'And the' ravening beasts of capitalism seeking whom they may ,devour, in the p ges of a Sinclairian novel, ,are not conhnediy any means to the United States. Not if we may believe Olive Chris- tian Malvery, a young woman who has already earned a unique reputation in Eng- land by her clever writings and who lately raised a furore by publishing a book dealing largely with what she calls “the jungle of London." I/ ‘we may believe her-and she claims to have ferreted out the secrets of the terrible underworld herself-the horrors of the Chi- cago meat markets and stockyards are more than paralleled in London.. Moreover, they are repeated in industry after industry, in in- numerable phases of life, until London, it would seem, a/ter reading the book, must cry aloud with its iniquities and abominations. /Ind in this connection it is interesting to /P/° note that Miss Malvery-or Mrs. Archibald * _ r ° ' ' -"'&"“'“_“"‘l lilac/cirdy--has traveled in the United States, where, she declares, conditions are better and cleaner inl every respect than they are in the industries and among the working people of ‘L`ngland. P How decayed and putrescent meats are 'prepared for consumption, how foods are adulteratcd, how women labor in degrading and nauseating conditions and the almost un- believable rr- .~ ""0 s in ~zvhich the poor live are _revelations 1/..:.'lIe'a/'ter a first-hand investi- gation. 1 Eight years were spent by Miss Malvery in gathering her tnrzterirzl. A young and re- fined woman, she sought life as it was, lived with casters, disguised herself as a flower girl, worked in sweatshops, stores and factories, served apprenticeship as a barntaid, worked as a waitress, lived in hovels and among the most degraded-in one street, indeed, discov- ering a colony where young children were trained to thieve.

That ls, they uscd to drink heavily on Sunday, and bc so unfit for work on Monday that they were obllrrcll tn stny awny or Work half time only." _ Commenting on the lntolcrably filthy conditions in these places, the fnlr investigator says: “Englnnd is n rich country, yet in America they glve` women tnllcrs splendid clubs and fins eating houst-s`, bright and comfortable places where they can enjoy the compxmionshlp of their lovers. hrothors ami husbands under haplly conditions.

In a marmaladc factory great quantities of orange peel werc brought in und used ln the manufacture of jolly. A story in clrculnlion nlnong the workers was that these were swept at night off the streets by suu\-vngors. "I haul no means of verifying this statement," the Writer declares, “hut this I do know, thnt the orungcs which come in great baskets were often in n state of decay.
