Buy some one n job!

| ouy some one Job!
Buy holes into the wares OF tn
butcher, the baker. the ladies' dress
maker, and into the stocks of the tin
smith, the tailor. and the dry good
purveyor, and give the unemployed
chance to get jobs filing them uy
again. Buy the goods and you neet
not buy the men. Let New York oper
wide it's pocketbook for It's two ap
proaching buying weeks, and there
will be no need of an auction sale Of
the unemployed.
This is the solution of the problem
of the jobless that was proposed al
meeting in the Board of Estimate
chamber at the City Hall yesterday
There were present $50 or more rep.
resentatives of department stores, an.
parel manufacturers, railroads, banks
and industries generally.
Briefly, New York will have two
buying weeks. The first will be a
trade revival week for manufacturers
and wholesalers. and the second re-
tailers' week. for small stores and
shopkeepers. They will be celebrated
$l0o,000,0O0 worth of goods to make
way for new stock.
Jesse l. Strauss, Of r. H. Macy E.
Co., is permanent chairman and will
form the Buying Weeks committee
that will have charge of the general
program. The help of all trades and
industries will be solicited to make
business boom during these weeks and
special prices, railroad excursions, ex-
tended credits and other inducements
will be offered buyers, both wholesale
and retail.
Hy!an Blames the Papers
Mayor Hylan opened the meeting.
Without referring directly to the
prominence given the dispensing Of the
congregation of unemployed, who were
scattered doughnutless as we'll as Job
less from Bryant Park few nights
ago, the Mayor nevertheless blamed
"croaking about hard times" on the
newspapers. He proposed in place of
pessimism plan glowing with opti-
misnl by which business could be
showed upward, and thus make more
room for labor at the bottom
Franklin Simon, to whom the Mayor
resigned the chair after making his in
troductory remarks, outlined the gen
eral scheme to the meeting. New York
had always depended upon its natural
attractions, Mr.. Simon said, to bring
people to it. and nothing had ever been
done to advance it commercially. 1t
would not do to permit people to be-
lieve that lower prices would be the in
evitable result Of postponing necessary
purchases, feeling which had caused
merchants throughout the country to
buy very conservatively and which had

reacted upon the manufacturers ane
restricted the hiring of help.
Mr.. Simon gave an outline of the rcn.
eral scheme for the buying weeks.
The first week, he said, could be de.
voted to wholesalers and manufactur.
ers. Through letters to stores. an.
nouncments in trade publications
and the individual efforts of every
wholesaler and manufacturer, the large
se1iirg organizations throughout the
country, could be induced to send their
buyers here and create trade revival
week.
Cooperation Is Promised
In talks with prominent men in gar
ment manufacturing, Mr. Simon said
he had been assured that they were
willing to cooperate in any plans that
would help business and give employ
! ment to the idle in their industry.
For the second buying week, set for
two or three weeks after the first one,
in order to allow adjustments and prep
arations to be made, Mr.. Simon pro-
posed special publicity and cooperation
on the part Of the newspapers and
stores, so that buying Inducements that
the cople could not very we'll refuse
to take would be set before the public.
There will be committees on mer-
chants, merchandise, newspaper pub
llcity, advertising, outdoor publicity.
manufactures, transportation, hotels
and labor. to whose activities Mr..
Simon said he felt the newspapers
would give plenty of space.
Hearty applause followed Mr.. Simon's
outline of the program. He then said
that i'll health prevented his becoming
permanent chairman of the Buying
Weeks committee, which resulted in
the election Of Mr.. Strauss.
On motion of Otto B. Shulhof q tele-
gram, offering the cooperation of the
New York Buying Weeks Committee
to the national committee on the un-
employed, was sent to President Hard

BILE bond, Treasurer; took their seats,
President Pollard made an interest
| ing and pleasing talk Of five minutes
lin whick he stated he was indeed
proud that he had been SO honered
and promised his best efforts for the
coming year.

geant-at-Arms, an office, it was
deemed necessary to have in order to
keep "Spec" Robinson and Robert

Rotary Year Rotarian Will Humph-
rey offered silver cup to the Rota-
rian who made the best attendance
record during the year and this was
won by DR.. W. B. Dickins, who miss
ed only two meetings out of the So.
His failure to be present at these two
meetings was because he was sick in

ing lady the other. He had a worthy
competitor for this honor in "Ran"
Schlater who was present forty nine
meetings out of fifty two.
Mr., E. X. Myrick had as his guest
yesterday Mr.. Boswell of the Ford

The Fear Of United
States Intervention

MEXICO CITY, April 13--The fear
of the United States intervention
which is always apparent in Mexico
was illustrated recently when an i'm
aginary correspondent in Vera Cruz
advised his Mexico City newspaper
that "a fleet of American vessels,
most of them cruisers formidably ar
med, has just anchored off this port"
The correspondent added that at
the time his dispatch was filed it was
too dark to identify the vessels def
initely but that "the entire city of
Vera Cruz is in frenzy of excite
ment over this entrance Of United
States warships into our waters"
1t was later discovered, however,
that the much feared armada consis-
ted of six small boats recently pur-
chased by the Mexican government
from Great Britain for merchant ma
rine service.

ed the expression of feeling from the
foreign policy disclosed in yesterdays
message to congress and are % down
against about up due. Spot pri-
ces on the other hand reflect the bet
ter trade situation and conditions in
consequence of the strike being a.

the first impression by the decline in
futures at Liverpool and the London
news that the triple alliance had or
dered a general strike for Friday
night However, London consols are

dicate the view that this move by la
Dor is rather part of the present ne
gotiations than actually intended for
execution. Nobody believes it will
come to an actual strike.
There was good buying on the re-
action on the bullish Liverpool spot
