START WORK ON DEEP
WATERWAY TO GIVE
EMPLOYMENT, is CRY

Joliet, Nov. 19-From an industrial
standpoint. the time Is ripe now to
start construction of the Joliet link
of the deep waterway, Llewellyn
Rogers. superintendent of the en-
ployment office here, said today.
ITO postpone operations will mean
eventually the Gripping of manufac.
turing" said Mr.. Rogers. Men are
idle now Several hundred could be
placed at work on the 10 mile strip
in the Joliet-Lockport district, one
of the most important parts of the
water route.
viii Hamper Industry.
IF action is delayed and conditions
get back to normal as we hope and
believe they will, by spring, men now
idle will be employed and in drafting
men for the waterway work, indus
tries will again be handicapped.
Work on the waterway now would
solva the temporary unemployment
situation. Much of it could be done
during the winter, such as blasting
and draining, instead of waiting I'M
til spring.
There are practically no demands
for labor being registered at the Of
fee, according to Mr. Rogers, the
requests for farm hands being filed
and no applications for workers be-
ing received from factories or bus
mess houses.
