71—Palliasse-cower.

Rate paid.—4d. per pair.

Remarks.—To make a pair it involves 17 yards of binding and 3 yards of plain machining. The binding has to be carefully done to insure the two thicknesses of canvas and both edges of the braid being caught. If the stitching slips the error must be made good by hand. The work is very heavy, the canvas dusty, and its smell is objectionable. Worker pays 9d. per week for thread, and employs a lad at 8d.a week to fetch and return the work.
