GIRL IN THE SILK MILLS.
One of Skill Receives Only $5.25 a
Week,

Florence Lucas Sanville. I'm Harpers Magazine.
Industrially life presents a vista on
days of toll in which the work never
varies, and the weekly recompense never
rises above the 1925 mark. We have
met many girls who, after eight or nine
years of work in one factory, were re-
ceiving only 50: and I have talked with
a few others in a mill where the wage
standard was especially low, who. after
ten years of work. were being paid 81 a
week. There is no incentive to develop
Skill since the only reward of merit is
the imposition of more disagreeable and
difficult tasks. The clearest instance
which I recall of this was in the case
of a young Italian who was assigned as
my learner at doubling. She was a
pretty girl of about eighteen, with a face
striking in its clear pallor and its sweet
and gentle expression-very different
from the rather rough Slav and Irish
girls working on the neighboring frames.
'Maggie's the best doubler on this floor"
confided one Of these same Irish girls
to me. She's a great learner, too.
There hain't no one can tie up ends so
fast on this floor; she's been here seven
years.
So 1 was impelled to ask Margaret how
much she received for this skill. Five

The unionist movement in South Africa
was characterized by features which
have no parallel in Canadian or Austria
liam history. The union has been &C
complished seven years after protract-
ed war between the English and the
Dutch. and by the joint efforts of the
rival leaders. whose minds have been
ripened and broadened by the bitter ex-
perience of division. Economic causes
of special characer assisted the proc
ess a great wave of commercial de-
preston. following hard upon the golden
expectations of the peace, passed over the
whole country, but made itself specially
felt in the coast colonies. Here the

But far beyond the rolling hills of the
Karoo and the fat tableland of the
Orange river there was a wealthy state

center of opulence and the chief market
for produce. was in a position to exert
economic pressure upon colonies whose

AS in Canada, so in South Africa, the
whole weight of the imperial officials was
thrown into the scale of union and when
the history of the movement comes to be
written no small measure of credit will
belong to a band of enthusiastic young
Engiishmen who set themselves to think
out the problems connected with the
political union of the country and to
influence and shape public opinion on the
question.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, June s, 1910.
This week, for the first time, you could
buy a twopenny green ticket in poets
corner in Westminster Abbey admitting
YOU to a new show place-the Norman
undercroft, which takes us back in his
tory to the year 1850. 1t is reached
through an old brown door in the clois-
ters next to the chapter house-a door
one has passed scores of times wonder
ing vaguely what was inside.
A clean gray .roomy place, all stout pill
lars and vaulting, like a crypt above
ground, lit by new electric lights, is
found behind the door. Overhead is West
minister School, once the monks dormi-
tory. and the undercroft. until recently
used as an abbey lumber room. used to
serve also as a short cut for the boys
from the cloister. 1t was well worth
clearing away the rubbish, if only to
show the beautiful proportions of the
vaulted bays.
This is one of the new bits left Of the
church built by Edward the COnfessor,
and for that reason deserves reverent
preservation. Bits Of delicate eleventh
century carving remain in the capitals,
and one of the bays has the original tile
and mortar vaulting. One of the pillars
has a queer hole in it. which may have
held an image or little altar.
They have brought here scraps of curl
ous stone from all parts Of the abbey
and made a small museum. At one end
they have pieced together fragments of
the arcading of the Norman cloisters
found when they dug the floor OF the I'M
dercroft. One of the bosses. with its
strange carving of the judgment Of Solo,
mon. is a great find. Here. too. is the
banished Jacobean pulpit of the abbey,
fast going to pieces.
