Congress Pressed for Immediate Action
To Wipe Out Unemployment in IT, S.
A.F. off, Demands Army Discharges
Soldiers Now Face
Family Emergencies,
Declares Morrison
by FRANK MORRISON.
,cretary of American Federation
Labor.

secretary OF American Federnti0n Q
Labor.
Our program is just going out
to the local unions,' said Frank
Morrison, secretary of the fed
Grafton today. Members of Con-
gress will begin to hear from it
shortly. We expect the local
unions will pass resolutions to
their Representatives and Senators
and that members will write di-
rect.
The unemployment situation is
becoming more acute. There are
millions of men yet to be return
ed to industry, and some steps
must be taken 10y the government
to see that they have opportunity
of employment. They were taken
from industry at the governments
call. And while they were willing
to go, and anxious to meet their
nations need, yet that does not
relieve the nation from an obiiga-
tion to see that they step back
into employment.
Families In Need.
they do not have TO leave the
army. But will any of them want
to stay? They have met the ma
tionar emergency. Now they need
to meet the family emergency, and
that means they must get back to
work.
II is little for the government
to do, to vote them a years pay
if that should be necessary to
carry them until they can get back
to work.
Thirty dollars a month.
And some one objects that il
might lead them, into idleness;
suggests that they might not seek
work while the pay was going on.
Why, it would do no more than
pay for their bread and butter!
/ have too much faith in the
American man to believe that he
would loaf to get $50 a month. He
wants to get back into productive
work. Talk to any of the returned
soldiers. They are asking about
the chances of a job. They want
the old job back or another that
they can make better. The gov
eminent owes them the chance.
Hopeful by June.
If it doesn't make good. my
prediction of bread lines will come
true. I'm hopeful that work will
open up in a large way by June.
The thing is to get business and
construction going again. Open
up the jobs. And at the stme time.
immigration must be held back for
a period of years. American in
dustry must rcabsorb American
labor before 1t starts to ABSORB
foreign labor. 1t will do no good
to open up work, and then have a
stream of foreigners coming in to
do that work while Americans are
idle.
The government must close the
gates to immigration and continue
the pay of the soldier until he can
again become self-supporting. Ar
ter that the American worker can
look after himself. Government
financial aid or barriers against
immigration will no longer-be ne
Cessary.

Emergency Public Works
Board Would Give Jobs
to Thousands Of Dis
charged Soldiers.

Having dispensed aid to Europe's
starving millions. Congress this week
is to be called on for quick action
on the pressing domestic problem of
Unemployment.
Senator Kenyon and others to
whom appeals for emergency legisla-
tion are coming from mayors, gov
ernors, chambers OF commerce and
plain citizens out of work, will de-
mand immediate consideration of the
bill creating an emergency public
works board with money to employ
thousands of men.
We have voted 300, 900 to Eu-
ropes hungry said Kenyon yester-
day. Dare We refuse to appropriate
at least an equal sum to keep thou
sands of Americans from going
hungry"
Kenyons bill provides s1OO, 900 as
an emergency fund to start public
works.
Dividends to America.
"Of the money We spend for food
for Europe. much will never be re-
turned to the public treasury. and we
don't grudge it," he went on. But
every dollar used now to put an Amer
ican to work means dividends to
America. Public works provide per-
manent improvements. In addition to
Being producers, Americans at work
are better consumers. From every
angle, the best investment the coun-
Try can make is jobs for its men,"

ployment carried to members OF Con-
gress in letters and kilograms every

foot to convince Congress that some
body is trying to create an "unemploy-
ment scare in the country. Senators
charged yesterday. This takes sew
Cral forms.
Threat of BoIsheyism.
One is the charge. made openly
upon the Senate floor recently, that
American workers are demanding
more than fair wage, because they
think they can frighten employers
into giving il. with the threat Of
Bolshevism if it isn't granted.
Another is an attitude of scofing
at reports of unemployment. Con-
grcssmen are told that reports are
grossly exaggerated"
Still a third is that many return
ing soldiers are finicky about the
kind of work they do: that they
will not accept jobs they were sat
isfied with before the war. but want
easier work and more pay.
Such propaganda said Kenyon
yesterday. lis an even greater men
ace to the country than unemploy-
ment. 1t is designed to create dis
trust and suspicion of the American
worker. Whatever lies may be told,
the fact remains that the list of un-
employed is growing by leaps and
bounds. and it is up to Congress to
shake off its inertia and do some
thing at once"
