CHINESE FACTORY GIRLS.
They Appear Happy I'm spite of Long
Hours and small Wages

From the Los Angeles Times
A lady who has resided several years in
China draws an attractive picture uf the
girls in the Chinese silk factories She says
they are the gayest and brightest OF the
native women workers The factories are
large, cleaa, carefully ventilated. and well
regulated. The girls are charmingly dress
ed in blue, with little decorated slippers
and smooth hair, decked with flowers. and
silver-gflt or enameled pins. and each has
two mirrors, her hair brush and her tooth
brush. How much these are priced is
shown by the fact that their forfeiture is
the punishment for misconduct Some OF
the workers powder their faces, though
many Of the country women have cheeks Of
rosy pink. One factory at Sing Chang. en-
ploys 900 native girls. with European fore
man and European general manager. The
work begins at $50 am. There is a ten
minute rest for a light breakfast. which is
taken by the hands at their working places

IL O'Clock the work Is laid aside an hour

work is by the piece, and many women
work only a few hours day. Wages aver
age about II cents day. In the next de-
partment the sorting is more precise, and
here the wages average II cents a day
throughout the year. The spinning room
is a pretty sight with its row of blue-robel
girls. In preparing the cocoons for the
spinner, each cocoon Is brushed until the
end Of the thread appears. Six cocoon
threads go to make the final filament. and
each spinner works with thirty-siN cocoons
in a pan before her. The children here earn
cents a day, working from am. to 3
pm, while the women earn about cents
a day In the finishing department there
is the same attention to neajness of ap-
pearance as in the rest of the factory, the
girls being scrupu!ously clean and tasteful
ly dressed. Neatness is taken AS an evil
dence Of intelligence, and no slOvenly girl
could find a place in the flature. The last
department Of the factory is the packing
room. Here the s<eins packed close,
formed into square bundles, marked as TO
quality, and wrapped in white cotton for
shipment TO the mills of Europe to be made
into fabric.
