Withdrawal ct Industry IN Empty
Threat Of Employers.

Threat Of Employers.
Nothing Is more difficult TO estimate
accurately than rle effect Of labor lcg-
tslation upon employers. writes Flor
ence Kelley in the Survey. I have
known Of many threats Of employers
to move away frnn, u state by reason
of proposed labor law. Never have I
known one really To so. For instance. Ia
the glass industry In Illinois none has
gone. aud the industry has increased
very considerably since night work Of
children was stopped and the eight
hours 4 day introduced for them.
There Is always the threat OF the New
Jersey glass manufacturers that II the
night work ~ boys IL stopped they will
go 10 Maryland or West Virginia. Be
cause every year the number OF boys
employed diminishes rs the industry L.
more efficiently orgauixed believe this
to be an empty threat.
When cotton mills have gone south
from New England there have entered
into their calculation free or cheap
water power. freedom from taxes.
cheap coal and cheap adult labor. The
statement that they went TO escape
labor legislation must be considered In
the light Of these things. One Massa-
chusetts cotton mill Is commonly said
to have been moved to Rhode Island
by reason Of the ten hour law. But the
considerations as to taxes. rent. water
power. ETC., are unknown.
The only industry have seen move
into Pennsylvania. where labor legis-
lation has always been Q dead letter.

the laws had little to do with Il. They
are nowhere sumcientiy Rigorous to
make much difference to employers.

night in great tempest OF soul She had
deliberately dashed away the chalioe OF
bliss from her thirsty lips. and when the
full meaning Of her renunciation dawned
upon her she almost wished she had not
been so precipitate. II Is true she had
not forever closed the door against the
ccnsummation for which her heart was
crying out. yet she knew herself well
enough 10 be afraid lest all her good
resolutions. forged in moment OF white
heat. would bend and break at the first
weight Of temptation. She knew her na-
ture well enough TO know that she had
set herself d well-nigh impossible task

spiritual elevation Of mind still remained
with her. and for the first time IN her life
she prayed that she might live a life

the whole scene over In her mind; she saw

As Lucy Chancellor had shocked the
matrons and county families for miles
around by her life of reckless frivolity
so no less did she shock them by her sud
den assumption OF charity and philan-
thrOpy As men had wondered how she
had come into touch with all the ac-

rounded her, so equally they wondered
