ASK TO BE LET A-ONE. Ethel Thomas Addresses Lett To Legislature Prohibiting Against Interference. The accompanying letter to our sei ator and representatives was haude to The Hearld and News on Thur y with the request that it be prin We regret that it could not b led in Friday's paper. ee are several measures pri d in the legislature affecting th - in our cotton mills and propo4 urther to regulate said labo: eompanying appeal seems t reference especially to the te aw requiring that not more tha ours be worked each day whit require the operatives to wor ours on: Saturdays, and thu them their Saturday afternoon are obtained by working mox ten -hours on the other days c eek. So far as The Herald an has information, the presex gement is entirely satisfactor operatives as well as the mi , and as pointed out by Mr: as, it would deprive the opern of any holiday at all in whie their shopping usless they lo ,Ii. The following is the lei 10 Drayton St., Newberry, S. C. January 26th, 1911 To the Hon. Senate and House c Representatives, Columbia, S. C. Gai tlemen: Woman can not vote neither does she wish to. But'whe the thumbserew is applied to her- it terests, I presume she has a right t squeal-hasn't she? If the house of representtaires an senate proposes to ."monkey" wit our time every day in the year, suri .1y I can expect them to spare 1n a-little of their time and attentiao for once, when I come before the2 in behalf of myself and for (Ahers. I am a weaver in Newberry Coi ton mills, and voice the sentimenI oLf every other woman employed her when I say let us alone. We are we pleased with things as they are. W -e not willing to have our' sixt hours per week divided by six, an by those who know mothing at a ioneerning our wishes, needs or r< quirements. PIf we are contented, why keep u forever in a stew with some 0l "bill" to change things? Why den us every God given right and privi Slee? Who 'has a right to ideprive a of our Saturday afternoons, that ar so eagerly looked forward to by u all? Take Saturday afternoons froi us, and I think you will 'have take the very last work day right ar privilege left us, and I suppose will be only a question of time, whe our Sundays will be ordered "cu and dried" for us! The fanner-if he has any "g up an' git" in him-often worn from twelve to thirteen 'hours pe day, and every " kid" big enough t carry a hoe puts in the full time dui ing the long hot days in June an July. Who would dare to interfez with the farmers rights? s ave mni people no rights ?-and sno voice i any matter pertaining to their we fare? Let us alone! Give us rest fro: enreasonlable "bills" proposed f< our "welfare" through mistake ideas of a few who are not concen~ ed. We are safe ir, the hands of et employers who have our interest heart, and are always ready to wor for it. They are kind to us and ti rules are reasonsable. With the in proved machinery now in use by a up-to-date cotton mills, work is i longer 'a dr'udgery it's a pleasure. If you take from us our Saturda aflb*noons, when, in the nameC common sense when, are we to i our shopping? "Colors seen 'by car dle light do not look the same b day," artd there would be a lot dissatisfied customers and cross, gnu: and ugly dry goods merchants. ----And when are we to have a fe moments to spend with our flower: tending them with loving hands whi: their fragrance and swee[ influent speak to us eloquently of Nature God? And when are we to have little .spare time for the garden, ti most loved spot around the home < every thrifty house wife? Let us alone, Oh, let us alone! E are not oven worked. We enjoy life as it is, are livin easy, 'happy and contented. TI thumb screw has been applied to ou interests enough. One more twit will be beyond the limit of enduranc< and we won't sit and suck our thumi while "bills" are being passedi our hurt, and by those who evident] wouldn't know a loom from a spin iing frame, A lug strap from a fil ing fork, or a picker stick from warp beam. Leave things as they are. We-tbi cotton mill women .you wish i "help'"-respectfully ask you. Mrs. Ethel Thomas. "WILL TAFT REPLY?" .r Papers and Magazines Not for tb Poor Workers. Mr. Wm. Howard Taft, Presiden! 1- U. S. A., Washington, D. C. d Dear Sir:-I se- from your me: - sage to cougress that there is a def t- cit in the postal department. e You say the cause of this defici is the carrying of second class ma matter too cheap (one cent pe e pound). You say the-railroad com ;- panies charge the Vnited State e. nine cents per pound, for carryin ;o se-cond class mail matter. n Now, Mr. Taft, I have it from th n very best authority that the expres h companies carry papers and mags k zines at one cent per pound, anoid th s express companies pay the railroa 3, companies only one half cent pe e pound for such matter. f Now the question arises, why thi d discrimination against- the people i it favor of the express companies b; y the railroads? 11 Now, Mr. Taft, myself and abou 5. 3,000,000 others want to know wh; L- the railroad eompanies can't carr; h an article for the people just a t cheap as they do for the expres - companies? You will fin enelosed a self-a dressed, stamped envelope for repl ). Will you please reply? Yours for justice, J. M. Crier. - San Antonio, Tex., Dec. 31, '09. n The facts embodied in the fore i- going letter indicate a policy 'of th o government of which the reader ma judge for :himself-yet not in silen id acquiescence; it is a subject that ev h ery one should bring to the atter - tion of his representatives in con .e gress with a demand - for action It a effect a change. n Just at the present time we ar vitally concerned about the Presj b- dent's reply to that letter. It co :s sists in applying himself vigorousl -, to infuence congress to alter th 11 postal law so as to exclude from se< e ond class - mail matter all magazine y and papers except the great dailie d (which have influence in presider 11 tial nominations). The one plea is, that the postU service is not paying expenses. J se great weekly Jabor journal asks: d pertinent question: "Why shodl y the deficit .made up? Why shoul i- the posto ee pay? Does the nay s pay ? Does the army pay ? DoE e -the agricultural department pay us Does the weather bureau pay? Doe n any . department 'of governmer n pay?"' Then why all -this hue ain .d cry about the postal deficit?i Et Ah Sir! it is not that. Th~e adc n ministration knows well that an ix t- -erease in postage .as proposed wou] be of 'little material advantage to th it fmnances; for it would put onftof hua s in'ess so many trades-journais, an r cheap papers, and so enhance the eos o Iof many magazines that altogethe ..millions of 'homes would be shorn E J literature formerly indulged in; cor -e sequently the postal revenue woul 1 be kept at its normal samor les n And the poor people-'Poor pe< I- pie?t' What of it so -long as thei can work for .the masters.
