I'was badly ruptured while lifting a

my only hope- of cure was an operation.
Trusses did mo no good. Finally I got
hold, of something that quickly and com

pails leaning: over the brass rails
drinking and talking how the govern
ment should be run and their wives
and their children waiting home for
them for supper. It is not those who
drink who suffer, but tho ones who
are dependent on them. It is easy
to say "I would leave him," but if
ono has four or five children they
just have to suffer, and of all the un
told suffering and privation the wo
men and children of this country
have endured our Maker only knows.
It has been enforced in other
places, why not here? Of all tho ab
surd sayings that a miner must have
his drink, that is tho most absurd,
for a majority of miners do not drink
and part of the remainder desire it
cut out entirely. I speak because I
know, because I talked to these men,
because I live among them. I heard
recently that in Pittsburg tho produc
tion in tho mines after pay day is
60 per cent. In West Virginia where
it is bone dry it is 100 per-cent. I
have lived in the south where prohi
bition was enforced and what good
towns, good people the became.
The only claimants as far as I
know are those engaged in the traffic
and they are waxing rich to the de
triment of the wives and children of
the husbands and fathers who drink.
In the county of , Pennsyl
vania, there are 1,000 or more
licensed places and many more trying
to- get licenses and from what I hear
are getting rich.
In the rural districts if one should
visit the saloons and see the type of
those keeping those saloons, they
would not term them "The Working
Men's Club." Far from it. Some
saloon keepers in the rural districts
pan hardly talk the English language.
I was informed the other day that
the reason it was not enforced in
Luzerne, Lackawanna and Schuylkill
counties was that the miner must
have liquor. There never was a
worse stigma placed on the miner.
Let any' one come here and ascertain,
go amongst the miners and see.
I have talked to many doctors and
they said there were no healing prop
erties whatever In alcohol. ' '
I believe the Volstead act then is
a loophole and that wherein it says
t No intoxicating beverages, in my
opinion it should say rno alcohol.
A PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRAT.
Iy must bo attributed the straight
forward method in which the em
ployes joined in dealing with Adverse
conditions.
Tho wage reduction which will bo
felt by 5,000 men and women is on
tho base rate of pay, so that this
will indirectly affect that 10 per cent
bonus, or premium, which is paid for
devotion to duty. The worker who
stands to his cotton card or his loom
or his drawing frame six., days in the
week wins that 10 per coht premium,
but loses it if he misses a day. To
reduce tho base of pay, therefore,
Is to affect the bonus which is com
puted on the base rate. It will not,
however, impair the. economy divi
dend which, under the industrial
democracy policy, is payable month
ly to all hands and shared with tho
cotton mill corporation.
It would bo Idle to nrgo that such
a form of industrial doraocraey
should be adopted In every Industry.
Thero are some where it would not
work successfully, but somo other
form might. However, It shows
clearly that a great deal can bo ac
complished by adopting somo moas
"uro to remove tho feeling of antagon
ism between employer and employed.
This depends as much on the former
as the latter.
And it Is significant that while
very few mills are running on full
time in the south and that in somo
wage reductions of 40 per cent have
been mado, tho mills mentioned above
are running on full time and with
a much smaller reduction in wage,

INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY
How the sense of ownership and
direct participation in a firm's wel
fare removes the sense of antagonism
between employer and employed is
well illustrated in the recent action
of the employes of the Dan River
and Riverside. Cotton Mill Corpora
tion, in Virginia, when they voted
voluntarily for a. decrease of 25 per
cent in wages. The situation there
was not that of the "boss" arbitrarily
cutting the payroll, but of "boss"
and "mill-hand" jointly facing a con
dition of depressed trade and meet
ing that condition effectively.
A form of industrial democracy
similar to that of the government of
the United States has been - estab
lished in the plant, with a house
and a senate of the workers and a
cabinet over which the president of
the corporation presides with the
same power as that of the president
of the United States. This power in
cludes that of veto, which however,
has never yet been resorted to.
A standing committee on payrolls
for the congress was formed some
time ago and this committee has re
vised the scale upward 160 per cent
since it was organized until it came
face to face with the present situa
tion. Then after careful study of
conditions it found itself as ready to
recommend a cut, which was put In
to the form of a "bill" and passed.
