THE SIX INDUSTRY.
Textile Workers Trying to Improve
Conditions of Operatives.


For the past six months a vigorous
campaign of organization among the
silk workers of New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania has been carried on
by the United Textile Workers of
America, and. while much yet remains
to be done, the results so far have been
writes Joseph r. Buchanan in the New
York Journal. Six months ago Inter
national President John Golden sent
General Organizer Charles Miles into
the territory of the silk mills with in
structions to devote himself to the up
| buHuIng of the OrganiZa ton and to at
tempts at alternating the working con
ditiOns of the silk workers. Organizer
Miles has succeeded in establishing a
strong local union In Paterson and III
strengthening the organization in
Brooklyn and Manhattan.
President Golden says that the tex
tile workers are making satisfactory
progress in most of the factory dis
tricts of the country and that the in
crease in the per capita tax to 10 cents
a quarter has so streuA. Tened the gen
eral organization that ii can go ahead
with its work of upbuilding with a
bright prospect of soon making radical
improvements in the conditions sur
rounding the workers in the textile
industry.
During the next few months Or
ganiZer Miles will give special atten-
ton to a particularly fragrant evil
which has grown up in one branch of
he silk industry. This is the branch
If thread spinning, or silk throwing"
as it is expressed in the vernacular of
the trade. Most Of this work Is done
in the small mining towns of Penn
sylvania by girls between the ages Of
eight and twenty, who are subjected
to a most pernicious sweating system.
Small shops are opened in these
towns, where there is no employment
for poor girls, as they cannot work in
the mills. The boss Of the shop con
tracts to furnish the spun silk to the
weaving mills on a commission. which
rises as the wages of the silk throw
ers'' in his shop decline. The less they
make the more he makes. He gets n
great part Of his silk thrown" by
learners" which is the star trick in
the sweating game. BY working
twelve to fourteen hours day a train
ed and industrious girl of sixteen years
may earn So to s. per week.
Organizer Miles says that the silk
mill owners admit the evils Of the
sweating system In silk throwing"
but each concern justifies its action by
citing the fact that it has to accept
the conditions or give competitors an
advantage. Through this competition
ii is said. many of the mills were com
PEELED to shut down their spinning de
partments.
Miss Josephine Casey, a prominent
member Of the Chicago branch of the
WOmen's Trades Union league, has been
assisting Organizer Miles in investigat
ing conditions, especially among the
women and girl weavers in the silk in
dusuy. With her assistance, President
Golden says, the organization hopes to
do something toward improving the
conditions OF the women and girls In
the mills and also In the silk throw
ing" sweatshops of the small towns.
