A short 1913 editorial note from a mining journal about labor leader William D. Haywood's claim, made during the Paterson, N.J. silk strike, that silk dresses are mostly tin. It quotes a silk manufacturer who confirms that silk is commonly 'weighted' with tin (tin chloride, or 'tin crystals'), at up to about 40 to 60% of the weight. The writer adds a light-hearted comment on the tin market.
