This article focuses on social conditions of the U.S. Texas is suffering from an attack of bank robbery. Small banks do not feel safe at night, and even large banks in. the cities have found themselves looking into the muzzles of revolvers in broad daylight. As a remedy for this unfortunate state of affairs the Texas Bankers' Association offers a standing reward of $5,000 for each dead, bank robber, killed while in the act of robbing a member bank in Texas. The American industry as seen from the other side of the world is highly successful in production but less so in human values for the workers. In the emphasis laid upon this, the report of the Australian labor delegation which visited the United States last year differs from that of most European observers.
