Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Symposium on War Housing: Held Under the Auspices of the National Housing Association, February 25, 1918, Philadelphia On the question of temporary and permanent housing, I should like to repeat much of what I wrote to the President on the 23d of January last. It is the testimony of the shipbuilders and the big gun manufacturers that skilled labor cannot be held long in temporary quarters, and that the days output of middle-aged, skilled men is curtailed by barrack living and separation from their families. The turnover, the record of attendance and the day´s record of accomplishment are ample evidence that the production of ships and munitions is directly dependent on living conditions, i.e., houses. Plant equipment and raw material will not produce ships and guns unless enough labor can be hired and held. Practically every plant is operating at low efficiency because the men cannot be held. They cannot be held because they cannot secure homes. In this the statements of employers and employees agree. The problem of producing ships and guns, in so far as it is dependent on housing, is two-fold. 1. Need for temporary houses. 2. Need for permanent houses. This is determined by: First - The probable permanent need for labor after the war. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
