M. , with forty-five minutes' interval for dinner, except on Saturdays, when the hours were 6 a. M. To 12 noon. The night shift worked from 6. 40 p. M. To 6 a. M. , with only fifteen minutes about midnight for refreshments. The manager told me that if a longer rest were given the hands would fall asleep. On Saturdays the night shift started at noon, and worked on without any stoppage of the engine until 9 p. M. The engine therefore ran twenty-three hours a day for five days and fifteen hours on... the sixth day, making a total run of 130 hours a week. There was no interchange of personnel between the day and the night shifts ; one set of men, women, and children worked always by day, another set THE AMERICAN COTTON INDUSTRY always by night. The only exception to this rule was the manager himself, who had no night substitute. * But do you come here at night too ?' I asked him. ' I don't always stay all night, ' he answered simply ; and his words revealed him as at once the instrument and the victim of oppression.
