PORTLAND MARKET REPORT

North Portland, Ore, Feb. 81, 1914.
Gentlemen: Receipts for the week
have been: Cattle, 1921; calves, 20;
hogs, 5434; sheep, 5264.
Cattle.
This week cattle trade showed a few
soft spots, but was generally good.
The big Monday run of steers clipped
about 10 cents off from prices. Since,
Monday the receipts have been light.
Butcher stock on the other hand was
firm throuhout. Best cows brought
$500 and S7.O5, bulls $500 and calves
$500. Killers have not been over
supplied on the stuff and the market
appears very steady.
Hogs.
Tops dropped back to $50 Thurs
day. which is Is cents under Mon
days prive % S8.S5. 1t is scarcely
probable that March receipts will be
on a par with February, but so many
unexpected things have occurred in the
swine market this year the dopesters
have gone to cover. Market steady
with outlook good.
Sheep.
Mutton and lamb prices hit the high
places this week. Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday were barren of re-
celpts, but Friday saved the week and
market from stagnation. Monday was
the big day and fat mutton or lambs
were attractive commodities. A few
$500 yearlings appeared in the run, I
old wethers sold "off cars" at $3.50,
ewes at $40 for tops, and $3.50 to
$4.65 in bulk featured. Lamb demand
excelled supply and the prime fat kind
found neasy outlet at $6.75.
The following sales are representa-
tive. -

man and job together" AS the New
York World observes:
Every summer our farmers suffer
for lack of help at high wages with
good board. Every winter our cities
fill with idle men, for some of whom
there is work if they knew where to
look for it. Humanity has no greater
task than that of cutting down season.

is one waiting him anywhere. After
this has been attended to, it will be
time for greater severity toward those
whose real ambition is to live without
working. Literary Digest.

BRINGING THE JOBLESS MAN TO
THE MANLESS JOB.

Tho the problem of the unemployed
this winter may seem 'to exist only in
a few populous cities" as an Eastern
paper AYERS, it is serious enough to en-
gage the attention not only of local
but of State and Federal officials. For
in New York the number of unem-
ployed has been estimated as high as
$4,000, while $4,000 men are said to
he out of work in Philadelphia, $4,000
in Newark, n. j., 5000 in Washington,
y. c., and large numbers in other cit
les. Counting Chicago, where the I'M
employed have thronged as never in
years." lie New York Sun thinks it
safe to say that our three chief cities
contain today some half million work
ers lacking their normal means to
gain living for themselves and their
dependents" Several dozen other cit
les have also become Ravens for the
"hard-pressed hunters of bread" adds
The Sun, and ito allow another half
million of idle hands, somewhat more
widely distributed, would be to reckon
the countrys unemployed at million.
This is in the neighborhood of one in
thirty among the producing part of
our normally busy population" Some
point out that many of these non
workers belong to trades in which
work is naturally slack or entirely
laid aside at this season; others are
of the opinion, which President Wilson
is said to share, that the reports are
being stretched" for political purpo-
SEES. However this may be, the situa-
ton is sufficiently serious to stir the
newly appointed Federal Industrial
Commission to undertake "an immed-
late investigation looking toward ac-
ton by the Federal Government to re-
live unemployment" During the next
few weeks, it is officially announced,
1.-the activities of four of the Commits
sion's investigators will be restricted
to rapid survey of unemployment in
the industrial centers from Boston to
Kansas City and a critical analysis of
public and private employment agen-
cies." The mayors of the larger cities
will be asked to help furnish data on
unemployment. The Commission re-
allies, says it's chairman, Mr. Frank
P. Walsh, chat present conditions in
the labor market are practically the
same as in every year at this season,
and that the problem is a permanent
one" AS one remedy for this perma-
nent condition, there will be gathered
material for the preparation of a
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1914-03-03

Secretary of the Interior Lane, one
of the biggest men which the west has
produced, has undertaken to put irri-
cation projects and ultimately irriga-
ton securities on a sound financial
basis by government aid. For working
out some feasible plan he has decided
to call together a conference of the
governors of the various states at Den
yer next month. Secretary Lane is a
pretty hard headed proposition and
has never been accused of being
flighty in his present capacity or
while member of the interstate COM
merce commission. If he figures that
government aid is practical, there is
but little question as to the outcome
of the conference. His standing with
the administration, too, is such that
the plan must surely have the sane
ton of President Wilson To build up
and foster the irrigation projects of
the west is a gigantic task and one
that will take millions, yet there is
not another plan that will do as much
to increase confidence in the west and
put not only a large amount of pri-
vate capital back into western circu-
lation, but place many poor and strug-
Cling farmers on their feet, who have
spent their all on land In some poorly

aggregation, saying that the situation
is serious, but not alarming" The
New York papers agree that an unduly
large proportion of New York's unem-
ployed belong elsewhere, having been
attracted from all parts of the country
Mayor Mitchell is one of those who is
thoroughly convinced that the city is
Confronted with a real problem of eX
cessive unemployment" He is impress
ed by the fact that the dodgers at the
municipal clearinghouse during Nov
ember, December, and January were
more than double the number in the
same period in the previous year, al
most exactly double the number of the
same period in 1911-12, and greater
by II 900 than in the same periods
in the two proceeding years combined"
He asks New York employers to
help out by "hving work done now
which they would ordinarily postpone
or let go altogether" The plan, ex-
plains the New York Evening World,
| lis to secure from all employment
agencies regular reports of jobs for
which they have no suitable appli-
cants. A central clearinghouse or in
| formation exchange will help all pri-
vate employment bureaus to bring men
and jobs together with the least pos
sible waste of either" The Mayor is
also considering the employment of
a permanent unemployed commission.
Other Eastern cities have been TAX
! ing similar steps, and in Boston the
Massachusetts Free Employment Blu
reau has found jobs for 81 900 appli-
cants. The recent SHOWS have given
temporary employment to thousands
| in the cities affected. The .doings of
| the "jobless armies" in the West were
discussed in a recent issue; the most
interesting development there is the
announcement that another "CoXey's
! Army" is being formed to march on
Washington.
Some do not believe that this winter
is really so much worse than it's pre-
decessors in this matter of unemploy-
ment. Those who do fail to agree as
to the reason, or frankly give it up.
Republican politicians are freely blam-
ing it all on Democratic sins, commit
ted or expected. A Democratic paper
the Newark On. j. Star, sees indus
trial enterprise flourishing, and has
mo doubt that the railroad companies,
by stopping improvements, throwing
| tens of thousands of men out of work,
are the principal cause of unemploy-
ment." Socialists tell us that high
tariff low tariff, or no tariff, curren-
cy reform or no currency reform, your
conditions are just the same and must
remain the same until the necessary
means of life are owned by those who
use them" Most non-Socialist papers,
however, agree that unemployment is

measure establishing a Federal bureau
to serve as a clearinghouse for public
and private agencies and to direct
movements of migratory workers"
Mr.. Walsh then pictures the seekers
of work in the manufacturing centers:
Groups numbering from 100 to
1000 stand outside our great indus
trial plants each morning at six o.
clock hoping the foreman will pull
them out of line and put them to work.
Poorly nourished and thinly clad,
these men gather each morning and
then may drift away to cheap saloons
or cheap lodging-houses to wait an
other chance.
None can see this spectacle without
realizing that it is something society
cannot afford to tolerate. An employ
err never thinks of laying off his book
keeper or clerk after employing him
three of four hours in day or three
or four days in a week.
"The problem of continuous en-
ployment for laborers is more diff
cult, but it is a problem that must be
solved if we are to check the increase
in our great army of hopeless, home
lessmen. If nothing else will avail,
it may be necessary to urge insurance
against Unemployment"
A little further light on the Com
missions plans is given by another
member, Mrs. ]. Borden Hartman:
"The greatest problem to be dealt
with in this connection is to provide
for men who are engaged in seasonal
occupations. Many men are engaged
in trades that keep them busy for sta
ted periods of the year. At other per-
iods they find it difficult to get en-
ployment along other lines.
Very promising is the movement in
which Louis D. Bradeis and others are
now engaged to do away so far as pos
sible with slack and rush seasons in
various trades. In New York some of
Jllc IldlIuldCluItIS nave dlIeduy Iuduc
progress toward continuous, all-the-
year-round operation, where before
their plants were idle during certain
months.
There will always remain industries
such as agriculture, numbering, and
construction work, in which thousands
of the men must be laid off each win
ter, The task of learning where these
laborers can be employed during the
winter season and of distributing this
information is one that Federal bu-
reau might we'll undertake."
Since it is impossible to do more
than estimate the number of men out
of work or do much more than guess
at the reasons for their lack of en-
ployment, it is obvious that the author
lies will differ. One New York expert
cuts $4,000 off Mr.. Walsh's estimate
of $4,000 jobless ones in the metrop-
oils, and another calls it monstrous

irrigation project. The sue
cessful carrying out of the plan should
have the means of creating greater
demand for western lands and the i'm
migration of large number from the
crowded centers of the east.

on the expectant hush OF great
crowd which filed the city block fell
the soft clear notes of a bugle call.
High up in the darkness blazed out a
huge star and then from somewhere
ABOVE the heads of the crowd came
the voice of a herald announcing
slowly and with impressive emphasis.
this message:
Now when Jesus was born in
Bethlehem of Judea in the days of
Herod, the king, behold there came
wise men from the east TO Jerusalem
saying: Where is He that is born
King of the Jews? for we have seen
His star in the east and have come
TO worship Him.
A long pause, again the bugle. and
the voice out OF the darkness con-
tinued:
When they had heard the King
they departed; and 10 the star which
they saw in the east went before
them till it stood over where the
young Child was.
when they saw the star, they re-
joiced with exceeding great joy"
Silence il Profound.
In the pause which followed the
silence was profound. Then again
came the voice saying:
And there were in the same
country shepherds abiding in the
field, keeping watch over their flock
by night.
And 10. the angel of the Lord
came upon them and the glory of the
Lord shOne round about them: and
they were sore afraid
And the angel said unto them.
Fear not for behold / bring You good
tidings of great JOY, which shall be
to all people.
For unto YOU is born today in
the city OF David a Savior which is
Christ. the Lord.
And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heavenly
host praising God and saying:
Glory to God in the highest and
on earth peace. good will TO men. -
As the message of good viii fell
