Wearing a Veil At a Second
Wedding.
By Mrs. Beeckman
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
| am young widow and am about
to be married again. Would you
please tell me if it is proper to wear
a veil? would love to wear one
as it is going to be a church we'd
ding. fAI.
No, it is not proper for bride who
is being married for the second time
to wear the traditional white dress,
the white wedding veil, or orange
blossoms. | am deeply sympathetic
with your desire to wear bride-y
clothes. and l wish l could tell 1t
would be in good form. But, on the
other hand, l should like to save you
from unkind criticism; and you lay
yourself open to this unplcasantncss
if you go contrary to tradition and
accepted form.

To Wear At a Ball
:. BEECKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Kindly tell me what is proper for
gentlemen and ladies TO wear at q
ball?
.. Should ladies wear flowers?
A CONSTANT READER.
A ball is usually a formal affair
and therefore formal evening dress is
worn by ladies and gentlemen.
.. Ladies do not usually wear
flowers as corSagc, since Unis is
inconycnicnt while dancing. But
nowadays it is fashionable TO wear
one or two flowers on the shoulder,
either real or artificial.

Placing the Fork.

DEAR MRS. DEECKMAN:
After dinner is finished when you
place the knife and fork at the side
Of the plate, do not the tines of the
fork rest downward?
MRS. +. NJ. T.
The knife and fork should be placed
together. the fork with the prongs up.
The prongs of the fork should not be
turned down since this position, makes
them very unsteady when the dinner
plate is removed.

A PRAYER

Our Father who seeest the sparrow:
fall,
Who clothest the lily in white,
Who watchest so tenderly over u:
all
Oh, hear this this our prayer to-
night.
If dearer to Thee than the birds of
the skies
Are the children of Thy Life and
Breath,
Then hover with wings of protection
and love
Ger the gates to the Valley of
Death.
If lilies may blossom and dance in
Thy smile,
But "Dearer are we than all of
these"
Then when n of Thy flock doth
but nest
In Thy arms
Oh. list as we fall on our knees.
If it be Thy will that this one we
all love,
Who but fingers between us and
Thee
Should come up from the Valley of
Shadows and live
In Thy love, then, o God, let this
be.

power, coercion and sordid greed is
plainly told.
The banking institutions having
secured control of the raw product
knew well that fifty per cent go per
cent) of their fight was won to Sc
cure control of the machinery of pro-
duction in the textile industry of our
country Mill agents were advised
by the legal fraternity, controlled to
great extent by the banking inter-
ests, to make their position safe with
their board of directors by declaring
not only large quarterly dividends, but
stock dividends.
They were advised further to keep
their machinery running at top notch
speed and to make hay while the sun
shone The agents, mill treasurers,
| followed this advice, with the result
| that when the dark clouds of depres-
sion and slackness in industry appear
ed on the horizon, they then began
to realize that the machine that was
used at top speed during the period
mentioned, was SO worn out and di-
! lapidated that they could not give re-
suits sufficient to meet the demands
made upon them.
This old machinery, or rather abus-
ed machinery, might have succeeded
| in producing sufficient dividends if
the mental poise of the great consum-
ing American public had remained as
it was prior to 1914.

forced on the American wearer had

Those agents and mill treasurers
who needed the voice of the bankers

their factories and mills in no posi-
ton, because of their dilapidated
machinery, to produce the fabric need
ed by the consuming American public
are loudly demanding an increased
tariff, as we'll as cut in the wages
of their employees.
The American worker has produced
and is producing at less labor cost,
per yard, or per pound, the fabric pro-
duced in our mills today than are the
workers in any other competing coun-
try of Europe today. This is broad
statement, but nevertheless, a true
one. We are buying our raw material
as cheap as are the manufacturers of
textiles of any foreign, competitive

A Mismanaged Industry
BY THOMAS f. MCMAHON
international President Unite Textile Workers

The textile industry is one of the
basic industries of our country, and
it seems to me that because of the
great publicity given to our industry
during the past few years it might be
well for me to go back and give our
point of view of progress made or
failures met with during the decade
starting January 1, 1914, and ending
December 81, 1924.
During this short period of ten
years, the great World War was
fought. 1t was during this period of
the World War in the decade mention
ed that the nervous tension of the
people of America, as we'll as those
of the whole civilized world, was at
its highest point. The machinery of
production of necessaries to supply
civilizations wants was running
smoothly for the purpose mentioned
above and continued to do so until
August 1, 1914. 1t was on this date
that kaisers, kings and czars decided
that mankind must bleed, regardless
of quantity to perpetuate their max
i'm that ""the king can do no wrong"
The machines of production, which
were serving so we'll the needs of
peaceful, progressive civilization,
were changed in moment, as it
were, to become producers of death
dealing products; because of this con-
dition of affairs in Europe, the ma
chinery of the United States was
soon called to give forth their prod
uct to the nations at war in Europe
who could pay for them without any
regard to justice or right.
The producing textile machinery of
the United States as we'll as all other
machinery that could be used for pro-
duction purposes, were started off,
and without stop or let up, night and
day, for period of four years, gave
such golden return to those who
owned or controlled this machinery
that many of our textile mill owners
refused to believe that the abnormal
conditions brought about by this
murderous war were at an end.
The men and women, boys and
girls engaged in the textile mills of
our land, gave without stint their
energy and skill, and received in re-
turn, from their employers the loose
crumbs as they fell from the we'll
stocked and over-supplied table.
Those textile employers, who, dur
ing this terrible period of the worlds
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1925-09-04

human suffering, profiteered. at the
expense of this bleeding humanity,
tell us today and have it published
broadcast that they increased the
wages of their workers one hundred
and fifty per cent (150 per cent?, dur
ing this period, but these employers
do not state at the same time when
increases started that average wages
of textile workers in The United
States were under $500 per week.
The reader will undoubtedly say,
"Let us forget this war period hys-
terra, and come down to present day
conditions in the industry" We
would gladly do so, and avoid the
subject of the war in it's entirety,
if it were not for the fact that the
present day condition in our industry
is result and an aftermath of the
war brought about through the neg
lect, and in some cases, vicious neg
lect of profiteering employers during
the war
The machinery in operation in the
textile mills was driven without
cessation at top speed. Dividends
on top of dividends were being de-
clared to such an extent that in many
cases it was equal, and in some
double the capital invested in the in
dustry. These machines that did SO
much in creating more wealth for
their owners guided as they were by
the hand and brain of the human
were expected to continue indefinitely
to bring their golden harvest.
The most expensive factor that
enters into the production of textiles
is the raw material, and we can well
remember the plea made by the late
President Wilson to the citizens OF
our country who could afford it tc
buy bale of cotton. We know now
how the bankers invested in this raw
material, and because of that invest.
ment, through the loans of huge
sums of money to the large cottor
growers of the South, they were in {
position to dictate terms What was
the first act of these bankers wher
opportunity presented itself? L
| was. if we remember rightly, and VIZ
think we do, notice served upor
those planters who produced cotto1
in large quantities to restrict then
ouput, and in this way enhance its
| value.
