Returned soldiers should work not be coddled says Richley
M A Richley who built a big plant in Toronto with returned soldiers advocates using veterans in construction. He recalls starting in February 1917 with a mix of amputees and shell shocked men, noting discipline and loyalty helped set a world construction record. He warns riots and unemployment arise when workers cannot keep pace or earn fair wages and urges government and employers to place veterans in suitable, permanent roles rather than charity jobs.
