Making the Loafers Work

Between the two extremes of obtaining in
creased production to help win the war lines a
medium which may obviate on the one hand the
suppressing of non-essential industries and on
the other the conscription of labor. This golden
means is the elimination of ideness.
If every able-bodied man and boy in the Unit
ed States were forced to work, it is believed that
the increased production which is necessary
would be obtained. Babson, in a current report,
says:
"We are convinced that it is this idleness and
indifference which have caused the demand for
conscripton of labor. Moreover, the common
talk about the suppression Of non-essentials
could certainly be postponed for at least another
year if idleness could be eliminated and every
one would do full days work for a full days
pay"
Babson's theory may be applied with fruitful

results in our city. Although there is a heavy
demand for workers here, there isn't an hour Of.
the day that boys, more than sixteen years old,
cannot be seen idling away time on the street
corners or indulging In play. Scores of men in
Richmond cannot be classed exactly as loafers
but still they exc out precarious existence doing
odd jobs when they might be productive agents
if they would accept employment for full day
at full days pay. They prefer working few
hours day to give them enough money to buy
few meals, and shirk full time employment
The city has leafer's ordinance. This law
would be infinitely more efficient if it provided
that every male between eighteen and forty-five
years of age should carry card showing that he
had worked from forty-eight to fifty-four hours
a week, and if it gave no exemption to any class,
but forced rich and poor to prove that they were
workers.
The round up of idlers could then go ahead
with the assurance that man could not evade
its penalty by claiming that he worked, even If
this means only few hours day. The police
would have some real tangible evidence when
they brought culprit before the city judge.
Only full time production will solve the prob
lem. So long as idlers can sidestep their patri-
otic duty by working only enough hours to buy
their daily meals and pay their room rent. little
headway will be made.

The Red Cross Drive

The greatest tribute paid to the Red Cross
came from President Wilson, commander-in-
chief of the American army and navy, when he
marched on foot at the head Of the parade which
ushered in New York Gty's campaign to raise
it's allotment.
In his speech in that city he set forth the
motive that should actuate us in the supporting
of the Red Cross.
My friends, great day of duty has come,
and duty finds mans soul as no kind of work
can ever find it." he said.
May say this? The duty that faces us
all now IL to serve one another, and no man can
afford to make fortune out of this war. There
are men amongst us who have forgotten that, if
they ever saw it. Some of you are old enough
am old enough-to remember men who made
fortunes out Of the civil war, and you know how
they were regarded by their fellow-citizens. That
was war to save one country; this is war to
save the world.
"And your relation to the Red Cross is one of
the relations which will relieve you OF the stigma
You can't give anything to the government of
the United States: It won't accept it. There is
a law of congress against accepting even services
without pay. The only thing that the govern
ment will accept is a loan. and duties performed; (;
but it is great deal better to give than to lend
or to pay and your great channel for giving is the
American Red Cross.
Down in your hearts you can't take very
much satisfaction. in the last analysis, in lending
money to the government Of the United States,
because the interest which you draw will burn
your pockets; it is a commercial transaction, and
some men have even dared to cavil at the rate of
interest not knowing the incidental commentary
that constitutes upon their attitude.
But when you give, something of your
heart, something of your soul, something of
yourself goes with the gift, particularly when it
is given in such form that it never can come back
by way of direct benefit to yourself. You know
there is the old cynical definition of gratitude as
the lively expectation of favors to come
'Well there is no expectation of favors to
come in this kind of giving. These things are
bestowed in order that the world may be a better
place to live in, that men may be succored, that
suffering may be relieved; that the face of the
earth may have the blight of destruction taken
away from it and that wherever force goes, there
shall go mercy and helpfulness."
