STRIKE CURE SEEN

English Survey Points Out
Unrest Cause In Hous-

LONDON, oct. 15.-England has
had two disastrous coal strikes since
the war ended. and sundry other
threats
The South Wales regional survey
committee, a branch Of the ministry
Of health, thinks living in Oppressive
conditions, huddled ike ants in dirty
valleys at the pit mouths has a di-
rect bearing on unrest. They pro-
pose TO remedy the living conditions
and alleviate he unrest by a new
housing scheme.
Depressing surroundings and
sameness OF occupation have
marked effect in causing discomfort
and unrest" reads a striking SEN
tence of the report.
One-third Of the male population
of South Wales is engaged in min
ing. the committee finds, and min
ing is concentrated in valleys unfit
ted for housing purposes. with all
the serious disadvantages of the
coal dust and smoke nuisance and
serious pollution Of rivers.
Housing of miners outside the
valleys and off the coal measures is,
therefore, proposed. and the COM
mittee suggests 10 localities as cen
ters for grouped housing schemes
20 serve particular valleys or groups
Of valleys.
1T should be built away from the
Industrial centers, il should be al
most purely residential in character,
the residents should belong TO diff
ferent industries. and the size Of the
town should be definitely limited by
a permanent agricultural belt within
its own boundaries"
The committee recommends the
immediate development OF dormitory
towns at Llantrisant station and at
Bridgend. The former would be a
town of about 10000 population. I'M
