The Unemployed Labor of the Country

A useful piece Of work has just boon ac
complishcd by the Massachusetts Bureau
OF Statistics. Toward the end of last June
circular letters were sent by tho chief Of
the bureau to the assessors of every town
in the State, asking for II careful estimate
Of the number of skilled workmcn In me-
chanical AMI manufacturing Industries, as
well 10 of the number Of unskilcd labOrcrs,
out Of employment in each town on Juno /.
The cities were also carefully canvasscd.
Answers were received from 1916 towns,
leaving 81 to be heard from, which, in the
aggregate however, contain n population
Of but 77.lj9 out of the entire population Of
1.65A9l2 in the State. From the terms of
the circular also the failure to get answers
from these towns may reasonably toe as
summed to imply that little or no unemployed
labor exists in them, so that the nforma-
ton acquired 10y the bureau is practically
complete.
The result 81 the whole inquiry il that in
the 10 cities 81 the state there are uncm-
pluycd 44l1 skilled and 1895 unskilcd la
horcrs. and in the 325 towns i,l2O skilled and
1851 unskillcd laborors. The number of I'M
employed males amounts, therefore, IN the
entire state. So far as heard from. to 2l,sl2.
Adding 80 per cent. for females. which. ac-
cording TO the last census. is the relative
proportion of the sexes engaged in indus
trial pursuits. brings the number up to
s.5Gs. This includes some 5000 operatives
in Fall River, where several large MILLS were
| closed in consequence 81 the rascaltics of
their officers and are now running again.
Assuming, however. that the number Of
| the unemployed in Massachusetts l. actu-
! ally 2s.Jls. or two per cent. Of the pupula-
tiou. and that this is n fair average oi the
| whole country. then, out Of the 49,OoO.0OO in

Guilty whatever in restoring tho fish to at
