Northampton, Mass.,, Feb. ,12.—sil- ver and gold were thrown alv: v ves- terday to illustrate a talk on the waste represented by carelessness among factory workers of the Mec- Callum Hosiery Co. George B. Me- Callum, treasurer of the company, told the operatives that in a week 11,760 needles, worth 1 1-4 cents each each had been lost. The effect was the same, he said, as if $147 were thrown from the shop window, whereupon the treasurer took from his desk a pile of 147 sil- ver dollars and tossed them out of the window. Silk scattered under foot was much destroyed as if thrown away, he added. Estimating the amount of loss from this cause last week at $50, he tossed a shower of gold coina among the workers. Some listened to the treasurer’s later remarks, others scrambled for the gold, while many rushed out of doors to search for the silver in the snow. as BRAKEMAN New London, Feb. Benjamin W.
