PAGE TWO — INDUSTRIAL PROBLEM LOOMS BIG BEFORE NEW GERMANY e ———————————————————————————————— ——————————— By Frank J. Taylor, (United Press correspondent.) Berlin, March 20. (By Mail.)— Germany’s workmen are not slipping automatically back into their former positions like so many round pegs into an equal number of prepared round holes. The old theory which used to travel the rounds of the En- tente newspapers that Germans were efficiently transforming war indus- tries into peace industries and lining up workmen for the jump-off at the world’s commerce as soon as the peace treaty is signed, is not work- ing out in practice. German inten- .ions may have been better. Interior troubles are largely hing- ing on labor. The thousands of workless men who cannot find jobs, and hundreds who do mot want to, after four years of army life, are ready sources of unrest. German’s .roubles with her workmen began be- ‘ore the armistice was signed, in the (days when Hindenburg's iron defense suddenly cracked everywhere, and each man made for home without walting to be demobilized. Labor ‘was thrown upon an unready market .n enormous quantities. For the most part, these millions found jobs, though in every large city there were literally multitudes of unemployed, either intentionally )r unintentionally. Many became .oldiers of fortune, either for or .gainst the government, and many continue in this calling. Food con- ditions, already bad, became much wvorge and prices soared. To prevent starvation in the streets, the pro- visional government allowed amoumts varying from eight to .fteen marks to men, depending on .he families they supported. This has become a still greater evil, Men who can draw twelve marks for not working at all, would .10t accept fifteen marks for work- ing. It takes a lot of good intentions jor the ordinary workingman to ac- cept a job digging snow off the Ber- «in gtreets for three marks addjtional a4 day, especially if he figures the Fatherland owes him a good long vacation, anyway, for the services he rendered at the front. In this con- aection it may be observed that women for the most part swept the snow off the Berlin streets this win- cer, just as they did in the past war winters. This workman'’s benefit has become a real danger for the government. It ;annot quit paying the money to the workless for fear of uprising of work- nen’s soviets. Once the government tried ‘and it had to give in under .hreats. Once the government tried to reduce expenses by adjusting the payment for volunteer guards, with he result that the government was -urrounded and had to continue the aigh pay. The government may be itronger now, though it still is ap- prehensive of adjusting the labor )roblems and of making men go to work. Workmen have learned the use of force and the government knows it. Like all countries, Germany is suffering under a movement to the hig cities, where there is less work, ess food and more trouble. Still the worklegs stay where the music is gay nd where dancing is the only thing ‘hat can be found in unlimited quan- rities. It is noticeable that in Ger- nany there is un extraordinary large yumber of young men among the workless. For the most part they sre unmarried and irresponsible. rhere seems to have been fewer marriages in Germany during ..e war than in any other land, with | the result that cities are flooded with' ockless dare-devil young characters, who have little aim in life as their ‘egacy from four years of trench life nd two more years of military serv. “ce@ in the kaiser's army. The land in Germany needs men, and the government already has glans for supplying those who want ound from the huge estates that lLiave been confiscated. Though there tood and prosperity among the farmers, the difficulty is in finding wen who will go to the land. A wreat movement is beinz organized ad a tremendous campaign is being cosuducted by mweans of poster and -augazine pronaeanda. Germans who wre familiar with the labor problem eel that this is a big step in the solu- tion of the workingman's situationm, .« he will go to the country. It will wcomplish the doubie purpose of eding the population and supplying work, It is posvible that the success of fhis movement will change Germany (uto an agricultural as well as an udustrial land. In the industrial centers, especial- iv the Rhineland, the problem is one i securing both business and sup- nijes for manufacture. Factories, turned suddenily into war produe- iion or huilt for that purposc, can- ot be turned hack to peaceful pur- uits in a mouth, as they were turned | o war. Especially is this true in view of the dilapidation of most in- wtries, It all hinges on the propo- | son paper rubles. Germans realize that their recovery from the tremendous debt the country faces depends upon the field of commerce they can get in Entente and neutral countries. They also realize that the German workman, who formerly was in- dustrious and reliable, has deterio- rated during the war—trench life has its effect. The future is not bright.

THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER SOON WILL BE OF THE PAST Georgia Wild Cows Seem to Have Served Their Purpose, and Are Fast Disappearing. The-piney woods cow, long a chum of the razorback hog, is fading from the Georgia landscape. It is a poign- ant thought, She [s one of the last links that binds Georgia to the past. Thousands of her roamed over the great plantations that would now be condemned as undemocratic. She was " usually red and white—a “pided” cow —inclined to have a poor fizure, hump- backed and somewhat knockkneed, and | her eyes were closely situated, in the manuner which psychologists shake their heads over, because it indicates the eriminal bent. But upon the piney woods cow Georgia In the old days d(-_p(‘ndell entirely for mils and but- ter. Many planters had hundreds of them, but they all ran wild, and one of the spring sports was to round them up and mark them. If a choice specimen should be captured, she was hard to feed, being unaccustomed to clvilized fodder, for piney woods cows eat grass in summer and souse their heads up to the eyee in ponds in the winter, looking for water grass and moss. They always have a forlorn air. Many of them still dwell on the Islands of Banks’ mill pond, which covers thousands of acres, and butch- ers of Valdosta hunt them with horses and dogs.—New York Post.

Poor France has 2,200 men whose eyes were blasted out of their heads while meeting mankind’s enemy in the Great War. The Unlted States has not compiled figures on the number of her blinded sons. While the number is far lower than in France, this country is doing everything that money and kindness can do to make the blind happy. They are being taught trades that will be self-supporting and they will not be turned loose until they can stand on their feet. Kducating the blind is a tedious 2nd a costly process.
