THE TRAMP IN WAR TIME. 4
New York Commercially Z
++++++++++++++++* :

A lusty young tramp came out OF
house in Greenwich Village with a
neat little package in his hand. Turn
ing the corner, he opened it, exam
ined the contents and threw it on the
top of garbage can. 1t contained
good, tasty-looking food which some
charitable woman had wasted on HIM
Then the tramp went from door to
door till he collected enough money
to make him welcome in waterfront
saloon. Such fellows are more than
a burden, they are menace to un-
protected women and children. They
"work" houses in the middle of
blocks, out of sight and hearing of
policemen, and they have reduced
"panhandling' to scientific system
Along the waterfront any able bod
led man, not an alien enemy, can get
work at high wages. The United
States navy is calling for thousands
of firemen and other classes of labor.
Navy firemen work four hours on and
eight hours off day, which is eight
hours day divided into two. watches,
and they are well paid, fed, clothed
and sheltered.
No austy beggar should be allow
ed to roam the streets when work is
so plentiful and well paid. Addicts
to drink otherwise fit for work can
get jobs on ships or in the navy where
they will be removed from temptation
and can make men of themselves.
Our courts and police have never han
died vagrancy in a consistent way.
In these days when people are called
upon to eat less wheat bread. meat,
sugar, etc., the waste of voluntary
idleness in the form of the tramp and
the professional panhandler should
be eliminated. Every man who does
not work is burden on the commu-
nifty in which he lives and his coun-
try needs him now, if not in the army
or navy, then in some productive ca
pacity.
Governor Whitman's census of all
persons between sixteen and fifty
years of age was taken months ago
and must be in shape. Cannot the
information it contains be put to good
use? Thousands of loafers now liv-
ing on their wives, relatives, and
friends should be doing their bit in
productive fields. We are short of
food, ships and supplies for ourselves
and our Allies. not because we lack
raw materials. tillable land and other
natural resources, but because suf-
flcient labor cannot be. obtained,
though wages are the highest ever
known. There are enough men if
all of them would work. Work would
help them morally and physically,
and would help to shorten this war.
