THE CHIEF OF the Maryland bureau c f
industrial statistics has given his esti-
N ate of the number of persons unem-
ployed in Baltimore as 80, 900. Here is
the opportunity for General Coxey and
his fanatical lieutenants. Instead of
gathering from the West his army of
100000 unemployed for their march
upon Washington, let i'm set up lis
recruiting Office in Baltimore and gather
together the third of the number he
wants to make the impression upon
Congress. Only forty miles from the
Capitol, Baltimore's division of tho great
army could be marched by easy stages
with small part of the trouble it
would mean for the transportation of
the multitude from distant Western

timore's unfortunates are possessed of
too much common sense to think of
such movement with any seriousness
