The following descriptions of guild organizations and operations in the San Francisco apparel industry was based primarily on (1) the author's interviews with 75-year-old Bing Lai during the months of March through June 1967; (2) interview of 69-year-old Park Hong Ng by Gilbert Woo, Victoria Chun, and the author on Nov. 10, 1974; and (3) the author's follow-up interview of Park Hong Ng on Jan. 5, 1975. Bing Lai immigrated to San Francisco in 1910 and joined the guild soon afterward. He was a sewing machine operator during practically his entire working career in the United States until his retirement. Park Hong Ng immigrated in 1923 and soon became a sewing machine operator. He was an officer of the guild for many years until its closing. The information they provided was supplemented by documentation published in government reports and in the news media. **********
