powerful in the clothing business. Let
Mr.. Hendrick explain:
"It was by the utilization of minute
methods of competition that the Jews,
in 80 years, swept aside all other ma
tionalities in the clothing industries.
They have entirely transformed the
business in all its details. Before they
appeared, ready-made clothing was
manufactured on what was sometimes
described as the family system This
was largely the creation Of the German
manufactures and artisans. The large
manufacturers purchased the goods,
had them cut into garments at their
own establishments, and delivered them
in bundles directly to the workmen--
for the larger part, Germans and Irish
working at their own homes. The head
of the family, usually an experienced
tailor capable of making an entire gar
ment, impressed his wife and older chill
dren into service. Under his supervi-
sion, the family would put together the
garments. At stated intervals the
manufacturer wagon would stop be-
fore the house, collect the finished
clothes, pay the family head by the
piece, and take the articles back to
headquarters. A manufacturer, in
those days, was man who had plant
of limited quarters, and an army of
workingmen and workingwomen scat
tered throughout the city in their own
homes. His relations with his en-
ployes were almost as close and init
mate as though they worked under his
immediate supervision in his own fac
tory. The very essence of the system
was the lack of the middleman; the
manufacturer dealt directly with the
people whom he employed
g. AS long as an industry was organ
lied on this basis, man with small
capital would naturally have the ut
most difficulty in gaining foothold.
One must be either journeyman tailor,
poorly paid and -overworked, or he
must be manufacturer, with capital
large enough to equip an establish
ment, carry large stock of raw ma
terial, and meet goodsized weekly
payroll. With the employment Of the
Jew, however, new figure rapidly
forged to prominence in the clothing
industry. The middleman wedged him.
self between the artisan and his en-
ployer. The latter no longer sent his
garments directly to the worker in his
home, but handed them over to third
party-the Jewish contractor. The
workman, who for years had main
tanned rather close and friendly rela-
lions with the manufacturer, now never
saw him. What gave the contractor
his opportunity, and made him almost
indispensable to the manufacturer, was
the fact that this new immigration en-

more properly speaking, adopted-what
came to be known as the "task" or
team" system. There had been
sweaters in the clothing business
long before the Jews,-as' readers of
kingsley's "Alton Locke" need
scarcely be told,-but under their dom
ination this system became practically
general in New York. In few years,
supplanted the old "family system "
of the Germans. Ten or dozen men
were huddled in single tenement
room; in winter-time, when the win.
dows were closed, there was practically
no ventilation, and the heat was in
tense. The business was infinitely sub.
divided Under the Germans, and
Irish, the tailor and his family made
the whole suit; under the Jews, how
ever, each contractor specialized in a
single garment-coats, "vests,' or
"pants.' The contractor, who was
himself one of the hardest workers in
the "team," would take coat, per-
form his "task" perhaps the machine
work., and then toss the garment over
to the next man. This one. would add
his minute contribution and pass it to
his nearest neighbor. In this way, the
clothes were kept in rapid circulation.
The man at the head, usually the con-
tractor, set the pace; the others had to
keep their allotments moving, or drop
out Of the team and lose the job. The
team worked, in those early days, at an
incredible rate and for incredible hours.
The machines started speeding at six
in the morning, and seldom stopped I'M
til ten in the evening; there are stories
of "teams" who kept tirelessly at
work for 20 hours day.
"It is hardly surprising that, under
these conditions, the Jews soon OBJ
tanned complete control. No other i'm
migrant people could stand against
steady, inevitable driving power of
this kind. The German, the Irish, and
the American workmen, who had domi-
mated the tailoring trades up to 1880,
retired from this new competition as
from the blast of furnace. By 1890
there were practically no shops in
which other nationalities than Jews
were employed. And from the control
of the actual manufacturing the Jews
speedily advanced to monopoly in
Elmore County Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1910-1915, 1913-03-08

tirely changed the character of the la
Dor market. These half starved new ar
rivals, as has already been said, had q
natural aptitude for the tailoring trade
and their pressing necessities made
them willing to work for wages mate
rally lower than the Irish and German
artisans received. In a few years
therefore, they had crowded out prac
tically all the old-time workmen. But
the German or American manufacturer
could not handle this new labor sup
ply. He did not speak its language
and did not understand its peculiar
social and religious customs. As the
influx of Italian labor for railroad
work gave the opportunity for the
Italian padrone, so the influx of Jew.
ish artisans in the tailoring trades gave
occupation to the Jewish contractor.
who, first of all, was the controller Of
immigrant labor.
"The contractor was himself an i'm.
migrant. He had reached this country
poor and wretched, and had spent his
few years of apprenticeship in the tail
oring trades. He was usually the ex-
ceptional workman--the typical ambi.
tious Jew, who early saw in the malo-

dorous, sweatshop the road to fortune.
tion was practically his only stock in
trade. He had a room or two in q
tenement-perhaps his own home, per-
haps rented apartment. He went
out upon the public highways for his
employees; he would persuade his rela-
tives-his cousin, his uncle, his broth
er-in-law-to join his forces. He would
stop a push-cart peddler in the street
and show him the possibility Of i'm
proving his condition by running a
sewing machine.
The System
SIN this way the contractor would
get together working force of ten
or dozen people. He would put in q
machine or two, a pressing board, and
small furnace for heating irons
getting them invariably on credit, with
the expectation OF paying off in in
stalments from the profits Of the bust
ness. He would then make periodical
visits to the manufacturer, receiving
an armful of cut garments; the force
would at once start into activity; on
Mondays the contractor would carry
back the finished product and receive
new supply. He financed himself in
the most haphazard fashion. The
neighborhood pawnbroker became his
banker, advancing on Friday money
for the weekly payroll, the contractor
reimbursing him ON Monday, when he
himself collected from the manufactur-
ers.
Gan essential part Of his success,
the Jewish contractor evolved-or,

The Invasion" by the Jews
Progress of Hebrews United

NHE Western Jewish Immigrant
union is new organization,
formed recently at San Fran
cisco. It's reason for being is
the plan of the Jewish people of the
west to receive and properly care for
the thousands of their co-religionists
expected to emigrate here from Europe
after the opening of the Panama canal.
The organization was perfected by rep
resentatives Of so Jewish charitable
and benevolent organizations of the
Pacific coast. One of the principal OBJ
jects OF the union is to prepare homes
in the country for immigrants and thus
prevent the formation in Pacific-coast
cities of any such districts as the ghet-
tos of New York and other metropoli
of the United States.
This move serves to call attention to
the fact that there are more Jews in
one city of this country than were ever
before collected in any one place. There
are 100000 Jews in New York; in all
the United States there are just twice
that many. There are 100000 in Chi
cago, 100000 in Philadelphia, $4,000 in
Boston and 10000 in st. Louis. These
figures are given by McClure's maya
zine, as introduction to an article by
Burton j. Hendrick on "The Jewish
Invasion of America This writer
says: "The increasing Importance of
the Jewish people in all the large cities
Of the United States is matter of
everyday observation. One distin-
guished student of the subject, Profess
sor Werner Sombart of Berlin, even
goes so far as to say that in another
hundred years the United States will
be peopled chiefly by Slavs, negroes
and Jews. Extravagant and absurd as
this statement is, the fact remains that
the influence Of the Jews in the United
States in another hundred years prom
Uses to be almost preponderating
Though they have been here in large
numbers only 80 years, they have al
ready shown infinitely greater capac-
ity for economic progress than any of
the other great immigrating peoples. +"
Clothing Control
Mr.. Hendrick goes ON to tell how the
Jews have come to control the clothing
industry of the country. He calls it
their unquestioned domination in the
clothing trades.'' He explains that
the immigrants of the early days of
the "invasion were in majority
tailors, that being principal of the few
occupations that European oppression
had permitted the Jews. Tailoring had
been traditional trade among the
Jews, from the middle ages down.
Then, when the Jew came to New
York, he applied his capacity for inf
mite economy and unmeasured industry

the GENERALIZATION of the product.
Starting with one team, in a few
years the contractor usually had two
or three. He economical in every di-
reetion, saved every penny, and cheer.
fully subjected himself and his family
to every privation in his determination
to succeed. In this way, he slowly paid
off his debts and used his profits to
open new shops Once fairly estab-
lished he found little difficulty in
jumping from the position of con-
tractor to that of manufacturer. By
1895 the Jews controlled every branch
of the industry
Asgressivencss Shown
Mr.. Hendrick follows this illustra-
tion with many more that concern the
commercial aggressiveness of the Jews.
He tells of how they are acquiring
a monopoly of New York real estate,
of how they are serving the govern
ment by thousands in civil-service po-
sitions, how they are becoming police
men and school teachers, how they
have gained control of the theaters,
how they builded great department
stores, how Jews are gaining control
of the whisky business, how they are
powerful in the tobacco business, how
they have become railroad magnates
and bankers.
These facts would lead one to be-
lieve that the United States must be
a paradise for the Jewish people. This
is the truth, in measure. History is
replete with the achievements of the
Jews, of their commercial successes, of
the literary and musical triumphs, but,
on the other hand, many story of his
tory is limned in Jewish blood. In
the United States the Jew has not
been prosecuted; the Yankee has let
the Jew work out his own salvation,
untrammeled. just what effect this is
to have upon our national development
is uncertain, but it is sure that the Jew
will make himself factor in the bust
ness and politics Of the United States
of the future.
