in touch with and interested in the
work of the Department of Later ia
stimulating public construction work.
Governor Frazier of North Dakota
advise the Division of Public Works
-nd Coecirucfioii Developments his
States now proposes “a permanent
industrial commission shall under
take a procram -f public works: and
of States industries together with a
special drive for home building and
farm improvement" Governor Wi
thyc-.-mbe of Oregon writes that his
State has a comprebettsive road build
sag pro-tram for this season which
will empIoy thirty-eight hundred men
In all States where legislatures now
are to session the subject of expedit
ing public work and encouraging
private building is belez discussed,
special attention being given to the
possibilities of the public work as a
-timuius to industry ana its .effect
on the labor situation.
Ia his message to the California
kgisiatare. Governor Stephens em
phasized the importance of immedi
ate work on public undertakings ia
the following language.
"immediate employment for our
returning men may be provided by
pushing toward with utmost speed,
the completion of the State highways
for which the people already have
voted hoods. On this necessary
work employment can be found for
-very California soldier who does not
secure work immediately upon his
return.”
Wi-Js reports from industrial cent
ers showing as increase in the labor
surplus, tie^Departmest of Lai»r sab
aaits it is prudent for States and
municilpalities to be devising a way
to do, w^at Governor Stephens says
road building will do in California
provide employment for every soldi
er until industry gets back to nor
I m*I.
Hoc. Ernest Lister. GovetStor of
Washington, in^hts message to the
State legislature m«de a statement
of th^ industrial problem which is
very similar to the representations
now being made by the U. S. De
partment of Labor. .He said:..
■•The problem of readjustment has
been discussed by many persons sole
iy ou the basis of providing properly
j for and furnishing employment to the
returning soldier. That portion of
the problem involves our sense of
honor. It is imperative and primary,
and must have first attention. But
, the twinging about of such a result
is only a partial solution of the
whole problem of national welfare.
In addition to approximately 4,5#fi
; 000 men who entered the military
and naval establishments proper,
there are many additional millions
who became a part of the great war
time Industrial army engaged in the
manufacture of arms ammunition,
clothing and in countless other lines
of war activity. Many of the plants
engaged in such production have al
ready closed downtothers have ma
terially reduced their working forces
■ For the future well-being of our
Slate and Xation it is absolutely
ossentlal that* those who were cm
' ployed in war industries ^nd are oow
or will soon be without employment,
be promptly provided for.
: uniform were promised the return of
■ their positions, by their employes,
■ upon their discharge from the army
Those promises should not new be
forgotten, nor ought we to overlook
the fact, in keeping them, that many
Persons who filled the positions dur
ing the absence of the soldiers, will
; presently find thra;selves out of em
ployment.
—Speaking from the standpoint of
the State. I -helipve it is on? duty and
responsibility so to adjust conditions
that there will be employment avail
able in the State for every ablebodi
ed persons willing to accept it.
“All of the responsibilty^or fur
^ nieh employment should not be shov
ed over upon the government agen
cies. It is true that h^tioc. State,
| counties, municipalities and other
greatly in handling the problem.
Bat it is equally true that the in
vestor who had contemplated the
’ erection of a business building, the
individual who has desired to erect
' a new residence, the manufacturer
who intended improvements in his
factory, all of whose plans delayed
by war conditions, ought now quick
ly to so arrange their affair* that
they may proceed with thes*- con
templated improvements and thus aid
in providing employment for those
who desire and need it. I sincerely
hope our people will not overlook
this individual responsibility. They
should not expect the entire problem
to be worked out through public im
provements that may be undertaken,
for if this be the case the tithe will
c-ame when public work will cease
and the labor problem will remain
Unsolved.”
The attention ot school authorities
all over the country should be called
to the widespread and secret cus
tom among the Socialists and Bcl
shevilefets. to’ teach their pernicious
doctrines in the social settlement
and forum work in school houses.
