Nobody except the children did much

many homeless men slept on the floors.

that the suffering of the poor is great

and that now is the time for the

NO ICE ON THE RIVER.
Northwest Gale Prevents Its Form
ing-Creeks Are Covered.

Though the weather last night was
as cold as it has been any time this
winter no ice formed on the river,
though the creeks about the city are
again frozen solid. That there is no
ice on the river is largely due to the
fact that the heavy northwest gale
prevented it forming and also because
the water in the river had been warmed
by the recent springlike weather Mas
ters of the river steamers arriving
here yesterday report the snowstorm
on the river to have extended prac-
tically its length and to have been so
thick and heavy that landmarks were
shut out from sight ana great care had
to be used in the navigation of their
craft. The steamers all arrived on
good time and no accidents are re-
ported.

GENERAL TRAINING TO AID
INDUSTRIES FOR WOMEN
Would Help Keep Them Regularly
Employed, Bureau of Labor
Statistics Says.

In Industrial training of Il general or
technical character SO that the adapti&
bility of the workers could be increased
lies, in a measure. the solution of the
problem of irregular employment in
the women's ready-to-wear industries,
according to a report on the regularity
Of employment made public today by
the bureau of labor statistics of the
Department of Labor.
In one of the branches of the indus
try it was found that one-tenth of the
employees had work for less than ten
weeks and less than one-fifth of those
actually employed in the course of a
year had work for as much as forty
weeks. Despite this irregularity the
Investigators found that employers had
given but scant attention to the mat
ter.
Repatriation of employment would,
according to the view of the govern
mental agents. result in better distrib-
utlon OF the overhead expense and con-
sequently decrease the cost of produce
ton. Seasonality of employment, it is
pointed out. means that wages in many
instances during the height of the sea-
son must be high enough to support
workers in comparative idleness during
slack periods. decided factor in in
creasing the cost of production and the
price at which the goods must be sold.
That considerable relief from the I'M
employment prevailing in these trades
can be secured by the systematic dove
failing of occupations in some of the
allied branches of the trade is evil
denced by the experience of number
of manufacturers found in the course
of the investigation. Dovetailing, as
found In these establishments, con-
sisted In utilizing the employees during
the dull seasons of the year for the
manufacture of garments of a simpler
variety than the line ordinarily pro-
duced. such that a garment worker of
average experience could easily adjust
himself at short notice.

of the bitterest sarcasm on the subject
