Laborers em ploye«! in the factories, mostly small home factories, were given a certain period in which to perform the factory work, after which the factories were dose«! down ami the laborer could farm or garden. The arrangement, it was said worked very well ami en abled the particular communities to emerge from the depres sion in a much better condition than the neighboring communi ties. \\ ith the present setup here, it looks like the same plan might work out very well for this section of the state, with the proper cooperation between the lumber industry and labor. The plan that worked so well during the depression might work just as well in normal times and is pitched on a basis to increase the earning capacity of the worker. n iA n i.r .i W. E.
