has just been worked out in Indian
apolis through a cooperative system
to meet the unemployed situation,
which calls for a central body repre-
scnting the various war societies aad
the United States Employment Service.

have representative working with
the government at the labor head
quarters.
Included in this Capitalization plan
arc representatives Of the Rcd Cross,
Knights Of Columbus, Y NJ c. A., the
jewish Welfare Board, the Wag Camp
Community Service and the Draft
Boards. As each case comes up the
particular organization which is best
able to LOOK after the case will att mpt
to place the applicant.
Andrew Wahl. indianapolis director

vice, is confident that the NV plan

What the business men chiefly
feared the secretary said, was that
the cost Of materials would decrease

that the prices of finished products
might go down to a point where the
maintenance of present wagca meant

be much reduced for some time, he
said. "Thc cost OF living has gone up

industries the wage raise has not kept

Nci0 York Tribune
Labor Bureau
\ survey of conditions in industrial
centres made by The Tribune indicates
Ihot unemployment is now general
over the greater part of the United
States, and that it VIII grow in seri-
BUSINESS during the next two winter
months. The coming Of spring. with
the resumption Of outdoor construc-
ton and more complete reimbursement
OF industry to peace basis will give
relief.
That, 50 far, the edmobilzing sol
der has suffered less than the dis
charged war worker; but that from
now on through the summer, the
speed Of demoblization is likely to
increase and more suffering will re-
suit unless the government institutes
a scientific system of discharge.
A survey made by The Tribune Jan
uary :, 1919. showed that only seven
out of eighteen cities then had an un-
employment problem
The second survey. made th5 s week
shows that twelve out OF eighteen eitios
are now facing serious unemployment
IL dfteen cities The Tribune Was abl,
to make a direct comparison with CON
dldons three weeks ago. This shows
that where $4,000 men We're out of work
on January :, 10000 now are unem-
ployed. These cites have total popu-
lation Of about eight millions.
The Tribune's survey shows that The
unemployment situation is being taker
much more seriously than it was three
weeks ago. At that time only foul
cities reported active and official ef
forts being made By bodies outside the
state and Federal employment service
to relieve conditions. Eight cities now
are aware OF the danger ahead, and art
