more significant, for more arresting, was
the discovery that much of this effort
was unnecessary. This too was Simply
proven. The investigators forced down
the treadles of certain machines until the

ceived the finish" or gloss necessary to

treadle showed that unknown to the

to 30 pounds was put forth at each tread,
amounting" says the report, ito wasted
exertion of 10000 to 2SS,0O0 pounds In

cold figures of the wasted muscular eff

About a quarter OF the 554 women indi-
vidually interviewed in the Milwaukee
laundries were employed at the foot
treadle machines. Among the 10000 women
laundry workers enumerated in the CEN
sus, thousands are similarly employed
throughout the country For years, since
the first hot cylinder presses and ironeis
replaced the familiar flatiron, these thou
sands of girls and women have thus day
by day been wasting their most precious
industrial asset, their working capacities
In a sport or match, we deplore the spec

He went to Dublin no more than FIVE
years ago, and found exemplified there
the worst features of the social scramble
2l,0o0 families living in one-room tene-
ments, the lowest wage rates and in con-
sequence the highest death rate in the
kingdom; a depth of squalor, poverty and
misery, revolting to any man with a
clean mind and sensitive to the dignity of
the human creature. Dublin was no diff
ferent, observe, from what can be found
in any Industrial city, except that the
laws of free competition had there done
their worst Larkin took his coat off
He rounded up some hearty souls in a
union, and started sympathetic striking.
There is nothing new in that. The SYM
pathetic strike is only the old boycott,
frozen face and the cold shoulder"
1t was wicked. of course. because it hurt
the money interest. But it raised wages.
1t raised them for laborers 81 a week in
five years Murphy described this as not
legitimate trade unionism, but ''syndi-
calism;' though having discussed the
matter with Murphy l am able to declare
that he, like most people, knows more
about syndicalism than about totemism
Any trade unionism would be illegitimate
to the Murphys which effected its first
purpose. Larkin is not an intellectual
and visionary anarchist, but a practical
man with tremendous energy, who knows
that the only thing the matter with the
poor is poverty. He merely sees the
next best thing to do and does it straight
away. Otherwise he could not have cap
tured the simple minds of uneducated
Dublin laborers. His wickedness rests
solely in the awful truth that he does
not spar exhibition rounds with his op-
ponents for the benefit of the gallery and
his salary as a trade union leader. but
hits his opponents so confoundedly hard
that they feel it badly. He conceives that
to be his job. 1t was just that unreason-
