"Rags picked up in places of filth often carry their germs into factories .where wiper waste and other waste products are used. Investigations show that rags which pass through the fulling and djc ing processes of cloth manufacture, get rid of the germs, but mixed wool and cotton rags frequently pass through the process andvappcar on the maikct as all wool." " . , Rags or "clips are carbonized onlv when cotton is present in them and the process is not always applied, says Mrs. Kclley's report. Of tifty-one shoddy, yarn or cloth mills, only three had Carbonizing tanks; in the remaining ones where sllodily wns made, the lags or clips were fed direct from the bales into the machine.. Xot only in the collecting of rag5 and in soiting them are the conditions deplorable, but in some textile mills vis ited were found llngrant violations of sanitary rulc. Of forty-eight plants twenty-nine failed to comply with the law to provide seats for the workers; only one provided a lunch room, in many mills the women reclined on the bales ot germ-laden rags during their lunch hour, HOSIERY BURNS IN MILL Fire in the hosiery mill of Herbert Biooks, at Hancock and Huntingdon streets, destrojed several boxes of hos iery valued at 300 early tliis morning.
