STUDY THIS FACT.
A Machine-Exhausted Mother
hood the Republic's Menace.
We have fought for our relig
ious liberty, but industrial liberty
is still a thing of the future. There
are 6,000,000 working girls in this
country, and what are the condi
tionsfi the environment under
which they perform their daily
labors? Thousands of these girls
operate dangerous laundry ma
chinery and receive only $5 a
week. The greatest thing we
have to contend with in our in
dustrial life is the speeding up. as
it were, of the machinery. The
work which was formerly per
formed ih the home by the women
is now done in the factories. The
great difficulty between yester
day and today is the introduction
of machinery which makes of the
factory worker a mere machine
tender and under conditions in
most cases detrimental to health.
We are simply becoming a part
of a machine. Mrs. Raymond
Robins.
