June %, 1911, on the promise of

There are eleven cotton mills in

thirds of them males. These opera
tives are paid good wages, are kindly
treated and are happy and contented.
This is in striking contrast with condi-
lions in the mills in sanity New Eng

paying their employees living wages
and furnishing them comfortable
houses to live in, have all made money,
and good money, too. The Men and
