GOOD PAY FOR WORK The impression seems to prevail In some quarters, tliat people are uaable to secure employment In Washington, and they are cooRpelled to seek other towns for work In the factories. The Dally News wishes to correct this much-talked-of opinion, and. In doing so. desires to emphasise the fact that they can secure work right hero in Washington, and., too. at the different factories. Right today the M. A.? Smith shirt factory has at least SO machlnee lying Idle for want of per sons. women, to operate them. This establishment is anxious for addition al help and the management has used erery. fair means to secure it, but so far the efforts have met erith failure. It was the pleasure of. the Dally News representative to visit the M, A. Smith shirt ffcctory some days back, and, It can be stated with safe ty. the visit was a revelation. There *r as efhlblted on alt sides thrift and push, -and to go through this model plant was a pleasure not often afford ed. The skirt, factory Is situated. 09 N. Market street, being located In a two story building 100x60 feet All the machinery is run with gas. Tho fac tory also affords Iter own private elec tric light plant. During thtf seven years this shirt factory has been in operation there hma been paid; out to the Operatives dfftne ifiore 9100.000. A large per cent, of this has remained right here in Washing ton ? the merchants and other busi nessmen being the beneficiaries. Not only has this enterprise -been a- great benpflt to the working class of peo ple, but one can readily see. It has played no small part toward aiding in- building up the business Interests of city. I Such facts being true, and they cannot be contradicted, should not pur people rally around an Industry of .this character and see to It that It goes -forward and does not become stagnant? Here is an industry ac tually begging for people to operate Us machines, and then, folk stand on the street corners and cry, "I am un able to secure employment Work knocks at their door and the only thing remaining Is for them to fcvall themselves of the opportunity. The trouble abont factories if Washington, we need them and need them bad, is, when one Is started here, so far as encouragement is con cerned. coming from a class that would do it good. It Is sadly neglect ed. Why is this? Washington can never hope to thrive as it should nn tH euch a courA*i? 4one away with. The M. A. Smith Sfcirt Factory has a eaptclty for the ^manufacture of 400 dosen shirts per day. The milf Ib now employing between 85 and 76 women and girls. It takes 14 girls to handle one garment before It Is ready for shipment to Northern mar kets. After the product Is completed It la sent direct to New York and Other cities, . Mr. Smith has a six month's contract with a large concern In the EmplFe city that takes" all the ?hlrts he can make and more too, if; he could get them. The trouble is, the mill is serloi?*ly handicapped* due to the failure ?to secure, adequate help. J While visiting 'the factory the pa par man had occasion to copvorse With quite a number of the lady op erators; They all Becmed to be thor oughly enthused In their work. When asked to how much they could raike In a day, aomo replied, "I can eani fl.00 per day when I work only from 9 to. 6 o'clock." A good many earn even more. Another stated that any girl from 15 years up, could eas ily make from 75c to $1.00 per day. One old lady, whose hair was silvered by the snows of many years, told us I Ahe easily earned from 75c to 85c and could make more if she worked harder. The above -expressions are the sentimehts of all that work in this shirt factory. All are making a good living; the work is not labor ious; the surroundings and environ ments are pleasant and agreeable and they are earning much- more than a great many ef oar people won Id im TO INSPECT WATERWAYS ?? ?Hjt STATE Due to Sen. Simmons A Committee to Visit North Car. olina ?The Senior Senator to Be Member of the Visiting Com mittee. (WILL START JANUARY 21 Washington, D. C.. Jan. 13.-? Sen _alor Simmons Is not to be outdone by the army engineer at Savannah who threw a damper on the favorable 're port fpp a thirty-foot harbor at Capo Lookout, He decided today that It would be best to have passed at once a concurrent resolution calling for a supplemental report as to the rela tive importance and value of other North. Carolina harbors for a harbor of refuge. , The senior Tar Heel Senator intro duced a concurrent resolution early this morning and in twenty minutes had passed it through the Senate. He Immediately placed it in the hands of Chairman Alexander, of the House River and Harbor committee, who will at once, if possible, secure action by the House. Reports which will fully meet the idle objection* raised by the Savannah engineer can be made in time for action by this Con gress. Senator Simmons means to fight to the limit for the $3,500,000 appropriation for a thirty-five foot harbor at Cape Lookout. The National Waterways Commis sion has decided to send a committee to North Carolina to investigate the report upon its waterways system. This action was taken at the instance of Senator Simmons, who is a mem ber o'f the commission. In addition, to him there be In the party Son-H ator Clark, of Arkansas; Congress man Stevens, of Minnesota; Wagner, | of Pennsylvania, and Sparkman. of I Florida, or Moon, of 'Tennessee, Sen ator Burton, of Ohio, and Represen tative Alexander, of New York, the chairman of the two rivers and har bors committee will probably loin the committee at Wilmington, but" will not be able to make the trip to Nor folk and through the sounds of North Carolina. The Inland waterways and the : canalisation of the Cape Fear are the two projects to be Investigated. It is expected that' the examination by the! committee will have a material influ ence on the North Carolina appropria tion In the present river and harbor as well as *ln future bills. While the National Waterways Cdmmlesion made a thorough' exami nation last summer of the waterways of Europe, on account of time, it has only up to this time examined the Mississippi and some of its tributa ries, and the examination of the North Carolina waterways, to be un dertaken. will probably be the only* examination the commission will make until next summer. . Under the circumstances the selection of a spe cial committee to Visit North Caro lina Is a very great compliment to Senator Simmons. The present plan Is for the com mittee to leave here on the night of the list, reaching Norfolk by boat Saturday morning. There a govern ment boat will be awaiting them. The committee will- Bpend Saturday moaning passing through and inspect ing, the Albemarle and Chosipeako canal which it ia. probable will purchased by the government, spend ing the night at Elisabeth City. They ?U1 .spend the next day passing through the sounds from Elisabeth i Citfr* to New Bern, -arriving In New Befa Saturday evening. ? They will spend Sunday at Beaufort, Morehead City and New Bern, leaving so as to reach Wilmington by way of Golds boro Monday morning at 9:30. They will examine the Cape Fear being in Wilmington on Monday, going to Fay ett^vllle ^iesday morning and from there examining during Tuesday the upper Cape Fear. 8?cure work in Washington. They can.
