to some extent to the existing methods of marketing. The rapidly changing styles in hosiery shades have brought about a situation that makes the manufacturer feel that he does not dare to dye and finish his product until his orders have been received ; and the result is that the finishing departments tend to run on either an overtime or an un- dertime schedule. Variation ¥rom Scheduled Weekly Hours by Geographical District Berks County had a higher proportion of full-time work for full- fashioned hosiery workers than any other geographical area. There was no overtime in this area for women workers and very little for men. Women in Berks County, however, had more undertime work than in any other area. The greatest amount of overtime was re- ported for both men and women in Northampton County. Philadelphia County also reported considerable overtime for men. Only one-fifth of the men and a third of the women employed in full-fashioned hosiery plants in Philadelphia County worked their regular scheduled hours. In the seamless hosiery industry the number of employes for whom in- formation on hours of work were recorded was too small to admit of any significant eomparison by geographical district (Chart 6).
