[39] This differentiation is more pronounced in the United States, since
the work has been extended here more than in other countries.

[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.

[48] These exceptions are certain of the lower class hotels where
attempts along this line seem to fail.
