Holyoke mills as in New York sweat

ton. If one girl should demand a ff-
ty-two hour working week the en-
ploycr would tell her she was crazy
and could look for job somewhere
else But if all girls demanded a If
ty-two hour week in a shop. and If all
the other wage earners in the city or
even part stood back of these girls,
the company would have to grant
their demands. The women wage
earnerS must learn the value of bar
gaining collectively. of the strength of
working together and Of the power Of
the working people

to organize because he knows their

In order to prevent organization
among these is welfare work. He is
willing to pay girls doctors bill. but
he has ruined her health by hard
work: he will furnish couch for them
to faint on when overcome by long
hours; he will give money to hospitals
to take care Of the injured: but he will
not give fair wages and short hours"

 Undoubtedly none of the other or phan boys who were taken west with the now aff1uent and influential O'Neil has done as well as he But perhaps they were not imbued with his phfloS- ophy and did not follow the precepts to which he says he owes his success. He presents these precepts as follows.
 It doesn't make any difference whether a boy is a ragged newsboy or a high school graduate with money. he will succeed if he is honest and wants to. There is nothing so scarce in the world as boy of the right sort. He must be right-truthful. honest, moral, progressive. thrifty and not afraid of hard work. He has got to take hard blows in business life with a smile. That spirit of taking q good hard drubbing now and then and not whining develops manhood.
