Abstract

Uncle Sam's Sweatshop
Clapper, Raymond | July 15, 1925 issue

add to cart   close window

The cost of the federal government in the U.S. is $2,000,000,000 a year below what it was in 1921 and this is justly regarded as a remarkable achievement in pubic finance. Most persons rebel at the horrors of the sweatshop. They prefer to pay slightly more for a garment they know to have been made by decently paid and decently treated labor, and not wrung from the midnight toil of an undernourished child. It is hard to believe that the country wants its government to be converted into a wholesale sweatshop.
