BEATING THE DEPRESSION
Much was said during the depression about a particular
locality in New England, where residents were able to swap
hack and forth from the farm and factory work. 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.
