THE UNEMPLOYED.
A Plan to Relieve the Local Labor
Situation. s:
To the Editor Of The Star:

10 the koltOf Inc Staf.
| In behalf Of the unemployed men in
the city who need and want work. why
not start a registry where these men
can give their names and addresses?
This would be a means OF organizing
, and forming a system to relieve those
in the greatest need; l am not re. re.
laboring man does not want or need
charity; he wants work. mean a.
straight out and out registry for labor;
where men can have their names and
| addresses enrolled and not feel that
they are subjects for investigation.
Labor is about the most honorable
! thing any country ever produced. 1t is
! the running gear OF all governments.
From observation there seems to be a
lot of work to be done on the grounds
| in front of Union station. Must this
be delayed until all parcels OF land
from incumbrance? Why not set men
to work there?
There are many streets in we'll
builded parts of the city that have not
been paved. Why not pave them or
improve them to better condition
why not set men to work there?
There are vacant lots all over the
city that need cleaning up. Why not
have the property owners do 1t: why
not set men to work there?
| There are foot pavements or side
walks that need repairing and some
new ones needed. Why not set men
to work Mere?
Men need, work at all times Of the
year. but especially in the winter
season. for expenses are greater. fuel.
food and clothing cost more in the
winter than in the summer season. and
for this reason the greater effort should
be made to employ the unemployed.
| Every little helps. and with the
above system work could be distributed
so that all who desire to work could
have a chance to do so. and many be
tided over the most expensive months
of the year. where otherwise they
must turn to charity. p,
washington's charity is very gener-
Gus, but of those who give how many
stop to think how hard 1t must be
for man that wants work and can
not get it to accept charity? 1t be-
| Titles him in his own se'f-respect.
and for this reason let US all join in
giving him work. Better let charity
be put in work and the one who re-
ceives it duly earn it. It preserves
| the respect Of his family.
| Let us do as we would be done by
| in this matter. \. c. JENNINGS.
