from gloves, but | defy anyone To
visit Gloversville and find that the

| defy Littauer TO show that his en-
ployes are getting much pleasure out

promise made by him TO his employees
that from an added protection there
will be q division OF the increased

Most of the glovemakers are on
piecework. The amount OF the weeks
wages depends upon individual indus
try and strength. The particular part
OF a glove that this girl or that man
handles becomes her or mis- life. They
struggle to produce numbers of that
part TO their full strength and for 10
hours a day. To make a fair living
requires untiring labor and that
harassing worry that one feels when
his effort Is measured by clock ticks.

girl prematurely old. sick two o.
three days a week, unlovely and hope

probably faded when she saw the eff
feet in her face of piece work. Her
hope OF children died when disease
entered her body. Now all she asks
for Is TO be able to work six days a
week. To her way OF thinking she IN

She said: "All the work In the sew

IL goes to the 'silker,' who does tho
fancy stitching on the back; then to
the closer who joins the fingers and
