Harvest Indeed

The wel-knoVn investment house of Halsey Stu
art recently ran full-page advertisement on 1.-THE
Harvest of the Loom" Most of the space was given
to very impressive and wholly justiable eulogy
of the remarkable evolution of the textile industry
to which all so much comfort.
1t was in the textile industry that machinery first
was introduced and the way was opened for the in
dusrta revolution, the empire of machines and the
urban age.
The advertisement further assures us that the
textile industry stands first among American enter
prses in number of employees and in important in
dividual plants 1t ranks second in volume of capital
invested and the amount of motive power used.
But the advertisement carried certain figures
which readers apparently were not to examine too
closelythat is unless they had forgotten their long
division.
The information is given that total wages paid in
the American textile industry in year are 81 o99-
10000 Number of employees is listed as 1,119, 1888
This would appear to mean that the average wage is
s9S214
AS this includes many high-salatied executives
the average wage for unskilled workers would be
lower than this In the south the annual wage often
is nearly $500 less. In Greenville S. c. it is STA
once more including the salaries of foremen and ex-
ecutives
Obviously the harvest of the loom has not merely
increased human comfort and financial profits It
also has involved incredible crop of human woe
from the unspeakable English factories of century
ago to many of the mills of the south in 1890 From
Lord Ashleys reports to Lawrence New Bedford
Patterson and Gastona, it story of the making of
bent backs, dwarfed frames hollow eyes and hope
less wage slavery.
We we'll may be proud of the magnificent techno-
logical history of textiles We may rejoice in their
contribution to the increase of the comforts of those
who wear our textile products. But is it not about
time that the textile industry took steps to make its
social history clean and reputable as its industrial
development?
The latter to date is written large in misery woe
anguish and helpless futility Should we not step into
a new era? We believe that it would not only be
gesture Of humanity. We think it would be sound
business step in the long run.
Southern textile leaders like Henry P Kendall
Eben Whitman and L. T. Brown and George A. Sloan
president of the CottonTextile institute recently
have spoken out in favor of a civilized textile in
dustry All friends OF progress should cooperate to
help them translate their golden words into solid
achievement.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ

i L.
Scientists Come out of Clois-
tiers to Tell Secrets So Lay
man Can Understand
Them.
MO better proof of a changed
IN point Of view on the part of
scientists could be found than the
many excellent books addressed to
the laymen now appearing under
the names of distinguished scien-
fists.
This writer-who has been en-
gagged during the last eight years
in the business of translating SCI
entif1c discoveries into nontechnical
English-can remember the day
when. many scientists felt no wish
to deal with the public.
Despite the fact that such men as
Huxley had labored whole gen.
Grafton ago to populariZe science,
there remained until quite recently
many scientists who regarded their
laboratories as cloisterS.
Scientists today. however. feel
that it is part of their duty to
spread the spirit of science, as we'll
as to provide the world with useful
tools.
1t is a good thing that they think
so. A machine shop is a useful
place when competent workers are
at the machines. 1t is dangerous
place, however, in which 70 turn
loose a bunch of children.
The world needs to know how to
put the findings of science to the
best possible use.

For the last thirty or forty years
it has been advised to take the road
leading to a pay envelope every
week. and to avoid such ventures as
involved risk; to rent house, or
apartment, rather than buy a
home; to get under the wing of
some big corporation, rather than
establish a business Of its own; to
let bankers handle its money; and,
in short, do nothing, or seek to be
nothing, except cog Of the mech
anism.
The result is fewer failures, but
longer bread lines in the case of a
slump; bigger reserves for big bust
ness, but at the price of smaller
reserves, or no reserves at all on the
part of too many common folks, and
a perfectly logical demand for in
creased regulation and assistance
