War Workers
May Need Aid

MILLIONS of these war work.
NA ers have left their homes
and families behind them the
same as the service men to go
long distances to take jobs and

times get as lonely and as home-
sick as any soldier in foreign
land.
Others have taken their FAM
lilies with them only 10 find that
their wives and children must
live under the most frightful
housing conditions.

amusement provided the soldiers
is denied them in most places,
though a few towns and fac
tories endeavor 10 supply some
entertainment for them.

- workers are so neglected and
badly treated that most of the
men would be glad 10 chuck
their jobs and join the service.
am aware that this is a pic
ture slightly different from that
which is fixed in the public
mind, but l think it is a true
one.
The high W a ges you hear
about are seldom discussed with
reference TO the deductions -
taxes, rents. bonds. insurance.
household expenses and doctors
bills and the like.
The sum total left in the hands
of the war worker is often not
as great as that which remains
