Today, thirty years would be an inadequate estimate, for some factories, like the Votkinsky, have been purposely ruined by the Whites, in others the lathes and other machinery for building and repairing locomotives are worn out, many of the skilled engineers were killed in the war with Germany, many others in defending the revolution, and it will be long before it will be possible to restore to the workmen or to the factories the favorable material conditions of 1912-13.
Having passed up one street for a block, Baxter and Flapp made a turn and pursued their course down a thoroughfare running parallel to the river. Here were located a number of factories and mills, with several tenement houses and low groggeries between. "They are after us yet," panted Flapp, after running for several minutes. "Say, I can't keep this up much longer."
An architectural city! There were banks, churches, cathedrals, market-places, factories, hotels, stores, mansions, wharves; an exchange, a theatre; public buildings of all kinds, down to the office of the Eden Stinger, a daily journal; all faithfully depicted in the view before them. 'Dear me! It's really a most important place! cried Martin turning round.
His politics was a kind of religion, and it did not prove upon analysis to be either so fantastical or so fanatical as she had believed at first. As the days shortened, he would prolong their walk until the shops and factories discharged their employees upon the streets.

Over the hills were other factories where the same race was going on, where other masters were competing, and other hands were laying down life that they themselves and their little ones might live examples of the strange paradox that only those can save their lives who lose them.
The infantry went over the top throwing bombs and piled themselves up into mounds of silence. Nations far away toiled day and night in factories and all that they might achieve this repellant desolation. The innocence of the project made one smile a handful of women sailing from America to reconstruct! To reconstruct will take ten times more effort than was required to destroy.
When the new United States Bank suddenly began a vicious and relentless campaign against all other banks of issue in an ill-advised effort to force them immediately to a specie basis, loans were called in everywhere, the circulation was greatly contracted, prices fell, manufacturers and merchants were unable to meet their obligations, factories shut down, mercantile firms went into bankruptcy, banks closed their doors, and business everywhere was completely prostrated.
This is especially the case among seamstresses, and in nearly all our factories ... in other lines of labor the wages paid to females in this State are generally higher than elsewhere." Rent, food, and clothing cost more in California than in the Eastern States.
The movement was large and unctuous, and it impressed Kate considerably. 'I took the liberty to stop, for you seemed so interested that I felt curious to know what could be worth looking at in those chimneys and cinder-mounds. 'I wasn't looking at the factories, but at the hills. The view from here is considered very fine.
