There Is room in the business world

Factory at BROOKLYN Navy Yard Gets
Regulations from Pacific.
The clothing factory at the Brooklyn
navy yard has just received large
acquisitions for jumpers, overshirts,
trousers and overcoats, to be delivered
before May l at the navy yards at
Mare Island and Brenerton on the Pa
clfic coast says the New Orleans Plea
yune The local factory is the only
one operated by the navy department
for the navy proper. Another factory
Is maintained in Philadelphia for the
marine corps. The navy yard factory
was founded in April, 1870, by r. W.
Thompson, then secretary Of the navy
department. AT present 1t is under
the superintendent of Paymaster Jew
EFT, the latter of whom is In charge of
the department of provisions and cloth.
Ing
The factory employs a number of cut
tiers and inspectors, who work in build
ing No. 81, where the factory is main
tained, and about $50 men and women
who work in shops outside of the yard
or in their own homes. The trousers
and overcoats are made almost exclu-
sively by operatives who have shops of
their own, but the various kinds of
Jumpers and overshlrts are made by
women. These are usually the wives
and daughters of United States veter.
ans. All of them are amenable to the
State factory law and If they live in
tenement or apartment house must
have State license. 1t is a common
sight at the Sands street gate every
morning to see long lines of women
laden with large packages returning
work that has been assigned to them.
All such work done on the outside ls

GERS, and If properly and neatly made
is passed. If for any reason a gar
ment is rejected the government is en-
powered to charge the cost of the ma
terial against the operative. Women
are paid from 20 to % cents for max
ing jumpers, As cents apiece for over
shirts, 10 cents per collar for tapping
and 212 cents for embroidering a star
on the collar.
When the operative returns a fin
ished garment another allotment of
material is made to her and she takes
it home and puts it together. This
material is cut and assembled ready to
be sewed together.
