dence of some physical weakness. but

operatives are more comfortable in the
summer in the mills than they were when
engaged in the hot sun on the farms is
justifable.
in spite Of the sensational literature
that Is flooding the country at this time,
In one form or another, much of it garbled,
q great deal Of it written and foisted on
the public for purposes Of trade, 1 have
found the employer in nearly every case
q most humane man. He is often neglect
full and indifferent, his brain filed with
commercial problems, and he does not think
always outside Of that groove.
when he sees the advantages not ONLY
from a humane standpoint, but financial
as we'll, in improving the condition of his
people he is eager TO do as others have done
before hin and in many instances to 90 a
step further. He has a respect for facts
In place of theories and my experience of
ten years has taught me never to seek to
interest him until l can give him what he
wants, until I can show how theory has
eliminated In reality and hand him the
proof.
Through the humane instincts of the mill
owners educational opportunities have
been secured to the children. Kindergar-
tens and schools are supported in whole or in
part by all the operators. The public
school system in the South is still in an
imperfect condition, and furthermore, ap-
preparations are insufficient to maintain
the schools longer than four months in the
year.
where the cotton mill village is an I'm
Incorporated town the employer supports
the ki~ndergartens and schools entirely for
eight months in the year. In one village.
where the population is 5000, there are 200
operatives and $50 children are there being
educated at the present time by the mill
owner.

In spite of the knowledge that 80 many Of
them have succeeded here. Letters don't
do much good, however. We are mover
surprised to find in the office, the week after
we have written, the applicants that we
have most discouraged. 1t is amazing to
see the number that do find work here
when in their own homes IL was impossible
for them to get a start"
There are many instances of the success
Of Southern women in New York which
agree with the testimony of this woman.
Hear the story of ono woman who is making
a good living now:
L had taught school for nearly twenty
years IN q town OF about 100, 900 inhabitants
in the Middle West, although we like to call

able to use all my salary for myself at the

There is a lake at the mill Of mountain
water which covers about six acres. On
this q natatorium has been built by the
employers at a cost Of 81 500, with forty
bath IONS, where everything needful is
provided. This is, Of course, perfectly free.
"Aiany OF the factories and mills owned
by the members OF the federation are con-
sjdered mode plants. Ventilation has re
ceived especial consideration. The air is
changed completely in the workrooms every
fifteen minutes.
In a foundry the pipes which are used
in the winter for heating serve to bring
in the cool air in the summer, and great
comfort is afforded the moulders. In q
rolling mill galvanized iron pipes carry the
fresh air to the faces of the men occupied
at the rolls. Previously, in very hot
weather the men were frequently over

shut down the entire mill.

ceives immediate attention and the men

dents. This is particularly beneficial in
our business, because We have skilled
labor, and when a man is away his machine

Miss Books has taken pictures all over
the country, showing not only the i'm
provement, but as well some Of the condi-
ions that have not been improved. These
are the views that Miss Beeks exhibits ut

the force Of statistics she adds the testi-
mony of photographs taken on the spot
her work is more than half done.
One Of these pictures shows a room where
steampipes dry the wet clothes Of factory

long distances OF stormy mornings. An
other shows working girls laboriously
climbing stairs to the upper floors of the
factory, while a contrasting view exhibits
how their energy is conserved by the use
Of the elevator. One is that Of an esoalator

"In some Of the villages special provision

The dinner toters are children who take
lunches to the mills to their fathers and
perhaps mothers too.
