Labor Secretary Has Plan.
1t is customary when the problem of
unemployment reaches the public ear
and sympathy to suggest as a relief
measure increased activity In public
works. There Is seldom a counter sug-
gestion to investigate public works to
see how far they are the cause Of this
unemployment.
Secretary Wilson. of the Department OF
Labor, has recommended i nation wide
plan to handle the problem OF the unem-
ployed in a large way in which he says:
with seasonable variations of employ
ment nationally adjusted. with accidental
disturbances to employment13natl
provided for. with individual delinquencies
in respect OF employment better under
stood by national public opinion. and
with such amelioration of industrial
distress as this department is now pre-
pairing, to offer. right beginning VIII
have been made"
Considering the immobility OF labor. II
the report read: With seasonal varia-
tons of employment locally adjusted.
with accidental disturbances to employ
ment locally provided for. ETC." a more
immediate answer to the problem would
be found. Admittedly when local indus
tries must cease their operations. solu-
ton must be found in a greater mobility
Of labor but in Washington the indus
tries are relatively few and occupation
l.; found in other lines.
Great seasonal variations come about
directly or ir directly through the de-
mand of the government for labor and
materials, as also through loca! building
activities which. reGretably. are gener-
ally suspended during the winter months.
The Chamber of Commerce. headed by its
active president. =. T. Moran. Is en-
deavoring to correct this latter periodic
and largely unnecessary fuctuation.

BY FRANCIS ". COUGHLIN,

When the Federal government ap-
propriates a billion dollars during a
fiscal year there comes to mind a dozen
armies of government employees: the
postoffice force. soldiers and sailors,
workmen on the Panama Canal and in
ternal improvements. revenue coIIec-
tors. builders of Federal offices. light
house and life saving service men. gov
eminent printers, treasury workers,
navy yard employees. geologic and geo
detic surveyors. forest rangers. recla-
nation workers and so on through the
various departments. 1t is an immense
business. this handling of a billion dol
lars yearly. BY it the Federal govern
ment becomes a factor in the labor
market. and il is such a factor wheth-
er II buys brain or Drawn.
In the activities outlined il is easily
seen that Drawn by no means plays
the lesser role. Again labor or ma
terial may be purchased with this bill

Senator Wesley l. JONES. of WASH

speeches this summer throughout his sec

better way to let the American people

Florida. has been asked to address the
boards of trade of several of the cities
