THE UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM

The United States Commission on
Industrial Relations has just made pub
lie a scheme for national legislation
to wipe out the prevailing conditions
in the country's labor market. thus
striking a blow at the evils OF unem-
ployment The proposed legislation
would establish n national bureau of
labor legislation in connection with
the Department OF Labor. with a cen
trail Office in Washington and branch
Offices in other cities and clearing
house for each OF several districts
into which the country would be di-
vided. The bureau would have power
to establish and conduct free public
employment Offices.
The national bureau would have ju-
risdiction over all private employment
Offices doing an interstate business
or accepting workmen for shipment
20 other states. State. municipal and
private employment Offices would be
urged to cooperate with the national
bureau and TO adopt uniform methods
and regulations
Perhaps the most interesting foa-
ture Of the plan is the proposal for
the appointment Of an advisory coun-
al for the national bureau and for
each Of the clearing houses. II would
be composed Of an equal number Of
representatives, Of employers and Of
employees. and would assist the direct.
or IN al matters pertaining 10 the

THE IRON AND STEEL BLIGHT.

The lntelligencer some time ago
referred to the enforced idleness of
workingmen in this city and the coun.
try. and that the iron and steel in
dustrial establishments had been sub
jected to fitful activity and running
only so to 60 per cent. of capacity.
II pointed out also that whatever
there was left of a former prosperity
that had been promoted under the pro
tective tarin was wholly sporadic. and
that the general lack OF business con.
hdence and fear OF embarrassing Dem.
ocrauc legislation was working to-
wards depressing commercial and in.
dustrial conditions. At that time the
Democratic press and other preju-
diced interests bitterly attacked the
statements Of The Intelligencer. but
furnished no contradictory proofs.

SOMETHING TO THE POINT.

We have had a surfeit OF the fem
mist movement and the preachments
OF its oracles. which have tended 20
break up the home rather than mend
IL. II is refreshing. therefore. that we
hear OF a German woman who offers
something more practical in the con
duct OF the American household. She
has opened a school in New York in
which she purposes. in a six-months
term. to make women proficient in the
art OF housekeeping. According to the
published plans of the school. the
graduate will know how TO scrub.
wash and iron; how to do scientific
marketing: how to be something OF a
trained nurse: how to do small jobs
and repairs around the house. such
as mending a broken door knob. To-
eating a leak in the water or gas
pipes. putting up a shelf. hanging a
picture and various other such mat.
tiers which confront the busy house.
wife from time to time. The gradu.
ate will know. above all things. how
to avoid that frightful waste in Amer.
lean households which you never see
in German homes"
There were many mothers in the
good old-fashioned days who could do
all Of the things mentioned in the
above curriculum; some few survive,
but. like angels visits. they are few
and far between. The old.fashioned
mother was not only an efficient
nurse. but she was something of a
doctor. Her ounce of prevention in
many cases often discounted the ply
sicians' bill and the drug store
charges. There is no reason why she
should not be revived to-day. and the
establishment of the New York school
seems to point a way for her recrudes
cence. Anyhow. this German apostle
of proficiency in housekeeping is
worth a dozen OF Mrs. Gilmans, who
IS advocating a refined laziness in the
career of the real head and maker OF
the American home.
