don't want state intervention.

The recommend the English method.

Limit production costs to

enable competition.

Lower the wages?

That's impossible.

It's not, I pay them 1.60 franc

for 14 hours work.

Cumont pays 2 franc for 11 hours.

And he's still complaining,

he's going to go down.

If we all draw the line, they

even will accept 1.40 franc.

While a loaf of bread costs 60 centimes

and a bag of coal 1,50?

Pay them with potatoes.

Why not?

The money goes to booze anyway.

They won't survive...

They also won't survive

if the factories closes

Poverty is not the problem.

-I agree with that.

But to me it's dangerous

to lower the wages now.

People are already upset.

We could implement the Scottish system.

Three workers to four machines.

And if we only let the women work

we safe half.

You can't mean that?

It's an interesting idea.

-The Scots still do it as well.

Three female worker to four machines.

Are there not enough accidents

already?

How many fatal accidents have you got?

And you, Antoine? And you lot?

Safe us your demagogy.

In every war there will be casualties.

You are monsters. The lot of you.

We liberals stand up for our workers

who live in total poverty.

No aid from you and Aalst loses

its industry and you your constituents.

I'm sorry to interrupt,

Mr. Woeste and you gentlemen...

...but now it's time

to relax.

What a charming thought.

-Don't hide, Junior.

Say hello to Mr. Woeste.

Hello, Junior.

Work hard and you be as big and

important as your dad.

Who is teaching you?

We are looking, They have recommend

Father Daens to us.

The brother of that printer.

Let's hope he thinks differently.

It doesn't say a-e, but e, consul-e

The root always stays the same.

Carry on.

Again, carry on.

-Latin bores me, Father.

Don't recite it like a parrot,

without knowing what you say.

What is written there?

-Consul.

Do you know what that is

-No.

Only women and children. Go away.

Let those children pass.

Out, Scholliers, no work for you.

-Because you say so?

Too old. Try to work in Germany

Let my dad in.

What's your name?

-Nette.

Take his place at the spinner.

-I work in the laundry

Shut up!

Here.

Don't work on bare feet.

No work, Andre!

Scottish system, you're off.

I'm going to work.

Or do your machines work alone?

You cost too much.

-Too much?

Must we pay to work here now,

according to your Scottish system?

I don't speak Flemish,

but I know what you write.

I received countless letters.

I cite :
-

Daily children die

at the gates of the factories.

If I didn't know better...

...I would think this is written

by a socialist.

But it's true.

Too many children die.
