THE SWEATING SYSTEM.
London, February 29.
The sweating system, with its attendant evils, is as yet unrestricted, owing to foreign immigration. The question has been discussed by the House of Lords, who urge, as a means to stamp out the evil, improved sanitation, registration of Workshops, greater supervision by Factory In : spectors, and the establishment of a system of four years' apprenticeship. Foreign Eaupers are induced to come to England y offers of work when there is absolutely none, except under the sweating system, which renders them'mere slaves, and leaves them to starve. A Select Committee has been appointed by the House of Lords to deal with the question.
