Brotherhood Helping Unemployed

To The Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir--In answer to Mr.. James T. Taylor s
article on what Are the Churches Doing?'
which appeared in the EVENING PUBLIC
LEDGER November Q.
Mr.. James T. Taylor evidently has not
been thorough In his investigation OF what
the churches are doing. at least not in Rox-
borough. Manayunk and Wissahickon.
Speaking only for the Brotherhood OF the
Roxborough Baptist Church Of RoXborough.
in Philadelphia, we invite all men. whether
members of any church or not who need
work whom we can help. aid or5 assist
In any way. whether In sickness or in
health, to report their troubles at once to
the brotherhood.
Our Employment Committee has not failed
In single instance during nine trying
months TO secure Jobs for all who applied
and for some they secured two positions.
However we have found that number of
cases that were reported wanting desper-
ately a Job OF any kind - these very men
turned down Jobs paying from twenty-five
to sixty cents an hour. placing the commit
tee at times in most embarrassing posi-
tions.
A ten-hour canvass OF most OF tho twenty
one churches situated in Roxborough. Wissa-
hickon and ManayunlS. showed three have
organized bodies taking care OF the unem-
pOyed, and all OF the remaining are doing
Individual work for those who are in need.

EIoaqina for Flirting

therefore suggest that we should return TO
the PRINT We period OF our country and in
troduce some OF the methods then in vogue,
which were invariably effective.

have to contend with today Is the per
sistent flirting that 3, going on on our

How Can ! Help Unemployed7 2
TO the Editor Of tho Evertno Public Ledger:

10 the Editor Of tho Everin0 Public Ledger!
sir--We employers OF labor are being con-
stantly derided for keeping our factories
closed. or on part time. instead of going
ahead and creating work for the unem-
pioyed. II we did as we are being advised
three-fourths of us would be bankrupt
whose fault is II that there is such big
army OF the unemployed To a great extent
the unemployed themselves.
IN my factory j have always paid the
highest wages. and have never had labor
trouble In the thirty-one years that have
been In business. am willing TO continue
TO pay the highest wages possible. only
desiring a small per cent on my investment
and for my labor. My mills have been
closed for a considerable period now because
L could not run them but at q loss. and n
considerable one. which would eventually
drive me out OF business entirely.
The reason for this Is the great reduction
OF tho goods manufacture in price and
my inability to sell what stock l have on
hand at figure that will not compel mo
TO sustain a big loss. I expect to lose on
the goods. but owing 20 tho high cost of
labor and the high cost OF raw material

facture. could find no buyers. nor oven

and start all over again but in order that
1 should not have another loss OF this char
acter. which would practically wipe out my
capital. would have to find the workers
that would be willing to accept greatly re-
duced wage. and those who make the raw
material would have to sell at considerably
lss. ana yet they give reason that
they cannot afford to do so owing to the
high cost OF labor in its production and pre-
paration.
Now what am to do under such CIR
cumstance but keep my mills closed until
can manage to operate and break even,
or mako small profit. and yet II grieves

Unemployment and Hlah Prices

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
SIr-The high cost OF everything at the
present time Is detrimental TO the attempt
to find much employment for those whc
need II badly. The people have not the
money to pay the prices for the manufac'
tured articles that are now being asked
and oon nsoquently the manufacturers cannot
go ahead and make more for the market
for which they have no orders. This is
quite natural.
Retailers who are keeping up their prices
and are doing little or no business should
realize tho rea son TO bo that the people have
not the money TO purchase or they would be
dcng so. Why, then. should they not be
willing TO make sales ct lower profits and
to meet the condition OF the pocketbookB OF
tho people? Only through lowering prices
viii seIes bo more numerous, and more nu-
merous sales will mean more demands for
n manufacture. and soon the mills will be able
to open up and take back their former em-
pIoyes. We only need a general start Ia
change the situation. and this should be
done through lowering prices in every line.
