THIS EMPLOYER SUR
PRISED

Philadelphia.-"It is surprising
fact that opposition to reduction in
wages in the building trades is found
only among workers who form part
Of organized labor"
The above discovery has been made
by E. P. Flannery, chairman Of a
committee Of employers who are con-
ducting a fight against carpenters
who have been locked out because
they refuse to accept wage reduc-
tions without a voice in the proceed
ings.
1t might be stated that Mr.. Flan-
nery's discovery is the real reason
why certain employers insist on the
anti-union shop.

BAD CONDITIONS
Shown in Child Labor Of
Five States

Washington.-The United States

Dor law has shown the vicious circle
of child labor, illiteracy, bodily fee
bleness and poverty. In five states
it was found that many of the child
rem were underweight when exam
ined by a physician. They had been
working in the mills for several years.
Some gained quickly when taken out
of the mill and put on better diet.
With others it was difficult to reach
even the low standard called for by
the physical requirement Many par
ents reported unable to pay for medi-
cal attention, and in most cases no
public clinics were available to lend
assistance.
One-ffth of the children in the five
states left school when they were in
fourth grade; almost one-tenth of
them had never attended school or
had not gone beyond the first grade,
and only one twenty-ffth had at
tended the eighth or a higher grade.
Their educational equipment was
even more limited than the grade
which they last attended would indi-
cate.
One-fourth of the children would
be refused certificates if ability to
write their names legibly had been a
requirement.

a great multitude could be fed
with "twelve loaves and five
small fishes!'
The housing problem and situa-
ton in Los Angeles are evidences
Of the fact. In the first eight months
Of the present year our city building
operations exceeded by 100000
the 100000 record of the like
period in 1920. From January l.
last, we have been in the lead of all
other great American cities in the
proportion of residential structures
erected, compared with the whole
number.
ID Yet, recently, at the end of July,
our housing shortage, according to
Government and other reliable sta
tistics, was placed at 36 per cent,
in, comparison with New York, q
per cent; Philadelphia, II; Pitts
burg, 16; Detroit, 3; and Cleveland,
per cent.
7 Valuations of new buildings in
August, 1921, amounted to $1,000
900, compared with $6,970,312 in
August, 1920. Earlier August ag-
gregates were: $2,402, 444 in 1919,
$1,287, 498 in 1914, and $3,501 1913 in
1913. In August, 1911, ten years
ago. the total was $1,76O,776.
For the fiscal year ending June
30, 1921, values of new buildings
reached a total of $70,129,438, com
pared with $43,904,S0l for the pre-
ceding twelve months. In August,
1921, there were $500 building per
mits issued; in August, 1920, 2,643.
In addition to an imposing list
of hotels and apartment houses, Of
fee and mercantile structures during
the past year, Los Angeles has built
sufficient number Of residences,
with moderate priced family homes
predominating, to house $4,000 peo-
pie. These have been going up at
the rate of nearly one thousand per
month.
Calculating from the basis of to-
days building activity, there ap-
pears to be assurance of accommo-
dations for $4,000 more new home
jewellers during the current fiscal
year.
. 1t is a fact we must face, that
such building provision would be
utterly inadequate. Such limited
expansion only would leave us where
we are now-at least 30, aud
more probably 40, per cent short of
our necessary requirements.
Now, we have a steady and un-
deviating influx of 1000 families
per month, or 5000 persons. That,
during the year, will call impera-
lively for housing enough to care
for new population increment Of
$4,000 souls. Should the tidal wave
Of immigration keep on rising, as
it seems certain to, it will call
for new residential building con-
siderably in excess OF 1000 struc-
lures. each month.
