 * A Case History

**"'Of course, none of it makes sense,' he thought as he glanced at the crimson windows. 'Fifteen hundred or two thousand workers are slaving away without a break, in unhealthy conditions, producing inferior cotton print, are half-starved and only now and then find relief fom this nightmare in the pub. A hunded people supervise their work and the lives of these hundred supervisors are wasted entering fines in the record book, swearing and being unfair to the workers; only two or three of them - the so called bosses - enjoying the profits, althought they don't do any work themselves and have nothing but contempt for the cheap frabric. But what exactly are these profits, how do they use them? Mrs Lyalikov and her daughter are unhappy and it makes me sorry to see them in such a state. Only Miss Christina, that stupid old maid with her pince-nez, gets any pleasure out of life. As I see it, there's five factories turning out cheap cotton print for sale on the Eastern markets just to keep Miss Christina supplied with madeira and sturgeon.'"** **
