WRONG HOUSING REMEDIES.

Something certainly will have to bc

increased rather than diminished
Millions of people are living in houses
Or apartments that are not large
enough or good enough to accommo-
late them properly. Millions are
'rowded in with other families when
they ought to have homes of their
own. All the discussion seems to
have led nowhere. 1t would take L.

This plan has been approved by the
housing committee Of the United

IDLE WORKERS.

"A labor magazine estimates the
number OF workers unemployed the
first OF the year ut 2.325.000. The
larger groups are divided as follows
Building trades, 100000; automo-
biles. 100000: textiles, 225,OOO;
clothing. 100000; railroads. 100000;
steel and iron, 10000: shipping. 1885,
900; food products. 100000; amuse-
ments. $4,000; metal mining, $4,000;
shipbuilding. $4,000. rubber $4,000;
shoes and leather. $4,000: printing,
$4,000; casual labor. $4,000.

II the present rate of increase

How United States Steel common

holders.
At the end of 1920 United States

over 1000 names were added to its

the current year is proof positive
of the steady accumulation of Steel
