A short periodical article describing a summer lace-making experiment at Greenwich House, a New York settlement house on the lower West Side, directed by Miss Katharine Lord. Over thirty girls and women were taught lace-making and several expert lacemakers were employed, with thread supplied and finished lace bought from the workers. It frames lace-making as home work for immigrant women, cripples and mothers, and mentions a similar program at South End House, Boston.

A 1907 magazine article in which a U.S. Department of Commerce and Labor official describes a visit to a silk factory in Kalamata, Greece. He observes women reeling raw silk on treadle wheels and young children working in steaming cocoon-soaking troughs for about five cents a day, from six in the morning to seven at night. The manager says Greece has no child labor laws. The article ends with a visit to a Catholic boys' school in Salonica.
