Quoted by true Americans of

believe in their country and strive
to meet their country's needs.
The men in the packing industry

have been conducted honorably,

ducing the margin between the
cost of live stock and the selling

the profit is only a fraction of a

any noticeable effect on prices.

she has always been strong. Far from
being bled white, she is in many re-
spects stronger to-day then ever be-
fore. Especially is she strong finan-
clally-- aside from the matter of infla-
tion. She has no need of helping
hand and asks for none outside of GER
tain raw materials. But no industrial
and social reconstruction has come
about; there has been no national re-
Vamplng except for war. Those who
were charged with making over the
country spent some months past in
electloneering, and then went to Paris.
England is in like case with the United
States in that she is being governed
IN an absentee sort of way, and no one
IN authority seems to have decided upon
anything. And the business people of
the country are asking that something
be done, and right quickly, to enable a
return to fairly normal conditions. To-
day nothing in England is normal. Some
want to return to the old normal;
others ask for new normal-recon-
struction. And in the reconstruction
sc tar as plans are concerned, free play
has been given to every idea. until to-
day finds England divided between
those who hope for and those who fear
q new era.

Inc Whitley committee suggested
that in each industry there should be
set up national council composed of
representatives of trades unions and
CT employer organizations; below the
national council are to be joint district
councils. The first nationally and the
second locally would settle all oues-
tons in the industry. The thought OF
the report seems to be that these
bodies should concern themselves
largely with the labor end, but there
are sthose who take it that the most
intimate practices of the employers
would also come within the jurisdiction
that is, if the planning Of any GER.
tam employer were bad, then the coun-
ell might step in and change it. And
finally the report though rather
vaguely takes the matter Of self
government right into the shop itself
by the joint workshop committee. This
committee would practically be a new
board of directors, for whatever the
corporation directors decided could
not be carried into effect without the
assent of the shop organization. In
effect the report recommends a kind
OF industrial democracy within each
industry

A Solution Of the
Servant Problem Seen

How, then, shall America set about
it to make room for the new women
immigrants? Even those of our women
that found and accepted work during
the stress of war are now being dis
charged-a personal injustice and an
institutional perversity past all belief
There is, then, in truth, some amel-
ioration in prospect for the dcarth Of
domestic servicc-the housemaid prob
lem. The unduly expensive home may
now absorb on cheaper terms more of
the human labor of which it has al
ready become so prodigally wasteful.
The positions of domestic service that
American bred girls have long dis
daned the immigrant girls will accept.
And this Is so far good-granted that
the home should have their labor-and
granted that there is elsewhere no room
for it. But still the immigrant women
must make more acute a general sit
uation that is already sufficiently grave
The labor union protest against the
labor of women rests on an economic
tallacy. National well-being or the
we'll being of the laboring classes is
not enhanced by the existence of non
producers. Whoever does not live by
title of his own product lives out Of
the product of some one else Para
sites have to be parasites on some
one-have to be maintained at others
cost. Even if there were harm from
the fact that any one works to support
himself, there must be more harm in
living without work, But to imagine
that any individual is the worse off
because others are at work supporting
themselves is about as silly as the con-
trasted error of asserting that the ma
tion as a whole or somebody in partic-
ular is, say, $4,000 the poorer by each
death that befalls from intempcrance

has enlarged it's sense of what is posi-
Bile, and at the same time ouickened its
sense of what is fair and right. The
choice by the government and Parlia-
ment of the word Reconstruction in
preference to the more colorless terms
adopted elsewhere testifies to the fact
that what the country feels to be need
ed, II we are to learn the full lesson
OF war, is not simply scheme designed
to bring life back into its pre- war chan
nels, but tolicy conceived with q
more permanent object in view and in
harmony with the spirit which the war
has evoked in all sections of the com
munity.
There arc thus two sides to the
work of reconstruction. 1t is con-
cerned both with the questions which
will arise in the natural course in this
and every other country, when the
war ends and the nation is switched
back into the activities of peace time:
and 1t has to give shape and satisfac-
ton to the strong feeling which has
arisen in all sections of the community
among men and women of the most
widely different opinions and outlook,
that there is very much to be ashemed
OF when we look back to the conditions
OF July, 1914, and that, out of justice
to the living and out of reverence for
the dead, we are called to rebuild the
national life on better and more en-
during foundation"
To this end a multitude of commit
tees have been formed to deal with
every possible event; some of them
have reported and some have not, and
there has as yet been no attempt to
coordinate them. The most important
the key committee-is that known as
the Whitley committee on industrial
relations, for it is labor that will make
or break the country, and it is to-day
in chaotic state.
Wages during the war have been
fixed by the government, but the rates
will expire in May, and pledges have
also been given that the numerous
union regulations suspended for the
war will be restored That they can
be so restored is granted to be an i'm
possibility.
