Tokiko and Toyoko began to argue at the dormitory before bedtime. Toyoko said that Tokiko had made a deliberate mistake to encourage Mineko but that it was no good. And Tokiko told Toyoko to stop being so snobbish.
After the quarrel, Toyoko unexpectedly obediently accepted the words of Tokiko.
After the trouble of the night, all these female workers friendship deepened further. On the next day, thanks to the other girls' encouragement, Mineko finally finished the day without stopping the belt conveyor.
