SCOPE AND METHOD Proportion of Industry Represented Data on earnings and hours of work were obtained from 36 hosiery plants and for more than 10,000 hosiery workers. These constitute 12 per cent of the hosiery plants in the state and nearly one-fourth of the hosiery workers. Table 1.

The process of manufacture of the two types of hosiery is distinetly different as are the general conditions of employment. The difference in employ- ment conditions may be to some extent a reflection of the general in- dustrial prosperity which obtains in the two types of hosiery manu- facture, as the manufacture of full-fashioned hosiery is a growing, prosperous industry while the manufacture of seamless hosiery is de- clining steadily .** More seamless than full-fashioned hosiery plants were included in the study, but the number of employes engaged in the manufacture of full-fashioned hosiery was much greater than the number engaged in the manufacture of seamless hosiery. In five plants both full- fashioned and seamless hosiery were manufactured, In most cases the plant was engaged primarily in the manufacture of one type of hosiery and carried on only finishing processes for the other type of work. The classification of the hosiery plants studied is as follows : Table 2.
