MUSCATINE, Ia, Dec. ia
Bright, CHEEKY pearl buttons;
Pretty pearl buttons that your
|children play with after the but
tons have laid off from working
up and down the front of your
shirt, sir, and on your shirt waist,
madam. Yes, this is story about
pearl buttons.
Sixty-five per cent OF all the
pearl buttons used in America are
made in Muscatine. Eight fac
tories, employing 1000 men, wo-
men and ehiidren-q1ite an en-
elusive little industry for this nice
little corn belt town of 1900
population and something for you
to remember the city by.
But did you know also that
most of the Muscatine pearl but
tons on your shirt, sir, or on your
shirtwaist, madam, were made by
native born American men and
women who got absolutely moth
ing for the labor of making them?
Work for nothing? Funny, isn't
it? And foolish?
These foolish men and women
of Muscatine thought they HAD to
do it, until a few months ago, in
order to keep their jobs and make
a living. Maybe they WILL have
to, yet. But in the meantime Mus
catine has a strike that is attract
ing national attention.
To begin with, the manufactur-
ers pay cent to a cent and half
a pound for the mussel shells. A
pound will make many buttons.
The shells soak a week or two
while the bodies of the mussel in
side rots away. Then machines
cut many little round button
blanks from each shell The cut
tiers who operate these machines
have their hands in and out of
this fetid, vile-smelling water all
day.
They get 81 to $40 a week
also they get shell poisoning
a scurvey-like disease resulting
from soaking their hands continu-
ally in the poisoned water.
Some cutters made as much as
SO a day, the employers say. /
found they were the few favorites
of the weighers. And this weigh
ing is the big injustice, the cutters
say. Here's how.
Blanks cut from the thin edges
of a shell make poor buttons. So
years ago it was estimated that IA
dozen would yield about a gross
II dozen-good buttons. Cutters
are paid by the dozen. Thus arose
a custom of calling IA dozen a
gross.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1911-12-14

BUTTON
VIOLENCE?

Then the manufacturers adopt
led another trade custom. When a
teutter turns in Ia dozen blanks
they called 1t a dozen. Then they
eliminated the bad" blanks all
lover again. deducting from the
gross credited to the cutter. So
in reality. he got a net credit of,
[say, 8 or 10 dozens for the IA
tdozen he turned in.
That is, he WOULD but for yet
another trade custom" It's i'm
possible to count all the buttons,
or course, so the logical method is
to count few handfuls of a given
Loo, weigh them and estimate the
rest by weight. Fine! That s
what they did. The welgher
counted gross, and dumped
them In one side of balance
scales. Then he filled up the 9TH
er pan--not so it balanced, but so
1t dropped clear down to the bed
Iof the scales.
OF course, the manufacturer
throws away these bad" blanks
that have been eliminated thrice
over from the cutters pay check?
or courst-NOT! They are
worked up like all the rest card
ed and sold. They are the kind
you and the shirt makers buy for
about cents a dozen.
Only the woman or child under
IA working at home, who sewed
them on card for l 1-2 cents a
gross got paid for handling bad"
buttons.
Oh, yes; the manufacturer gets
paid.
Not only have they lost this
25 per cent of their labor by the
bad button system and dishonest
weighing, says Lawyer Charles p.
Hanley, "but they must wait a
week for their. wages or lose 8
per cent for cash."
The button manufacturers are
united in a close association which
locked out the workers last spring
when the latter attempted to form
union. Then came mediation,
return to work, broken promises,
and the present strike.
There has been violence in this
strike. I'll tell about that tomor-
row.
