Loom and Spindle e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Whenever the history of economic condi tions in this country shall be written, the author will express his gratitude for all works giving the details of especial epochs and phases of ih dustrial life. Among them he will find no more interesting experience than that attending the entrance of women to the industrial field. The author of Loom and Spindle contributes something more than her personal experiences at Lowell during the early years of the textile factories, - she contributes an inside view of the workings of a new system of labor, which had been transplanted from England, and which originated with the application of power to spin ning and weaving.
