make the other alternatives more at
tractive. At present the committee Is
without information concerning the
amount that must be raised at once"

THE DRIFT FROM THE CITY
Foresiohted Corporations Are Now
Building Their Factories In the
Rural Districts.

American corporations have sought,
as a rule, to build plants at or near
large cities, where there supposedly
was an ample supply of suitable labor.
But the building of factories at big
cities has not proved altogether sat
isfactOry. 1t has been found that la
Dor union agitators can exercise more
infammatory influence in large cen
ters than where plants are located In
the smaller communities. The large
city plant often finds II difficult to es-
tablish close, intimate personal rela-
tons with its work people, whereas
in a smaller town the executives who
run the principal industries can and
do very often get closer to their folk
and build up harmonious relationships
which outside professional agitators
cannot bedevil.
From now on there will be wit
messed more building of new plants
away from cOngested centers. The
most progressive employers today at
tach very great Importance TO bring
ing about spirit of loyalty among
their people, and they find that it is
not so difficult TO do this when their
plant is either the only one or one Of
a few in a community.
This movement away from crowded
industrial centers is to be welcomed.
1t is better for all concerned, for ex-
ample, that new cotton mills be built
in Texas than in Fall River. new
wooden mills in the Middle West than
in Lawrence, Mass, and huge new au-
