HOUSING PROBLEM.
A PICTURE OF CONTRASTS. By Telegraph—Press Assn.— Copyright. London, Sept. 3. Mr. Walker, president of the Trades Union Congress, presiding at the National Housing Conference, convened by Labor, said: “It is a matter for grave concern that so many houses, which should be condemned and pulled down, have to be inhabited because there is no other accommodation. It is dreadful to think of the refinements and Inj - uries permitted among the wealthy, while the workers are compelled to endure the discomforts associated with such hovels as the average miner’s cottaee. C ’l read of toilet saloons in London, where the patrons think nothing of spending seven or eight guineas on shampoos and such tomfoolery. I read of women taking the best rooms and beds in hotels for pampered pet dogs. ’
