New York Clty.-Suppose a parade
of the unemployed in Greater New
York should start from the Battery
to-day. How far uptown do you sup
pose its van would extend before the
last man wheeled into line? The an
swer vouched for by the noted charity
labor workers Of New York gives
Central Park at least unanimously,
or a distance Of about six miles.
Herman Robinson, general organ
izer of the American Federation OF
Labor, states that at least forty per
cent. of the members of the labor
unions in New York City are unem-
ployed. The latest report of the State
Department of Labor gives the men,
bership of labor unions in this city
as 100000. The present member
ship should be well above 10000,
but inability to pay dues has caused
more than 10000 union men to lose
their membership cards.
100000 Idle Union Men.
According to Mr.. Robinson there
would then be at least 10000 union
men out Of work in New York City.
OF homeless men and Migrants the
number is, under ordinary conditions,
about 10000. From such meagre
facts as may be collected the total
number of New York's unemployed is
more than 100000. Imagine such a
host-enough to populate a city al
most as large as Rochester.
That the cause of the astonishing
number out of work at the end of
1908 was not due to strikes or sick
ness. but rather to the depression Of
business. 1t is represented by the
following table:

A Stupendous Army.
Never in the history of any great
municipality has such a stupendous
army of unemployed been collected
at one time, according to the eco
nomic statisCians who have COM
DIled the above figures, and others,
for the information OF the legislators
at Albany.

Improving the Condition of the Poor
for the last six months is fifty per
cent. more than for the corresponding
months of a year ago. In three
months, November, December and
January, 900 able-bodied men, will
ing and anxious for work, came to
this society for aid. The year pre-
vious only nineteen such requests
were received.
Savings banks in the poorer section
Of the city report extraordinary
drafts in recent months. The actu-
airy of one Of the largest insurance
companies says:
Raise Cash on Policies.
"As compared with the season of
l9O7-190S, the loans for the season
of 19OS-1909 have increased thus far
over seventy per cent, while the num-
Der of lapsed policies increased TO
more than fifty per cent. The above
figures speak for themselves, and
prove conclusively that the holders
of smaller policies are terribly af-
fected by the present hard times"
This condition is general among in
.eurance coHpanios.

Methods Of Observation.

I'm that matter | have trusted not
only to my own observations; have
sought corroborative evidence as we'll
from those who are thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the lore Of the woods as they
have been able to gather 1t for them
selves rather than from books. / have
already given the testimony Of the Ber-
ing Sea fox breeders who find them
selves seriously hampered by the OBJ
sunate' devotion Of the male fox to one
wife. Then ask Indians whom meet
in the woods as to what they know on
the subject. For instance, question
ed recently an old fellow that met
in the Canadian woods.
Weasel asked him, did You ever
see foxes going along many together in
the woods?'
4" No. not many together
Did you ever see a fox travelling
