UNEMPLOYED HERE IS

Reports forwarded to Washington

bureau located in Richmond estimate
the number OF unemployed in Che
cit at 1900 or over e. J. Conway,
| Of the municipal employment bureau
also estimates the number at around
this point. It Is generally believed
by the employment men working in
the city that a great number of the
people seeking work are drifters
most Of whom are boys around eigh-
teen years old who have been going
around among the government opera
ltipns In the neighhorhood seeking
light work and high wages and who
have been set Adrift by the closing OF
many Of the plants.
/ A number OF men arrived in Rich
mond yesterday saying that between
five and seven hundred men had been
laid Off at the West Point shipyards.
and ittnerant labor In general seem to
stop in Richmond. increasing the
round number Of unemployed in the
lcity. There has been. however, ac-
cording to authorities. q surplus OF
male labor in Richmond for some
months. Skilled carpenters are also
hunting for jobs, but as q rule skilled
labor finds little trouble finding a
place
! over twenty people OF all CLASSES
are placed daily by the city. employ
ment agency. according to reports
from Director Fl. J. Conway Mr..
Conway has little belief in the rumor
that local unemployment has increas-
led alarmingly in the last month.
Records at the city office show that
, the demand for domestic help ex-
ceeds the supply but there is q surplus
of male unskilled labor. There
seem to be few. openings for unskilled
female clerical help although there
are number who apply daily for
positions Of this kind. Good stenog-

The question of the comparable

deal OF work for several department
heads on account of the difference of
form for this year budget and the
budgets of the preceding years. The
com pa rison of the last two years ex-
penditures on each detail was asked
for with the copies OF the bureau
budgets. According to the ordinance
OF December rs, 1918, quoted by Mr..
Mills in the argument Monday night
as to whether IT was the mayors duty
to prepare copies of each bureau bud

whether 1t was his duty to include
on these budgets comparison with ex-
penditures of previous years, this plan
shall hold after January !. 1919 and
according to the ordinance the ten

in December.
Preparation of individual copies
will be done to facilitate the work at
the request of several members of the
finance committee. SO far as
possible comparative estimates Will

some city Departments when hitherto
expenditures now classified in detail,

Tt Pays to Advertise" is a story of tho humorous side of busi- ness showing that the business world is not all for making money and grinding on the dull milIstone.
 The scenic effects show the inside of the office of a soap factory and the various stunts employed by the own CTS for bringing business to their doors.
