Because the case of the state

 Duskofski and they drank with an

I Duskofski was also missing. Hintz \ testified that he looked up Duskof- ski and accused him of the theft and N Sbargained with him to return at least
 half of it. Duskofski denied the theft and threatened to assault the farmer. e Duskofski was spending money, al Athough the day before he did not s have any money. Tn his own defense
 Duskofski said there was about IS < people sleeping in the lot that night. He declared he did not take the money and said that the third man

Delay in the new contract between the Government and railroads was another cautionary influence. It is believed that a contract dealing fairly with in yestors will ultimately be reached; for the Administration has been fair and liberal in nearly all it's arrangements with capital; and there is no reason to assume that it will be otherwise in the case of the railroads
 That several of the large railroad systems should postpone action upon dividends, not earned in the last quar- ter, is evidence of prudence rather than distrust. Tn this connection, it is worth noting that the British rail roads, which like our own were taken over from their owners by the govern ment, are reporting good earnings and increasing their dividends; the Mid land, Great Eastern and other com panies, having increased their pay ments. Our industrial shares continue to be market leaders, especially the steels. though the uncertainty as to

The housing situation in towns
engaged on army and navy contracts
has varied considerably. In some
cases the shift of local labor from
less essential industries to war in.
dustries has been general. No hous-
ing shortage has therefore occurred.
On the other hand, increase of labor
has necessitated accommodations
for thousands of men. Arsenals,
navy yards, gun proving grounds
and nitrate powder plants have re-
quired the building Of complete new
communities, fully equipped with
houses, streets, schools, churches,
recreation buildings and public utili-
ties.
Congestion is the browning evil
that must be eliminated or, at least,
greatly reduced, if we are to win
the war. At the present time it often
hapIens that a bed is occupied for
=" entvfour hours by men working
in three shifts, and this is only one
example of deplorable sleeping con-
ditions.
The "take roomer campaign"
induced by the war, has not only
scded to the general congestion, but
created family problems of most

requisite number Of skilled me-
chanics.
England is more advanced than
the United States in the housing of
her workers. She has invested $780,
100000 in war housing, as against
a bare $100,000,O00 here-nct yet
all spent by any means-but even
she still has cities and districts that
have escaped methodical and thor
ough housing. measures. For en-
ample, it is a matter Of record that
owing to deterioration due to bad
housing. only 1000 out of II 900 men
from Manchester were physically fit
to enter the army.
The size of the problem that con-
fronts the government in it's en-
deavor to improve conditions Of
housing for war workers by appro-
priation is far from small. In re-
atty a gigantic task has been un-
dertaken. Every new or expanded
shipyard, gun or shell factory, aero
plane shop or other mushroom mu-
nitions city presents an immense
problem. But, in addition, there are
the problems Of factories that were
already in existence, multiplied by
that sudden expansion.
In 1917 the motor industry fur
nished finished products valued at
$1,000,000,000. These included cars,
submarine chasers and many war
machines. In order to accomplish
this output the force of workers was
increased-and the housing problems
of hundred plants.
The monthly output of shoes by
the leather industry amounts to
100000 Pershing trench shoes,
which means a similar increase in
workers and problems.
Each of the following thirteen
industries-boo OTIS and shoes, cotton
manufacturing, cotton finishing, hos
iery and underwear, woollen, silk,
mems ready-made clothing, iron and
steel, car building and repairing, CT
gar manufacturing, automobile man.
ufacturing, leather manufacturing

and paper making-has increased
the total amount of it's payroll,
according to a comparison Of the
payroll for March, 1918, with that
of February, 1918. This increase
is due to swollen forces to meet war
needs, rather than to higher wages.
The housing problem affects each.
Woollen, hosiery and underwear
and cotton manufacturing show the
largest increases, of 1856 per cent,
17.8 per cent, 1877 per cent, respect
lively, while the increases of the
others range from "a per cent to
14.8 per cent.
In February, 1918, 7,157 men and
4,05S women were employed in GER
tain munitions plants throughout
the United States.
In 1861 the United States
Employment Service directed ap-
proximately 458,0O0 persons to en-
ployment and it is now directing an
average of 100000 persons monthly.
More than 265,00O shipyard vol
unteers have been enrolled by the

serve. There were almost no houses
ready for them.
If New York yards are to produce
100000 tons of shipping, according
to the programme of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, in 1918 housing
accommodations must be found for
1900 workmen in shipyards on and
adjacent to New York yards.
There are some eighteen ship
yards on New York Harbor and the
vicinity occupied in constructing
and repairing ships for the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation and the
Navy Department. These do not
include several yards constructing
submarines, submarine chasers and
other small craft. In 1914 about
9,415 were employed, when war was
declared 1890, and in February
1918, 1855. The nine construction
yards working on large ships for
the Emergency Fleet Corporation
employed only 1,43O men in 1914,
