There are two great movements, almost so closely related as to be one, either or both of which threaten this country. One is economic; the other The first led re- trenchment; the second Bolshevism. To the extent that the spending of money for materials or waging war 1s concerned, now that it is won, the move for economy directed. But in carrying this project to the intended limit we would at the same time be destroying some of the great soclal betterments, the possihi-“ lities of which the war has brought to us. And by taking away privileges i rights and benefits which mankind has gained through bloodshed we may | unwittingly perhaps, be producing an excuse for Bolshevism. One rarely hears of workmen re- ceiving “a f: y's wage for a fair day's work,” who have the means to provide for their families in the way of homes, clothes, food, education and recreation, leaning to Bolshevism or the doctrine of excesses which gains lts title from that word. A contented workman who receives even approximately a fair return on | his labor strives for bettering the whole social condition rather than stroying one social structure in order to set up another. A man holds his home sacred above all things.. Take his home aw: or the right to create a home—and you will produce wanderers living under conditions not fit for animals; such conditions we have witnessed in { our own northwest. The result is new members for the I. W. \V-—in(‘i- pient Bolshevists. The war provided the greatest 1m~ \ petus to the movement for decent | homes for employes. Under govern- | mental auspices and direction, and with government money, plants en- gaged i» war work undertook to create villages designed along model | lines to house their workmen, and | B0 reduce shifting of labor from place | to place and cut down the cost of | labor turn-over. | Our Thousing social. is c continued s well schems developed | during the war was not perfect; it was adapted to the occasion. Per- haps many of the newly created vil- lages will soon be only a memory | But to ignore our housing needs in our future calculations will be no less than a calamity. It is said that certain turers believe labor will soon be so plentiful that it will occasion no trouble at all to get men for jobs of all sorts at whatever wage is offered, and without the present considera- tion of housing accommodations. If this belief represents any consider- able or important element of employ- ers, it mreans that one of the manufact- has not penetrated their conscious- ness. The consensus of opinion of the delegates to the convention held at vention bringing together the important industries of the country not over-plentiful, excepting tempo- rarily in the districts where war work was being done. tion would be relieved diately by the surplus their vocations in their tles. Employers who, with self thoughts only, expect to thus take : advantage of possible over of labor, are short visioned | harmful to the successful olution of the future social state. We must take c returning home loc: to a of housing our them. It is our duty to raise the stan- dards of llving. If there are class distinctions in this country, the best way to obliterate them iz to co- operate with the workers, the great | producing class, to assist them In bo- coming even more useful to them- | selves and to the country by evincing | an understanding of their hopes, de- sires and aspirations. That will re- quire, first of all, sympathetic co- | operation, and second, a compre- hensive plan of education. The most important step in the matter of edu- | cation begins with the homae.

Peace industry requir the proper housing of workmen as did war industry. preent there is-apparently no comprehensive scheme backed by our government to assist and cooperate with industrial manufacturers and other agencies to begin new peace- time housing developments. It would scem that such a scheme is necessary and would require not only gover: mental aid in financing but gover mental direction and supervision. In his peace-time plan, Lloyd George of England has included the problem of housing and has given it initial importance. One of the reasons for this is that BEng- land recognizes and expects to meet the grave employment situation. Yet Lloyd George is only following out a &pecific recommendation adopted in 1916 by the Joint Committee on Labor Problems After the War, which calls for the ercction of “I.- 000,000 new dwellings,” and states “the 1,000,000 new dwellings” should bé begun the day after peacs is clared, but should be proceeded month by month, strictly in corres- pondence with the supply of building trades workmen so as to leave prac- tically none of them at any time un- employed. Some recognized body, and prefer- ably the government, should take im- mediate action on the problem of in- dustrial housing in this country. The two urgent reasons are, first, the necessity of raising the standard of living of the workmen and providing a decent place for them to Ive in and raise a family; second, the necessity of affording employment to the mechanics from the demobilized army and from munitions plans. The solution of this problem will do more to counteract social unrest and the threat of Bolshevism than anything else. Dudley T.
