PICKET
Freedom Won By Trenton
Movie Operators

Trenton, N. J. (ILNS). - Organ
lied labor has won a signal victory on
appeal from police court convictions
against seven members of the Motion
Picture Operators Union, charged
with violating the city's so-called
sandwich ordinance.
In Mercer Court Judge Schroth re-
versed the police court convictions and
set aside the fines The Judge held
that because the ordinance specified
certain things as lawful, it did not
follow that certain other things not
contained in the ordinance were un-
lawful
The men were convicted in police
court for wearing union buttons while
picketing. The decision now is that
this is lawful, though the court
warned that picketing must not re-
suit in disturbing public peace.
The union contention is upheld by
the decision and an effort to prevent
picketing through use of an ordinance
clearly intended for other purposes
and never intended to restrict picket
ing has failed. The Norris -LaGuardia
anti-injunction law did not figure in
the case, since it was not a Federal
court case.

BY Mr.. MOdestus-

India made the earliest cotton cloth
of which we know.
But the rapid process cotton gin
was made in America.
The cotton gin of India was just
some rollers.
The Indian cotton seed was looser
in the boil. Il
And the lint, or fiber, was longer.
The rollers just squeezed the seed
out of the loose, long cotton lint.
Some of the seed was crushed, and
that spoiled part of the cotton.
American cotton-seed grew tight in
the bolls.
The lint was shorted, and much
harder to separate.
Until 1893 all American cotton
seed was picked out by hand.
That was slow, and very tedious,
took an enormous amount of labor.
But Eli Whitney invented set of
rollers with wires.
The wire points pulled the cotton
fibre through narrow slots.
Cotton right from the boil was
worth six cents a pound then.
Cotton lint, without the seed, was
worth 25 cents pound.
That was the pull behind the in
vention of the cotton gin.
Before that, in England, man

named Earnshaw invented spinning
machine.
He destroyed it, because it would
take the living away from so many
hand spinners.
But Arkwright perfected the spin
ming jenny of Hargreaves.
He combined the assembly of many
spindles with the drawing out of the
threads.
This made, for the first time, a
thread at once fine and hard.
Manufacturers were afraid to use
Arkwright's mule"
The hand spinners threatened to
murder him.
But the pull was too strong-and
the mule won out.
Water-power was used to drive the
machines.
Then came the opening of the coal
mines; and steam power followed.
From there on, Lancaster, England,
became the worlds cotton weaving
center.
Meanwhile, in America, it was i'm
possible to grow cotton as fast as it
could be ginned.
England could make cotton cloth
cheaper than any other nation.
India could make more beautiful
cotton cloth.
But the process was too slow-it
could not keep up with the worlds
demand
Machine labor, skilled, had entered
into the use of cotton.
But the production of cotton was
still by cheap hand labor
So slavery in America was profit
able, and grew to power.
That was the day of the "man with
the hoe"
The pillow of those days was mostly
a crooked stick.
A plow with mold-board for turn
ing over the soil, appeared in the
