Remarks
*It vas a hard life thLt time with the boarders, with the
living. And you knowl But still, between people, between
workers and boss wee nor. Raentalukeit" then it is today. I
was working in a pleat for over a eouple years. They used to
forms up the "green" machines, learning the trade. The boss
-3e
would say to the greena. "What's going to be the purpose taohe
lus? Why don't you work u for yourself?" Already is beginning
the union. The bosses wanted creenas. So the boss would *one
up to a greenhorn and tell him. "I'll give you a way. The same
as I did. You take up a couple of girls, you'll make a living."
As I told you, it was an unwritten law. Ten dollars and work
two weeks for nothing. They used to give you the tic girls to
learn them. And the ten dollars he used to take. OR THE FORE*
MAN. After you learned them for a short time, they used to take
them away from you and then they give you other ones. If you
want to do ite alrieht. Otherwise you had to leave the place.
I had a girl. I don't know. .c4.10 was a Inahr" (simpleton).
We used to call her "the horse." She knew one thing to make.
I thought she's alright, so I don't watch what she's doing. All
of a sudden I hear in that shop a noise! Terrible! I don't know
he's the boss. The boss never used to come into the shop. The
foreman comes over to me. "This is the boss, Er. Limon." I
didn't even knew the man. "Look at your work" he says to me.
Ilook. It was something terrible. Instead of answering, I
was aniline. "What are you laughing," he says. "What can I
'do? I didn't make. The girl eede it." "GC home right away."
lie sends me away. And then he -4?ns right beck to the fore
lady. "Lena, is that man married or single?" I said. "Next
year I'm marrying." "Lena," he says, "give him back his job."
That's what I mean. "Mentsluokeit." Not like today."
