Turning the Tables,

Turning the tables In the sense OF
bringing countercharge against an
accuser has classic origin. In the
days Of Augustus Imperator a regular
craze seized the men of Rome to com

TENNESSEE TEXTILE
WORKERS PROSPER
Have Agreement With Large
Factory-A Model For Non
Union Concerns to Follow.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May THE
Brookside Manufacturing company,
employing 1858 members of the Unit
ed Textile Workers union, has signed
an agreement with that organization
which is bound to have a moral effect
on anti-union mill owners in this
vicinity.
The agreement contains these fea-
lures:
Operatives failing to report for duty
at the usual hour shall not be docked
the last days wages. Operatives shall
not be charged for defects caused by
machinery or anything beyond their
control. The company will notify en-
ployes of any changes in or addition
to these rules at least two weeks be-
fore same takes effect. Seniority pro-
visions are agreed to. Wages will be
Increased one-half for all overtime.
All brushes for cleaning purposes shall
be furnished by the company. ANY
operative breaking any parts of a ma
chine or window panes through an
accident shall not be fined for same.
A committee representing the workers
will have the right to take up griev-
mittee shall have the power to COL
lect reinstatement fees at any time
The union committee shall consist
of one in each room. His duty shall
be to investigate all grievances and re-
port findings to the executive commit
tee at noon time. He shall have the
right to investigate such grievances
during working hours.
All operatives shall become men,
bers of the union within thirty days
from the date of employment.
NO machinery shall be stopped
pending settlement of grievances.
The contract runs for one year and
both parties to the agreement request
that "justice be accorded to all oper-
atives in cases arising which are not
provided for in these rules

But as a matter of fact, in our time,
opportunity to read 80 or 40 words
in any language, dialect or Yiddish,
may be found almost any place by
one who has such qualities of mind
and will as fit him to become a. citi-
zen. Whether or not immigrants
seek or avail themselves of an op-
portunity for education is in itself a
test of character, which the oppon-
ents Of the bill profess to desire. The
person who really wants a thing
usually finds way.
Consider briefly what has been the
policy of our nation in regard to a.
hteracy test. From the founding of
the first colonies schools and educa-
ton have been deemed necessary.
Gradually, at the demand of organ
lied labor, public school system was
established. Then compulsory edu-
cation laws were enacted, until now
40 states have adopted legislation of
that character. With many of these
laws have been associated prohibi-
tion of child labor, requiring minors
either to attend school for a definite
number of years or to acquire de-
finite standard of education. Educa-
| tional requirements are distinctly an
American policy. The Burnett bill
simply applies to immigrants stand
ards required of our citizens and
thereby removes immigrants from a.
specially favored class. s;&s
The opponents of the literacy test
imply by many of their arguments
that education has no effect upon
character, that it is not test of
quality or character. Education of
course is not an unfailing test, but as
between an educated man and an un-
educated one, the presumption will
be in favor Of the one whose mind
and sympathies have been broadened
and deepened by education, which
leads to understanding of the mean
ings of things. If this were not true
then we would be wrong in the inn
portance which we attach to educa-
tion. But we are not mistaken
education becomes an inseparable

men of noble characters and elevated
purposes driven from their own less
fortunate lands, it is necessary for all
to have clearly in mind the provisions
OF the present law and the changes
proposed by the bill which the presi-
dent vetoed. These provisions are
published in parallel columns for con-
Ven1ence in comparative study.
A reading of the texts of existing
law and the immigration bill makes it
manifest that the Presidents objec-
tfon is directed against existing law
rather than the proposed measure,
and that if his position is correct his
objection can be satisfied only by the
repeal of the present immigration
law.
However, the existing law specifies
that persons seeking a political asy-
lum shall be freely admitted to the
United States, and that advocates of
anarchism and violence to govern
ments and government officials are
debarred. The proposed legislation
makes existing provisions more liberal
by specifically and clearly defining
the nature of the offenses against or
ganized society and it's government
for (which Immigrants may be exclud-
ed. After carefully reading those
specifications, can there be any rea-
son for holding that political reform
ers whose purpose was constitutional
agitation for what they conceive to be
the natural and inalienable right of
men, will be denied entrance and
refuge in our land? There has been
persistent effort to create the i'm
preston that the Burnett bill would
exclude such political reformers as
Carl Schurz, General Garibaldi, and
Louis Kossuth, but is there anything
in the text to justify that contention :?
Is 1t not rather, a contention that pre-
sumes. upon the confidence of those
who have not read the bill?

President raised-the literacy test.

! it. Here, again, the text of the pro-
posed legislation should be read. 1t
is as follows:
THAT after four months from the
approval Of this act, in addition to
the aliens who are by law now ex-
cluded from admission into the Uni
also be excluded from admission
thereto, to wit:
All aliens over sixteen years Of
age, physically capable of reading,
who cannot read the English Ian
guage or some other language or dia-
lect, including Hebrew and Yiddish:
Provided, That any admissible alien
or any alien heretofore or hereafter
legally admitted, or any citizen Of the
United States, may bring in or send
Tor his father or grandfather, over
1lrty-five years of age, his wife, his
mother, his grandmothe or his un-
married or widowed daughter, if

relative can read or not; and such
relative shall be permitted to enter

whether aliens can read the inspec-

rection of the Secretary of Labor,
each containing not less than 80 or
more than 40 words in ordinary use,
printed in plainly legible type in some
one of the various languages and dia-
lects of immigrants. Each alien may
designate the particular language or
dialect. That the following classes
of persons shall be exempt from the
operation of the illitercay test, to wit:
All aliens who shall prove to the sat-
1sfaction of the proper immigration
officer, or to the Secretary of Labor
that they emigrated from the country
of which they were last permanent
residents solely for the purpose Of
escaping from religious persecution"
This is what is termed radical
change in the policy Of the nation
It is denounced as a provision that
seeks to punish people merely be-
cause of their lack of opportunity.
