Does Faulkner depict any United Womens Garment Workers in _The Sound 
and the Fury_?  If so, that would be analogous to Pynchon's depiction 
of Dora slave laborers -- the ones who manufactured the rockets at 
Mittelwerk, the ones that Pokler encounters there on pp 432-433 -- in 
GR. If Faulkner doesn't depict the garment workers, your comparison 
is nonsense.
