gd,~ard Farnham Greene, treasurer nE ALH pnrific mills of New Enql and,

gd~ard Farnham Greene, treasurer of the Pacific mills of New Eng ana, declares tGat the hobble skirt and the fads nf some women was the direct cause of the Lawrence strike and the other textile troubles which tied up the mills. impoverishing thousands Of operatives and dealing for time to social anarchy. MT. Greene Is son or the late stephen Greene, who resided in Westerly. and who at the age of lb Ras overseer of the carding room at the White Rock mill. Subsequently he became a member of the mill architect flynn of Lockwood. Greene & company, succeeding to the whole business and employed over one hundred assistants in his Boston office Another point of -ncai interest is that Alvin. grandfather of Edwin Farnham Greene, was also resident of Westerly and was for years superintendent of the White Rock mill.
 Here is the statement of Treasurer Greene, who received his early educa- ,l4r fin Westerly. For two years prior 10 January. 1912, there was great deal of curtailment and poor business, not only in Lawrence, but elsewhere. This was not due merely to the tariff agitation. but to the hobble skirt and the dress fads of some women, The textile businass was e1rtafled to the orient of nearly 40 per cent, and much Of this cuYtailmsnt was caused by the isu style of wearing tight fitting kfrtn.
 IT women who have allowed the
 lshlon in the reduction of the size and number of skirts worn realized how this pirsched the mill owner, the working man and the working woman, they would discard the hobble and re- turn to the more generous fashion of other years.
 fit is not a question merely of nor ais. decency or good taste in dress. The hobbLe skirt has it's economic bearing upon fife. but is a detriment both to textile prosperity. the wage earning re- suits of ths workers and the health and haibita of the women who wear it."

It ought to make some work

The kings, cars, generals and
other rulers of men have known
all along that there were many
more common soldiers with guns
than officers with swords, and
millions of people to every king
or car.
And these rulers of men, these
masters, knew that if the people
ever organized and worked to-
gether for their own interests, the
Kings, czarS, ETC., would be out of
a job.
So, from the time trades unions
were first organized, the masters
have waged bitter and relentless
war on unionism, or organized
labor.
They know that. if all labor
were organized, labor would rule
the world and that there would
be a more even distribution of

Just exactly what part Roosevelt

political conditions among the repub-

that makes the Roosevelt supporters

with seriously in the next republican
convention is the presidential prefer

states, Oregon, Nebraska, North Da-

Any notion thai Roosevelt sentiment
has died out among republican voters
is erroneous Politicians here realize
this and when the presidential pri-
maries are held in those states the
man who is likely to loom up strong
est of all is not Taft, but Roosevelt.
If this proves to be the case, the
convention may find it extremely diff

states in the Union have not adopted

(By Winfield jones'
special to The Chieftain:

Washington, D .C., March 4-The
shadow Of Theodore Roosevelt now
hangs like black cloud over the pres
ent occupant of the White House. It
portends the probable defeat of Taft
in the Chicago convention.
Politicians have never discounted
the strong personal following that
Roosevelt developed in the country at
his election as president Consequent
ly in the Taft camp there is feeling
of apprehension over the plans of
Roosevelt and the Roosevelt follow
ing. Mr. Taft is out for the presi-
dency and wants again to come to the
White House. He realizes that Roose-
velt's announced candidacy for the
presidency probably will end in de-
feat for the republicans and for him
self, for as matters now stand it is a
slim chance that the republicans have
of winning in the presidential election
next November anyway. The presi-
dent and his following now believe
Roosevelt's candidacy is likely to split
