.36 a week. Home life, of course, is ren dered difficult in such cases; family life is disorganised. Children are pushed early Into these unhealthy mills, with their heated air and damp floors, and even the wife contributes to the family income by working at home. Lifa is not very agreeable in these working class quar ters. After a long and wearisome day s work the man Is inclined to take his ease in one public house, and the wife in another. Drink Is expensive. And therefore even in cases where man, wife and three or four children are all earning money it is possible to find degrading poverty. But what of the home workers? There is an Inquiry now proceeding In Belfast on this subject, an inquiry which I fear is secret. But In spite of that secrecy I hope a report may be issued, with all the evidence pre sented before the committee. It should astound the conscience of mankind . i nt hnniA worker in I 11.1 Bvttrchwun ' ' " " Belfast la so scandalous that it staggers the mind to imagine how ciaillsed men can reap th pronta of It, and when one knows that many of these men are enormously rich and obstentatiously re ligious. It stirs an angry Indignation In the souL I give a few typical cases, which have been most carefully Investi gated by an expert in this particular dodge of the capitalist to grind the faces of the poor an expert in the tragedy of the home worker.
