TRAMPS AND TRANSMITS

The government, in its plan tC
start camps all over the country to
provide work for wandering people
is tactful in its effort to attract these
rowing folks. II seems to feel that
they are shy birds who could easily
be scared away. The majority of
them are commonly referred to as
tramps. vagrants. or hObOes. Evil
IDENTIFY fearing that they will dislike
to be so classified, the government
refers to them in its public notices
as "transients" and "non-residents. :"
It gives them a good and fair invi-
tatiOn. to which they should re-
spOnd.
1t offers its hand to them, regard
ing them as ordinary men and citi-
,zens who have. had hard luck, and
if they have made mistakes. the gov
ernment forgets that side of it.
How far will men who have
formed the habit of row.
ing around from place to place. be
satisfied to settle down and do reg
ular work? The newspaper trade
back in the days of hand typesetting
had much experience with tramp
printers. Such ones found tempo |
'ary jobs in rush times. Many of /
hem were competent craftsmen, but /
booze would often lay them low. /
They were apt to be intelligent and
they had seen much of
he country. and in many cases you
night learn something from them.
The business world has not much
lse for that type of worked now. II
must have reliable people. We shall
low see whether the government
amps can do more for this class of
nen than private employers have
'een able to do. Much will depend
Ipon the kind of men who are ap-
'Ointed as leaders and instructors
f such camps. A persuasive leader
nay be able to convince many of
hem that wandering around the
ountry never got anybody anything
'Orth having.
