Vote Oct. 18th
Consider Well How
4S-HOur Referendum

Attention is called to an advertise
ment in another column, in refer
ence to a State-W Wide Referendum on
october 18th, on proposed 4S-hour
law for Maine.
1t is admitted by friends of this
measure that while it applies in it's
reading only to women and minors,
it will in effect limit the running of
all of our large industries in Maine
TO eight hours in any one day and
4S hours in any one week. All cot
ton mills, shoe factories, laundries,
hotels. shirt shops, and other indus
tries employing women would be
forced to go to this As hour week.
Those who favor the measure do
soon the excellent ground that it is
intended to assist in lettering the
health and morals of women and
minors
Those who oppose the measure
say that they do not oppose the
principle of the measure; that they
would favor and assist a federal As
hour law. but they believe Maine
should not thus be singled out; and
that it will bring about competition
and discrimination against Maine
industries which would be dangerous.
1t would also raise the price of ocm-
modities in Maine without increasing
the price of farm products. Either
that, or else the industries will have
to go elsewhere.
Only two industrial states have a
4S hour law. One of these is Cali
fornia, where there are few indus
tries that compete with us. This
need hardly considered. The other
is Massachusetts. The effect on
Massachusetts has been to damage
its industries and favor the growth
in cotton manufacture in the South.
Massachusetts cotton mills have been
sending machinery south, and her
capital has been building new mills
in the South, where legal hours of
labor are sixty hours a week or
more-several states having no res
trictions-no Southern state having
less than So hour week. and many
sixty hour week.
New Hampshire, Rhode Island and
Vermont have voted down a proposed
4S hour week. The competition of
these states would also be serious.
with mills running 81 hours and
Maine mills running but As hours.
Maine industries ask "Why make us
the goat?" Maine industries are
having hard enough work now to
fight their battles for existence. We
have not built a new cotton-mill in
Maine-we have enlarged some-for
twenty years This law will reduce
production IL per cent on the same
overhead and put Maine at 25 per
cent disadvantage with Georgia,
Alabama, North Carolina and South
Carolina which have grown in cotton
textile production until they now
surpass New England. We must
look after ourselves-sav the Maine
industries. Wait until these South
ern States come to 81 hours before
We go to 4S hours.
The opponents of this measure say
that if it damages the industries it
damages agriculture; lessening the
market: reducing the population.
Over 100000 people are employed in
industry in Mane-this represents
about one seventh of the entire popu-
lation of Maine. One family in three
is dependent on industry for its e1-
istence. in Maine.
This is merely to indicate the SER
ious nature of this vote.

Sham Battle of
Modern Warfare at
G. A. r. Encampment

Milwaukee, Sept. 1-By A. P)-
, In sharp contrast to the now obsolete
methods of warfare which remain so
wildly in the minds of the veterans
, of the Grand Army of the Republic,
a huge and spectacular sham battle
in which all of the modern imple-
ments of both land and naval war
fare will be employed, is to be pre-
sented as one of the entertainment
features at the 5Ith Annual Encamp-
ment of the organization here Sep
TENDER 2-7.
This Will be the second time that
Milwaukee has been so honored, for
many veterans still recall the good
times they had in this city "a years
ago, Nearly 100000 of the veterans
visited Des Moines during the 1922
enCampment
A minimum of $4,000 persons will
attend the encampment, according to
James II. Williamson, executive sec
rotary in charge of arrangements
The local committee. however, had
made preparations to house $4,000
persons during the week, every alaiv-
able accommodation in the city be-
ing utilized. The colored population
of the city has arranged through the
!; Urban League to entertain the col
Ored veterans.
Inc sham battle VIII be staged in
the natural amphitheatre on the Lake
Michigan front. Participating in it
will be a contingent from the Great
Lakes naval training station, with
their hydroplanes, bombing planes.
sub chasers and other modern naval
paraphernalia several detachmcnts
from the United States army. and a
large force of Wisconsin Guards
men.
The battle has been planned to
take place against Il background of
picturesque fireworks, and military
and naval officers who helped in the
preparations said that probably no
more beautiful military spectacle
ever will have been presented.
Many of the old soldiers are lock-
ing forward to the annual parade and
review to be held Wednesday morn
ing. Sept. 3. 1t has been estimated
that $4,000 veterans will be in re-
view.
