A workman stands beside machinery for carding cotton at the Washington St. plant of Union Mills, a men's underwear manufacturer in Hudson, New York. Cotton floss covers the floor, clings to machinery, and fills the air. An investigator noted the need for exhaust fans that would remove the floss and reduce the risk of fire.
