THE HOUSING PROBLEM

One evening this week, while a
cold drhzling rain was in evidence,
an elderly woman accompanied by
Q Younger female companion, evi-
dently her daughter-in-law, were
vending their way on south Fairfax
street in search Of something in the
shape ef human habitation. They
had Gene to Alexandria from Chic

/. mechanic who had cast his lot
cnlong us. The couple stopped the
writer and asked if he could direct
than to some humble dwelling
watch might be rented. AS every
house in the city in or out of order
IS occupied at present, we !. could
t,nder the women no aid, and they
,roceeded to wend their way south.
1t brought to mind scenes OF the
civil war when families were seen
ciiting upon their effects in the
!ttrects, Drawing the elements, with
nc place upon which to rest their
leads.

THE CURSE OF Safety

Benjamin. Disraeli, whose novels
introduce US to the so-called higher
society of the world, describes IN
one;Eof his books the ennui OF peo-
pie blessed with superabundance
of this worlds goods, and he asks
the question, SIS not safety, after
all, more burdensome than scar
city of life's blessings?"
Forty-six years ago the United
States passed into enc OF the dark
est clouds of it's history. Jay Cooke
& Co., of Philadelphia, who had
floated the Northern Pacific Rail
road bonds, which were to pay SIX
per cent. interest in gold, while
gold was at premium, passed into
an eclipse which caused the savings
Of thousands of persons who had in
vested their all in these bonds to
vanish in a night. Many AleXan-
drians suffered in the collapse off
this banking firm. One of our old
and previously opulent citizens,
long prominent in the commercial
history of the city, had placed his all
in the tempting investment. He
took his bed after the collapse of
the gilded structure, from which he
n
rever rose. An elderly minister Of
the gospel, long retired from his
charge and who was existing upon a
moderate income, found his riches,
too, had taken unto themselves
wings. We have others in our mind
who were ruined financially by she
failure of Jay Cooke & Co.
The wheels Of commerce began to
clog after this collapse, and many
long years of commercial depression
followed 1t looked as though the
country would never emerge from
the dark cloud which overspread it..

THE STEEL WORKERS
Strike. Equivalent of Civil War, Says
it Senator Thomas

The steel strike was called upon
the flintsiest excuse in the world,
Senator Thomas, of Colorado. de-
clared to the Senate yesterday, in a
speech on his resolution voicing
disapproval of the strike.
He declared that the strike is al
most the equivalent of civil war,
that it is strike for power and
that no real grievances are in
.volved.
"The principal object of calling
the strike at this time is to do dis
turb and bedevil the industrial con-
ditions of the United States as to
force the hand of the President at
him the coming conference and
COMPEL him to yield to the extreme
demands of those who seem to have
the upper hand in the situation at
present." Thomas declared.

Work became. exceedingly scarce,
and MECHANICS afwho had previously
commanded good wages were uanbllet
to secure employment at any price,
The country soon became full OF
tranrbs, and gangs of strange men
could be seen early in the morning
standing near residences waiting
for the men to leave their homes so
that he nomads could beg the house.
W. cs to relieve their necessities.
Work! work! was then the cry,
but the whir of machinery was sell
dom heard, while the windows OF
factories were covered with cob
webs.
The sun eventually began to shine
faintIy through the cloud and con-
ditions gradually improved.
Our nation is now enjoying the
highest tide in its history. There is
work for all at high wages, too.
But where is the appreciation of the
blessings with which we are sur
rounded?
The answer to this question is
found in the present disturbed con-
tsitions of the labor world. There is
an abundance of work, but this
abundance is not received with
Thanksgiving, and as much discomfort
exists as was apparent ftrty-slx
years ago when the wolf hung
around so many doors.

DAM MAY BE 27O FEET HIGH

The State Highway Depart
ment has received word from the
Secretary of the Interior that
there is a strong possibility of the
projected San Carlos Dam being
much higher than at first plan
ned. The. original specifications
called for a dam 100 feet inheight,
but it is now thought it will be
270 feet.
This serves to change the plans
of the highway Department in
regards to a bridge it had plan
ned near San Carlos. 1t was
known that if the dam was built
100 feet high it would cover the
present bridge. State Engineer
Maddox spent considerable time
locating a new bridge site and at
last decided on one six miles fur
ther up stream, which would keep
it out of the water, as proposed
by a survey made by military en-
gineers. But the new plan also
puts this proposed bridge under
water.
1t will now be necessary to
make a new survey for a bridge.
The proposed dam at 270 feet will
back water nearly up to the town
of Rice.
