NEW BEDFORD. Mass. June 3.-A
fight for the adoption of the 4S-hour
week in the textile industry in states
where that rule has not been adopted is
expected to be one of the main problems
before the sixth annual convention OF
the American federation of textile oper-
atiyes which opens here Dune 30. The
question to be passed upon by the dele
gates is whether to renew with increased
vlgor the agitation for the 4S-hour limit
on the working week.
The growing movement for employ
ment insurance also will be brought to
the attention of the convention and some
expression of opinion is looked for on
the law recently passed by the Massa-
chusetts legislature permitting suits
against labor unions and other volun-
tary associations

Patient Must Cooperate.

Did you ever try to life yourself
by your boot-straps?
A whole lot the same result is OBJ
tanned in the meetings and programs
to discuss unemployment" -
Behind the question of unemploy-
ment are certain fundamental problems
which must be settled in order that
conditions may result which prevent
unemployment, or rather remove the
cause of unemployment. Political
remedies merely stave off the of reck-
oning, unless those remedies are aim
ed to help create conditions which will
bring about ultimate employment thru
natural channels, rather than by the
artificial stimulants of bond issues and
the like to create temporary employ
ment for more or less unnecessary un-
dertakings, which leave an ultimately

larger burden on the country and the
taxpayers.
Commenting on the situation, the
Wall Street Journal says: There is
only relatively slow cure for unem-
ployment. This is increased produc-
ton, out of the surplus of which, and
out of that alone, new employment an
be found.
"All the money in the savings banks
will not provide for the unemployed.
If it were withdrawn and given TO
them today, its withdrawal would
cause more unemployment in other di-
rections. There is no sudden cure.
There is no cure whatever which does
not involve cooperation by the patient.
He must change his habits. He must
quit lying to himself about his stand
ard of living. He must quit lying to
his employer about mis- capabilities. He
must quit lying about the work he
turns out. Our punlir departments
must quit encouraging him to lie. The
Department of Labor must revive its

u. s. Production.

According to Census reports the pro-
duction of the United States for the
year 1920 reached the staggering total
of s63,OOO, 100000. An average of
9,103 200 wage earners were employed
last year in the 289,768 manufactur-
ing establishments of the country,
whose capitalization totaled S44 ,67S,-
911 1000. 1t was in 1890 that Mckinley
wrote his protective tariff law. At
that time our population was 63,00O,-
900. Today it is about 110,000,000.
The policy carried out by Mckinley
then is the policy to which the Repub
lican party cleaves now and under it
the production of the United States
has grown until it totals 81 900 per
capita for every man, woman, and
child in the United States during the
days the Mckinley bill was being
framed.
There are free traders who still talk
of surrendering this vast market to
the exploitation of foreign producers.
Our domestic exports in 1920 totaled
S8,000,000, 900, leaving total of $780,
000,O0O,000 worth to be disposed of
in the home market. The aftermath
of war had so handicapped European
competition as to act proxy for
protective tariff, and yet we imported
in excess of s5,OOO,OOO,OOO worth of
goods that year. Under a continued
policy of free trade and the restora-
ton of normal conditions in Europe,
this enormous market would be prey
to European and Asiatic competition,
and our producers could not find a
domestic market for their goods, let
alone foreign market. Who wants
to stand for that sort of thing?

Throwing Wealth Into vesuvius

If all the men, women and children
in the United States could hurry by
the seething crater of Mount Vesuvius
at the rate of three persons a second,
and if each cast into its all-destroying
depths a five-dollar gold piece, and
continued to do so day and night for
a year, the money thus destroyed
would nearly equal our 1920 fire waste
of over $5OO,OOO,OOO If, in addition,
about every half-hour, one of this
rushing throng-usually a woman or
child-should fall into that sea of
molten lava, the 1900 lives lost an
nually in this manner would approxi-
mate Americas estimated fatalities
by fire each year. Does it not seem
incredible that any nation should al
low such devastation to continue un-
checked?
Every effort must be made, there
fore, to acquaint the public with the
magnitude of the fire destruction and
the necessity for guarding against the
common fire hazards. While careless
ness is considered to be the chief cause
of our huge fire waste, ignorance is
also large factor and consequently

An Unwise "Order"

Ten thousand negro employees in
Southern railway shop centers have
been ordered to affiliate with the six

TORS on the railroads.

WASHINGTON NOTES
Paternalism Abandoned.

Washington, Oct. 17.-"The Repub-
lean national administration has won
the confidence of the people by seek
ing to restore normal conditions thru
return to the only policies upon which
permanent prosperity can be based-
Individual enterprise, energy and
thrift" declares the Republican Pub
licity Association, through its Presi-
dent, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
There has been commendable aban-
donment of the recently prevalent
theory that the only way, or the best
way, to get things done was to have
the government do them. There has
been abandonment of tie idea that the
government can by fiat or magic pro-
duce prosperity and provide lucrative
employment for the people.
There are still some who believe
that the best way to run large busi-
ness enterprise is to take the manage
ment out of the hands of men who
built it up and made it succes3.
There are still some who believe that
if a man has made success of hand
ling large sums of money in large en-
terprises, thus giving employment to
large numbers of men, the best way
to keep things going is to tax the
successful man SO heavily that he will
either have no surplus with which to
expand his undertakings or will be so
thoroughly discouraged that he will
retire from business and invest his
savings in non-taxable securities, leav-
ing the management of business to
men who have not demonstrated abil-
ity to conduct affairs effectively. There
are still some who believe in more
government interference with bushes,
and less business practice in govern
ment
"But the number of those who sup
port such policies has become relative
ly small. The country as a whole re
joices to see at Washington an ad
ministration that sets an example ii
efficiency and economy. The grea
majority of the people are gratifiec
to observe the establishment of pol
icies which encourage enterprise ant
thrift and discourage Stacking anc
waste. They are particularly pleaset
that there is no longer an adherence
to the theory that every emergenc,
should be met by an appropriation
from the Federal treasury and ever,
temporary i'll should be remedied By
the enactment of a law establishing
some new bureau to supervise the act
ivities of the people"
