THAT HOUSING PROBLEM.

In reference to the scarcity of
houses for the employees Of the in
tustries of this vicinity to live in, AS
Iemblyman-elect Edward ]. Peterson
yalis attention to a condition at Par
lin hat might be investigated more
thoroughly with the idea of helping
% solve the problem.
Mr.. Peterson writes the EVENING
NEWS that during his travels about
The county prior to the election he
loticed many houses for rent at Par
lin. He states that work is slack at
the big powder plant and that many
OF the employees are being laid off.
One of the rules of the Du Pont COM
pany. he says, is hat a man who is
no longer in the employ of the con-
Germ must vacate the company's
house in which he lives within a
short time after he has been laid
of. This being true still more
houses are likely to be vacated dur-
Ing the winter.
With the housing situation SO
acute 1t does not seem reasonable
hat the Du Pont company would de-
l~iberately turn tenants out and then
let the house they vacated stand
empty. If the employe who has &C.
.Tapied the house OF the company is
be succeeded by another man
IRE Is some excuse for the house
ay be needed for the family of the
sew man. With the powder mills
ack, however, as Mr.. Peterson says
e has been informed that they are.
the least the company can do is to
permit the man who has been laid off
because of slack work there TO re-
main a tenant while he work
elsewhere in this vicinity. If the
man finds work in another part OF
the state and vacates the house. then.
by all means, let the house be rented
TO any reliable party no matter where
he may be employed. who is des-
perately In need OF finding a home
for his family at the present time.
If it is true, as A~ssemblyman-
elect Peterson surmises, thai the
United States government assisted in
the erection of many Of these houses
during the war, there is all the more
reason why the powder company
should offer any vacant dwellings

THE TERNA CIRCLE.

Signs begin to multiply that the
face with their old bugaboo-un-
employment. Banished for four years
by the inordinate demand for labor
caused by war, the spectre that has
haunted the workers from time i'm
memorial is peeping around the cor
ner. The cause?
There are a variety of fuses
First, the demand for export goods is
slackening-not because Europe
does not want and need American
goods. but because her purchasing
power is almost at an end, she has
no cash, she has little goods, and
credit is stretched to the breaking
point. Thus, American business men
must look forward to a constantly
lessening foreign market. Second,
the number of workers seeking jobs
Is being steadily increased. The first
increment was the returned soldiers.
American industry easily took care
of most of them. But for the past
few months the tide of immigration
has been swelling and sweeping into
America until today 1t is coming with
a rush which is controlled only by
the number of steamers sailing to
our shores. Third. is the price situa-
ton. American consumers, unable
to continue consumption at the inor-
dinately high prices ceased to buy.
Consequently. the machinery of
commerce and trade Is becoming
clogged, goods are moving more and
more slowly, and factory after fac
tory is c~urtailing production, shut
ting down for Inventory taking"
running on a four day-a-week sched-
ule and so on.
The burden falls on the day work.
err. When goods were needed and
workers were scarce, unemployment
vanished and wage went up. But
so did prices faster and higher.
When the Industrial machinery gets
clogged. unemployment stares the
worker In the face.
