18 commemorating the 97th Anniversary of the
19 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire on March 25,
20 2008.
21 ACTING PRESIDENT YOUNG: Senator
22 Maltese.
23 SENATOR MALTESE: Yes, Madam
24 President. I rise, as I do each year, to
25 commemorate the anniversary of the Triangle
Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.
(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,

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.

13 As many of my colleagues know, I
14 have the honor of being chairman of the board,

Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.

3 Because of this, and because of his example
4 also in the chemical elements, he has
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
10 DeLeon, a senior; Makita Ellis, a freshman;
11 Quincey Martin-Chapman, a freshman. That's
12 first, second and third place for the contest
13 of pi.
14 In the chemical elements contest,
15 Alvin DeLeon again, first place in the
16 contest -- if they would stand as I had said
17 their names -- Juliana L. Daxland, a freshman;
18 and Julia Coltrinari, a senior.
19 I commend them, I ask my colleagues
20 to commend them. Our Senate resolution has
21 commended their efforts. Congratulations.
22 And I vote aye on the resolution.
