Many friends here and elsewhere
deeply regret the death of Mrs. Net
tie Warren Radcliffe, which occurred
early in September at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Bernice Weed, in
Dedham, Mass, where she had every
care that a devoted daughter and low
ing grandchildren could bestow,
Mrs Radcliffe, while not an Invalid,
had for some time been subject to
attacks of neuralgia of the heart for
which she was under treatment, but
as was her helpful nature, she kept
about aiding her daughter and fam
lily in cheerful, hopeful way, un-
til her frequent attacks of illness
confined her to her bed. Her suffer
ing was not prolonged, but patient
and cheerful to the last, she passed
quietly away deeply mourned by the
daughter and grandchildren to whom
she was deyotedly attached. The
body was taken to her early home al
Deer Isle and buried beside the hus-
band of her youth, Mr.. Warren
Mrs. Radcliffe had many friends at
Southwest Harbor and vicinity, who
will remember her with kindly af-
lection because of her readiness TIC
help in every time of need.

on eight hours are from 50 to SIS
higher than in Maine on nine hours.
Now, they are not as smart as the
Massachusetts manufacturer, or they
are misrepresenting their side
Eleven states now have the As
hour week for women and children
in industry. These state are Massa-
chusetts, California, Montana, Ore
gon, Washington, Utah, No Dakota,
| Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico
and Arizona. Massachusetts is a
great, progressive state She likes
this S-hour day. Massachusetts is
great in manufacture, great in edu-
cation and great in public men
Nineteen foreign nations have en-
acted the S-hour law Tor women and
children in industry.
Some of our manufacturers are
telling the people that if the hours
per day are made fewer, their wages
will be cut down. Don't you believe
this, for every intelligent person
knows that as the hours in a days
work have decreased wages have in
creased This is history. Don't for
get that fact, strange, but true
Let me still prove from our Maine
labor commissioner. These statis-
tics show that there are sixty-six
wooden mills in Maine, employing,
June, 1928, 1862 people. Twenty
six mills employing 5,007 people,
working forty-eight hours week,
paid higher wages than the other
mills that were worked fifty-four
III
mills in Maine employ 1862, all on
the 48-hour week.
Who are asking us to retain this
54-hour week? Is it the unfortunate
man whose wife, whose children and
whose mother are obliged to work in
a factory nine hours a day? Will it
not be better to shorten this day one
hour, lei this mother and wife go
home one hour earlier so she can
clean up the dinner dishes. prepare a
sood supper for her husband and
children? Won't it be better?
Won't there be more happi-
ness? Won't there be enough
yards of cloth manufactured? Won't
there be enough felt shoes? Won't
there be enough ice-cream Won't
there be enough of all these things
Il we reduce the day one hour? say
yes. Let us go to the polls and vote
yes.

lions have endorsed the forty-eight
hour work week for women and chill

TIE 48-HOUR LAW.

No. Ellsworth, Me-, Oct. 4, 1928.
To the Editor of The American:
Last winter bill was presented to
the Maine legislature asking to have
the present 54-hour rer week law
changed to fortv-eisht hours a week
for women and children in mills and
factories.
There is in Maine strong organ
ization OF capital that runs the mills,
factories and shops. These men
went to the Legislature and defeated
this 48-hour bill Then the friends
of the 4S-hour law petitioned our
State; our governor has called
special election for October IS.
Those who want the 4S-hour week
will vote yes; those who want the
present 54-hour week will vote no.
The whole question of hours per
day is what is best for humanity.
History tells us that capital has al
ways been for longer hours than
labor has. History tells us that the
world has progressed the best since
slavery was stopped and shorter
hours begun; that the fewer the
hours the faster we progressed. y
Progression with the human race
is slow. Let me prove it. Our first
president, George Washington,
owned slaves and thought it was
right; just the same as people to-day
think it is right to vote to compel
women and children to work in mills
and factories nine hours a day in
stead Of eight hours.
The whole aim of all the churches
is to help humanity. Here is a great
opportunity for the churches in
Maine to help women and children
by going TO the polls on October l )
and voting yes.
1t has been only about siYty years
since a dag work in slpyards was
from sunrise to sunset About
fifty years ago the length of a day
was from sunrise to sunset in the hay
field in the sawmills and in harvest
ing. Later the sawmills ran two
crews, one by day and one by night
This brought about the 12hour day
in other employments. No noon
hour was allowed until we got the
ten hours day, about forty years
ago.
l know what it is to work long
days. When l was a boy l worked
in saw mills (more than one season)
twelve hours day, with just time
out to eat my dinner. Now, on my
farm (and I own and operate one of
the best farms in Hancock county,
the men work nine hours, and l am
prospering. l want to see uni
versal S-hour day.
Some of the managers of industries
of Maine are telling the people that if
their day work is reduced from
nine hours day to eight hours, they
will have to close down their shops
or factories. Statistics prove that

Interesting Convention Held at

Southwest Harbor, Oct. 1 especially
The Hancock county teachers con-

great success. The beautiful weather

pitality of the community, prompted
by the board of trade and school
faculty was greatly appreciated by
the educators and the very full pro-
gram was largely carried out. All
regretted that Princess Borghese of

able to be present, but their places
were filled however by excellent
speakers.

forenoon session closing with fine
vocal solo by Mrs. Winfred JOY.
In the afternoon, before the gen
eral session, the department meet

tees, rural and grade schools were
held.
At p. m, after short business
period, Home Hygiene as Taught in
Mt, Desert Schools" was demonstra-
ted by Miss Charlotte Nelson, n. R.,
health nurse, and the practical il
lustration of bed-making, care of the
sick, etc, proved interesting. Music
added to the enjoyment of the pro-
gram. Miss Hale, Mr.. Libby, agent
for rural schools, and others gave
valuable suggestions regarding meth
DDS of work in rural schools.
At the evening session, after
band concert, violin solos by Alfred
Morang of Ellsworth and vocal solos
by Miss Erva Giles of Ellsworth, an
address was given by a New Hamp-
shire educator, Schoolmaster Butter
field, who gave an amusing illustra-
ton of old-time methods of teaching,
contrasting those with present-day
methods.
Vocal solos by Mrs. Minfred JOY
followed by a RUDE act by Walter j.

lude.
