the work, with all its oppression and
It's hack of decent. pay. and one day
he told the boss he had got "a good
Job" II was ma New bedford bank.
For a while Wood stayed with the
banking people, learning all the witch
| cry Of checks and drafts and balances.
And then one day he went back TO
the wooden business.
But not as loom boy. This time
! II was as a salesman.
For several years. all over the
country, Wood sold woolens.
lie sold more wooden goods To the
square mile than any one had ever
sold before.
And the upshot was he was brought
TO the home Office TO manage ali the
statesmen.
About this time his factory, through
mismanagement, was IN a bad way.
Frederick Aver, who gathered his dol
lars out OF the bottom OF a sarsaparil-
la bottle. had put a million In this
mill. His million was fast dropping
out of sight.
William Wood. who by this time
was engaged--or almost-to Ayers
daughter, said:
Give me a million more. and I'll
save the other million and make a
lot besides"
And he did!
Out OF that bankrupt wooden con-
est trusts In the world. II Is rated
as being worth $75.000.000, and Wood
owns a large part OF II, and controls
It altogether.
He married Miss Aver. has young
son and daughter. keeps so many au-
tomobiles and private secretaries that
he doesn't know just how many, and
has three country homes and a town
house In the exclusive Back Bay dis
trict of Boston.
And how has Wood built agranite-
hard trust on the foundation OF wob-
bly, wooden concern? BY paying the
maximum for his mechanical equip
ment and the minimum for his human
equipment. In other words, by de-
priving all the other little William
Woods of their heritage.
Walk through the wool trust town
of Lawrence. Little boy-and- girl-faces
are pinched: man-and-woman faces
are pinched; the bodies OF all are
cramped and stopped. Every one In
Lawrence looks as IL he had never
drawn a full breath and never had
time to look up at the sky.
And perhaps they haven't. For ali
day long they stoop over whirring
looms. And pay days never bring
enough, no matter how great the toll
has been.
Has William Wood really forgotten
those days at New Bedford? Could he
remember and still not play fair with
those who work for him now just as
he used to work for his boss years
ago?
NEW YORK, Sept 6.-As pro-
test against the Imprisonment at
Lawrence. Mass. OF Joseph J. Ettor
and Arthur N. Giovannetti, since last
Jan. 2S, William ID. Haywood, leader
OF the Industrial Workers Of the
World, announced today that on Sept.
80, all the I. w. w. men and women
In all trades will strike and will is
sue a cab to all workingmen in
America to strike. He said the call
will be printed at once In every pos
sible language and that IL will be
directed to all classes of workers in
all parts of the country. without
SPECIFIC regard TO union or organiza-
ton Affiliations.
