Outwork in Univholesome Premises (Section 108).
One case alone occurred of this nature in 1925. This is the case
referred to in the overcrowding cases in the Housing Section. Prior

the employer had ceased to send work to this homeworker becausc of
the verminous condition of the work when it was returned.
