CHESTER, Pa., June 26.—Inhuman conditions imposed on workers and exposed during the Pass textile mills of Chester.

And they are waiting for ac- | tion. And their helpers, who struck with them, returned to work when the mechanics walked back, are endeavor- ing to get all their men placed on the $6 a day rate. It is $2 a day more than most of them got hefore. The helpers’ union—the American Asso- ciation of Plumbers’ Helpers—says that a large percentage of the men are under the desired scale and the rest are all getting more than the old rate, though recognition has, not yet been obtained. ‘Progressive Shirt Men Have Nominated Ticket In Local 280 Election ceived had he not been suspended,| ary tacties the old red cow deserves After a heated debate on the sub-| highest commendation.

Of these cards, (we indiscriminately pick out a few: Card A, for fifty hours of work, a ; Wage of $12.50; Card B, for thirty- ‘six hours of work, $8.28; Card C, for fifty hours of work, $11.25; Card D, for forty-five hours of work, $9.25; Card E, for fifty hours of work, $10,00; Card F, for forty-one hours of work, $7.38, What is the use of going on? It | is evident that the present wages and hours were rotten enough to stimulate | workers to revolt. And on top of that, the humanitarian owner of the company imposed a cut of five per |eent. We wonder how the recipient of the wage of $7.38 felt. Not only are the wages low and | the hours long, but these are indigni- | ties forced, for the most part, on little children. There is a loop in the law |which allows the textile bosses in Pennsylvania to employ children of 14 years, if some sort of papers are ob- | tained. | When an observer stands at the |mill gate children who could not pos- | sibly be more than twelve years, pass in to work, their faces drawn and ;pale, ready to slave, in some in- \'stances, fifty hours a week in the un- healthy atmosphere of a textile mill. Here they must bear the speeding up of the bosses, a filthy stench from the unsanitary toilets, and when their short lunch period comes, find roaches in the lunch pails, because the own- ers of the Irving Worsted Yarn Co. are too inipoverished by the high | wages they pay (!) to provide hu- |manly decent conditions for the chil- /ly exploit.

The membership of said local either accepted his decisions, or were driy- en out of town thru the cooperation of the business agent and the manu- facturers. It is a well known fact among the shoe workers of Boston that who- ever went to the union for prices or conditions was layed off the next day. It has also happened where a whole department was fired out for | the only “sin” of going up to a union meeting. This local has a so-called honorary | book for members attending meet- ings. As a result of that many curi- ous incidents grew out of it. | The foreman would go over to a worker and tell him that he is fired. | When the worker insisted to know | called “honorary book.” | The climax of the fight came when * {a@ communication of the general office was read to unseat three members of president of the executive board and the vice-president of the local, whe were charged with belonging to a dual union.
