SOME LABOR HISTORY.

All the writer's on the early labor
movement agree that the two cities
most prominent in the struggle of Or
gantzed labor from 1925 to 1851 were
Boston and New York. Two English
labor leaders George Henry and Fred
er1ck w. Evans, landed In New York
in 1920 and soon began to exercise a
perceptible influence upon American
thought. They were the pioneers in
the publication of a labor press by
Issuing the Workingmen's Advocate,
which was succeeded by the Daily
Sentinel and finally by Young Amer
lea
The length of working day in 1926
varied from IL to Is hours. The New
England mills generally ran 13 hours a
day the year round. The regulations
of the factories were cruel and op-
pressive to a degree. Operatives were
taxed by the company for the support
of religion. Habitual absence from
church was punished by the Lowell
Manufacturing company with dismissal
from employment, and in other respects
the life Of the employees outside the
factories was regulated as we'll as ther
nailed down and the operatives de-
on the part Of 1000 women on account
of the tyrannical and oppressive treat
ment Is recorded.
Women and children were urged by
the use Of a cowhide and an instance
is recorded of an eleven-year-old girl
whose leg was broken by a billet of
wood. In Mendon a boy of twelve
drowned himself in pond to escape
factory labor. Wages in the mills
were small, adults earning between IS
cents and II cents a day.
John Mitchell in his "Organized La
bor' says: From 1885 to 1929 the
earnings Of the American workingman
were higher than ever before in the
American history. The unskilled
workmen such as sawyers and hod
for twelve haurs' work where they pre-
viously received so cents from sunup
to shutdown. During the winter, how
ever, wages were much lower. Men
who could earn in the summer from62h
to 80 cents day were glad to re-
ceive a smaller sum in the winter"
According to J. B. McMaster, the re-
Enumeration Of women was, as it is to-
day, lower than that of men and their
opportunities for employment incom-
parably less. Women might bind
shoes, sew rags, fold and stitch books,
become spoilers or make coarse shirts
and duck pantaloons at or 10 cents
apiece. The making of shirts was
sought after because these garments
could be made In the lodgings Of the
seamstress, who was commonly the
mother of little family and often a
widow. Yet the most expert could not
finish more than nine shirts a week,
for which she might receive 70 or 80
cents. Fifty cents week seemed to
have been about the average earnings
at shirtmaking.
1t was about 1926 when the condi-
lions of the American workman had
already begun to improve. that consid-
cradle unrest appeared among the la
boring classes, and from this time to
the outbreak Of the civil war there was
gradual evolution toward a higher
standard Of life and labor

HEARST AND THE PRINTERS

HEARST AND The PRlNlEftS.
Last week we gave space to the
able editorial on the printers strike
taken from the Chicago American.
The. article has had a wide circula-
ton in the labor press and is recog-
nized by them as being one of the
most powerful appeals for fair play
and the use of common sense. Mr..
Hearst has gone further. From the
Western Laborer we clip the follow
ing:
"The officers of Big g. of New
York, waited upon the management
of the Journal and asked him to dis
continue the Butterick patterns ad-
vertisement appearing in all Of
Hearst's newspapers. The manager
said it was an important matter in
volving contract of about $4,000
and that he would have to telegraph
Mr.. Hearst in California Mr.. hearst
Immediately telegraphed back order
asked the privilege of contributing
$4,000 to No. 6's strike fund. The
officers politely declined the offer,
saying the membership no doubt ap-
preciated the gift, but that the union
was well supplied with money. New
ertheless he wished they wouli call
on him in case they run short of
funds.
II forgot to state that IS conlposit-
c.rs struck in Butterict' besides 90
pressmen and feeders, AZ electrotyp-
ers and stereotypers anil about 10
photo-engravers.

Of meanness we recommend our

You'd our comprehension how any

killing the goose that lays the gold
en-. egg, Possibly !; the Ii condition
there cited Is true and the company
has been generous to their help.
Does that prove, that the printers
should not make any demands for a
shorter work day? No doubt the
men employed by that company en-
couraged by their kindness, strained
every nerve to give in return their
best efforts. If not no doubt the
Hill Company would have very soon
cut out the generosity business The
union is not asking for sentiment.
It wants pay for services rendered
and that only: If some employer
thinks that by paying a little bonus
the men will be encouraged to push
the work along, it is their privilege
to pay it. When capitalists learn
that their employees have rights and
that their business is to respect those
rights; that their business is to run
their business on business principles
and that those principles include the
proper respect for American citizens
who live under the flag of liberty,
then will all this agitation and strik-
ing be reduced to a minimum. The
printers strike could have been set
tied last summer on a fair and equal
able basis if the Typothetae had been
willing to treat with President Lynch
and his colleagues who went to their
meeting at Niagara Falls. This dole
full whine they now send up is caused
by their own action and they are be-
ginning to find out that they are up
against stone wall that last summer
they thought they could break down
