Gratifying Speed.

Both the country and the members
Of President Harding's conference on
unemployment are to be congratu-
lated on the gratifying speed which
apparently is being made in the
formulation of program of emer-
grasped the fact that the very es-
sence of emergency remedies is early
application and has put aside for
later consideration all matters which
make for delay.
There have been sincere doubts
whether the unemployment situation
is one which could be effectively dealt
with by conference of the kind
which the President has convened,
but even those who doubted must be
encouraged by the practical-minded-
ness with which the conferees have
approached the problem. They have
not attempted to put forward untried
theories and curealls for industrial
ills. nor have they sought to dazzle
the country by the discovery Of some
startling overnight restorative. In
stead. they have recognized that the
putting Of idle men back to work
must be a piecemeal affair. few
here and few there. a few more by
this method and a few more by that.
keeping always in mind that with the
conversion of each idler into a wage
Garner the total volume of purchasing
power is enlarged and the demand for
the product of other workers thereby
increa sed.
Later on. when the emergency pro-
gram has been worked out and recon-
mended for adoption by the states
and municipalities and industrial
units. it will be time enough to take
up and propose measures looking to
of the recurring periods
Of unemployment. 1t has long been
recognized by economists that there
was no real justification for much Of
the unevenness in the employment
line of American industry. Now that
the present period Of depression has
centered attention on the subject, and
the President having called into con-
ference the minds best equipped to
deal with it, the country has right
to hope that something really big and
and permanently bene-
fetal will be evolved.

The Municipal Lodging House.

A man who has elected himself
champion or leader or representative
Of the unemployed has said some
harsh things about the municipal lodg-
ing house. Harsh things are often
even usually-said about free lodging
houses elsewhere. but the city of
Washington. though its floating popu
1ation of homeless Or roomless people
Is trivial compared with the great CEN
tiers of private industry. ought to have
model municipal lodging house.
The imperfections of the present old
been called to the attention of the pub
lie and the propeI. authorities, but
with so many needs pressing upon the
city the free lodging house has been
given scant attention. 1t is really some
thing that Washington people know
very little about, because homeless or
shelterless men in Washington are
lare. and the general belief has been
that a very large percentage of the
men going to the municipal lodging
house are gentleman pedestrians who
get a lift on freight trains when they
can and who travel southwark in
winter and northward in summer.
Nothing uncharitable is intended in
that observation, and Washington
should have good municipal lodging
house for men who are unfortunate
enough to need it.

Rate by Mail-Payable in Advance.
MARYLAND and Virginja.
A Local Unemployment Problem.

The government recognizes that it
lem of its own. in addition to the
great national problem. which the
unemployment conference hopes to
solve. The government records this
recognition by its endeavor to extend
and diversity the uses of the navy
yard plant. to the end that a maxi
mum of skilled workers may be re-
tanned there and a minimum be
thrown out Of employment.
Increase of diversified activities at
the navy yard plant means more
work for more men and larger ap-
preparations of money to pay them.
More jobs at living pay constitute
one of the obvious remedies of un-
employment.
Economic efficiency urges the gov
ernment to do everything in its power
to prevent deterioration of its navy
yard plant. The asset of accumulated
skilled labor developed at the navy
yard and conducting its productive
activities is as much a part of the
plant as the machinery which these
workers operate.
Economy and efficiency forbid that
this asset shall be disintegrated and
dispersed precisely as they forbid that
the machinery shall be injured or
destroyed by disuse or neglect Or
abuse.
Many of the skilled workers at the
navy yard are Washington home
owners. a part of the permanent cap
ital community. 1t is hurtful in the
highest degree to the community in
terest if they are driven elsewhere
through deprivation of their accus-
tened employment at a living wage.
Uncle Sam as local employer will
doubtless in the end so solve his
navy yard unemployment problem on
lines of equity. efficiency and human
sympathy as to set a wholesome eX-
ample to employers everywhere and
thus contribute practically and pow
erfully to the wise solution Of the
national unemployment problem.
Evening star., 1921-09-29
Other Unemployment Conferences.

With the conference on unemploy-
fore it. men and women throughout
the country are holding among them
selves-as they meet in the course of
their daily affairs-a series of unoffi-
cial and informal conferences upon
the question in point. Lacking the ad.
vantages of detailed statistics. without
the advice of eminent economists or
leaders in the Industrial fields, they
are seeking-these men and women
the same ends as the official repre-
sentatives gathered in the big confer
ence hall Of the Department of Com
merce. Earnestly and without preju-
dice they debate the matter Of why
unemployment should be scourging the
nation today and what of a practical
nature can be done to relieve the
situation as it exists.
The predominant trait of the aver
age American is perhaps that Of keen
Judgment upon matters toward which
he directs his attention. In any event
he possesses that characteristic to- a
marked degree. And today, with his
attention focused upon the subject Of
the why and wherefores Of unemploy-
.ment, the keen edge Of his logic is
cutting through that crust Of theories
with which the subject has come to be
INVESTED.
Unemployment, hs !Esa, Esasens, results
Evening star., 1921-09-29

when employers are not in the market
to buy labor. Employers are not In
the market to buy labor except when
a profit may be realized from the pur-
chase. A profit cannot be realized If
the cost of production Of finished
product Gn which the cost of labor
plays predominant parD is higher
than the price which the public Is
willing to pay therefor. 1t Is therefore
up to the individual who wishes to
sell his services to an employer to see
to it that the price he asks for those
services does not preclude the pos
sibility of a profit to his employer
through the use of those services. For
otherwise he will not be hired.
This reasoning of your average
American man or woman is sound.
Applied to existing conditions it fits
smoothly. One of those conditions is.
we are told, that some 3.500,000 men
and women in America today want
work. Another Of those conditions we

hold down production. Yet another
condition is that the public will not
pay today the prices which made pos
sible war-inf1ated wages and unpro-
ductive working rules And the
final condition is that the 3,500,000
men and women are not meeting with
success in their quest for employment.
Other factors in the equation will
undoubtedly be recognized and stated
by the eminent conferees who now
have the subject under formal con-
sideration. Yet when all has been said
and done it is safe prophecy that
their findings AS to the causes of exist
ing conditions and their prescription
for remedy will run along the lines
upon which the average man and
woman of America are today thinking.
