NEEDLEWORK BECOMES the SOURCE OF INCOME NoW | Porto Ricans Turming to This For Revenue Now That Farms Are Ruined, Mayaguez, Porto Rico, Scpt. 27 (®) —With coffee plantations and sugar cane heavily damaged, Mayaguez to- day looked to needlework as its im- mediate salvation from the devasta- tien wrought by the tropical hurri- cane, Before this west coast city was hit by the storm, coffee exports were its chief assets, with needlework second and sugar third. The city proper was practically unharmed by the hurricane, but ' nevertheless it was hard hit: economically, and depend- ence 4 being placed on handiwork to provide rice and beans for the marses. Normally the payrolis for needle- work reach $50.000 weekly. Not all this I8 spent in Mavaguez, but it is quick money which gets into imme- diate circulatton and the payrolls come chiefly from New York linen importers. Mayaguez specializes in pajamas, pillow slips, ha.dkerchiefs, chil- dren’s elothes, curtains, table linens, and hand made linens and silks. ‘Thousands are employed in factories Ker but particularly in homes scattered along the west coast of Porto Rico and back into the foot hills and mountains. Commercial needlework is essen- tially a home industry and so at- tracts workers who could not bu concentrated in factories. Women nd children form the bulk of the workers. But even men, who have been accustomed for years to wield- ing mothing lighter than a machete, have trained their fingers to do the most dainty fancy work.
