TO THE EDITOR THE news:
SIR: noticed an editorial i'm your paper
OF last evening. 1t was the same kind
of talk We are always treated too. Now / |
will give you my views and / ought to
know as L have been q weaver for % |
years, ten in the west of England |
and twelve in this country |
American manufacturer did as much |
work as the English manufacturer, his |
profits would be enormous and strikes |
would be thing Of the past. The Eng |
lish employer comes down to the Office |
about o'clock and gives his |
Ss help, il "nlES a1H ne s Ne Wanted w hiss as
none OF these things are left to
the bosses. II the boss has got any COM
plant to make he makes it and then the
workman is sent for and the matter sifted
between master and man. He goes home
down again and walk through the mill, |
very often stopping TO speak to his en-
ployees. Here IL a man wants work he
has got to see the boss, and the
employer does not know or care
who his workmen are so long as the work
ts done. Over there there isn't any super
intendent or treasurer to pay. The con-
sequence is all the profits 60 into the
employers pocket. I worked at q large
mill OF about three hundred and fifty
looms. The mill was run by two gentle
men, and they looked after the whole BUSH
ness themselves and employed a salesman.
That mill has never shut down for lack
OF orders and / have yet to hear OF
strike.
III was asked who worked for should
name the boss. II was in England and
was asked who / worked for
should name the employer and
rs long as the English employer of
I he west of England treats his help like
men you will hear OF very few strikes in
he west of England. AS long as men are
kept under boss rule and super rule, Just
so long there will be strikes, as it don't
take much TO cause a strike. Look at
Lawrence for instancel
WEST OF ENGLAND.
