UNREST IN ENGLAND
Duke Of Marlborough Blames
0earth Of Cottages for Evil.
Absence Of Homes for HumbIest
Glasses Of Rural Workers 10 De-
popuIatlns the country-"Week
Enders" 10 Chief Cause.

London. When the duke OF MARI
borough, in his recent articles in the
Daily Mail on Industrial Unrest in
England, traced the source of the
trouble back to the dearth of cottages
Tor country laborers, 1t seemed rather
Ianciful. but since his articles were
printed, no small amount of evidence
mas appeared to back up his theory.
one of the most interesting contri-
buttons to the discussion comes from
"A Country Parson." who says that the
dearth of homes for the humblest
classes or rural workers is a CRYING
evil According to him, 1t is depopu-
lating the country.
marriages among the young people
are at a discount, he says. Twenty
years ago, In his parish, the registers
snow there was a yearly average of
SIX marriages of agricultural laborers
puring the last eight years this aver
age mas been reduced to one. Assur-
ediy this statement backs up the duke
OF Marlborough.
The young men In the country have
no inducements to marry there and no
homes to settle down in. They flock
70 the cities, they crowd out the city
porn OF weaker physique, they lower
the standard of wages by glutting the
labor market. Then come poverty,
strike. paralysis of business, general
All-'round disaster.
But why should there be a dearth
OF rural cottages Why does not the
law OF supply and demand operate to
end 1t In short order? One reason
seems to be that all sorts of outsid-
ers are competing with the agricultur-
II laborer in the way of cottage that
may exist or be built In rural regions.
Behind this is the fundamental
sause, the fact that the agricultural
laborer is SO badly paid or paid in
such an impractical way that he is not
able to pay anything like a decent
rent for home-anythlng like the
rent which will return even the
smallest interest on the builders in
vestment. -..1-.-
Illustrating the competition with the
iaborer for the rural cottage, the
case of the week ender is cited. The
