WILSON TO TAKE
CENSUS OF JObLESS
PRESIDENTS ADVISORS BELIEVE
CONDITIONS OF UNEMPLOY-
MENT EXAGGERATED.
WILL HOLD INVESTIGATION
Secretary Of Labor Intrusted With
Duty Of Making Inquiry Into
Present Conditions.

Washington.-The Wilson Admins
tration has decided to get at the bot
tom of the statements that there is a
widespread condition of unemployment
In the country. Some of the Presi-
dents advisers contend that the situa-
ton is not as represented, and they
believe that something should be done
to counteract what they regard as a
false impression that has been created
largely, in their opinion, for political
purposes. The representations made
to the President in this connection
have had their effect, and it has been
determined to make an investigation
to ascertain the facts.
To the Secretary of Labor has been
intrusted the duty of conducting the
inquiry, and he has decided to begin
work in New York City, where con-
ditions of unemployment are repre-
scented to be worse than at any time in
the Nations history. The Secretary
of Labor will ask the New York auth
critics to instruct the police, in con-
junction with the work of taking the
city census this year, to ascertain the
number Of persons unemployed in
New York City.
If such an arrangement cannot be
made, the Department of Labor will
send an additional force of agents to
New York to do the work as well as
they can. These agents will endeavor
to check up on the figures furnished
by the police, and in that way seek
to determine the situation as accu-
rately as possible, in the absence of
an adequate force of Government emu
merators.
