OUR PROTECTED COTTON MILL
OPERATIVES.

Southern cotton mills are principal
" engaged in the production Of low
grade fabrics. BY the use of the au-
tomato loom these cloths are manu-
featured in the South as cheaply as
abroad. The English mill owners
have ceased to compete for this class
of trade and are devoting their ener-
gies to novelties or to more finished
goods. AS a consequence. the fear Of
competition from abroad is not strong
in the Southern textile centres and
there is comparatively little support
Of a protective policy. In New Eng
land, where cloths of higher grades
are manufactured. the situation is
entirely different The cry is con-
stantly going forth from that sec
ton that a high tariff Is needed to
save the cotton industry from ruin
and disaster and to protect the op-
eratives aga INST the products of the
so-calIed pauper labor employed in
the textile centres of Great Britain
and Europe.
Recent disclosures growing out OF
the labor troubles in Lawrence, New
Bedford and other textile centres
have caused widespread doubt as to
the need for the high customs duties
on cotton fabrics which the New Eng
land manufacturers have been so in
sistently pressing upon Congress for
the past fifty years. 1t is now known.
as the result OF official and unbiased
investigation, that while We have
had protection against foreign com
petition in the sale OF cotton yarns
and cloth, the so-calIed cheap labor
of Europe has been permitted to en-
pete with American operatives for the
employment offered by the New Eng
land mills. AS a result Of these con-
ditioas. Southern and Eastern Euro
pean immigrants OF low standards OF
living. and without any permanent In
terest IN the country or II the cot
tor goods industry, have displaced the
native Americans and the English
Irish and Scotch worknen In the cot
toa mills Of the North Atlantic
states. Only one operative out o;

TN AID OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY
Norwich Congregation Contributes For Christian Education of the College Quartee and Speaker at Broad way Church-Professor Dill Sees Encouraging Progress in Educational Work

is the work of Atlanta throughout tine south to further the work of bringing the negro race to a higher plane of development.
 Two facts in regard to our negro population brought out by the last census Professor Hill regarded as es- pecially encouraging, and as speaking of better times for the negro in the future. The first point was the steady growth of the race, in contradiction of the prophecy that it was to die out, until it now numbers between ten and one-half to eleven millions of people. The second point was in the decrease of illiteracy The proportion in 1870 of the people of the race who could neither read nor write was 80 per cent. In succeeding censusus the percentage continued to decrease and from inves- tigations conducted by him in the so- ciological work he estimated that the percentage would be reduced to 33 1 3 per cent in the last census. Just few days before leaving Atlanta for this northern trip he received the figures from Washington, and the percentage oI illiterates had fallen to sol.
 There was a generous response in contributions by the congregation.

To present the crying need of the south for the ideals and uplift of Christian education, Prof. A. G. Dill of the deparament of sociology of Atlanta university and a quartette of singers from that 5outhen center of learning were at the Broadway Congregational church on Sunday evening. The con- gregation was augmented by members of the Central Baptist and of other city churches. Rev. H. J. Wyckoff of the Second church offered the opening prayer, and Rev. Edward s. Worcester introduced the singers and the speak CT, touching upon the peculiarly inti- mate relationship that exists between the church in Norwich and Atlanta university.
 The quartette made splendid inn pression by their harmonious rendering of four selections, including Steal Away to Jesus and When the Stars Begin to Fall. between which Profes- sor Dill traced the history of the negro race in America since the first slave was introduced in 1919 up to the pres ent time and dwelt on the importance of sending out leaders, with Christian education, ideals and inspiration.
