Abstract
In Chicago, where it dates back scarcely a generation, the sweating system seems to be a direct outgrowth of the factory system; that is, the sweat-shops have gradually superseded the manufacturers’ shops. It increases with the demand for cheap clothing, the influx of cheap labor, and the consequent subdivision of the processes of manufacture. In the clothing trades in Chicago, three different sorts of shops have been developed, known among the employees as the “inside shops,” or those conducted on the factory system by the manufacturers themselves; the “outside shops,” or those conducted by the contractors; and the “home shops” or family groups.
