In times Of prosperity the unions collect
from their members certain dues which

From this fund. in times Of unemploy-

their unemployed members.
However at periods Of a severe crisis
the funds OF the unions are easily over

BY a municipal allowance the unions are
put in the position to increase their UNI

FACTORIES NECESSARY TO IN.
CREASE POPULATION.

Americas now has a knitting mill
proposition. 1t looks like a first class
opportunity to secure a profitable and
large labor-employing industry
Whether we will take advantage of
it it is not possible to say. It de-
ponds. of course, on the action of few
leading citizens, on the moneyed men
of the city.
All over the South today enterpris-
ing cities are reaching out for more
industries. SLey realize that they
cannot continue to thrive and to grow
if they are to remain entirely depen-
dent on trade coming from the agri-
cultural section about them. Even tia
port cities find that if they are to con-
tinue to develop they must have some
thing more than commerce to grow
upon. Manufacturing establishments
are a vital necessity to them if they
are not to be numbered among the
towns that are standing still. Sa-
vannah appreciates this. One of the
best editorials we have recently seen
is one in the Morning News of that
city dealing with this very question.
It so appropriately fits the situation in
Americas that we give a portion of it
below. Its argument is unanswera-
BILE. As the News says, the majority
of a city's population are wage-earn-
ers. If we are to increase the popu>
lation, we must increase the oppor-
tunities for wage-earners to secure a
livelihood. The News says:
What We mean to say is that if the
population of a city is to increase
rapidly there must be provided addi-
tional means for earning a living. We
cannot expect people to come here to
make their homes unless they see a
chance of lettering their financial con-
! dition. Of course we have no refer
ence to those who have independent
incomes and who desire to live in q
beaut; full city which has one of the
| finest climates in the world. The
| great majority of the people who make
up the populations of cities are toll
ers. They have to earn their living
If we get additional factories here
the to.lers will come and business and
professional men will l follow them
The doctor, the dentist, the lawyer
the real estate agent, the mechanic
and the business man go only where
there is an inviting field-where there
is an opening for them to make money
Therefore in our work of upbuild-
ing the city We must give special at
tention to those things which provide
employment. Our commerce and fac
tories do this, and hence we must put
forth every effort to increase the vol
ume Of our commerce and the num-
Der Of our industries.
Some of our citizens seem to think
shat this s matter of no interest
TO trem whether factories are estab-
liShed here or not. If they are bust
ness men they are certain to find
ont Their mistake, because their bus.
mess will dwindle unless there is &
! ateady growth in the C ty. and if they
| ara property owners they will find
fheir honses decreasing in value and
difficult o let at any price.
