AVERAGE MINER’S COTTAGE
DESCRIBED AS HGVEIH. MATTER FOR GRAVE CONCERN. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, September 2. Mr Walker, the president of the Trades Union Congress, presiding at the National Housing Conference, convened by Labour, said: “It is a matter for wave concern. that so many bouses which should be condemned and pulled down have been inhabited, because there is no other accommodation. It is dreadful to think of the refinements and luxuries permitted among the wlealthy -while the worketu are compelled to endure the discomforts associated with such hovels as the average miner’s cottage. I have read toilet saloons in London where patrons thing nothing of spending seven or eight guineas on shampoos and such tomfoolery. I read of women taking the best rooms and beds In hotels fo*• pampered .pet dogs.’.’
