[39] This differentiation is more pronounced in the United States, since the work has been extended here more than in other countries. [40] For adverse criticism see "The Social Relief Work of the S. A.," p. 9. [41] At the Burne St. Shelter, the largest in London, one large dormitory has 288 beds and another 265. [42] For rooms, special rates are given by the week; from some of the examples given at the end of this chapter, it will be seen that these are occupied by men with partial or poorly paid employment. [43] In London, the Army has a mattress factory which supplies its institutions. [44] More headway is being made in this direction in the Industrial Homes where the population is more permanent. We found in one home in Chicago that the men were organized in the form of a club, and enjoyed social meetings together. Also, at the largest Industrial Home in London, called "The Spa Road Elevator," we found a regular cricket club organized which played cricket games with other clubs. [45] Good examples of this are to be found in the Middlesex Street Hotel and the Burne Street Hotel, London. The former hotel is regularly provided, by a large baker firm, with food, which is one day stale, for a very low figure. [46] The higher class hotel for women is to be found in Los Angeles and Boston. [47] From an interview with a leading officer. [48] These exceptions are certain of the lower class hotels where attempts along this line seem to fail. [49] See "How the Other Half Lives," Ch. VIII. See also "Social Relief Work of the S. A.," p. 10. [50] See examples given at the end of this chapter, p. 77. [51] See the tables, pp. 97 and 98, showing percentages of these men who had come from the country. For the work of Mr. Fox see p. 113. [52] See examples of these men, p. 77 fl. [53] See Giddings' "Principles of Sociology," p. 127. [54] Some light may be thrown on this subject by a perusal of Mr. W. H. Dawson's book entitled "The German Workman," alt
