FAULTY METHODS
OF Out-Of-Date Textile Man
ayers Harm Industry

Greenville, S. C.-Many textile
manufacturers are out of date and
depend on low wages to "muddle
through" declared students of this
industry at a banquet here.
James w. Cox, Jr., chairman of the
textile division of the American Soci-
ETY. of Mechanical Engineers, said
that the average textile mill has been
operated sin rather haphazard, slip
shod, careless manner, as compared
to modern industries. We have been
governed great deal by precedent
and custom, not by reason" he said.
with present keen competition a
textile mill can not be profitably op-
Grated by old-fashioned so-called
practical methods, or on new the
cries. but must be operated on facts
in definitely controlled, scientific
manner. Other industries have done
this and SO can we. Some mills are
doing it, most of them are not"

city, deplored the low-wage system
that has been fastened on this Indus
try.
"While many improvements have
been made in machinery" he said,
''we have not heard much about the
output per person. This country has
not grown rich on low wages. The
policy of thrift, if carried too far,
would bankrupt the United States. Is
it wise to think we should have low
wages to succeed? | don't know how
much we can increase wages, but
why don't we start with the idea and
see if we can not raise general pros
perity by increasing the product per
person"
Mr.. Shrine declared that cotton
manufacturers use their machinery
too long. They could afford to scrap
their equipment much quicker than
they do; they lack courage, he said.

Organization Work Gains

dismissal Of this individual as an a-
for to destroy the union and prompt
ly all quit work despite contrary in
struction from federation headquar-
ters.
The strike lasted only two weeks,
however. Through the good Offices of
7. A. Riggs, representing the Domin-
ion ministry of labor, the mayor of
Guelph and other officials together
with the local trade unionists, an
agreements was reached with the Lam
ders Companw not to discriminate
against any persons on account of un-
ion membership and to take back all
of those employed when the walk-out
occurred.
This settlement has been hailed as
a great victory not only by the group
in Guelph but by other full fashioned
workers throughout the province.
Organizer f. F. Callaghan will return
to Ontario for a time to assist the
newly established local to find it's
feet and to meet with the workers

ENT-DAY LIFE

Washington.-Our fast social and
industrial life threatens the health OF
women, according to the United
States Public Health Service.
Young women, especially, are
warned to apply the brakes to their
activities or face physical and nerv-
Gus breakdown.
Thrills and excitements of fast
night life, wild parties, allurements
Of business activity, the drive for
supremacy in school life and many
other abnormalities keep the body and
mind functioning-temporarily only"
said an official of the Public Health
Service. "But they are temporary
and unless the essential rudimef1ts of
good health are observed the human
machines can't stand the wear and
tear"

BOSSES
In Cloak and Suit Industry
Would Evade Agree
ment

New York.-Raymond ". Ingersoll,
impartial chairman for the cloak and
suit industry, has ruled that jobbing
firm must abide by its union agree
ment not to purchase non-union made
garments.
The agreement was signed by the
International Ladies' Garment Work.
ers' Union and the Merchants Ladies'
Garment Association. The purpose Of
the agreement is to stabilize the in
dustry. The union complained to the
impartial chairman that the jobber
had been dealing with non-union shops
and the association declined to in
struct him to discontinue this prac-
tice
The association did not deny the
charge, but claimed that the garments
were purchased outright rather than
from material furnished by the job
ber.
Chairman Ingersoll rejected the en-
ployers' plea. He showed that the
agreement provides: "No member of
the association shall employ or con-
tinue employing manufacturer
whose name is not included in the
latest corrected list of union shops
furnished by the union, and shall not
have garments produced or supplied
by such manufacturer"
The chairman declared that neither
the testimony offered by the associa-
ton nor any common-sense interpre-
tation Of the language in the present
agreemen would permit basis for
legalizing the giving of advance or
ders to a non-uion manufacturer to
make up garments out of his own
goods. Such process would involve
the actual initiation by q jobber of
work in non-union shop"

FARM ILLS HIT

New York.-"The farmers condi-
ton is of interest to the city dweller,
and especially to urban workers." said
Senator Copeland.
"If the farmer fails he goes to the
city and increases the number OF
workers there, Overcrowding in the
great industrial centers means undue
competition and lower wages.
1T is sad commentary to learn
that farmers last year received ST.
5O0,000,000 for their crops, but when
these crops came to the consumers,
the latter paid s22,5OO, 10000"

Guelph, Ontario Q. L. N. S.)-The
successful conclusion Of the strike at
the full fashioned plant here of Lam
ders Brothers, Inc, during the past
week has established for a group of
some forty knitters and girl workers
the right to belong to the American
Federation Of Full Fashioned Hosiery
Workers.
Less than six months ago the hos
iery workers organization, at the ur-
gent request of group of young
people employed in about a dozen
scattered plants in the province Of
Ontario, started an educational cam
paign. Various organizers and Off
GERS of the federation paid brief
visits to Canada and met with the
knitters and girls working in different
shops throughout the province.
Charter Granted In Guelph
Three months ago a charter was
granted to local in Guelph. Almost
the entire force of the Landers Broth
ers' mill joined the organization de-
spite efforts by the company to pre-
vent them from SO doing. No effort
was made by workers to force recog-
milton of the union or to secure con-
cessions from the company, the menu
bers simply devoted themselves at
the outset to learning the principles
and history of the labor movement
and of the knitters' organization.
Various Canadian trade unionists CO.
operated splendidly in the work of or
ganizing this local and in holding it
together.
No publicity was given to this or
ganization work being carried on in
Canada for various reasons and every
effort was made to carry on the work
in such manner that no trouble
would result Immediately in mills
where the knitters or women workers
joined the union. The mills are widely
separated and most of them are small
and were recently established. How
ever, the type of worker employed in
these plants was most sympathetic to-
ward the idea of labor unionism and
collective bargaining. A high stand
ard of education prevails among these
workers, and particularly fine spirit
Of fraternity is found among groups
of young people employed in the in
dustrial establishments here.
Workers Walk Out

in the Landers mill October Is, as
result of the discharge of union
member. The employees regarded the

1wenty-SK Strike Pickets
90 to Jail on Charges Of
Violating Kenosha Injunction

Kenosha, Wis. Q. l.. N. S.)-Amid
scenes resembling a college football
celebration twenty-six Allen-A hos
iery strikers, including eight girls,
left here October 81 to start jail sem
tences Of indeterminate terms in the
Milwaukee house of correction.
These 26 workers were found guilty
OF civil contempt of court in violating
the terms of a federal Injunction
handed down last spring by United
States Judge Geiger at the instance
of the Allen-A Company. Fines of
$4,000 each were imposed ON the 26
defendants, but on discovering that
this money would be turned over to
the Allen-A Company all of them re-
fused to pay these penalties and chose
Jail instead. The American Fedora
ton of Full Fashioned Hosiery Work
ers would undertake to raise money
to pay these fines but has not done
so up till now because of the urgen
demand of the strikers that this
course should not be followed. There
are actually 27 persons involved in
this case, but one girl striker, Pauline
Conrad, was taken to the hospital
here with an attack of appendicitis
the day before the group went to
jail, and will join the others in prison

carried the 26 defendants, together
with their sympathizers to the house
Of correction in Milwaukee. The 26
marched to the Jail singing "The
Prisoners Song" and "We May Be
Gone for Long, Long Time," and
cheering Justify for the union. News
paper accounts of the demonstration
stress the jubilant manner of the
strikers and the high-hearted enthus-
iasm which all of them showed.
Newly Weds in Jail Group
Included among the &c now serving
Jail sentences are two middle aged
men not members of the American
Federation of Full Fashioned Hosiery
Workers but simply strike sympathiz-
ers who happened to be near the mill
on the day when the alleged VIOLA
tions of the injunction took place.
One young couple were married just
five days before entering Jail and will
have to postpone their honeymoon un-
til being released.
Another married pair, Arthur Gloss
and his wife, brought their three
young children with them to jail but
it was discovered that no nursery IA
cilities were available at the house Of
correction. Only at the last minute
was relative found who could take
care of the youngsters, the oldest of
whom is three years old and the
youngest twins of 16 months.
Before leaving Kenosha all the 26
defendants cast absentee ballots at
the county court house.

10 Ages Of Justices For

Washington, d. C. Q. L. N. S.)s-.
Labor's paramount concern in the
next four years lies in the direction
of the United States supreme court,
according to Frank Morrison, secre-
tary Of the American Federation of
Labor, who today discussed the cleo
ton results. President Green has not
returned to his office from western
trip which took him to his Ohio home
to vote.
AS to congress Secretary Morrison
said: "h my opinion the new con-
gress will be the best congress since
the one that enacted the Clayton act
under Woodrow Wilsuta"
Appointments which will be made
within the next four or eight years
to the supreme court are of the ut
most Importance" said Mr.. Morrison.
"Whatever changes are made will
affect labor.
with a progressive congress-" Mr..
Morrison continued, "it is our hope to
secure legislation helpful to labor and
to prevent confirmation of reaction
airy men, if such men are appointed" ;"
Labor's point of view, as expressed
by the secretary, is that whatever Leg
islation may be enacted to meet la
boris requirements will have to pass
the supreme court. If a supreme
court stands in the roadway with neg
ative decisions progress will be diff

Appeal Is Taken

The attorneys in the case are doubt
full as to the length of time the 81
strikers will have to spend in the
house of correction. An appeal has
been taken by Judge Joseph Padway,
attornye for the strikers, against the
decision of Judge Geiger, but some
time must elapse before the United
States circuit court can hear this
case.
A big demonstration and parade
was held in Kenosha with thousands
of citizens lining the streets to cheer

for a principle. The next morning a
