Establishment of peace, were made pub

General Organ declared that "for

Alternate Periods Of Poverty and
Plenty Is Life Of Common Labor

By International Labor News Service.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2O.-
Detailed study of the economic status
of more than 81 900 workers in "a
South Carolina cotton mill villages
show that the life of the poorly paid
worker is marked by alternate periods
of poverty and comparatively.
The study which was made by the
United States Public Health Service
in connection with an investigation
of pelegra, confirms, in the main,
conclusions reached by B. Seebohm
Rowntree, an English economist, in
his classic study of poverty in York
England.
Rowntree observed that the life of
a laborer is marked by alternating
periods of want and comparative
plenty" He was speaking of workers
who were very close to the poverty
line and directed especial attention to
the fact that "every laborer who has
as many as three children must pass
through a time, probably lasting for
about ten years, when he will be in a
state of primary poverty"
Changes in Workers Income
The York laborer's economic ups
and DOWNS" as described by Rown-
tree, follows:
During early childhood, unless his
father is a skilled worker, he prob
