RELEASE FIRST MEN WITH JOBS
Expert Says It Is Only Way to Avoid
Unemployment

assistant Director General, U. 6. EN-
ployment Service, Dept. Of Labor,
in an Interview With Fred
erick M. Kerby)
New York, Jan. 1S.-A change must
be made in methods of rehabilitation
If we want to avoid sight Of stranded,
workless, moneyless soldiers.
In little over a month, about 500,-
900 men have been discharged from
camp in this country. Thousands hav )
been brought back from France. Or
ders issued provide for discharge OF
nearly million men as fast as pos
sible.
The Department Of Labor receives
weekly reports OF changes In local
conditions due to cancellation of war
contracts and army demobilisation
from nearly 500 officers.
When the armistice was signed
large shortages Of labor existed every
where throughout the United States
Recent telegraphic reports from all
industrial cities showed a shortage OF
labor in only 20 places, practical
equality of supply and demand in SO,
and unemployment in 80. Twenty
three industrial centers. which three
weeks ago showed an equality Of la
Dor supply and demand, now show
unemployment.
The percentage OF excess of jobs
over applicants )has fallen in five
weeks from 167 to go.
Some employers with war contracts
cancelled or to be cancelled are re
leasing labor gradually. Others have
selfishly gone ahead full tilt as far
as orders would permit, then run
head on into a sudden cessation oil
work and appeal for the taxpayers
money to enable them to continue use,
less and wagteful production.
In either case the release OF muni
tion workers on a large scale is only
just now beginning. It's full effeci
will be largely apparent during thi;
month-in mid-winter when outdoor
jobs are scarce.
And we have only just attained
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1919-01-18

speed In soldier rehabilitation, too.
We have approached close TO the
saturation point of labor at time
when the release of men on a large
scale has just begun and Is about 70
continue with increased velocity.
For this situation there are two DOS
sible remedies.
The first is rapid increase In in
dustrial activity. AS soon as this be-
comes the dangers of any consider
able unemployment will be over.
But what II the outburst Of indus
trial activity continues for several
months to hang fire?
Then II unemployment misery and
social unrest are to be avoided. chang
es will have to be made In our meth
eds of rehabilitation.
There Is demand for certain work.
ers, notably in skilled trades.
In some spots there is considerable
demand for common laborers. Almost
everywhere there Is q surplus Of ap.
plicants in clerical positions and for
most lines Of construction work.
/. The army is being demobilizej now
almost wholly on the basis Of mill
tary units. In each squad OF men re
leased are some who have positions
open. and there are others not now
needed. Among units which will no.
be discharged for several months are
men whose positions are awaiting
them, whose retention in the army
retards development OF normal indus
trial life.
II rehabilitation could proceed
with these men first. holding back the
jobless until the last, instead Of hold
ing back thousands who are needed
and the releasing of thousands who
are not rehabilitation could 90 on
with equal rapidity and the great dan
ger of unemployment be reduced to
minimum.

Cattle Dipping In Polk,
DeSOtO and HillSbOrOugh
rCM
Not to Begin Until Spring

lay until the entire zone can be
worked as one unit, while others
wanted to begin systematic work in
Polk and Hillsborough counties the
first of March. Everyone was anx-
ious to get rid Of the ticks at the ear
liest possible moment.
Reports of Federal government iu-
spectors showed that Polk county has
flfty-three dipping watts and needs at
least seventy-eight for systematic dip
ping. Hillsborough county has fifty.
seven dipping watts and needs seven
ty-five. Chairman Yates Of the Hills.
borough county board said this coun-
ty could finance the campaign this
year and would be ready by March
If surrounding counties could be in
cluded IN the work, but II not includ-
ed, Hillsborough would prefer to wait
and work with the others, owing to
the extensive boundary line which Is
largely in open range and hard to
protect from drifting cattle.
vats Not Vet Completed
When the Polk County commission.
ers decided that they could not pos
sibly get their vats completed in
time, and cattIemen from Manatee
county reported that their vats would
not be completed, although now con-
tracted for, the Federal and state Of
fcials agreed to delay starting sys-
tematic work until next season, al
though emphasizing the necessity for
completing the necessary dipping
watts as soon as possible in order that
the cattlemen may have the oppor-
tunity to use them this season.
Every cattleman present said he
had been dipping cattle voluntarily
for several months, wherever dipping
vats are convenient to his cattle on
the ranges. Tom Lykes stated his
firm put in twelve dipping vats last
year where county vats were not
available In counties where their
stock range.
Among the members of the legisla-
ture present were George w. Wilder.
of Plant City, speaker of the house;
y. NJ. Keen, of Lakeland, and R. o.
Williams, of Fort Meade. Each one
told of the unanimous sentiment ex-
pressed in favor of a statewide com.
pulsory dipping law at the special
session, and how hard 1t was to keep
them from passing a bill ct that time.
They assured the cattlemen that one
will be passed at the regular session,
to become operative by March, 1920.
A special act is proposed to authorize
counties short of funds to issue time
warrants for cost of the work, where
the regular millage will not be suffi-
cient.

BERLIN REVOLUTION OF 70
YEARS AGO Is RECALLED

Berlin, Jan. 1S.-Berlin 70 years
ago saw street fighting Of much the
same type that prevails In Berlin
now.
Only 70 years ago it was democracy
fighting royalty.
From France the spirit of revolt
had spread to the German people.
Revolutionary meetings we're being
held throughout the city, closely
watched by the police, but without ac-
tual interference.
A delegation waited or King

urging reforms, and proclamations
granting freedom of the press and
promising other reforms were pre-.
pared.
On the 18th, when the crowds had
gathered in front of the royal palace,
and the troops were drawn up on all
sides, the king announced from a
balcony the reforms had been grant.
ed. Then suddenly two shots were
fred.
I'VE are betrayed" the people
cried, and began to attack the SOL
diers. Pavements were torn up to
build barricades, shops were looted
for guns and ammunition. The sol
diers fired into the crowds and en-
gagged them in battle over the barri-
cades and SO great was the loss of ifef
that when at evening the king was
called by the revoluntionists to come
out on the balcony and view his work,
he ordered the troops withdrawn.
Many Of the revolutionists fed to
Switzerland and America. Others
served terms in Prussian prisons, and
March IS, 1S4S, has remained black
day in the German calendar.
