THE SWEATING SYSTEM.
Lond >N, Feb'aa'-y 29
The question of the sweating system, with its attendant evils, and unrestricted foreign immigration, has been discussed by the House of Lords, who u>-ge, as a means to stamp out the evil, improved sanitarianism, registration of workshops, greater supervision by Factory Inspectors, and the establishment of a system of four years' apprenticeship. Foreign paupers are induced to come to England by 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.
