Albany, April 18. The Wagner- Factory Investigation Committee's re port on conditions in the International v .

', "These women," reads the Wagner- report, "were employed for ten hours ."7 on five nights of each weeks, from 7 P. M. to 5:30 A. M., with a break of ,' half an hour at midnight. The output . , of thi factory is twine made from hemp and the work involves exposures I to much dust, great noise and, in some -, rooms, great heat. "The married women who worked at - night had on an average about four and one-half hours sleep in the day .- time-, they prepared three meals each , day, including breakfast, which had to '.' be made ready immediately after the night's work. They also did all the washing for their families. ' , "Many of them returned to their homes after ten hours work at night J. , in the dust and roar of the twine fac tory, to nurse their babies in the morning and during the day time." "The appearance of the' women work ers is very disheartening," is the Wag ner committee's comment. "They are stolid, faces and hands are covered with oil and hemp dust. The women - " as a whole were a disheartaning group, -in their oil, dust-laden clothes, with . drawn, white faes and stooping gait,1' - - The special investigators report that of the one hundred women whose per- . , sonal histories were secured ninety-five " ' were Polish. There were eighty women between twenty and thirty years of age Of these one hundred women rixty-two were anaemic, fifty-seven complained of backache, and fifty-three of headache All operatives worked standing. f! "Dust is the predominating evil," con- tinues the report; "the clatter of am- ' chinery is so frightful that a voice can" hardly be heard below a shriek.
