The following item clipped
from the Greensboro Daily News
Of the recent visit to Greensboro
of the Hon. Andrew j. Peters,
of Massachusetts, shows a very
interesting sidelight on this sub

to be a far better field for the be
nevolent CD efforts of MeSsrs
Mex elWay and Swift than North
Carolina.
Mr.. Peters was taken for a
tour of inspection of the mill vii
lagos Just ON the outskirts OF
Greensboro; and it was conditions
as he found them there that most
thoroughly impressed HIM, He
is very familiar with mill condl-
tons in the North; coming as he
does, from a State that ranks
among the leaders of the United
States, and his comparison of the
Greensboro villages, with their
big open spaces, lawns and pleas
ure parks, to the crowded condl-
tons of the North, where the
operatives are forced in most
cases to reside in flats, was very
gratifying to local people.
Mr.. Peters was also thorough
" impressed with the organiza
ton of the local cotton manufac
turers, declaring that it is among
the most wonderful he has ever
known. He was told in detail of
the attention given to the health,
education and comfort of the OPP
eratives, and during the recltals
he voiced many expressions of
wonder His visit to the villages
and what he saw there constltut
ed one of the big features Of the
day for him, he said, He felt
that this alone repaid him for the
distance he had travelled for this
brief visit to North Carolina. .
