she broke down under such a strain.
The poor little artist-worker cannot
live long and work as she does and
support such privations.
CURIOUS PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF THE
work.
The labor of making these scarfs
would be light were it not that it is so
badly paid as to render it necessary
to labor constantly, and the amount of
work is always uncertain. For some
unexplained cause the handling of the
satin seems to wear away the skin on
the ends of the fingers, and many of
those who make satin ties have the
ends of their fingers so sore it is tor
ture to work. They have to keep bowls
of strong alum water to dip their
fingers in to harden them, and the
work is also very irving to the eyes and
the nerves. There are about two
thousand women and girls who make
their living by this trade, but it is q
very poor one. The price ranges for
the work from IS cents. and some even
declare they get but SIS cents per gross
up to 1925 per dozen for the finest
work for the best houses: but the aver
age earnings for q day OF ten hours is
81 week. The dealers and manufac-
turers will. ifasked, point out the ex.
treme:highest prices that are earned by
the most expert workers at the STAN
dard price, never mentioning those
who work equally hard for SO q week.
PIN-MONEY WORKERS..
One reason why the making of mems
neckwear has become 50 cheap is that
many married women and young girls
of fairly well-to-do families wish to
earn something for pocket-money. and,
thinking this light and not unpleasant
work take it home and do it. They do
not depend upon that for their bread,
and so have not the same reasons for
trying to uphold the price, which is now
less than half what it was three years
ago. The women and girls who work
at cravat-making are generally of a
superior class, mostly such as have
seen better days and are ill-fitted to
battle for justice, or of those who do
not really need money and do not
realize what dreadful struggle it
would be to live entirely from the pro-
duct of their work at this trade. The
dealers and manufacturers really make
no more money now on the cheapened
work as the competition in trade re-
duces their profits, but they owe it to
themselves, as we'll as to the honest
and suffering women who do their
work to see that extortions and petty
meannesses of the forewomen are
checked at once, and they also ought
to have a better arrangement whereby
the work could be examined and at
tended to without the loss of time,
which means bread to the workers.
1t would be useless to try to show
the privations and suferings of individ-
uals who earn their livelihood by MAX
ing cravats at such prices, for words
could not convey the full meaning of
the struggle to keep roof over ones
head, bread and clothes, and all other
expenses out of three or four dollars a
week.

moisture falls from the edges of the frame and
the fabric dries uniformly. II stood handle up-

cases, too, are responsible for the rapid wearing
