Abolition of Sweatshops.
The leading manufacturers of women's and children's clothing in Chicago have announced their plans for doing away with the existing sweatshop conditions of labor by erecting a group of eighty buildings in a central location with every modern convenience for cleanliness, light, air and other sanitary conditions, and in connection with which clubhouses, libraries, public baths, gymnasiums, etc., will be operated free. The manufacturers do not pretend to do this solely from humanitarian motives. They have come to the conclusion that it will be better for their business plans as well.
