Three Principal Features,
Health, Education and
Labor Conditions
MRS. HALE SPEAKS
TO WOMAN'S CLUB
by Severe Cold Which
Caused Temperature of 102-Intro-
duction of Woman's Human Point of
View Into Labor Question Needed.

Laboring under the handicap of a Sc
we're cold, which induced temperature
of lO2. Mrs. Beatrice Forbes Robinson
Hale of New York city spoke to large
audience composed of members of the
Brattleboro Woman's club and a few
others in the Centre Congregational
church yesterday afternoon on Recon
struction in Europe and America, cit
ing the three principal features of re-
construction as health, education and la
Dor conditions.
Reference to Mrs Hale's previous APP
pearances in Brattleboro was made by
Mrs. H. L. Waterman, president of the
club, who introduced the speaker.
In opening her address Mrs. Hale said:
when we have not had destruction we
cannot have construction" and she
asserted that we were now in new
epoch. She told of presenting her claims
to the department of state at Wash
I ington in order to secure her passport to
England, where she wished to go after
the war in order that she might learn
something which people here might well
| follow. While there was little unrest
| here, she said, there was a great deal
there: here we have something of a
| housing problem, but there that problem
is great But labor is the greatest
problem in the world today. Labor all
the world over is finding out what its
fair share of control is. Organized labor
is more strongly entrenched in England
she declared. than here.
/ After referring to the revelations OF
| the physical tests for military service
| the speaker asserted that the physica
health and we'll being of the people was
the first thought in Great Britain, where
| a ministry of health was created in l9l<
and where there had been a net increase
of 100000 inhabitants in spite of The
war. The demand for housing quarter;
far outreached the supply, help was higl
and materials We're high, making it diff
ficult for private enterprise to build the
required number of dwellings
At this point Mrs. Hale explained the
co operative societies, which ran tht
industries, the banking, the sales, il
fact all sorts of cooperative societies
The cooperative societies are buildin
all over England and helping in tn
housing problem. 1t was necessary
too, the speaker declared, to get peopl
to go back to the land, urging everyon
who could to take a few acres and de
mandng that the hunting reservation
be given up at nominal sums for tn
purpose of fostering tillage. All of thi
was being done, she said, for improvin
the health of Great Britain.
Education was the next point take
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1920-01-22

up by the speaker, who went INTO many
phases of that side of the subject of re-
construction, touching upon the in
creased responsibility of a high school
teacher over the teacher in the grades
as bearing upon the difference IN the
ages of the children under their instruc
ton.
In speaking of the labor question Mrs.
Hale remarked that great majority OF
the laborers believe in capitalists; that
the miners, railway trainmen and trans
port workers were the only extremists.
She criticized the newspapers In gen
eral for the way in which they played
up articles, and declared that this coun-
try is not on the eve of revolution.
She said that labor desired share in
the control of industries, not merely
shorter hours and higher wages. 1t is
not because of malpractice of capital
lists, she declared, but on account OF the
conditions brought about by the intro
ductiOn of improved machinery, which
has caused the unrest and dissatisfac
ton.
We are paying the price of having ne
elected the immigrant. Labor IN this
country is dissatisfied dissatisfied on
account of the enormous differences in
wealth. There are many legitimate
causes for dissatisfaction, as well as
some illegitimate causes, and it Is a
danger, the speaker asserted.
The great need in this reconstruction
epoch is that we as citizens, men and
women, get back our sanity, our under
standing of fair play, our human COM
prehension which the newspapers and
political agitation of The country have
been endangering. Mrs. Hale declared
there never was a time when the in
fiuence of women was so much needed
in public life; men have given to the
world all the first class geniuses except
| in politics.; the greatest political vii
lians have been men; women are nor
NAL. The need is for a stable govern
ment. In conclusion the speaker said
| i'll part: Now is the time for the wo
mems clubs of America to get down tC
brass tacks and study what are the in
| tiuences which are wrong in our com
munities. There never was a time il
America when the problems were a.
acute as they are today. Let us max,
up our minds to take up our response
bilities as citizens with an idea that w
can supplement the thought and acts Q
men. To introduce the woman's human
point of view into the great labor ques
ton of today will have justified our or
ganization."
