4. H. BROWN SCOPES PRESENT CONDITION
Prepares Article Giving Cause and
 Effect of Supply and Demand

Secretary A. H. Brown, who has Association in New Britain for the past four years, has prepared an article for the Herald in which he de- scribes the present industrial unrest. The article scopes the entire situation in a general way. The paper follows in part:
 The industrial and social unrest which is sweeping, not only over our country, but throughout the world, is not without parallel.
 While this is greater in magnitude so far as individuals and territory are concerned.> yet, if We take into con- sideration the greater area of land and the larger number of people now affected by industrial conditions, and cofnpare the same conditions with the world when similar depressions have occurred, we would find that the ratio is On 2 similar scale.
 Passing over the earliest record ed strike" when Moses led the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt from the house of bondage, across the Red sea- into the wilderness to escape the prosecutions of the Egyptians on his people, we have but to refer to conditions existing about the middle of the 14th century, during the reign of Edward III.
 The wars which the king and his predecessors had been conducting against the Scotch and the French had sorely tried the people, both from a physical and financial standpoint.
 Near the close of 1348, a terrible plague swept over the continent eventually crossing the channel ant ravaging England. Of the three ol four million who at that time formed

the population of the British Isles, more than one-half succomed to the black plague and leprosy. One bur ial ground alone Tn the city of Lon don, held more than 50,000 bodies, while in some places the living were hardly able to bury the dead.
 Of course the living environments, the lack of drainage, the filthy con- ditions of the streets; as well as the general unsanitary conditions and the lack Of intelligent medical care was responsible for the terrible epidemic and it's prolongment of over twenty years
 Effects of Shortage.
 The result was the universal dis ruption of the labor madket; for the scarcity of hands prevented the till age of the soil and the harvesting of the crops. All price Of labor rose to unheard of proportions and was ac- companied with a corresponding rise ,, in the price of food. Only by a tenn porary release of half the rent by the land owners, were the farmers of their demesnes induced to refrain from the abandonment of their farms Sheep and cattle strayed at will through the fields and corn, lacking | the care of shepherds and herdsmen harvests routed on the ground; while wool, which was the national commo- | dity and the backbone of the nation ] al exckecquer, remained unshorn. Labor made inslstant demands; l capital rstaliated by advancing prices and the strife between two factions I was on. to be continued through the | intervening centuries to the present | day.
 To the industrial observers of that | time, there was but one remedy, anC l that of a most radical nature. The | entire system of land ownership ant 1 tenantry was changed. Where for ] merly the tenant titled the soil or I shares, II which he was allowed hi: ] sustinancy and the occupancy of hi: 1 little home, while the land owner l claime.l his larger share, he now pai6 | his rental fee and the land was titled by hired laborers.

cd the European front, were far from adequate to the constantly increasing demands; then America went into the tern1oil and the lid was off. The demand for more, and stil more, production regardless of cost was insistant, and to accomplish this stupendous problem, unheard of wages were offered, liberal bonuses were paid, and the materials for the War were sold to the government OH d cost plus basis in accordance with a plan originated and outlined by the administration.
 The Serviceman's Case. Suddenly the war stopped. The boys who had been fighting l twentyfour hours per day for $50 per 1 month, could not see the justice of the men who stayed at home receiving fabu ous wages for an eight hour day | and who had even been striking for less hours, more pay and smaller pro- 5uction-while the natural result was l a decided unrest and dissatisfac ction ,n their part.
 ! The frequency of strikes, and the I widespread reports of industrial un- 1 rest which could be traced to both ] cause and effect of the strikes, can be only looked upon as an epidemic. l Although it was inevita ble that the l disease must be al owed to run it's l course, yet to safeguard the indus l trial as we'll as the social life of the ! nation, it was necessarily to take dras- tic measures to confne it within it's proper limits and to stamp out it's in- ] sidious influence.
 1 There was but one method by l which the unrest and turmoil could be efectually bridled, and that, though drastic was t-1 only solution after { he problem had been considered from ievery angle.
 It would mean the stagnation o1 1 business; it would throw thousands out of work; it would bring hardship and suffering to many more; but il
 would have the effect Of bringing
 prices to a lower level and bring many l who had been, crazed and MaHy money
 mad by an era of temporary and
 aLorat1ve prosperity to realizzing
 sense of the folly of extravaganza.
 Buying Stopped.
 As if by common consent the people lstoppe1 buying, while the producers
 seeing that the demand was far below tie supply and that their stock on
 hand or in process of manufacture was produced on an exceptionally | high market; at once took a loss and
 lowered their prices, laid off, at first the more incompetent of their en-
 ployees, and shortened their running time
 l RecOStTuctiOn Begun.
 The stamping out of the industrial disease had begun and has been spreading to all parts of the country;
 men found themselves without work
 and with no ace to turn to find a job while the wheels of industry were | turning more and more slowly.
 Today there is no ptomise of a re-
 urn to normal condition until prices | of living necessities are reduced to a i reasonable basis and the market shows
 sls ns of activity.
 ] While it is inevitable that the work | CT must accept a lower scale of wage still it is not necessary to presume that
 he new level will be as low as that 1 which prevailed before the war, while 1 oH the other hand the cost of living Will Of it's own necessity reach a cor ] responding lower level
 How long this will be and when we may expect resumption of normal conditioRs is only conjecture and one

It may reasonably be supposed, however, that late in the fall or early winter a slight improvement will be noted, though it is very doubtful if industrial conditions will be in a sat- isfactorp condition before another year.
