HOW ANY CITY
CAN PUT idle
MEN TO WORK
Racine Plan Proves
Great Success In De-
preston
BY NORRIS QUINN

RACINE, Wis, Aug. 16.-Up here
they're naming cigars, streets and
babies after Thomas NJ. Kearney.
Kearney, a Racine lawyer, who is the
father of the Racine employment
plaza plan any progressive city
can emulate,
The fruits of the plan have been
Feeding the needy among $4,000
jobless men and their families.
Rotating men in Jobs so that every
one is employed part of the time.
Stimulating municipal improve
ment and private enterprise with a
view to making more jobs.
Last year Racine, the biggest in
dustrial city in Wisconsin outside of
Milwaukee, was faced with a serious
problem. Eighty per cent of its work
ing people were thrown out of their
jobs. Some employers who had served
80 years were dismissed.
Study Made
A committee of Is citizens was
formed to study the sitaation. Kear-
ney was chairman, Kearney and his
associates worked out the Racine
plan and presented it to Mayor A. J.
Lunt and the city council.
The aldermen said the plan looked
good but inquired mildly where the
city could get money to put it
through.
Racine banker answered that
question. They told the city council
they would take up a $150,000 city
bond issue, each bank taking a por-
ton proportionate to its size
SO the city council passed the bond
issue, got the money and the Racine
plan started operation.
How Plan Works
Here's how it works:
Relief of needy cases is handled
by the Central Association, formerly
a charitable organization. Families
In need Of food apply to Miss Cath
crime Mehder, director.
Miss Mehder, a trained socia
worker, makes a personal investiga
ton. If the case is worthy, a ra-
ton card is given to the family.
Any tradesman in Racine will hon
or these ration cards.
The cards are renewed from week
to week. The butchers and grocers
are paid from the fund created by
the bond issue.
The task of finding Jobs was turn
ed over to H. K. Presser, head of a
local employment agency. Now Pres
ser is the supreme employment dicta-
tor of Racine. He tells men where 20
go to work and tells thea when to
quit their jobs t. make room fer
someone else.
Presser Systematically rotates men
on ic BIS A man works one week, then
another man takes .he Job. TIE next
week the original mar is put h&ck
again. So everybo ly's working part
time.
Married Men Preferred
Married men are given preference.
The bigger a mans family. the more
days he's allowed to work. Single
men are given restaurant meal tick
cts every week, emitting them to
three substantial meals day for z
days.
Here arc some typical cards from
Presser's files, showing the type OF
men he has to deal with:

PENURY

The penuTious policy of the Amer
lean government in respect to provid-
ing decent accommodations for its
ambassadors and ministers is again
emphasized by the situation in the Ar
gentine.
The rent allowance for the en-
bassy at Buenos Aires is 1926 a
month. This provided a fairly salts
factory place in pre-war days. But
rents have scared in South America
as elsewhere.
The American ambassador, failing
to get an increase in his rent allow
ance, has had to move to the second
floor of building on a side street.
The first floor is occupied by mat
tress factory, carpenter shop and
ladies' tailor.
Not a very good way to impress
our South American neighbors with
the greatness of these United States.

STATISTICS

According to official soviet statis-

the population of soviet Russia at
the end of 1920 was 1873, 100000, a
decrease of 100000 for the same
area since 1914.
The population of Moscow, the
soviet capital, was 1,05O,OOO, as
against 2,543,000 in 1917.
Two hundred and fifty thousand
in Moscow are government officials,
which is more than the total number
of government officials in the whole
of Russia in 1897.
The death rate in soviet Russia in
1920 was 45 per thousand. as against
90 per thousand pre-war.
The grain deficit in Russia is due
to the chaotic conditions throughout
the country and not to drought.
