Cities While You Wait.

 According to present calculations the civilized countries of the world are at this moment trying to support about twenty million unemployed persons, trial situation may be diminished it is very unlikely that it will ever be permanently taken up the world is administered today The problem is one that lends more than aesthetic interest to MT H. G. Wellss prophecy, when he opened a Modern Transport Exhibition in London yesterday of a world which will be building and rebuilding and experimenting in architecture more freely than has ever been the case in the past:
 We can look forward to a time when
 towns will rebuild themselves just
 go to tailor for suit of clothes,
 when people will no longer think of living
 in houses 100 or 150 years old houses haunt
 ed by the ghosts of and women who
 have lived and died in them. Houses will
 pass very rapidly out of use, and rehousing
 and rebuilding will become normal an
 occupation harvesting.
 It is an engaging and adventurous possibility. Modern excavations have shown that there were no fewer than nine successive cities settlements on the site of Troy ranging in point of time from per haps about 5000 sc. to a CIraeco-Roman town of the Christian era. According to MT. Wellss vision later world might have nine new towns in the of single century-or less than that if new housing schemes come round with the regularity of harvests or the urge for spring hats. The house. breaker and the householder would be at work aternately-or perhaps side by side with one half of town coming down while the other half went up The only glimpse of such system which is vouchsafed to at present is in the realm of road making where as soon as a new surface is com pletc along come the pipe and cable layers who pull it up again The process is not usually re- garded with approval by citizens and roadusers, but that is probably due to the obstinate and un- enlightened conservatism of the herd. In the com ing Utopia where art and economics have both indicated that new houses shall be frequent as new hats that tendency will probably have been corrected.

Thus, it is understood that Mgr

the Vatican's protests of anti

The governments reply also de-

about them is not true. Now you have in the
paper that the Communists are lazy, are against
the law, and don't know how to read or write
and IRE too lazy to work, that's why they call
people on strike. Well that's not true.
This is a small city, the city Of Danbury, and
we are also on strike against a wage cut. We
have fur shops here and we work nine and one
half hours a day, toiling and shaving for SIT
a week and now the bosses think SIT is too
much so they gave us a wage cut down to thr-
teen dollars a week. Here we are, working like
salves with dirt acid. fur, and other poisons,
and yet SIT is too much. Some of the workers
are in hospitals and others have consumption
and some already died from this work.
When we refused to accept the s13 week and
went on strike the bosses got woman by the
name of Miss Weinstock to settle the strike,
and her instead of helping the workers tried to
help the bosses by telling us the boss hasn't
got too much work, and for us to go back for
fifteen dollars a week. Now, if the boss has
work fer $13 and for SIS, why can't he have
work for SIT?
Well finally she saw we all stuck together
and refused to take fifteen dollars a week Then
she said, well you % are good American citi-
zens, and the others are Bolsheviks" Now, why
do they call everybody Bolshevik that fights
for his own rights, if that's the case all poor
people in America are BolshevikS. Who's making
the Bolshevks? Nobody but the bosses.
Well. I'll have to admit we have a leader
helping us who the bosses say is a Red Well,
whatever she is, she's great She can read and
write. maybe as good as any newspaper editor
in America. because she was born here and is
also an American citizen. The bosses are trying
to scare us by putting things in the paper and
telling lis what awful people they are. But,
without this leader we couldn't do a thing so
that shows it's the bosses that are afraid and
not tie poor people because they'll die on those
low wages anyhow. $50. Mr.. Husek, if you are
with the poor people, write about the poor people
and not about Mr.. Ford. because Mr.. Ford is
not member of the "Jednota" and he won't
