Reward Of Thrift.
! 1t may call for the exercise OF fru-
sacrifice. but the reward is worthy of
the efforts put forth.
Before undertaking the building
or purchase of q home the worker
Is interested in knowing with as great
a degree of certainty rs possible the
prospects of steady and remunera-
tive employment. Some facts in our
recent history bearing upon the la
Dor market may prove instructive.
In nearly all lines of industry and
commerce there has been a depletion
of stocks. The shelves are empty,
and they have to be filed to their
normal business weight. The supply
Of labor Is not as ample as might be
thought on off hand examinations of
the question.
Before the European war anne,
the United States was admitting from
all nations of the world approximate
ly 100000 aliens annually, who were
used in the development of our in
dustrial enterprises. OF these 400,-
600 returned. leaving us a net gain
OF 100000 aliens, That makes $780,
900 of a shortage up to the present
time, due to the fact that since the
coming OF the wal those who have
gone out have equaled those who
have come In.
Where Labor Has Gone.
The development of our shipbuild-
Ing industry has taken from other en-
pigments nearly 500, 900 workers.
We took 10000 900 from peace-time
pursuits and sent them into the
trenches and training camps. The
best that we can hope for is hat
1000, 900 OF them may be demobilized
at the end of the calendar year
Thus there will be more than 4.000.-
900 workers less than the usual sup
ply under normal conditions. but
there Is also the possibility. indeed,
almost the certainty. of an increase in
the demand, for the reasons I have
in the beginning Of this ar
ticie.
Here. then, is the prospect which
the worker who Is scanning the flu
with a view to determining upon
his home may reasonably
count upon:

BY SECRETARY w. b. WILSON
or the Department OF Labor

The processes of reconstruction
will be greatly facilitated and the re-
turn to industrial and commercial ac-
tivity will be greatly speeded by the
exercise of confidence pm the part of
our people.
With a world wide demand coming
for our products there will be greater
demand for labor than we have ever
had In the past. That Is tho belief OF
Almost everyone with whom 1 have
talked on this subject, employers and
men of large business.
I do not believe there will be any
material wage reductions. I believe
only a short-sighted employer would
seek to bring about lower a II
ts almost certain that wage earners
will resist any attempt to reduce their
pay, and because of the higher wages
they have enjoyed during the last few
years they are now In position to en-
gage in q struggle against wage-re-
duction which would be prolonged
and costly.
From the employers side, tremen-
dous loss would be occasioned
through strikes by the disruption of
disadvantage in competing for busi-
hess when the period OF intense in
dustrial activity sets In.
Most employers have the vision TO
see these facts. On the world hori-
ron they See demand coming for their
products from every quarter. They
zee the great South American contin-
ent with its doors open waiting for
rs. They see the need OF our prod
ucts in the rebuilding of devastated
France n Belgium. Eastern Europe
and the Orient beckon to us and the
vast potentialties of unhappy Russia
are q promise of the future.
Signs For Confidence.
These signs should inspire our peo-
pie to confidence. The wage-earner
and the salarled employee, no less than
the manufacturer and business man,
should face the future and bend to
the tasks of the present with resolute
courage.
This confidence. so greatly needed
at this time, can be shown in a most
substantial way by the workers in
exercising determination to own their
homes. The nationwide movement
Tor homecoming now under way
should commend itself to every
thoughtful person. It's first effect will
be to provide a powerful impetus to
industry, giving employment to build
ing trades and to mill and material
workers, and contributing stimulus TO
all lines of business.
