umdition of the world'. workers it is not
so evident that labor haw been light-
ened. In olden time. when every-
thing war dune by hand many men
were employed to d1, the work : now
one of two things has happened a. u
rale : either the Rams uumler of
workers ham been retained, but the
amount of work required of them
greatly increased, or the amount of
work turned out has remained about
the same hut many of the workers
have been dismissed. Labor-saving
devices du not, therefore, make the
worker's task easier. Fur example,
some time ago a device was inttu-
duced into rotton-weaving factories
by which a loom was stopped in-
stantly by electricity, if s tbj,•.'ad
broke. Formerly s man could watch
seven or eight Moms and stop then
when the thread broke. Now with
the new electric stop, a weaver is re-
quired to watch twelve looms, and his
work is quite as hard as it was before.
I4.ng ago seamstretnes were paid
miserably enough, it is true, for their
hand•sewing. Today, with the aid of
a machine, they ('an accomplish sev-
eral times the aniount of work, hot
the remuneration has not increased
correspondingly, and in the big far-
t wises, or the sweat shops, a woman
moat sew as many hours as before to
eke out a miserable existence. Such
examples might he multiplied almost
indefinite' .
It would thus seem as if these
inventions had not leen a pleasing to
mankind, as if they had failed of
their proper effect. lint for how
much of this failure air mon then•
leaven to blame? With all theme de-
vices to lighten or expedite labor,
should not the worker have more
leisure to spend in pleasure or in self-
improvement ? in how many in-
stwncPs im this the rase? And why ?
Some may say, "I1 is on amount of
the greed of the capit.aliota." Geed
certainly ham a great deal to do with
it; 1,111. the capitalists have not a mon-
opoly of the greed in this world. in
many instances the employers of labor
have shared to some extent. the prnflt+.
of the machinery with their due), but
the men do not. say, "Give us just. the
same wages, hot shorten hours" No.
They want, more money that, they
may pMlream more comfort, 11)11re
11111111 even, in their home% - a laud-
able purpose surely, yet it certainly
prevents them from having the Iriaure
they would like. With the sewing -
machine in the home especially, it is
very largely the fault of the workers
that the machine has not lightened
the labor. Instead of doing the plain
sewing that. at one time wart all that
was considered really nereesary in the
