WASHINGTON LETTER
BY ]. E. Jones.
INDUSTRIAL SLAVERY

According to facts gathered by the
Federated American Engineering
SOCIETIES there are upwards of forty
continuous industries operating more
or less completely on shift system,
where 100000 wage-earners comprise
two shifts that wark the clock
round 1t will be recalled that
President Harding called the of
ficials of the steel industry to Wash
ington a few months ago, and laid
before them the humanitarian de-
mand for abolishing the long work.
day. These men agreed that it
would be a ''fine idea" to get the
people in their industry onto an
eight-hour day. But if they have
carried the reform further than the
days public print nobody has heard
of it. The engineering society has
ascertained that including the fami-
lies of the wage earners between a
million and half and two million
people in this country are dependent
upon earnings from shift employ
ment where twelve hours is a days
work.
Engineers are apt to be practical
men, and in the report referred to
above they skip the humanitarian
side of the question, leaving that
to the editorial "we,' and the social
reformers, and to the ministers. "The
effect of the >eight-hour shift opera
ton, on the quantity and quality of
production, absentee-ism and indus
trail accidents, has been satisfactory
where good management and CO.
operation of labor have been secur-
ed"

PROGRESS OF THE FILIPINOS
Commissioner Jaime c. de Veyra
of the Philippines, has issued a
vigorous denial of the report pur-
porting to come from Manila to the
effect that the newspapers of his
country are advocating the replace
ment of the English language with
Spanish in the public schools. Mr..
de Veyra is unfortunate in that part
of his official duties in the National
Capital which makes it essential for
him to always keep his 'lie swatter"
at hand. Eight or ten years ago
the United States was about ready
to admit that the progress of the
Filipinos entitled them to their de-
ferred independence. But the settle
ment of foreigners in great numbers
in the Islands has been accomplished
by steady protest from them
against independence. Most of
these new residents in the Philip
pines are Americans, and quite ma
turally these people, for self-inter-
est, prefer the continuance of the
rule of their own United States gov
eminent. Even Commissioner de
y Veyra has sympathetic understand
ing of this harmful American opin-
ion; but he insists that if the new
commers are so fond of government
by their country-men that they
should accord respect to the rights
of the Filipinos who claim that they
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1922-09-28

should at least have the same free
dom in their native land.
There is a colony of several hum
dred Philippines in Washington, and a
great many Of them are attending
the universities and olner schools
of learning. In intelligence they
average with Americans. Any one
of these representative Filipions are
now ready TOR self-government. In
support of their claim they have
presented statistics of the progress
of education that are decidedly in
teresting. These figures have Off
cial endorsement, and from them 1T
appears that during the seven years
OF Filipino autonomy between 1913
and 1870, that the number of public
school buildings increased from GA
TO 1,O46. During the same period
the number of public schools increas-
ed from 1884 to 5,944. From this
it would appear that the period of
onsbructing buildings for exclusive
school purposes has been inaugural
ed by the Filipinos themselves. The
educational statistics, further show
1nat the number of pupils in the
different island schools jumped from
44O, O5O at the beginning of the period
of autonomy until there are now
nearly million students. Con-
sidering the population of the Phil
ppines it is evident that the percent
age of school attendance is about
equivalent to the United States. And
It must not be forgotten that this
condition was not created during the
centuries Of rule of the Spaniards
or within the more than twenty years
of administration of the island gov
eminent almost entirely at the hands
of American officials; but that it was
achieved, and was brought about
during the years when the Filipinos
were told to "go ahead and rule your
selves, subject to American veto.
The results are staggering, and
plainly demonstrated that these
people have been going forward by
leaps and bounds, instead of stand
ing still or slipping backwards as
the American commercial propagar
dists out in the Philippines are re.
porting back.
