INDUSTRIAL HOMES MAKE
FOR SUCCESS, IS FINDING
Race With Land Not Revolution
lists, Bay State Report
Declares,

BOSTON. October 2s.-Industrial
homes and gardens are to be one of
the major elements of the many fac
tors that make for success in future
manufacturing. in the opinion of the
special committee which submitted q
report today to the Associated, Indus.
tries OF Massachusetts, at it's annual
meeting.
"A hundred years ago the great
bulk Of Massachusetts oitiSens were
home and land owners" said the re-
port, t'but today less than s per cent
of the industrial workers of the state
own their own homes. History shows
no race of people who have owned
land they cultivated who became rev.
olutionists. Russia. France, Mexico
all blew up because the people could
not get the land"
The report presented figures of the
cost of labor 0NertuEn in certain
Large industrial plants. and pointed
Fout that homes and gardens wohld
automatically reduce this cost. 1t
aH4Eeated t1sGHp worker before he
invested his savings in q house should
be made to feel reasonably sure Of
regular employment and relieved Of
the fear Of arbitrary discharge.
