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." "Qh, you naughty girl you were Concluded on secoud page.
