WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Discuss-
ing unemployment problems today be-
fore a joint meeting of the senate and
house labor committees Secretary of
Labor Wilson said there was "consid-
cradle hysteria" in the country over
reconstruction but that the problems
would be worked out successfully. He
said although reports to the depart
ment showed 262,OO0 unemployed men
ut 1913 Industrial centers, this week
compared with 235.O00 last week, he
did not consider the situation alarm

This condition, the secretary added,
however, indicated trend and need
of legislation that will be a buffer to
tide us through the brief period OF un-

Immediate enactment of legislation
to provide 'buffer" employment SO as
to prevent the philosophy of force"
from even getting hold in this coun-
try during the reconstruction period
was urged by the secretary.

The mid-winter plowing practically

weather any time during the spring
will insure planting.

are in much demand, but because of
the lack of tenant houses on the

The general sentiment of the meet
ing this noon was that some of the
workers who had pledged to help have
laid down on the job" but that those
who have stayed with the campaign
have done good work and should be
congratulated. The work will be con-
tinued through the rest of the week
until the quota is raised. Richmond is
still short over a thousand on her
quota, and the $1,000 quota Of the
county will probably lag unless the
city goes over its sum.
Mr.. Hart has plan which he will
initiate the last of the week if it
seems advisable. Until then the
workers were instructed to continue
solisitation. finishing up the cards
they have left.
I'VE are not through. but we are
not going to fall down." Hart said, and
urged the workers to pursue their So
licitation as faithfully as they can
for at least two more days.
