Sam Clements found an earlier "sweat shop" than I'd posted, from February
1891. I'm doing a New York web page and I'm trying not to give him too much
credit.

_The Churchman:_ (...)
We must pass over his description of Jewtown and its sweat-shops, in which
miserable Jews spend eighteen hours a day at slop-work for the clothing
manufacturers, and from which clothing is often sent out leaded with the infection of
small-pox and typhus.
