Mass.. woolen mills flourish like a green bay tree. They could employ and pay the American laborer a fair living wage and still reap immense profits. What are the facts? I quote from the report of the congressional committee that recently investigated the outrageous conditions that exist there: There are 60.000 operatives In the Lawrence mills. and of that vast number 86.3 per cent are foreign born or American born of foreign parentage. less than 14 per cent American born. The congressional investigation covered 21.000 persons employed in the mills. Of this number 7.295 received less than $7 per week of 56 hours.
