Of municipal care as to hygiene, one
result being that rents compared with

In no city in Europe did I find
rents any cheaper, wages considered,

WHERE ARE WAGES BEST
Continued from Page Fourteen.)

ditions exist in a few American cities,
such as New York, Pittsburg and Chi
cago, representing neither European
nor American standards but what are
created through the transition of the
most helpless of our newly arrived
immigrants from a state perhaps more
miserable than that in which they
lived in their ~deprivations, to a level
equal to the financially lowest perma-
nent among the American born or cit
izen. Looking at the housing prob
lem widely, the greatest fact in ia
VOr OF America is space. The work
ingnan in the country towns and in
the cities smaller than those in which
the foreign population is immeasur-
ably cOngested can rent or perhaps
buy a separate home. In general,
Europe does not give the opportun-
ity. lNor example, Bremen is the only
considerable city in Germany which
has small single family houses adapt
ed to the needs of working people.
Only the tenement house, except in
rare cases, is to be found in other
cities. The Wage-earner in them is
regarded as permanently a rent payer,
an animal in a stall in a five, six, or
seven-story stable. No, not one ami
NAL in one stall; not so good as hat
whole families or a herd Of dodgers
live in one Of the stalls. The doubling
up Of families Of relatives, the keep
ing Of dodgers, the hiring Of a small
apartment by several young persons,
such devices for distributing among
many persons the burdens Of rent must
be general in cities where apartments
are made the landlords investment
and few small homes are built to sell
the nan with a small purse. The bar
rack-like houses Of the German cities
are planned SO as to accommodate
people in comparatively easy circum-
stances in the desirable apartments
Of the front, up to the fourth story,
while the basement and the small rear
