SUPT. WIM READS IMPORTANT PAPER ON HEALTH OE OPERATIVES. a regular i.-ting of tho Southern Textile asscolutlon of North and South Carolina was held I aal Wednesday al Raleigh. Tho mooting was utlended by Suporintoudenl T. II. Wnlluco of Watts mills, who made a talk on the subject <>f "Double Carding". Accord ing to tho reports of the convention, one of the most important papers read before this body was by Snpt. A. K. WlnsloW of the Clinton cotton inlllM, bis subject being "The Care ol Operatives' Health '. A synopsis of the address follows: That the health of child laborers and, ill ftlCt, all employee:; of the cot ton mills of the south has been defi nitely Improved througn the safe guards thrown around I hem by the mill owners was maintained by A S Wlnslow, superintendent of cotton mills In Clinton. S. C? in an address before the Southern Textile associa tion her?' today. In view of the wide spread Interest taken in the labor problem in southern factories, ami especially cotton mills, the address was of more than local importance. Mr. WlnslOW's position was that the health ami initials of the employees were greatly bettered through their employment in the mills. He contend ed that the liist thought of the mill owners was the safeguarding of the health and well heim; of their work ers. This. Mr Winslow frankly ac knowledged, was not prompted solely by philanthropy. lie acknowledged that the good health of the employees was of the greatest importance to the owner of the mill Coed Health Vu Vssot. "Good health among the operatives is an asset ut value t<> the manufac turer", be said. "It means more and better work. The knowledge of this fact explains the increasing oversight of the operative, both in ami out of the mill. His physical, moral ami spirit ual health are being considered so carefully today that the old-time pre judice against employment in the mill is fast fading troin the public mind. The cotton mill as a place has out lived the spirit of prejudice so mani fest in other days", in support of his defense of the cotton mill as a place of employment for Juveniles Mr. Winslow (|noted from a letter written by Or. C \V. Stiles, ol the United States public health and marine hospital service, and addressed to him last June. In this letter Dr. Stiles defends the employment Of chil dren in the mills, holding such em ployment Infinitely better than exist ence in the unsanitary dwelling of the people in the sand lands ami the Ap. palachian regions of the south, (/notes Or. Stiles. Mr. Winslow tpioted Or. Stiles as saying that he would much rather place his 10 year-old daughter in the spinning room of a cotton mill than send her to tho unsanitary surround Inga to be found on the average tenant farm in those sections. Mr. Winslow proceeded to quote the testimony <>f a physician who is en gaged in making a careful study <h . sanitary conditions in the south. This physcllan, lie declared, staled that Or Stiles had not gone far enough ami that he should not have confined bis strictures to the tenant farms. The homes of many of the planters, Mr. Winslow Bald the physician declared, were not above severe criticism from a sanitary point of view. "Tho fact is. and we have a right tobe proud of It", continued Mr. Wins low, "that the cotton mills of the south are better suited to the opera tives than many places where the world has been taught to look lor health. Tho mills may not he per feet, for human as well as local lim itations will not permit us to attain unto perfection, but wo may boldly proclaim that the mills are safe places of occupation from a health point of view, and that the null olllcittls are Interested in and Intoni upon tho maintenance of BOUfld health among the operatives. And wo are not only justified in claiming this, but we may safely challenge the world to disprove f>ur statements". Mr. Winslow credited the great ad vantage in the health conditions of southern workers to the tact that new factories are now constructed and obi ones remodeled with the physical won fare of tho workers in view. This fact, together with the personal In terest taken by ownors in their em ployees' health, he said. has winked wonders among the Operatives, To mend china: Dissolve half an ounce of gum arable in three table? spoonfuls of boiling water and add enough plaster of Paris to make a thick paste. Then moisten the sur face of the broken pieces with a Cam* el's-halr brush and apply a thin coat ing of the cement. I'rcss the edges tightly together and bind with a cord. When dry remove the cord and clean the crack with a ( loth dipped in warm water. i.and sali; The Stillt- of Soil (Ii Carolina, Coin))) ol' I.UUt'CIIS. I \ ('Ol'KT OF COM MOS I'l l; VS. NATION'AI.
