. ASSEMBLY INVESTIGATION.
One Witness Whose Facts and Figures Did
Not Appear to Agree—He Declared
the Profits of the Business
Were Exceedingly Small.
NEW YORK. April 16.—-A number of
women interested in reforms of various
kinds were in the aldermanic rhamber in
the city hall today long before :0 assem-
bly committee met which is investigating
sweatshops in New York city where women
are employed.
Among them were Mrs. Edward Fred-
enberg, Mrs. Cornelia S. Robinson and.
Miss Tracy Knight Marshall, who consti-
tuted a committee from the Harlem Aux-
iliary Republican club, and Mrs. A. J.
Sterling, a worker in the ranks ‘of the
Charity Organization society.
Chairman Reinhard and Assemblyman
Andrews and Steinberg were present when
the session opened. The first witness called
was Harris Skalky of 9% Essex street.
He was examined by ”Lawyer Julius
Mayer. He has a wife and three children,
and they occupy three small rooms on the
first floor.. Skalky is a tailor who repairs
and makes clothes on his own account,
but he denied that he was 0. sweater. He
said there were sweaters in the building
who worked for wholesale Clothiers. He
has been living in the house half a year,
but he said that he couldn’t give the
names of any other tenants.
\Princely Remuneration.
Nathan Vagler, who keeps a shop at 48
Essex street, was next called. He hires a
room and bedroom there, but lives at 77
Norfolk street. The bedroom is used for
storing clothing, and in the other room
four men and three girls are employed.
. One of the girls is quite young, he said.
He gave her name as Fvn. but could not
tell her surname. She had brought a pa.-
per from somebody saying that she was
16 years old, and he hired her at 85 a.
week to iron waists. He could not read
the paper, he said, and did not know
from Whom it came, but he know that it
was all right» to hire Eva because ‘ a. man
of “the name of Schwartz had told him so.
Vagler told of the earnings of another
girl named Leah. This girl gets 9 cents
for sewing buttons on a dozen coats. At
this rate, he said. it is possible for Leah to
earn 87 or $8 a week The girls work on
Sundays, and those on salary Work ten
hours a day. Those on piece work fix their
own hours, and usually work two or three
hours a day longer than those on salary.
He said that he works on contract for sev-
eral wholesale houses. He receives from
35-ccnts to 50 cents a. dozen for making
boys’ waists, and he turns out about 100
dozen of them in a. week. ‘
Vagler's Figures Did Not Tally.
Lawyer Levy did' some figuring on the
testimony of Vagler and submitted the
result for the consideration of the com-
mittee. If Vagier’s testimony was correct,
he said, be expended last week for wages
and rent $52. 75, and his earnings were only
$40.90, indicating a loss during the week
of $11.85. Witness was recalled to explain
this. He said that he lost no money be.
cause his own Work was worth $13 a. Week,
and he had some unfinished Work on hand
Which was not included in the $40. 90.
Louis Gordon, who does tailor work at
1 Essex street, said that be employed only
one man to whom he paid $9 a. week. He
repairs clothes and makes new clothes and
has on band now 50 pairs of trousers, 40
coats and 10 vests.
Barnett Feinberg, who has a shop at 30
Monroe street and lives at 127 Madison
.strcet, was the next witness. He said that
he usually employs 12 or 13 men and 4
girls. His work is conducted for contract-
ors on the sweating plan—88 cents for
making a coat.
He said that for making first class coats
he sometimes receives 81 each. He makes
from 100 to 150 coats a week. He pays
operators, he said, $15 a week, busters $14
a week, pressers $10 a week, and the girls
are paid 88, 87, $5. 50 and $5 a week. The
average earnings in his shop he figured to
be about $10 a week.
