A Victory For Civilization

The decision of the British railway unions and the
transport workers call off the sympathetic strike

civilized world. Not that there is any feeling of par
tanshp for the propctors and operators of the British
coal mines, who may not be right in their part
of the controversy. But it the truth that the losses
of what may he fairly called the greatest strike all
history would fall not merely upon the coal miners and
merely upon all the people of the British isles but
also upon civilized and everywhere thruout
the world.

Pueblo's Lack Of Houses

Tho Chieftan will admit that there serious OBJ
staces in the way of a building campaign in Pueblo
at the present time Materials high Labor is high
Business conditions unsettled, and there is much
uncertainty the future But all of these things do
change the valy important fact that Pueblo needs
houses.
At the present time there is a shortage of houses
in Pueblo especially of SMALL modern cottages of four
and five 1t has become joke with many fam
lilies to in the morning paper advertisement of
wanted, four five-room modern cottage, well locat
ed "Nobody but tenderfoot would expect to get
anything like that in Pueblo.' Young married couples
many of them, unable to live properly and
fortably, and putting up with unpleasant and
sanitary conditions, paying excessive rent for poor
commodations because they can do no better.
The lack of suitable housing conditions is going to
be a tremendous handicap to Pueblo in the coming
months.
This city of the most prosperous places in the
vest and the west is the most prosperous part of the
whole country.
Already there is unusual number of strangers
in the city, with much larger proportion of young
than usual These young strangers constitute the best
opportunity for city development that Pueblo has had
in many years. 1t is such opportunity as would
have been worth the expenditure of many thousands of
dollars to bring Pueblo to the attention of these young
who looking for opportunities of business and
of investment and of homemaking.
In the coming months there will surely be much
greater number of such visitors. Pueblo might
ably expect addition of several thousand her per-
manen population if suitable living quarters could be
provided for them. Some of them will stay anyhow,
enough to make notable addition to population and to
business in this city But there will be many and some
among the most desirable class who will go from Pueblo
to other cities where the housing conditions arc more
adequate to the peoples needs
1t is true that this condition is not peculiar to
Pueblo alone Other cities having the same trouble
that having and other cities with far less than
Pueblo need and far less than Pucblos opportunity
are making strenuous and extraordinary efforts to pro.
vide better houses for the people they and more
houses for the people they expect to add their
lation.
The business of Pueblo and those who nigh
supply the capital needed for campaign of ''more
homes for more people" in this city should not be
satisfied with accepting the obstacles to building here
and now as insurmountabc Other cities will build il
Pueblo docs not Other cities arc building And those
cities will surely gain the benefits that nav come Ia
Pueblo if our people have the wisdom the courage
and the enterprise to make the most of their present
opportunities.

A PERMANENT EXPOSITION

cial burden either on the federal
treasury or on any one state. The idea
has always been that congress was to
buy and donate the land and each
state would then be at liberty to use
its share for a building and grounds-
The cost of the land would not be
great. From 200 to 1000 acres
would be needed, according to vari-
Gus estimates and plans.
Sites Suggested
There are several sites suggested.
one in Rock Creek Park, and another
tract of 500 acres across the Poto-
mac river in Virginia This latter
site is regarded as especially good.
1t is part of the land which was
originally in the District and was
later coded back to Virginia. 1t Is al
ready owned by the government and
used by the department of aErtcul-
ture as an experiment station. We
have been told that the station needs
a larger piece of land and would be
willing to move. The Virginia land
is near Arlington. the national ceme-
terry. and commands an attractive
view of Washington. 1t is also de-
sirable in that it is easily reached by
street car.
The Rock Creek Park site is not -
accessible. Still another site, near the
capitol, would involve a great deal
OF preliminary work, as whole blocks
of old houses would have to be torn
down.
The government appropriation would
be needed only to pay for the land.
If privately owned property were
selected. and to pay for a small Of
flee force to do the clerical work
necessary in developing the plan.
Representative Davis figured that q
board of trustees composed of the
vice president, cX-officio. the speaker
of tho house of representatives. e1-
officio, and four senators and four
representatives would manage the
project He proposed that they give
their services without additional pay
The only appropriation in his bill
was n sum not to exceed $4,000 q
year for clerical hire.
| The cost of the buildings would b
decided by each state. and no state
| would be urged or compelled to build
at all IL it preferred not to. Each
state is to be left to itself to plan its
| own building. according to the pres
ont scheme, but the board of trustees

 Clearing Up
 Few Repairs

With the return of several Leake employees to work on the Congress street bridge, reports were circulated that permission had been granted to the concern to return to work and complete the repairs, regardless of the fact that they have already incurred excessive expenses.
 Mayor Wilson cleared up the point this morning with the following state ment:
 '"The Leake company was given au- thority to put in the shafts on the bridge by the engineers employed to examine the structure and offer rec concentrations for improvement and repairs. The construction of the shafts was something of immediate necessity that could i'll afford to wait and work was started on this project long before the engineers re- turned their report to the city. The shafts have to be completed, and the concern at present is employed in fin- ishing the work on these shafts, and are not and will not make any of the other repairs until contracts have been let by competitive advertising.'
