Committee on Manufactures and Industries. 

 The same difficulty to be met in all the committees — lack of sufficitent 

 time — retarded the work on manufactures and industries. The board 

 having been formed in the summer, just as the members were about to 

 leave town, it was difficult to undertake any consecutive plans. MiSs 

 Roosevelt, chairman, appointed a sub-committee, with Mrs. Gaspar 

 Griswold, of New York city, at its head, but it was autumn before any 

 practical work could be taken up. Inquiries about the women employee^ 

 were then instituted at some of the factories, but there seemed so maich 

 reluctance on the part of the manufacturers to furnish any facts that 

 this method was abandoned. The desire of the committee was to 

 learn in what proportion women were employed in factories, and as 

 far as possible to obtain details concerning their positions relative 

 to men. An attempt was made to investigate the various indus- 

 tries pursued by women, many of which had been opened to them 

 only during recent years. Miss Roosevelt wrote the superintend- 

 ents of the census and bureau of statistics in Washington, and also 

 James Connolly, Factory Inspector of New York State. She received 

 the co-operation of all, and Mr. Connolly proposed the plan of 

 compiling from his reports the statistics regarding women's work in 

 factories. He said it would cost from $300 to $500 to prepare such 

 a work, as the figures would have to be culled from his general reports; 

 some of which had been published thdugh some had not. The expe- 

 rience cf ah expert was desirable and he suggested that his own employ- 

 ees should do the work. This plan was acceded to, the only request 

 from Miss Roosevelt being that Women should be assigned the task. lii 

 giving the work into the hands of Mr. Connolly's experts, it was found 

 unnecessary for Miss Roosevelt and her committee on manufactures 

 and industries to instigate any further inquiries about factory women, 

 and the work of this committee -was virtually merged in the committee 

 on statistics. The compilations made in the Factory Inspector's office 

 were so tabulated that at a glance it could be found how many factories 

 there were in the State in which women were employed, what was the 

 percentage of women, etc. As an incidental matter, Mr. Connolly, at 

 the request of Miss Roosevelt, asked some of the manufacturers to 

 have their workrooms in which women were employed photographed. 

 A certain number responded, and these photographs were placed on 

 exhibition in the record room of the Woman's Building with the statis- 

 tical charts.
