THE NEXT LOAN.

Good Morning. Have you bought a Vi -Jry Liberty Bond?"
 We can expect soon to receive this form of sRlutation as we step out of our homes and start downtown for the office from the milkman, the policeman and any of the school children on the way.
 And, of course, unless we have the but tons or other insignia which the local Liberty Loan Committee will give to bond buyers, we can expect to buy a bond or another one. the case may be. We may try to dodge out of it, either through being already listed as an investor, or just through sheer cussedness, but it can't be done; that is. it won't be possible while the army of volunteer col lectors and solicitors is on the job, and during the four previous loan campaigns they ate, lived and stayed awake on the job twenty-four hours of every day.

400 JOBs co BEGGING

While Hartfc~d' colony of Bolshe- vists and I. W. W. were raising the red flag of Bolshevism in their Mar l1et street headquarters last night, 400 jobs at 10 cents an hour went begging and as the result Hartford may face an ice famine next summer, unless some of Hartf0rd's unemployed for whom these same I. W. W's demand ed jobs see fit to quit bIuffing and go to work.
 For more than a week the Trout Brook Ice Company has been try ing to get men to go to New Hart ford to cut ice and Tuesday a repre- sentative of a group of Iithuanians who are out of work agreed to fur nish 200 men the next day That night at a meeting the offer was turn ed down by the unemployed work CTS" and the ice company is still look ing for help.

READ TAX FORM

While the Bureau of Internal Rev enue is sending to every county in the United States experts to aid in the making out of income tax re- turns, it is not to be supposed that these officers are to relieve taxpay- CTS altOgethc- of their daty in this respect" said Collector of Internal Revenue James J. Walsh today Many persons, without even taking he trouble to glance over the forms, hand them to the revenue officers ex- pecting them to make out the com plete return. This necessitates a number of questions which cnly the taxpayer himself can answer, such as Were you in 1918 married and lv- ing with V lfe or husband?'
 Taxpayers are urged to read care fully the instructions and fill in the forms to the best of their ability, leaving to the experts only such questions as to which they may be in doubt.
 "On each form is printed the fol- lowing:
 If you need assistance go to a deputy collector or to the collectors s office but first raa,d instructions and fill out the sheet Tn pencil as well as you cam
 By needing this advice taxpayers will save themselves and the gov ernment much time and trouble"

THE BUILDING SITUATION.

Leslie w. Sprague, of the informa- ton department of the United States Bureau of Labor, says there is a shortage of 3O0.0OO dwellings He has been travelling all over the Unit ed States. Everywhere he went he found a scarcity of houses. Rentals were found to be universally high. In many places people are very uncom-
 rtable for lack of homes
 MT. Sprague in his public ad- dresses is endeavoring to encourage people to go ahead and build now, in spite of the obstacles of high cost of construction. His statistics go to show that building has not increased in cost as much as most commOdi- ties. From this he claims that it is not likely to be much cheaper later on, so that nothing is gained by waIt- ing.
 Increased cost has been partly off set by new economics. The substltu- ton of concrete for more costly ma terial has helped. A good many concerns are getting out the parts of standardized houses, and shipping them where they are wanted But the economy of this plan must depend on having efficient arrangements for assembling and erecting the house after the materials are delivered. It would seem as if freight costs on houses thus delivered ready to set up, must be larger than when lumber is delivered in bulk to some near by mill, to be made up for the use of local builders.
 Of course the people must have houses to live in. No town can go ahead unless it has comfortable quarters for its working people 4 great many buildings will be erected this year, on the theory that it is better to pay a high cost than get along without them. But the short age of buildings is not likely to be completely remedIed, until contrac- tors and sellers of material and em- ployes get together and arrange soneh ow to reduce the cost

arm Colonies.

''Tt Is essential that both the work of preparation and the subsequent settle ment of the land should be effected by groups or colonies, not by men living independently of one another and in depressing isolation.
 A plan of this sort is already in operation in England. The importance of the project as an item of any social reform program is obvious. It would afford employment to thousands upon thousands, would greatly increase the number of farm owners and independ- ent farmers and would tend to lower the cost of living by increasing the amount of agricultural products. If it is to assume any considerable propor- tions it must be carried out by the gov ernments of the United States and of the several States. Should it be under taken by these authorities and oper- ated on a systematic and generous scale it would easily become one of the mczc beneficial reform measures that has ever been attempted.
 Employment Service.
 "The reinstatement of the soldiers and sailors in urban industries will no doubt be facilitated by the United States Employment Service. This agency has attained a fair degree of development and efficiency during the war Unfortunately there is some dan ger that it will go out of existence or be greatly weakened at the end of the period of Rehabilitation. It is the ob- vious duty of Congress to continue and strengthen this important institution. The problem of unemployment is with us always. Its solution requires the cooperation of many agencies and the use of many methods, but the primary and indispensable instrument is na- tional system of labor exchanges act ing in harmony with State, municipal and private employment bureaus.
 Women War Workers.
 "One of the most important prob lens of readjustment is that created by the presence in industry of inn mense numbers of women who have taken the places of men during the war. Mere justice, to say nothing of chivalry, dictates that these women should not be compelled to suffer any greater loss or inconvenience than is absolutely necessary, for their services to the nation have been second only to the services of the men whose places
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-03-07

they were called upon to fill. One general principle Is clear: No female worker should remain in any occupa- ton that is harmful to hea Il or nor als. Women should disappear as quick " as possible from such tasks as con ducting and guarding street cars, clean ing locomotives and great number of other activities for which conditions of life and their physique render them unfit. Another general principle is that the proportion of women iU industry ought to be kept within the smallest practical limits. If we have an eff cient national employment service, If q goodly number If the returned soldiers and sailors are placed on the land and if wages and the demand for goods are kept up to the level which is easily at. tainable all female workers who are displaced from tasks that they have been performing only since the begin ming of the war will be able to find suitable employments in other parts of the industrial field or in those domestic occupations which sorely need their presence. Those women who are en- gagged at the same tasks as men should receive equal pay for equal amounts and qualities of work.
 National War labor Board.
 One of the most beneficial govern mental organizations of the war is the National War Labor Board. Upon the basis of a few fundamental principles unanimously adopted by the represent ativCs of labor, capital and the public 1t has prevented innumerable strikes and raised wages to decent levels fin many different industries throughout the country Its main guiding princi- pies have been 8 family living wage for all male adult labOreTs, recognition of the right of labor to organize and to deaf with employers through it's chosen representatives and no coercion of non union Iaborers by members of the un- ion. The War Labor Board ought to be continued in existence by Congress and endowed with all the power for eff fective action that it can possess under the Federal Constitution. The princt- pies, methods, machinery and results of this institution constitute a definite and far-reaching gain for social jus tice. No part of this advantage should be lost or given up in time of peace.
 Housing for Working Glasses,
 Housing projects for war workers which have been completed or almost completed by the Government of the United States have cost some forty million dollars and are found in eleven cities. While the Federal Government cannot continue this work In time of peace, the example and precedent that it has set and the experience and knowledge that 1t has developed should not be forthwith neglected and lost. The great cities in which congestion and other forms of bad housing are disgracefuIly apparent ought to take up and continue the work at least to such an extent as will remove the worst features of a special condition that Is a menace at once to industrial efficiency, civic health, good morals and religion

RepIaoement of Men In Service.

''The first problem in the process of reconstruction is the industrial re placement Of the discharged soldiers and sailors. The majority of these will undoubtedly return to their prevI- ous occupations. However, a very large number of them will either find their previous places closed to them or will be eager to consider the possibility of more attractive cmployments. The most important single measure for meeting this situation that has yet been suggested is the placement of such men on farms. Several months ago Secretary Lane recommended to Congress that returning soldiers and sailors should be given the opportunity to work at good wages upon some part of the millions upon millions of acres of arid, swamp and cut-Over timber lands in order to prepare them for cul- tivatiOn. President Wilson, in his an nuaI address to Congress, endorsed the proposal. As fast as this preliminary task has been performed the men should be assisted by government loans to establish themselves as farmers, either as owners or as tenants having longtime leases.

FcFeWord.

"The ending of the Great War has brought peace. But the only safeguard of peace is social justice and a con- tented people. The deep unrest so em- phaticauy and so widely voiced throughout the world is the most seri- ous menace to the future peace of every nation and of the entire world. Great problems face us. They carrot be put aside; they must be met and solved with justice to all.
 ''In the hope of stating the lines that will best guide us in their right solu- tion the following pronouncement is issued by the Administrative Commit tee of the National Catholic War Coun- ciI
