theory and have little foundation in
fact.
Il desire to deny emphatically that
the textile industry of MaSsachu-
sets. is on the Wanc. as we have
been informed through the columns
of the press many times recently.
On the contrary there is a steady
growth. 1t is true that the textile in
duStry is growing in the South. That
is only natural growth when you
consider that the consumption of
cloth is also increasing. / wish to
say this further: Most of the cloth
woven in the South is of n coarser
grade than that produced in the
North. and the cloth that is finished
for the market. investigation will
disclose to anyone interested, after
being woven. is Immediately shipped
to blcachcrics of the North and this
cannot he denied.
an conclusion let me say of the
wooden industry of the State of Maine
operating siXty-fve mills: Twenty
six mills on forty eight hours a
week pay $3.50; five mills operating
fifty hours a week pay $24.72: thirty
Ffvc mills operating fifty four hours
pay S25.42. Thus in a glance you will
see that the advantage is in favor
of the work week of forty four hours.
Sixteen mills operating fifty four
hours week and paying an average
of $21.G6 seem to me to be final and
conclusive proof in favor of the
short work week"
Mr.. Sullivan said that the Amos
keag Mills in Manchester, n. H., OPP
Grating forty eight hours q week for
three years. have paid larger divi-
| dends than in any other like period in
its history. Answering the charges
that the agriculture of the State
would be Handicapped under a short
er work week. he mentioned several
agricultural states which had passed
forty eight hour laws, and in which
he said, the farming industry had
suffered no setback. He quoted the
President of the Farm Bureau of
Massachusetts in regard to the en-
actmCnt of the forty eight hour law
there and its relation to agriculture.
GAS far as can see, there has been
no effect"

ton in this State has been speaking

Speaking before 4 good sized aud
fence Monday evening at City Hall,
John II. Powers of PaWtUCket. K. J.,
told many interesting things with re
gard to the 4S-hour law, which is
now proposed for Maine. Mr.. Powers
who was born on Il farm in New York
and later entered q cotton mill to
work. has worked his way up until
now he is general manager of a large
manufacturing plant.
He has a very extensive knowledge
of the work of the cotton industry
and told the interested audience of
the work of the southern cotton
mills where the greater amount of
work is on cotton fabric which is
used in automobile tires.
VERY exhaustive investigations
prove" said Mr.. Powers, that mills
and industry in general pay better
wages working the shorter work
week. Investigation also has proved
that better conditions so hand in
hand with the shorter work week.
1t is to he regretted that operators
in general seem not TO consider the
human element when protesting
against the reduction of employment
hours. The statements circulated at
the present time that the industries
of Maine are menaced are largely

MAKING TOMATOES LAST SIX
WEEkS LONGER

There are many sections in the
state where the tomato plant is found
in the family garden. In some of
these sections, great difficulty is ex-
perienced in getting tomatoes to rip
en- before the frosts or rains spoil
much of the fruit.
Two methods have been used by the
home gardener to help lengthen the
tomato eating period. AS soon as 1t
is found that the rains or frost are in
juring the fruit, they are picked and
placed in boxes, placing only one lay
er in the box. BY keeping them in
window in the house or an outbuild-
ing, it is possible to ripen a number
of the tomatoes.
Another method which is even bet

gentlemanly professions all around, I
know of no men who are so eager to
get money, and who have so few
scruples about how they get it, as the
parsons. Where is there a man in
