THE LABOR MARKET.

The labor market In any community la good or bad according to

living conditions in that community The members of. the Hammond Manu

facturers' Association who are so

perplexed with the question of get

ting laborers Bhould take this Into

consideration.

The Importance of having a good . labor market was best shown when

it is remembered that it was the big

' obstacle that had to be overcome before the Baldwin Locomotive Works

would purchase a site in this region

What are labor conditions now!

1. The laborer is compelled to cav at least $10 a month rent and

some pay $12 and $15. The ac

a comodations afforded at tne btanaara

Steel Car nlant "company houses'

are poor and the rent charged is ex

orbitant.

2. The laborer gets about the same wage here as in other parts of

the country. When there is a great

demand for men, as at present, higher scale of wages obtains.

3. The cost of living in the Calu

region is higher than in Chicago; it

Is higher than in the down county

towns, It is higher than any other

place in the middle west.

4. Work Is plentiful and there

are very few Idle periods.

How may labor conditions be lm

proved?

1. By the establishment of a real city market. Not an experimental

proposition. By inducing an expert

enced commission merchant to locate

here and if necessary organizing

company to build a cold storage warehouse. Then produce may be

shipped to Hammond direct and not by way of Chicago. By encouraging truck farmers to raise produce for

home and not foreign consumption

By the extension of interurban lines! to facilitate traffic between town and country. , 2. By making it possible for thrifty workingmen to own their own homes. This means that transportation must be provided from the factory to lots that will sell for $100 a-piece. 3. Abolish the tenement. It is vicious, makes the worklngman dependent, destroys ambition and creates an atmosphere of vlclousness in which it is almost criminal to raise children. 4. It was a mistake in city building to locate the Standard Steel Car company in its present location.

, Property values are so high that only tbe workingmen who are well off can

afford to buy.

E. As a matter of city building

the foreign settlement should be re

moved from the Standard district and a new one created in West Hammond

where there are hundreds of lots that

can be purchased for $100 each.

6. The idea of F. S. BeU, one of ! - the best that has ever been advanced, : that homes for workingmen should

be built on the unit plan like

; ernecke book case, solves the

problem of homes for workingmen

spare time.

Firemen are called upon to .work

hard for brief times; in their leisure moments they have opportunity for self-improvement or for useful and

profitable work. There are other oc

cupations in which spare hours can

profitably be employed. Many a man confined to a desk for the greater part of the day finds pleasure as well as profit in gardening. City gardens

for those who have small Incomes hae proved profitable in Chicago as in othar cities.

No one should be too sanguine

about gardening; it cannot be made

a success without doing the right thing at the right time and having the time in which to do it. Spasmodic

gardening means failure, but for those who have the time, the inclination and the opportunity to indulge in it properly there are substantial rewards of health, pleasure and profit. Chicago Record-Herald.
