WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 19-The
official government estimate of $685.
900 as the number of unemployed men
is perhaps the principal element in
the administration effort TO pass the
io-called railroad bill.
In advanced nations unemployment

quently been urged in the United
States.
But with US this theory OF direct
government help for persons out OF
work has never reached momentum
that promised success. The theory
that the government should remedy
unemployment by starting large gov
ernment works has also frequently
been urged in the United States. But
In tie present condition of the coun-

The theory of those who are urging
the railroad bill is that it will pro-
vide an indirect relief for unemploy-
ment much more helpful than any di.
rect form of relief. their theory is
that the payment of this s500,000,000
to the railroads now will start a cycle
which will work out in the following
order:
Indirect Relief
The railroads will get the money;
they will use it in the direct employ

and in the indirect employment oi

products not now salable, and fol
commodities of every kind.
The next step in the cycle Is that
this increased consumption in com
modities will cause greater activity
and volume in general trade. Greater
activity and volume in general trade
will result in a greater volume of traf
