FIXING THE BLAME.

According to the March number of
,'Tndustry." a magazine published in
New York. the government itself is
of unemployment now prevalent in
this country. This publication recent
ly prepared and distributed a ques-
tionnaire to the most important cor
porations and manufacturing firms in
twenty-six states. This inquired as to
the extent and cause of unemi 10y
1nent. The number of employees rep
resented by the manufacturers an
swerins this QUESTIONABLE aggregated
one million, which, according to the
law of averages, should represent the
CONSENSUS of the opini n of employers
thruout the United States. AS to the
reasons given for unemployment. the
basic causes were shown to be as fol-
lows: The abrupt stopping of war
work. the failure of the government
to pay manufacturers their just
claims in connection with war con-
tracts, the lack of a fixed policy on
the part of the government resulting
in hesitation and uncertainty. insta-
bility of raw materials, high cost OF
labor, strikes for decreased hours and
Increased pay. the consuming public's
buying only according to its imme-
,diate needs, talk of price fixing and
government interference. instability
of labor caused by governmental cod
ding.
To these might be added one more
not mentioned by the manufacturers
hut which appears to be materially
1iandicapping business in the United
States, and that is the censorship OF
cables. Recently a large firm OF
agents and commission merchants
stated that while the war is practi-
cally over and commerce is preparing
for normal conditions. we find that
we are still very much Handicapped

''What are these women going to do

now is that she must go back; that
there is nothing left for her to do.

MY HUSBAND AND /

you did would have to go home, 1

To this day, do not know whether
I meant what I said or not. But it
seemed to sober Neil Immediately. He
numbled something about being tired
and worn out when he came home,
and then about my pitching into him
when he was in that condition. But

Babsie, that you will never say that
again.

loving mood.

was unhappy. That he had perhaps

for him because he was anxious and

without you. 1 couldn't"
With curious impression of effor
