Mother Jones Speaks.

Mother Mary Jones addressed q large
crowd in st. Roses hall last night.
The meeting had been arranged spec
tally in reference to the silk mill
strike, and on the platform We're about
fifty of the striking employees. Henry
Collins, of the Central Labor union,
presided over the meeting. He first
introduced Edward Faagan, president
OF the silk mill union. who explained
the grievances of the employees. The
crates with which the silk is weighed
formerly weighed about two pounds
each. Now they have become broken
and in some cases weigh but II few
ounces For this difference in the
weight of the crates, he says the en-
ploEes must prepare 50 much extra
silk without getting any extra pay.
In conclusion, he said that the strili-
ors are perfectly willing TO have the
trouble settled by arbitration. The
employees want q dollar day.
\ young man named King, who is
among the strikers. told how his
wages had decreased several dollars.
and then Mr.. Collins introduced
Mother Jones, who was rcceiyed with
loud applause. She said the American
people was born in a strike and now
in the closing hours of the Nineteenth
century. even the children have to
strike for their rights. She scored the
mill owners for the way the children
are dragged almost from the cradle
to the factory, and she then scolded
the parents FOR allowing such condi-
tions to prevail. She denounced an i'll
dustrial system which allows the chill
dren of the poor to shed their blool
for the education and pamrering of
the children of the rich. The wage
slavery of today, she asserted, is as
bad, every whit, as was the man slav-
cry of bygone days.
She roundly scored the mill bosses
for the filthy language used in hear
ing of the girls and boys, and deplored
the corrupting influences into which
they are thrown. Such conditions will
but foster q race Of puny. good for
nothing men and women. She bewail-
ed the fact that the children are drag
Ged so young from the school room.
We will build iails and then make the
criminals to fill them. We won't give
them an opportunity to earn an hon
orable living before, but we will keep
them for nothing after they have been
forced to commit crime. Mother Jones.
in closing, urged that a committee be
appointed to hear the grievances OF
the employees and then confer with
the mill owners and see if some agree
ment cannot be reached
Following out her suggestion. the
following committee was appointed:
Joseph Johns. Patrick Toolan. A. J..
Padden. u. NJ. Davis. Thomas Mooney.
BARLEY Righlin, John Walsh, John
Scanlon, George Srall and John
Hermes. a meeting Of the employees
will be held and the committee, after
becoming thoroughly acquainted with
the circumstances, will wait on the
operators and endeavor to effect set
tlement. About fifty new members
