OPERATION SADL Y NEEDED
United States Should Have Greater
Era of Prosperity Than Was Ever
Known Heretofore for the
Next Decade at Least.

pecially between employer and EN-
pIoyee,o said Professor Charles zueb
lin Of Boston, in one of the greatest
addresses ever delivered in the city,
which he delivered in the Assembly
hall of the Kenosha Chamber of Com
merce, Tuesday night.
The meeting addressed by Professor
Zueblin was held under the auspices OF
the United States Employment Bureau
and was well attended by select au-
dience who was interested in the sub
ject which had been assigned for the
evening.
Professor Zueblin Is main argument
was that new spirit has arisen in
American and its intent must be car
ried out differently from the old. The
United States needs greater coopera-
ton Of all her people and especially
between employer and employee than
has been the rule heretofore.
The speaker strongly advocated the
eight hour law and also urged that the
limit for child labor be raised to is
years. He stated that it had been
found by investigation that children
having a higher education had bet
ter earning capacity and earned more
money than those who had not had
sufficient schooling, even as common
laborers, to say nothing at all of skill
ed laborers.
He advocated very earnestly the es-
tablishment of recreation centers for
laboring people. He also stated that
the boys who are now over there must
find employment when they return and
that the next decade will be one of i'm
mense prosperity in the United States
owing to the newly learned lesson to
speed up and increase our manufacture
ing facilities and equipment and in
crease production as well as Transports
tion facilities.
Foreign nations must have our pro-
ducts. They have been handicapped
by four long years of war and are in
great need OF what the United States
can supply them and if all the people
of this country get together for united
action we can obtain the greater por-
tion of this foreign trade.
The speaker stated that in the en-
ployment of labor heretofore all over
the United States where employment
agencies were only interested in their
personal gains by obtaining employ
ment for labor and receiving compen-
sation 70 rthe same it was of interest
to these agencies to have the turnover
Of labor happen as often as possible,
because it meant dollars and cents to
them. The consequence was that
throughout the United States ire
|mendous amount Of labor turnover took
place amounting to as high as several
hundred percent year.
He called attention to the enormous
expense to industries caused by such
turnover, especially the high cost of
production. The United States La
Dor Bureau, the speaker stated, will
remedy this matter. It not only gives
employment free of charge but does
away with professional endeavors to
|have as much labor turnover as pos
lsible but also tends to make labor more
restful and with that not only indus
tries will be benefited but employees
also by doing away with the large ex-
lpense to themselves by shifting from
Iplace to place.
France saved the world by the first
battle of the Marne. Perhaps history
will record that America in the second
battle Of the Marine met crisis sec
ond only to the first If the world was
astounded by French virility, we must
be duly appreciate Of American speed
and efficiency. The answer to all cri-
tics, seditious or partisan, is that de-
Imocratic, pacific America achieved the
| impossible in putting million and a
half of soldiers overseas threatened by
German submarines ma year and a
half. The quality Of this deed is to be
followed by another equally amazing
I in its quantitative value.
It is high time that we should reeog-
nize that mobihzing three million men
for war means not only taking that
number OF electives from industry
but calling on the services Of five
million workers TO sustain the army
There hence, We had not only comb
non-essential industries for men, but
employ women and youth far more ex-
tensively than before It was discov.
cred that an army could not be gather
led for our unprecedented task by the
familiar American practice of letting
George do it. We have painfully
learned that his happy go-lucky
wasteful, individualistic method viii
not mobilize labor.
