The Sweating Evil.
(Per Press Association) Wellington, May 29. In tbe Magistrate's Court to-day a married woman, who took home work from a factory, stated she was paid at the rate of sixpence per dozen and was only able to finish a dozen per day. A portion of the time however, was devoted to domestic duties, and if she were to neglect these and continue to work late at night she might finish 1-J- dozen, the articles thus making nine pence per day. The statement was corroborated by another woman who did home work.
