A SHORT CGNVHUSATION
"Yes, one hears so much about
socialism lately," said Hmily.
"Why, my husband is in it deep
over his head, lie spends every
free moment of his life t meetings
and leading, but he has no jxitieuce
to toll me about it. I have an idea
it must be a good thing, but I oft
en wonder what it really means."
Hmily was delivering thee words
to a young woman on whom she
was fitting a drewi. Hmily was not
a regular dressmuker, but occasion
ally did a little work for some
friends. Her friend, a school teach
er, smiled pleasantly at her and
said: "Let us talk it over. I am
very much interested in socialism
myself. Perhaps we can work it
out together.
"You are working on a sewing
machine, u real nice one too," she
continued. "I suppose you were
quite happy when you got it."
"Yes," interrupted Hmily, "we
had a hard time paving for it, but
I just couldn't get ulong without it.
I used to sew dresses for my little
ones by baud, and though I am
quite quick with a needle, I had to
sit often until late nt night to finish
the work, and my hands and back
would acne! As to going out, I quite excited, "excuse me, but one
never had a chance. I thtu told cnu see that you don't know much
Karl that with four little children about mill work. Karl curses the
one simply must have a sewing ma
chine. Now I can get dresses for
the little ones ready in no time, and
then I take iu this little work from
my friuuds, which is finite a help to
us."
"So the machine is doing good
service for you? It relieves and
shortens your work?" asked her
friend.
"Why, certainly," said Hmily,
surprised. "Who would deny
that? A machine iu the house is a
great thing, it is indispensable. I
only wish I could get a washing
machine and one of those vacuum
carpet cleaners they talk so much
about."
"Where is your husband work
ing?" interrupted the teacher.
"Don't you know that he works
iu the mills? and a mighty skilled
worker he is, too," added
not without pride.
"I remember it now, oud there
are some beautiful, large and paw
ei fill machines there. I suppose
your husband finds just as much
satisfaction in those machines us
you do iu your sewing machine.
1 hese machines must shorten his
work and relieve him quite a lot?"
Why," said Hmily, getting
Hmily,
machines every time they bring iu
a new one. He says every one of
these bright, shining things makes
life harder for him and for his shop
fellows."
"How is that?" asked the teacher,1
innocently.
"How is that?" repeated Hmily,
"Why, n new machine sccds up
the work and one has to woik
quicker and often much harder, for.
it demands more attention. Then
lots of fellows lose their jobs, be-
cause less men are needed or at
least the orders ate filled quicker
and there is more slack."
Hmily knew the conditions of
her husband's work quite well. She
remembered also only too well the
closing up of the mills for two long
mouths, when only her own work
bellied to keep the wolf from the!
door.
"I see," said the school teacher,
"but why is that difference? Your
machine at home saves time and
makes life easier; it is a blessing to
you, and the machines iu the mill
seem to make life harder, seem to
act as a curse upon the worker's
life?"
"Oh, but the sewing machine be
longs to me," interrupted Hmily
"Yes, and the machines iu the
mill belong to the mill-owner," od
ded the teacher, quickly. He seems
to no pretty well, doesn't lief
The teacher paused and then con
tinued, with emphasis: "It seems
then that the machine gives satis
faction and joy and happiness to
llie one to whom it belongs,"
limily nodded her head in
appreciation,
If the machine in the mill be
longed to your husband -to the
mill worker he could eniov it just
as you do your sewing machine, for
lie would use the saving of tune,
which every machine brineis about. '
lor his own benefit, and not for the
benefit of the boss."
"Hut the large machines are too
expensive, we twor folks could not
buy them," interrupted Hmily. j
"it is true, the machines in the1
mills are too large and expensive!
to belong to one worker, but one ,
can get out ot the dtfttculty by j
matting mem me property ot the,
mill workers together, through
their agent, the government. The'
tools of work must not be separated j
from the workers, they must belong !
to them," replied the teacher. )
"Why, that is so," said Hmilv.
"I always felt it, but it never was
so clear to me."
"You was a socialist without
knowing it," said the teacher.
laughing. "All tools of labor, or
else all means of production and
distribution, should beloug to all
the workers together. That is
socialism iu a nutshell."
