terday afternoon with Mr. Timothy
Healy. president of the International
Brotherhood OF Stationary Firemen. ne
expressed great interest in the idea.
solving the problem OF the unemployed
is taking up much Of the time of the
labor leaders in New York at THIS time.
according to Mr. Healy. and. in his esti-
nation. they will gladly welcome any
EFFORT on the part Of the government OF
the United States to alleviate the situa.
ton.
Mr.. James L. Feeney. president of the
Bookbinders Union, was one of the
local labor leaders whom Rev. Eilles
and Mr.. Farnsworth conferred with
yesterday. He was also impressed with
the idea that the proposed school for
the unemployed. IL 1T could be success
toward helping to solve the problem OF
the idle workmen. Mr.. Feeney explain
ed that he stood with Mr. Heaiy in sup
port Of any effort that will go toward
the interests of the laboring
man.
Views Of an Educator.
His attention was also called to a re-
cent statement from f.. A. Sutherland,
who has charge Of the National Agricul-
tural and Normal Institute at Madison.
Tenn. In this statement Mr. Sutherland
says: "Our experience has been good.
We are making steady progress and those
things that were experiments two years
ago are now demonstrated facts. We do
not need to walk by faith concerning
them. am satisfied that the coming
school will have to adapt itself to the
principles that underlie the education
where the entire man Is trained.
Schools that continue to adhere to the
oil ideas will share the same fate that
has been experienced by men and insti-
tuticns that refuse to recognize neces-
will turn out a class of men who will be
arc trained in a school that does not ap-
preciate practical education.
Rev. John Ellis. national secretary OF
the unemployed at st. Louis, last night
talked OF the proposed plan to establish
the school. After a thorough discus
sion of the plan with Mr.. Farnsworth,''
he said Il approve of the work. First. be-
cause it win afford an industrial -oppor-
tunity TO many men. In the second place.
a little scientific knowledge of agricul-
ture will soon quicken the interest and
enthusiasm 81 men of the city type OF
mind for farm and country life. Thirdly,
1t would transform unskilled men into a
trained class of agricultural workers who
would be hailed with delight by the farm
ers and who would probably try to be-
come farm owners themselves. In the
fourth place, it would save the American
at the hands of a vast army OF unor-
8anized and unemployed men
THE self-supporting agricultural school
plan near cities will tend to correct the
city habit and wake a love for agricul-
tural life. not only among this class. but
also among clerks, factory folks. strug-
CLING professional men. and others who
are forced out OF employment.

PROBLEM OF THE UNEMPLOYED
PROJECT TO PROVIDE MEANS
OF LIVELIHOOD.
Secretary Wilson to Be Asked to
Take the Initiative-The
Plan Suggested.

The que stion of securing work for the
great armies of the unemployed Of the
large cities, it is stated, is to be brought
squareIy before Secretary Wilson of the
Department of Agriculture within short
time with the recommendation that he do
all in his power to have the federal
governpent establish an experimental
farm. Seth Farnsworth of Chicago. who
has interested himself in the case of the
unemployed, has arrived in the city and is
preparing to PLACE before the Secretary of
Agriculture many reasons why he should
see that the government backs the effort
to solve the problem Of the idle men of
the cities.
Together with Rev. John Ellis, who is
also in the city representing the recent
st. Louis convention of idle men who are
looking to the government to do some
thing to aid them, Mr.. Farnsworth hopes
to interest the officials OF the country,
from the President down, in the project
The administration, il is stated. is con-
cerned over conditions existing in many
sections Of the country. notably in the
large cities. and intends. it is stated, to
address itself to the task OF investigating
the problem. In this way II is hoped
much of the distress among the working
men Of the country may be greatly re-
lieved.
What We want to do in this country to
alleviate the situation is to educate TIC
idle workingman in the pursuit of agri-
culture" said Mr.. FarnSworth yesterday.
You hear much throughout the country
of farmers who cannot get farm hands.
From these stories one would suppose that
all workingman of the cities would have
to do would be to call upon the farmer
and offer his services in order to secure
employment But In the case of those
skilled in machinery or other of the trades
this cannot oe tue.
They know nothing of agriculture and
when they apply to the farmer are turned
away because they know nothing of the
work of the farm"
Government Should Act.
Mr.. Farnsworth then explained that
the government should at once establish
farm where honest workingmen out of
employment may be able to come and
receive instruction in the art of hus-
bandry and i'm, several months be able
to go forth into the world qualified to
take up the work in the fields until they
may again take up their regular voca-
tions in life.
For a starting point in this effort to,
establish farm for the extension of
this proposed high-class agricultural edu-
cation Mr.. Farnsworth calls attention to
the jO0-a0fe tract of land owned by the
Department of Agriculture in Alexandria
county, Va. which tract. he says, is an
ideal location for an Inauguration of the
work to solve tlfe question of helping the
unemployed.
When the question was discussed yes
