A MILLION MEN OUT
OF WORK

1t is a serious matter if there
are, as stated. "a million men out
of work in the United States to-
day, and a hundred thousand men
starving and private and public
agencies all over the country are
again at work on this everrecur-
ring and battling problem. Every
section tells the same story. A
man writes to the unemployment
committee of the Washington
State Federation of Labor: In
over thirty years of working
experience, / have never seen the
like, when a man who is willing
and anxious and capable of doing
work satisfactorily, can not even
get a chance tho one may look his
eyes out of his head for such a
happy opportunity. Because the
work is not there" In Chicago,

and other cities, similar stories
may be heard. Judge Gary, whom

New York Times quite heartily
approves, explaining that the
labor laws passed by the influence
of the unions. enacting conditions
of employment unacceptable to
wage payers, are one chief cause
of idleness. restitution, and UNI
rest. 7
In report which wins the
praise Of the Springfield Repub-
lican, Secretary Wilson of the
Department Of labor recommends
q nationwide plan to handle the
problem IN d large way and bring
the 'jobless man" 10 the man
less job. : wherever found. Then,
With seasonal variations of
employment nationally adjusted.
with accidental disturbances to
employment nationally provided
for, with individual delinqueneies
in respect Of employment better
understood BY national public
opinion, and with such ameliora-
tons of industrial distress as this
department is now preparing to
offer, q right beginning will have
been made. "
By another plan the Govern
ment. says DR.. Charles r. Stein
metz, chief consulting engineer
of the General Electric Company,
could and should stabilize the
labor-supply. For instance, pub
lie projects like highways. water
ways. conservation schemes, pro-
tecion from floods. and irrigation
works could easily, be worked
upon internationally without eco
nomic loss. When it became
clear that from any cause the
general supply of labor through
out the country was greatly in
excess of the private demand, the
Government should begin to
absorb the worknlen for employ
ment on the national undertake
ings already sanctioned. /" And
DIR. Steinmetz has a still more
interesting suggestion, calling for
new sort Of citizen soldiers: =
What objection could there be
to the Government allowing men
to enlist for three or four months
training at any time when the
demand for labor had fallen to a
point threatening serious un-
employment?
The men so enlisted would be
getting valuable instruction, their
health would be improved by the
experience, they would be draw
ing wages, they would not be a
drag upon production through be-
ing unemployed.
In the course of time this me-
thod would provide the country
with a splendid military reserve
which could easily be brought up
to point of war efficiency.
