newspapers the Conference on I'M
employment called by President
Harding has recommended that each
city organize to meet what may be
the greatest emergency during the
coming winter In the history OF the
Nation.
THE mayor OF each town Is charg-
ed with the responsibility OF form
ing an emergency committee. In
exercise OF this power, I summon
you TO attend a meeting In the Coun-
ell Chamber on Monday. october 10,
at $50 p. m. to discuss the situation
and to act on President Hardings
suggestions.
Il do not wish to emphasize un,
duly the gravity Of conditions which
believe are already understood by
you. 1 may say. however. that ac-
cording TO figures obtained from the
/ best available sources. from 1000 to
/ 5000 men In Wilmington are out OF
: work, many OF them idle for sew
eral months These. with their de-
pendents. certainly constitute an
/ alarmingly large percentage Of our
/ population. Moreover, coal Is about
/ s14 per ton. or more than twice as
much as before In previous periods
OF depression.
J please weigh these facts care
fully and come 10 the meeting pre-
pared to help solve the problem"
