'Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniininiiimiinimiiiiiii AUGUST 6 RED CROSS DAY AT THE OAKSEVERY CENT GOES TO RED CROSS GO! niiuiiiHiiiiiHintiiHiHiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinimiuiiHiii'g By Colonel 1. S. Desalt of the Canadian . . Army. One of the moat aerloua problems which Canada must face at the close of the Swar la the re-arrangement of our affairs Upon the basis of normal civil life, wlth4. , the- incidental question of labor unem ployment. . ; Labor cpndltlons In Canada today are, - in many respects, very similar to those which prevailed In the United States ' during- their Civil war and the recon struction period. . Our laboif conditions Immediately previous to th-j war had the same chaotic aspect. The, start of the war first brought depression In industry, followed by a rapid return in, the -demand for labor as manufacture of mu nitions and other war supplies extended, . and today in Canada there is little If any unemployment, and skilled labor Is In strong demand. At the close of the Civil war the United States had a population of about . 13,000,000. The Union army at the time of Lee's surrender numbered slightly more than 1.000,000. .It was estimated that another million men and women were employed in the northern states tat the manufacture of munitions. Durlncr the four year period of the Civil war Im migration had fallen off, and recruiting had depleted the workers on the farms, nd drawn largely from the laboring Classes In the cities. The call for muni tion workers was supplied from other branches of industry, with the result that ordinary enterprises were compelled to run short-handed or pay a high pre mium, for labor. Compared With War i Corrlpared with this situation we find Canada's army of about 400,000 drawn from a population of about 8,000,000. It Is estimated that some 200,000 men and women are now engaged in munition work, nly 12 per cent of our army, however, has been enlisted from the farms and more than half of the total has been recruited from among the killed and manual laborers. The com parison shows the same situation re garding the scarcity of labor for ordin ary enterprises, because of the drain through the army for overseas forces nd munition workers. ; During the Civil war period wages gradually increased. Trices of commodi ties also advanced. The laborer,, how ever, skilled and unskilled, was pTaitfedt I t disadvantage because his wages did not advance in proportion to the price of necessities. Even with this sit uation conditions were better among the mechanics and trades than anions; the cierics ana salaried people, whose ln come did not advance at all in propor tion to. the increased price of living. t vvnen me unwm army started to muster out. In 1865 at the rsite of about $00,000 per month for the (three sum mer months there was for a time a glut of the labor market. This was but temporary, however, as 1866 witnessed an active industrial and agricultural re vival. The' returning soldiers, a large percentage of whom had volunteered from the farming districts, went back to production or migrated to the home stead lands In the newly opened Mis sissippi Valley states. This wholesale homesteadlng brought demands for new railways ; more than 15,000 miles of rails were laid in the West during the five years directly following the war Thi. railway work took ut mianMti. labor from the Eastern centers and assisted io a marked degree the settlers who had gon.e Into the new country without sufficient funds to tide them through the breaking and growing sea aons of the first years. . Heed Por Farmers A general surrey of the labor sttaa ..n.Jn Canad Indicates that about 150.900 more men will be required after J?A.TWr Hi" "r now "ployed In Canada. This would about take care 'ivS. 1rPPort,on of returning soldiers which will require employment after the war. The problem thfn arises as to . what we win do with our munition aMirT" MUmated totJ of about 100.000 being employed In this work at present fully 75 per cent of which num ber will be called upon to find other employment when the war la over We will also have the problem of flnd lnr employment for those Immigrants seeking work, because It will be autl eult to restrict immigration to those who wish to engage in agriculture.- Our greatest need today Is more farmers and "... s"u'urai production, as will readily be recognized from the fact that our. population Is half urban and we Consume more than u , i ... i . nuuu, mere Will be great obDortunitv n .
