Boston Clothing Trade Faces Label Aid Plan
A report notes investigation of West shops in East Boston and Chelsea finding better conditions than New York areas. The Clothing Operatives Union proposes local manufacture with union labeled garments to certify health standards, but demand for such goods remains weak amid price and quality concerns. A single Boston establishment tests the plan with limited impact, while most dealers doubt tenement-sourced clothing dominates New York imports. Additional donations to the Kindergarten for the Blind are listed, with a total update and appeal for funds to complete a new building at 146 Franklin Street, Boston.
