THIS IS WORSE THAN 1s 70 ONE

Today the work is done in mammoth
factories employing in many cases 500
or 900 hands. They come to work at
the sounding of whistle and
the same signal notifies them Of the
time to depart. This is a prison con-
dition in our American cities. A man
enters the factory, turns a key that
not only locks him In, but registers in
the office, telling the master that his
slave is present and accounted for with
the plea tackled on, please don't dock

If shoe machinery was run to it's full
est capacity, it would be possible to
make enough shoes in six months to
supply the 100000 people of the Unit
ed States. AS things are now, all must

ers all the time.
In Haverhill during the business
times, even, hundreds of shoemakers
walk the streets in idleness searching
for employment, while their wives and
children are at home hungry.
After hunting through Haverhil for
work, a shoemaker goes to Lynn to
find the same conditions there. A man
then degenerates into a hobo and is,
to use shoema1ers' parlance, on his
uppers.
He has to approach back door of
some house and beg for a crust to eat
The moment he does that he is ruined
beyond redemption. He becomes
beast and loses every iota of his man

so much about Everything, as I said
before, comes from the earth, and the
only thing that prevents people getting
at the natural resources is the concen-
tration of property in the hands OF the
few.
Mayor Chase took the shoe industry
to illustrate the conditions now preva-
leat.
About IS years ago, he said, New
England was dotted with little shops
where men made shoes by hand His
only tools were a pair of pincers, a
hammer, nails and pegs.
\ man was his own master in those
days, and possessed a certain amount
of individuality. He could stop work
when he pleased. He had the right to
nscribe over his door the word Shoe
maker" Today all this is changed.
He is no longer a shoemaker, but the
64th part of a shoemaker for it now
takes Ga people to make shoe owing
to the subdivision of labor. A man
cannot today strut through Haverhill
and Brockton and say that he is a
shoemaker They Used to say that it
took nine tailors to make a man, but
now you see that it takes GA shoemak-

GLOOMY PICTURE OF THE PHILIPPINES AS
A FEL . FOR AMERICAN AGRICULTURAL ARTS

ance to most americans qvho think they see tn the
Philippines a ae7V field for industry and 70edIbt.
Care 7uaS taken also in the queries to learn
7Uhether or not americans can labor IN the
Philippines, and If not, 7ohdt people cdn 4
series of adLHabIe d11s70ers 7UaS recei0ed to the
inquiry in reference to the effect of the climate
upon american energy. The ad9atrtage or dis
ad7antage Of giving to the nati7'eS of the Philip
pines the rights of american citizenship and
of introducing and enforcing American labor
lazus on the islands zcas also discussed.
The qnsq0ers of the Oregon troops TO these
questions constitute information of extremely
great vaIpte Most of the troops belie0e that the
land of THE Philippines is 70eH adapted for
american agriculture 7oith the exception of the
cltlti1ation of 7UIleat This opinion might gt0e
rise TO an optimistic cie7O of the situation, but
the soldiers add in the same breath that nearly
all of the agricultural land, and certainly the
best of it, is in the possession Of the church dn-
thorities It is probable therefore, since dgrlcnl-
twiSts must buy the land, they 70ould prefer to
bnv in locality little nearer home than the
Philippines.
The soldiers of Oregon are almost to a man
in emphatic opposition e1en to the suggestion Of
making the nati0es of the Philippines citiSens of
the United States, although the opinion seems to
bre1dI that american labor ld1US could dd7Gn-
tageonsIv be bnt in operation on the islands. rs
for americans 7oorking in the Philippines the
soldiers declare that it is utterly out of the qheS
tiou The heat is too intense and the climate
generally too eneroating. The Philippines are the
last lands on the earth for poor men to seek
7oiti purpose of mPr0a'mg their condition.
The discussion of these interesting questions 70U
be fond in detail in the follo70ug interviews.

ley's civil-war record has been of i'm
mense value to him, and it was not so
very much of record, either. A ma
tive of North Carolina, Senator Haw-
ley became New Englander by adop-
ton when he was ready to begin the
practice of law. He soon drifted into
newspaper work, becoming the editor
of the Hartford Press and afterward
of the well-known Hartford Courant.
Then came the opportunities which the
war furnished-Hawley came out of the
service brevet major general. There
after he was a good deal in politics.
He served two terms in the house of
representatives and in 1881 his career
in the senate began. He will be eighty
years old when the term expires for
which he has just been elected. 1t had
been talked in political circles that
Senator Hawley was to have the fight
of his life, this time. Indeed, the cleo
ton was made bit lively, but a few
ballots settled it.
