At the noon meeting Of the Lynn Labor

replied to the report OF tie Arkwright
Club. He said the wage OF the worker
is the measure Of progress and the stan
dard OF civilization. Every reduction
means less business. less demand for
goods. and more bankruptcy among
manufactures themselves Every cut
down means lower civilization and u
lower grade Of citizens. Cheap workers
are always iliterate and automatic
drudges. Ii wages are lowered in the
North they will be forced down still
lower in the South. In this State the
averge operative produces annually goods
to the value of $3.50 and in North Caro-
lima, the average product is Slll5, 10
less than the product here. Even under
the present conditions capitalists want
too much. Why not stir up the Southern
operatives to demand more wages and
less hours? Why not send ten energetic

The Boston typewriter girl, it must

she has adopted the new touch meth
od' Of writing. Instead Of having each

these blank keyed typewriters are in use
in Boston, and the up to date typewriter
girl must know how to use one if she
hopes to succeed
If you are an amateur typewriter
yourself, you will appreciate the degree
of skill required to write on this kind
of a machine The average person So l.
dom uses more than four fingers in strik.
ing the keys, while many men and wo-
men who can write at fairly good rate
use only three. Put sheet of paper
over the keyboard and see how many
letters you can locate correctly Even
skilled operators keep their eyes on the
keyboard fully two-thirds of the time,
but with the touch method the operator
can do almost as good work when blind
folded as with unobstructed eyes. On a
single banked machine there are three
rows OF letters and one of figures. In
the two middle rows there are just ten
letters each, and the hands are held
poised over these rows so that the fin.
gers cover all but the two letters in the
center OF the row. By learning the ex-
act position Of each letter and figure the
operator can keep track of the position
OF her fingers, even though she is not
looking at them.
Miss May +. Darlington is probably
the most expert operator in Boston. She
uses the new system and not long ago
wrote los words minute while blind
folded, taking unfamiliar matter. When
it came to writing familiar matter, she
wrote l44 words minute. There are
several operators in Boston who can
take court testimony directly without
using stennsraphic notes but none has
as yet surpassed Miss Carrington's rec.
