The evil effect of this unchecked immigration upon the price of labour is very marked. I have collected together a few articles made by "sweated" workpeople in the East End, and have traced out the cost of labour in each instance. These samples include a wooden "Windsor" chair, solidly put together, and neatly turned; it was sold for 1_s._ 9_d._, and the price paid for making it was 2-1/2_d._ A fur collarette of hareskin, dyed gray and lined--really a very decent-looking article--was sold for 1_s._ 6_d._; labour received, 1-3/4_d._ A pair of button boots, leather-lined throughout, were bought for 3_s._ 11-1/2_d._; labour received 2-1/2_d._ for the "lasting" (_i.e._ sewing, heeling, and putting together); this 2-1/2_d._ did not include nails, wax, thread, all necessary to the work, which had to be found by the workman. Three pairs of boots can be "lasted" in an hour. There is also the "finishing," which costs 2_d._, and five pairs can be "finished" in an hour. But the most striking instance of all is that of a knickerbocker suit, well-made, and properly adorned with braid, made by a "sweated" workwoman in the East End. It was bought at a shop for 2_s._ 11_d._, and the woman received for making it 5-1/2_d._; which wretched pittance did not include needles, thread, and material used in the binding, all of which had to be found by the person "sweated." Now, I put it fairly and dispassionately to any unprejudiced person, if honest labour has no better reward to offer than this, what wonder if thousands of our people, in despair of earning a decent livelihood, are driven into vice and degradation--the men to drink, the women to prostitution?
