this surplus of labor. Even though it
doesn't want to take the burden of
caring for them, it is poor policy to let
them die, for you know they will be
needed next spring and summer and
fall. Out in Kansas and Nebraska
and Iowa the federal government was
glad to get these men to keep the
crops from rotting, and in every cor
ner they want them on the railroads
and in the ice fields. Only the sur
plus of labor will take that work, but
the surplus isneeded. What are you
going to do with them?"
For moment there was silence
again, then Mrs. Rowe glowed once
more. well, don't you see we are
making arrangements to take care
of them? If they are willing to work
they will be given shelter and food
in the municipal lodging house."
If they are willing to work, if per-
haps one thousand out of hundred
thousand will give the city labor that
at a scab estimate is worth not less
than Is cents, Chicago will take care
of a thousand with board and lodging
not worth more than half that
amount. That is a wonderful solu-
ton to be given by the bureau of pub
lie welfare, created with a large ap-
preparation that it might investigate
the cause of poverty and remove it.
But l think my own suggestion a
better one. If any one has a recipe
they can give to the city of Chicago
by which she can put in some cheap
brine-it must be very cheap and not
a laborious process the migratory
workers so that they will keep with
out further expense or care through
the winter and be ready to answer
the cry of the railroad magnates for
men to build railroads in the spring
and of the farmers from their wheat
fields that crops may not rot, please
send it to the bureau of public well
