On July II the Irwin-Phillips branch

company. They will start twenty-five
sewing machines and will employ
about twenty-five girls besides the

Ioveralls. The goods for the work will
all be cut at the Keokuk factory and
taken to the branch where the girls
will assemble the parts and turn out
the finish product. Miss Mary Null
herne of the Keokuk factory will be
the forelady of the branch and M.
Richards will be the machinist. Quite
a few OF the employees living in Ham
iiton and employed in the Keokuk fac

ilton branch.
A girl starting into any part OF the
Irwin-Phillips factory is taught all
parts of making shirt, overall or
whatever she is started in on and is
not kept on one machine and doing
one thing. 1t Is customary with the
big factories to keep their employees
doing one thing, consequently when
| they wish to go to some other place
they are unable to work at any other
thing except that which they have
been doing, but with some one that
has served in the Irwin Phillips fac
tory they can go into any factory and
begin on any part of the work.
