ty, today goes on trial before the SUI

in the hands of Assistant Attorney Gen

being taken
Only one other case under this provi-
sion of the constitution has been carried
out, that against the sheriff of Noble

The Gentleman From Georgia
Picked the Persimmon.
Major Jerome Jones of Allan
ia, Georgia, sab, and he picked
the American Federation of La
Dor convention persimmon right
off'n the tree, sab. That's just
what he done, sab. 1t wasn't no
body but Jerome that done it,
nohow. There were plenty of
people from other towns on the
spot with long poles, but when it
came to welding the pole Majah
Jerome Jones had all the rest of
the bunch backed up against the
kitchen sink and gasping for
breath.
Clad in his Lew Dockstader
overcoat, and some other gar
ments, and a replica of the hat
worn by General John A. Gordon
tipped gracefully over his
st'b'rd ear, Majah Jones circu-
lated and percolated through the
milling delegates a few times
and it was all off with the rest
of the ambitious cities. Majah
Jones had the convention longing
for Atlanta as hen 1ongeth for
her chicks at eventide, or as a
hobo longs for a hand-out in the
early morning after an unsuccess-
night before. One or two dele
gates were a little obstreperous
at first, but after Majah Jones
had steered 'em up against a lit
tie something with green leaves
sticking up out of the center, and
promised them the real thing in
stead of an imitation, even the
most obstreperous yielded.
This is how it comes that At
1anta, Georgia, came to be select
ed as the place of holding the
1911 convention of the American
Federation of Labor.

HORSESHOE LUCK
How Luck Was Given to the Lit

horses-to shoe his Single hoof-
Knowing who his customer was.
Dunstan tied him tightly to the
wall and proceeded with his job,
but purposely put the devil in so
much pain that he roared for
mercy. And it was not until he
promised that he would never
again enter place where he saw
a horseshoer displayed that Dun
stan would release his captive

plains the almost universal be-
lief that a horseshoe over the

"SWEATED" INDUSTRY.

How Garment Workers Are Ex-
plotted by Greedy Bosses.
Garment making is "sweat-
ed' industry.
The garment worker does not
make coat, or a vest, or a pair
of trousers in shop talk.
She only makes very small part
of the garment.
She sews on the buttons, and
nothing else. Or she makes but
tonholes or faces the pockets; or
bastes, or stitches the under col
lar, or presses the armholes, or
raises the armholes.
There are six people engaged
in making the different parts of
the pockets. There are fifty
eight persons working on one
coat. Each does one little thing,
and nothing else. She has be-
come a machine, or rather a small
cog in a machine.
Much of the work is "piece-
work" i. e., is paid by the piece.
Buttonho1es On coats are from
1 1-2 to cents, depending upon
whether the girl is a "greenhorn
or an expert. If she is "green"
The wageworker., 1910-12-30

she only gets 12 cents Getting
only SO little, and being necessar-
lily slow, she ''earns' less than a
dollar a day. Breaking of but
tons, or even of thread, in fact,
every little accident, is fined"
and deducted from the wage at
the end of the week.
The workers are under fore
men" or "forewomen," where pro-
motion depends upon the amount
of work they get done and the
low labor cost of the garments
produced under their direction
This induces speeding up" 1t
puts premium upon filming the
employees 1t makes the fore
man" slave driver. Many OF
the workers refuse to become
foremen, because of the inhuman-
ity a good foreman must practice
When a worker reaches a Ger
tain speed-gets to make a fair
wage-she is put upon weekly
wage.
The boss always wins-always
has the advantage.
Much of the work is taken
home" if the places in which
most of the strikers live can be
called home One of the girls
told us of how, by working from
Z to 12 at night, she could make
63 cents, and that the extra light
only cost 3 cents.
There are eioht different ma
tionalities employed in the Chi
cago shops. Most of the workers
cannot speak English. They are
poor when they arrive from Eur
ope They are Industrious, and
go to work at anything and any
price.
Thus they become the helpless
victims of a conscienceless,
greedy set of men, who exploit
them in a most shameless man
ner.
The moral effect is deplorable-
Young men and women are
driven to vice and crime.
The American people must pro-
tect these foreign waits. We
owe it to them; we owe it to hui
manity. We owe it to ourselves
