23 SENATOR MALTESE: Yes, Madam

24 President. I rise, as I do each year, to

25 commemorate the anniversary of the Triangle

(518) 371-8910
638

1 Shirtwaist Factory Fire. This is the 97th

2 anniversary since that day on March 25th in

3 1911.

4 Many of us remember, many of us


5 know from our history books that the fire laws

6 in New York State and across the country were

7 extremely lax. And as the immigrants from

8 came from the foreign shores, they were put

9 into sweatshops. The term "sweatshops"

10 originated in many of the knitting factories

11 that existed in our own City of New York and

12 across the country.

13 And in these sweatshops the

14 conditions were deplorable, even for those

15 times. The employees were locked in, there

16 was very little air circulating, the hours

17 were horrendous. Many of the establishments

18 indicated that if the employees did not come

19 in on Sundays, they would not be able to work

20 on Mondays, they would not be permitted to

21 work.

22 I'd like to mention at this time my

23 grandfather, Serafino, who I was named after.

24 I use his example as an example of those who

25 came over to this country to seek a better

Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.


(518) 371-8910
639

1 life.

2 My grandfather was a shoemaker, and

3 when he came over in 1904, he sent for his

4 family after a year or two, where he was able

5 to raise enough to bring his family here. And

6 we look at the plight of the immigrants of

7 those times. And my grandfather sent for his


8 family, which was composed of his wife, his

9 three daughters and his two sons.

10 And they came over, and on the ship

11 coming over his little daughter Maria sickened

12 on the ship coming over and perished at Ellis

13 Island Hospital. So he lost his first

14 daughter, the one of three, in Ellis Island

15 Hospital. But he went on.

16 And settling on the Lower East Side

17 of Manhattan, he did as so many other

18 immigrants did, not only working himself long

19 hours, seven days a week, but his wife and his

20 two daughters went to work at the Triangle

21 Factory -- his wife Caterina, his 17-year-old

22 daughter Lucia, and his 14-year-old daughter

23 Rosaria.

24 And they went to work, and they

25 left for work on the morning of Saturday,

Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.


(518) 371-8910
640

1 March 25, 1911, and he never saw them alive

2 again.

3 The fire broke out, and nobody

4 knows really what happened, but they speculate

5 that it broke out in the knitting scraps and

6 the material scraps that were on the sides of

7 the floors.

8 The factory itself was on three

9 stories. The ninth story was the executive's

10 floor. And the executives did not -- when the


11 fire broke out, they did not tell the workers

12 on the bottom two floors.

13 An alarm was sent, but the fire

14 ladders of the time reached only up to the

15 sixth floor. The workers ran for the fire

16 escapes, but because they were inferior, they

17 broke under the weight of the people trying to

18 escape at the side of the building. And many

19 of the fire escapes fell to the alley floors,

20 together with those unfortunates that were on

21 them.

22 The majority of the people working

23 there were Italian and Jewish immigrants,

24 almost all of them. One hundred forty-six

25 perished, a majority of them women and young

Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.


(518) 371-8910
641

1 girls.

2 The fire disabled the elevator, the

3 crush of the women against the elevator

4 disabled the elevator. The remaining women,

5 many of them tried to throw themselves down

6 the elevator shafts. Other women managed to

7 reach the windows, but with the fire ladders

8 reaching only the sixth floor, they were

9 almost of no help.

10 One hundred forty-six women died,

11 including my grandmother and two aunts. I

12 never knew them, but I knew my grandfather

13 Serafino. And he was a deeply religious man.


14 He exemplifies the immigrants that came to

15 this country.

16 As this fire was so horrendous, the

17 loss of life so horrendous, it enabled the

18 International Ladies' Garment Workers, which

19 is now called UNITE today, to grow and to

20 become a much stronger union and protect the

21 employees and improve working conditions.

22 Many of the people involved went on

23 to greater careers -- Robert Wagner, Sr., who

24 headed the commission that investigated, went

25 on to become the United States Senator. Al

Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.


(518) 371-8910
642

1 Smith, who was the vice chairman of the

2 committee, went on to become the Governor of

3 the State of New York. Frances Perkins went

4 on to become the Secretary of Labor, the first

5 woman to serve as a secretary in a cabinet

6 position. All because of this fire.

7 Unfortunately, many of those

8 similar conditions exist today. Many of us as

9 legislators are attempting to do something

10 about the so-called sweatshop conditions that

11 exist today with the new immigrants that are

12 coming today.

13 Madam President, I offer this

14 resolution -- my colleagues may join in -- in

15 commemoration of all those 146 souls that lost

16 their lives on March 25, 1911. I vote aye.


17 ACTING PRESIDENT YOUNG: Thank

18 you, Senator Maltese.

19 The question is on the resolution.

20 All in favor signify by saying aye.

21 (Response of "Aye.")

22 ACTING PRESIDENT YOUNG: Opposed,

23 nay.

1 resolution is carried.

2 At this time it is my great honor

3 to introduce His Eminence, Edward Cardinal

4 Egan, for the invocation.

5 ARCHBISHOP EGAN: Thank you very

6 much.

7 And, Senator Maltese, I go every

8 year to the Triangle celebration and memorial

9 in New York, and so I know exactly what you're

10 talking about. And I've never failed to give

11 a talk on that occasion; I'm glad to hear

12 you're doing the same.

13 Thank you very much for allowing me

14 to be here. And if we could take a moment for

15 prayer.

16 Almighty and eternal Father, we

17 place ourselves in Your presence. We seek

18 Your blessing. We seek a blessing for the

19 great State of New York, for all the citizens


20 who make it up, who are struggling to live

21 according to Your law and one day will find

22 themselves in Your embrace for all eternity.

23 We pray for our Senators, for the

24 members of our Assembly, and for all who are

25 our political leaders here in this state. May

Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.


(518) 371-8910
644

1 they and their families have the blessing of

2 Your constant care, for they are ever in Your

3 love.

4 We ask You as well, O Lord, to care

5 for those who are hurting in our state, those

6 who are hungry or losing their homes, without

7 jobs. Those who are strangers, those who are

8 ill, those who need our understanding, our

9 compassion, our love. May we have the courage

10 to live up to Your expectation for our care

11 for every human being, an image of You formed

12 in Your likeness.

13 At this difficult moment in the

14 history of our beloved state, we pray for our

15 Governor, for his family, for his staff, and

16 for all of us. May we find our way through

17 this difficulty and move forward to serve the

18 people of this state as You would have them

19 served, O Father, and to serve You well in

20 each and every one of our days, in each and

21 every one of our efforts.

22 This we ask with total trust and


23 confidence, now and forever.

24 Amen.

5 inaugurated a contest where the students are

6 eligible from the entire school, 40 math

7 classes, to enter.

8 And we have here the winners of

9 that contest. Taking first place, Alvin
