ues. The public should avoid the possible serious damage to tho honest and well-intended employ CT who Is trying to work out the problems of application of the soc called blanket code in his partic- ular business, at least until sui. ficient additional time has been al- lowed for orderly adjustment. As has been pointed out before. in an area in which economic organiza. ton Is as complex as 1t is in New England, the task of changing the hours of work, hours of operation, and rates of pay, of literally hun- dreds of thousands of workers without series disruption In indus- try and commerce ia really Q tre. mendous job. We must have pa- tience and sympathy with the more than 100000 employers in New England, who have signed the presidents unemployment agree ment and are now trying honest ly to put its terms into effect.
 "The question has arisen in some cases as to what should be done when a signer of the presi- dont's re-employment agreement Htta0 ttsAt f8C (<%AAAtVt AAVAS8sAy SVkh- ply with it's terms and wants to return the insignia. want to em- phasize that at this time 1t is the policy of the national recovery ad- ministration to get as many em- ployers as possible under the Blue Eagle. Therefore, the employer who honestly questions whether he can live up to the terms of his agreement is urged not to return his insignia too hastily, but ra-. ther to keep it in effect and apply for whatever relief he thinks nec- essary under the terms of Sec- ton IA of the presidents re-em- ployment agreement. It should be remembered that the terms of the agreement itself set up the ma chinery by which inslirmountable hardships may he avoided by the individual employer under the agreement.
 "This does not mean that where individuals think that they have legitimate knowledge of an actual infraction, and can support thatr allegation by creditable evidence they should not call the facts to the attention of their local MIRA committee. This Is not only pos- sible but frequently desirable in-- asmuch as 1t enables the local committee to assist the employer concerned to iron out his dtmcui- ties. On the other hand. It is es- sentiai that these complaints be kept in the realm of honest and good-humored effort to apply the presidents re-emplowment agree ment legitimately and honestly. We must exclude every suspicion of malice or false rumor pending the period when employers may be expected to complete the mani fold re-adjustments which they are inding necessary"

Slander Not, Is
 Chairman's Advice
Reports of Anyone's Failure to Adhere to Codes May
 Do Irreparable Damage

Boston, Sept z. 4 warning against tho indiscrim;nate. repoti- ton of rumors and gossip regard Ing adherence to the presidents re-employment agreement and the industrial codes adopted under the MIRA was issued here to-day by Chairman Robert r. shepard of the New England District Recovery Board. In a statement niAde public at District Board headquarters. 80 Federal street, Boston, MT Shepard pointed out that ths next phase of the NRA campaign will be one of education and Interpretation, to
 make sure that every employer who has signed tho presidents re- employment agreement understands how to put 1t into effect in his par ticulars circumstances, and that, pending the completion of this phase, the good faith of those who are trying to work out their prob lens under the NRA should be taken for granted.
 .'so far complaints reaching the New England District Recovery Board are concerned" Chairman Shepard said, It Is evident that the great majority are based upon mis- Understanding and misapprehen- sion on the part of employer or employe. The New England Dis trict Recovery Board and the six State Recovery Boards of New England will put increasing em- phasis in the next two weeks on the administrative job of straight ening out difficulties in the appii- cation of the presidents re-em- ployment agreement wherever they exist throughout New England.
 "In the meantime. 1t will be readily seen that the indiscrimin- ate spreading of rumors regarding the adherence .or non-adhercnce of any individual employer to the terms of the agreement which he has signed is likely to produce the most grfevous injustices." Chair man Shepard's statement contin-

COMING OF MACHINES BROUGHT
 STRIFE TO TEXTILE INDUSTRY

Accounts of the times are fiiled with descriptions of awful condi- tions in the mill districts.
 sIatcr's Influence in U. S.
 From hat time until this there were flow more basic inventions in the textile industry. Eii Whit ney's cotton gin was the most sig nificant one In America, and that was ins 1793. Four yeara before, Samuel Slater, father of the U. s. cotton industry, had come to this country and started q yarn mill at pawtucket, R. I. He mostly employed children between the age of 8 and 14, and paid them from 80 cents to S1.40 q week. Then and thereafter, textile jobs were the lowest paid of all major industries. Slater was paternalis- tic, though. He started the first sunday school in the nation, and the first workers schools, and forced his employees to attend them. ..
 Factory labor in those days ap- parently wasn't the least desirable of occupations. Alexander Hamil- ton. when he waa secretary of the treasury, pointed out that the ksSW 6Hktahu SottVu Ahse ASsS~s ed many women and children from the bondage of farm work, and permitted them to make q living by working only 12 to 14 hours . dayl Also, in his report to the congress carly in i70i, he said: Tt is worthy of particular remark that, in general, women and chill dren are rendered more useful, and the latter moro early useful. by rnanufnctur establishments than they otherwise would be-" And SO women and children made themselves useful by going into the mills, which sprang up in the northern eenboard states and finally ia the south. AS . matter of fact, women were tho organiz- CTS of the first strikes. The earii- est of these one record occurred In 1928, whom the mill girls of Dover, N. H., went out against c wage cut and for a 10-hour day. They were not successful. Such local labor organizations as were formed then came within the scope of the con- splracy laws, and the leaders were often tmprisonor.
 Birth of Labor Reform Move | In Lowell, Mass. in 1884, 5000 women ana klTie muTcnoQ out against . wage cut with . procla- nation which read: "As our fath-
 CTS resisted unto blood the iordiy avarice of the British ministry, SO we, their daughters, never will
 wear the yoke which has been pre- pared for us." Out of that grew the Lowell Female Labor Reform association which, in turn, event. uaiiy brought about the first gov- ernment Investigation into labor conditions in this country.
 organizetoins of . trade.union character did not got . permanent
 foothoid until shortly before the Civil war, when various political and social reform movements had
 failed to win economic stability or Justice for the workers. And
 not until 1901 was there any feds
 eration of trade unions through
 out the textile industry. Then, at Washington, was organized the
 United Textile Workers of Amer lea, m affiliate from the first of the American Federation of Labor,
 ft soon discovered that 1t had taken on . very difilcuit job.

more important changes seem to have been wrought In the human pattern of textile making during the last two months than were brought about in the previous two centuries.
 The drama of the hing is moro apparent if you go back. briefly, and scan the sequence of events in the unwieldly, disorganized, in- efficient and usually. greedy and oppressive industry. Time was, of course, when hand-spinning and weaving were pastoral and idyllic pursuits. But that all ended with the introduction of abor-saving--- and labor r-eliminating--mac Start of Industrial Revolt .. =. ..
 A machinist named John Kay started the revolutionary trend ex- actly 200 years ago with the in- vention of the flying shuttle" It was Q crude thing, and at best only allowed one weaver to do the work of two. But England's weavers were quick to sense the threat of robot age, and proceeded to chase Kay out of town. He tried to settle In Leeds, but mob broke in, tried to kill him, and seized his mode of spinning ma chine. With considerable cere- mony the contraption was carried to the public square and destroyed as "a very dangerous piece of furniture" Kay died in poverty, but his flying shuttle continued to step up the industrial tempo of his country.
 Hargreaves, e humble Lancashire weaver, took out patent on tho spinning jenny-so.c called In honor of his wife. Yarn always be- foro had been made on single spindle machines, but as he sat watching his wife at her wheel he wondered why more spindles couldn't bo mounted on the franc and made to operate simultaneously. They could, he discovered, and before long there were hundreds of jennies in oper- alton. Owing to the awkward po- sitlon they required of their oper- ators 1t was found that children could work them more easily. And that was when children In large numbers were first set to toll In textiles.
 At first there were only eight spindles to . jenny; then the num- Dor was gradually increased to

left Is q model or the power loom Slater introduced the Arkwright n ming hns advanced from CartwrigI rayon mill at Elixabcthton, Tenn. 12o. Mobs of jobiess spinners be- gan ferreting out such machines and smashing them to bits. But they finally reconciled themselves to the robots onward march.
 Along about tho samo time np- peared one Richard Arkwright, an- ex.barber with q mechanical bent who was destined to be knighted by tho king. The flying shuttle and spinning jenny could be work cd in homes, but tho machinery he produced implied production on e larger scale. It called for mills, power equipment and capital; in other words, modern industrial- ism. At Nottingham he built the first practical cotton mill in the world, run by horse power. others wore soon established, some run by water wheels. Time and again factories were wrecked or burned in q desperate effort to force q general return to the old manual processes.
 Cronpton's "spinning Mule"
 The final development in spin. ning--practically Identical with to-day's method-arrived on Sam. ucl Crompton's "spinning mule. His apparatus produced thread so fine that 1t was no longer neces- sary to import the fine muslins of India. Which was very bad news for India, but did serve to put thousands back to work in Eng. land. It was soon learned, how ever. that yarn now could be spun much more rapidly than 1t could be woven Into anything useful.

And it was not until Edmund Cart wright perfected the power loom in 17S5 that the balance of pro- duction was restored.
 All these years the very bright. est minds had agreed that entirely mechcanical weaving was and al- ways would Do impossible.

FROM THE DEATH OF THE FLOWERS"

The wind-fower and the violet, they perished long ago. And the brier-rose and the orchids died amid the summer glow; But on the hills the golden-rod. and the aster in the wood, And the yellow sunfower by the brook in the autumn beauty stood. Till fell the frost from the clear cold heaven as falls the plague on men, And the brightness of their smile was gone from upland glade and glen.

got a yield of % bushels per acre
from one field and an average of
20 bushels from another field Ac-
cording to the official allotment of

show that the average grower in

per grower. On the basis of this
average of which "a per cent or
