Children in Industry

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-John p.
Coughlin, secretary of the Central
Trades and Labor Council of New
York, discussing the proposed child
labor amendment urged the need of
legislation giving congress the power
to regulate the labor of children up
to eighteen years He emphasized the
greater percentage of industrial &C.
cidents occurring to children because
of their playful and reckless spirit.
Almost every mechanic you meet"
said Coughlin, has lost one, two or

chances are he lost them when a boy

hustle to keep up with you in produc-
ton; make him hustle to figure out
the increase in your weekly pay by
the increase in the work that you do.
Don't be misled by any so-caIIed la
Dor leader outside of your own mill
to believe that it will profit you any
thing to do less work, or to make
more Jobs for more people.
"The operatives of the textile mills
OF New England are in competition
with the operatives Of the mills in
other countries as we'll as other Sec
tons of this country. If you are in
race you try to win. In a race you
run as fast as you can to win. You
can beat the life out Of the operatives
in any other mills If you will make a
race OF 1t. :"
The Southern Mills.
In the following passage we see the
ingenious playing up of the South
ern mill'' bogy, in complete disregard
of the fact that the big southern mills
are largely if not completely control
led by the same financial interests:
The cotton mills of the
south are busy, and hundreds Of them
are running day and night. This is
because the costs of production are
lower in the south, wages are lower.
hours of operation are longer, so those
southern mills are getting business.
The New England cotton mill opera
tives can overcome this condition if
they want to do so. II they will all
double up in their work wherever pos
sible, or do so per cent more work
where 100 per cent more lie not pos.
slble, or do 10 per cent more work
where 80 per cent more is not pos.
sible, we can get the lowest cost of
production Of any mills in the
world"
Trust the Preaehers-They Wouldn't
LieI
I'VE do not ask the operatives in
the New England mills to take our
word for any of this, we suggest that
they talk 1t over amongst themselves
to see IL II is not true. Ask your
second hands about it. Ask your
overseer. Ask any OF your old time
friends who have succeeded in their
businesses and who are now in bust.
ness on their own account. Go into
the savings bank and ask the presl-
dent Of the bank, or the cashier If all
this isn't true. Ask the clergyman Of
your church.
9. We do not know how many
looms each weaver can run. We do
not know how many sides OF spinning
each, operative can tend. Some are
better workers than others. !"
And the grand ultimatum closes
with an insinuating plea for each text
lie worker TO pit himself against his
fellow workers in a race against his
fellow workers in the effort TO hold
the half OF the jobs which will not be
abolished by the speeding up pro-
cess.
The effect of the slave drivers de-
claration, as far as II can yet be seen,
Is TO stir up the fiercest rage among
the workers here and a better under

weavers are getting twice as much
production, steadier work and a con-
siderable increase in wages. :"
This lying about increase in wag-
es" always in some vague, un-named
PLACES done in brazen disregard Of
the fact that wages are being reduced
everywhere and in exactly those plac-
es where production is doubled per
worker or speeded up. The state
ment continues:
Half of Workers to be Fired.
"In another mill the operatives have
doubled up on the work; have had
their pay increased as much as 20
per cent per operative; the weavers
tend more looms, spinners tend more
sides of spinning, card room help tend
three frames where they used to tend
only two; all extra hands have been
done away with, and this 100000 spin
die mill with 5000 looms, which be-
fore the war employed 1900 opera
tiVes, now runs full with 600 oper-
atives, all earning more money, all
producing more goods, and all thoroly
employed. The operatives have had
steady work and increased wages; the
mill has been profitably employed;
the stockholders have had dividends,
and by doubling up of the work,
everybody has profted.
"This doubling up Of the production
per operative has become very COM
mon in New England. We know one
Rhode Island mill where the weavers
used to operate from twelve to sixteen
looms, they now operate forty-eight
looms. In Fall River mill the weav-
ers are tending fifty-five automatic
looms; New Hampshire mill they
are tending sixty-four automatic
looms; in a Maine mill they are tend
ing forty looms; in a Massachusetts
mill they are tending seventy-five
looms, and in the other departments
also, carding, spinning, etc, there has
been similar doubling up, and oper-
atives have had full employment and
increased wages.
Must Fawn to Hold Jobs.
"In most instances this increase Of
production per operative must start
with the operatives themselves. Let
the operatives talk II over amongst
themselves. In mills where they are
running twelve looms, let the opera
tives decide that they can tend four
teen or eighteen OF twenty looms per
weaver. Go to the overseer Of weav-
ing and tell him that you can do more
work and get more production, and
earn more money. Let the spinners
decide that they can tend two or
three more sides OF spinning and go
TO the overseer of spinning and tell
him that you can do more work and
earn more money. Save money for
the mill, and divide the saving with
the mill"
Let Boss be your Labor Leader.
"Work as II II were your own busl.
ness. Handle the whole job as II you
were working for yourself, and no 9th
or mill can produce cotton goods more
economically than can the mills Of
New England. The surest way in the
world to increase wages will be TO
do more work. co ahead on the basis

Now let us see what Ben Tillet, one
Of the English trade union delegates
to the Trade Union Congress in Mos
COW, after investigating conditions all
over Russia, says:
For .Curzon and Churchill the Rus
sian revolution is an outrage. They
represent the Bolsheviki as brute

is the woman SO protected and no.

This editor, double-crosser to the
farmers and workers of Williams

on Americanism and good citizenship.
This is the spokesman for the So
cialist party of the Second Interna-
tional, the Russian car, Kornilovs,
Wrangels, the kaisers and the Teapot
Dome crowd, the whole capitalist
class, which is to blame for the mil.
lions of farmers and workers lives
lost in the last war, and the Russian
counter-revolution. You, Mr.. Francis.
have become part and parcel Of that
murderous gang.
You farmers and workers Of VIII

for this ape Of the socialist crowd as
editor of your paper? Does he have to
be editor in order to hold the job as
states attorney?
Or is he afraid to let anyone else
in to find out that the Farmers Press
is financial wreck?
Let us boot this legal scab out Of
our press. He should be satisfied with
one job, "a real states attorney"
In conclusion let me say this: The
Workers (Communist) Party of Amer
lea is the only organization today
fighting the battle Of the farmers and
workers, against the capitalist system,
and the DAILY WORKER is the only
daily paper raising the standard for
workers and farmers government in
America.

Yet for the most part the tete
ran true to form and to tradition
from the moment the President and
Mrs. Coolidge made their always inn
pressive entrance to the last glimpse
Of the Presidential party disappear
ing up the stairway, with Mrs.
Coolidge leaning over the balcony
to waive to friends below.
Not Many Changes
Even the Green Room, about
whose characterization" there has
been SO much talk, 'oks pretty
much the same except for its new
paint. Fresh paint everywhere con-
tributes to an impression of fresh
ness. The East Room is newly
pannelied in flat ivory tones, very
well done.
Flowers wera used sparingly last
night, but with excellent effect.
Pink seemed to prevail in the
decorations. with ported begonias
and quantities of pink roses set off
by feathery ferns. In the long cor
ridor there were red flowers to
match the tapers in many branched
candelabra.
The scarlet coated Marine Band"
played from it's accustomed station
in the corridor. The Stars and
Stripes and the Presidents flag,
borne by stalwart marine and a
doughboy, thanked as usual the
entrance to the Blue Room. And
as usual the entrance of the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Coolidge was preceded
by the traditional flourish of trum-
pets and accompanied by the strains
Of Hail to the Chief"

down stairs. There was Vice Presi-
