The experience in public work
which thousands of men, women, boys
and girls are now for the first time
getting should mean much to this
country in the future. Thousands of
people who never had done anything
useful for their city, state or nation

ious fields incident to war. These
workers have learned several things.

which comes with service and have
gained confidence in their own abil-
tiles. Many of the narrow and self
centered prejudices and viewpoints
have been changed.

will naturally make inquiry about the
raise, and we would like to be able to
give the information from an official
source. viii there be source of in
formation? In the past we have been
able to obtain facts about Wisconsin
common carriers from the state rail
road commission. Probably this gov
eminent order is beyond their COM
prehension.
