THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1937. ever acquiring a bit of property for a home is not conducive to contentment. There is labor unrest today, as Mr. Volk pointed i out, but it will be noted that such trouble breaks out day by the EMPIRE in the larger industrial centers where the very small Main Streets, Juneau, minority own their own homes. Rarely are theve dis- turbances in the smaller places where the bulk of the citizens own their homes or have prospects for owning them There is more than passing significance in the statement that a city of home-owners is not likely to be a city of sit-down strikers. Human nature is not so constituted that we do foolhardy things which jeopardize our homes and cur families. Sit-down strikes are the result of unhappy conditions.

It is the first international get-together in this country since the United States joined the I L. O. in 1934. A world agreement to a for'y’-hour textile week, if lived up to, would go far toward stabilizing one of the most chaotic industries that the machine age has brought to the nations. Outside of America, only France, Belgium and Italy are on the forty-hour tex- tile week, while other countries work their mills forty-two to forty-eight hours and in the Orient fifty to sixty hours. Hence, a better world standard would benefit us, for the reason that low wages and long hours in competing countries have all but wiped out our foreign trade in textile Modern industry each year goes more and more on a world basis, Tariffs. trade agreements and other political expedients help the higher-standard countries for a while, but eventually and essentially the cheap labor countries get the business. No in- dustrial country can long remain isolated from the world and prosper. It is good news that Floyd Volk of the Columbia Lumber Company brings to Juneau in his talk before the Chamber of Commerce yesterday that bDimber mills are near capacity in the Pacific Northwest and are so swampecd with orders that they operating at are far behind in production. The great demand for lumber is attributed in major degree to the building boom that is in evidence all ‘over the country. In a small way we see it here in Juneau where another season of building activity is under way In Seattle, Mr. Volk reports, there is more building than that city has enjoyed in ten years. The condition appears 10 be universal through- ont the country and the lumber man predicts at least another prosperous times in the in- dustry. While natural forces of recovery play the marked upturn -toward building, there to be no doubt that the Federal Housing Administra- tion program is directly responsible for a large share of the activity. It has revived again interest in home- owning through its long-term mortgage loans and i:wthios for starting the home-owner on his way in “What you want above all things on a raft.” the first instance toward acquiring a place. remarked Huckleberry Finn, “is for everybody to be And in this connection, Mr. Volk brought out an'gyicried and feel right and kind toward the others.” interesting point: A city of home owners is not likely | And the modern world is a raft on which the toc be a city of sit-downers, he said. p or down stream or sinks together.

Home owning does just that. It satis- RS fies that desire in each of us to own something. We are by natural heritage a nation of home owners. In the early days of the nation virtually every man built his own home and lived in it. In later population increased and the trek started toward the industrial centers, lop-sided financing made home- owning an impossibility for thousands.
