Labor. Situation
INDUSTRIAL BULLETIN NO. III
Released by The Chicago Urban
League


More than 5000 people came to the
Offices oil the Chicago Urban League
for employment during the month OF
November. This represents an IN
crease OF over 1000 in the average
attendance figures of the League S
Employment Department. Oh this
5000 only 608 were actually placed
in positions. Thus. while our atten-
dance showed an increase oil more
than 1000, our placements showed
a decrease of SOC.
Unemployment is greater among
men than among women. OF the
women calling for employment 1870
were placed as against 8fo OF the
men; but the total number of men and
women placed was smaller than for
any month. In the month OF No
vember, 1910, with an attendance of
1886, we placed SIG OF our appli-
cants, or total of LILO persons.
These figures only indicate that
there has been no improvement in
the unemployment situation i'll Chi
cago. In fact. as the month advanced
conditions grew worse At present,
the League finds itself unable TO hold
out hope TO the large number OF un-
employed. From indications, it is
safe to predict that not before the
first of the yea will any material
change be made la the unemployment
situation. 1t was never more hazard
Gus to change jobs than at present.
The League has never experienced
greater difficulty in interesting en-
ployers than at the present time. The
diversity OF employment open to col
ored people is more limited than at
any time since 1916.
Last week the League called the
attention OF the pastors OF the city
to this unusual situation and gave
them facts and figures for the purpose
of having them emphasize to their
congregations the seriousness OF the
affair, and the necessity of remaining
on their jobs and making good. Plans
are now under way to call the pastors
into conference with the hope that a
concerted effort will be made 10 urge
serious consideration on the part OF
the colored population to conditions
which can in many respects be i'm
proved by the race, il regularity and
efficiency are recognized as essentials
in industrial advancement.

CAR COLLISION IN
NEICHBORING CITY

A Ford touring car belonging to
Albert Ryczek and driven by his son,
John, collided with a bort roadster
driven by G. D. Cowling, Milwaukee,
at the corner of Main and Park street
in Reedsburg recently as result the
bort went into the back shop to under
go series of minor operations at the
hands of the Townsend & Metcalf re-
pair men.
The roadster was going west and the
Ford east, but the driver OF the latter
car was crossing the street to take on
gas and fill his tires and apparently
was not following the usual law of
the road in keeping to the right. His
car was not damaged to any extent.
