VENICE, April :. 1914.
Sightseeing in Venice has been fairly
reduced to system and there is small
danger of the newly come visitor miss
ing any of its featured spectacles. The
guides and gondolies and the CON
clerges at the hotels see to it that he
includes everything of interest or at
least is directed toward every possible
point worth d call. There is most ex-
ceiient system of exchanges here. to
insure thorough inspection, and it is
none the less admira Bile because of its
commercial aspect
One naturally heads at once for the
Piazza, where Venice centers. for there
is first OF all the wonderful church, with
its wealth of mosaics; and at one corner
Is the Campanile. which. while new. rep
resents effectively its ancient predeces-
sor, on the other side is the quaint old
clock tower. with its bronze men who
strike the hours. its twenty-four- hour
dial With one hand ana its Roman nu-
merals changing every five minutes.
Then the Ducal Palace and the prisons
are close at hand. and the arcaded build
inSs which flank the Piazza are impress
sive. And finally there are the pigeons,
always hungry, giving a good living to
the men who sell corn and peas to peo-
pie for their feeding and to the photog-
raphers who are ready to take the tour

him and ST. Marcos rich facade behind
him.
So there is plenty to see in the Piazza

UNEMPLOYMENT.
W.-PubIic Agencies.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

Government employment agencies fed
eral. state and municipal have been con
sidered as the mos: effective machinery
for thorough organization of the labor
market by a number of authorities OF
countries named. together with other
lands in Europe. more or less extensive
experiments have been made in the op-
Grafton of the public or free employment
office. The experiment in this country.
however. has not progressed far enough
to give any illustration of the part which
the public office might be made to take
in the solution of the problem of unem-
ployment.
A study of the usefulness of the public
employment agency is now being made
by the United States commission on in
dustrial relations. There are a number
of such Offices in the various states. the
records of whose activity Will serve as
material for the commissions investiga-
ton Free employment bureaus have been
established in fifteen states and free mu-
nicipa employment bureaus have been
established by several of the larger cities.
The records of the earliest of these Of
fees begin in 1899.
1t is less than score Of Years ago
that the people of this country first be-
gan to give a grudging recognition to
the existence of problem Of unemploy-
ment in good times and in bad. And il
is only recently that the average Amer:-
can has been brought to the conviction
that there are always large numbers of
employable persons who need work and
cannot get it. Out of this conviction have
come large number of inquiries into
conditions Of the labor market, of pr-
vate and governmental undertaking. ,
The question which has been put again
and again. and which 1t is still impos-
sible to answer with any great amount
of assurance on account of the scarcity
of all dependable data. is whether the
unemployed are so % because they are
unemployable. 90 because there is no
work to be had. or 60 because of NAL
adjustment of the labor market? That
there should be from 100000 to 100000
annually unemployed in New York be-
cause of unfitedness does not seem rea
sonabe. 1t is estimated that between
3,00O,Oo0 to 10O0,OOO suffer enforced idle
ness in this country each year. 1t is
not probable that any large percentage
of this great number are out of work
because they are unemployable. II is
still less probable that there are between
3.OO0,O0 to 7,O0O,OOO people too many in
the land. The assumption then. is justi-
fled that the problem of Unemployment
is largely a matter of maladjustment in
the innumerabe labor markets. 1t is
this last phase of the difficulty which the
public employment agency is designed to
relieve.

Following wave of industrial and
business depression in 1894 the German
government recognized the urgency of
taxing heroic measures for the relief of
the unemployed. Investigation of the
problem led to the growth of a move
ment for the gradual development of
thoroughly co-ordinated system of pub
lie employment bureaus. The problem
OF enforced fdlenesS was diagnosed as
! largely one of inefficient distribution of
labor. and the imperial government has
steadily pursued its course toward cor
rection of this condition. While the Ger
mans have not eliminated unemployment,
they have made greater progress to-
ward its solution than any other coun-
try. The empire now has more than 1OD

Disputes Over Treaties.

raising n serious obstacle TO the develop

countries OF South America. which are so
important to us on every ground. Those
reasons. which / think must also be very
weighty with the President. seem to me
not only sound but convincing.
There is no particular courage required
to insist upon passing our own shlps

DENIAL FROM V0LLMER
Tolls Vote Has Nothing to DO
with Withdrawal.

Washington, April 9.-While Andrew
Carnegie sat in a gallery as an applaud
ing listener, Representative Noilmer, an
Iowa Democrat, the newest" member OF
the House, arose angrily to n question OF
personal privilege to-day and denounced
a newspaper story that he would not run
for reelection because his vote for the
tolls repeal bill had been repudiated by
his constituents.
This article, appearing in New YORK
and n Washington newspaper both Wig
orously opposed to repeal, was charac-
terized as false by the indignant Iowa
man. The only sentence Of truth in IT, he
said. was that saying lie would not run
again. This decision, Mr.. Nollmer as
serted. had no relation whatever TO the
tolls question.
with the single exception OF the fact
that l am not seeking reelection, the
whole article is false" shouted Mr. Voll-
mer. IT have not received from anybody
in nv district single word Of disap-
proval of my vote or position on the tolls
question" said Mr.. Vollmer. This ar
ticle. / believe. is a part OF campaign
on the part Of certain newspapers TO dis
credit the repeal bill and those who voted
for il, and to represent falsely to the
public that tho country Is opposed 10 re-
peal and in favor OF free tolls

over the change OF Senator Penrose from

Mr.. Dimmick "or else his knowledge OF

CARNEGIE OPPOSES
ONE BRIDGE BILL
Visits Representative Adamson
to Talk Over Keokuk
Measure.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, April 9.--Andrew Carnegie
called on Chairman Adamson OF the
House Committee on Interstate and For
eign Commerce to-day to talk about a
bridge bill IN which he is interested. He
doesn't want another bridge built across
the river at Keokuk, Iowa.
The genial laird wasn't exactly lobby
ing. but he exercised his right TO be for
or against proposed legislation. The Car
negie Bridge Company has the sole
bridge now spanning the river at heokuk.
IT has stood for more than half cent
ury. Near by is dam, with broad top.
and the Inter-City Dam Company. backed
by citizens of keokuk wishes TO use the
top OF this dam as bridge for railway
and other traffic. a bill authorizing this
has passed the Senate and is pending
before the House committee, with a good
chance OF becoming law.
on leaving the House galleries Mr..
Carnegie said he was confident the tolls
repeal resolution would pass.
But only prayer will help some OF
these fellows opposing it." he added.
Mr.. Carnegie chatted few minutes
with President Wilson. He said he had
not discussed politics.
