 Rai|rnad Funding Bill
Eugene Meyer, IT,, Says It Would be Followed by the
 Employment of Millions of
 Men.

New York, Sept. 4J-Employment of a million men by the railroads of the United States would follow the passage by congress of the Townsend -Winslow railroad funding bill, Eugene Mayer, Jr managing director of the war finance corporation, asserted, today in state ment in which he considered means to remedy the present unemployment prob lem. He said he believed his estimate of one million men was conservative.
 "A considerable part of the existing unemployment" he said, lis due to the position in which the railroads find themselves short of funds and unable to make their nornpl purchases and do their normal repair and equipment work
 Not only would the railroads by the passage of the bill be put in the position of meeting their unpaid accounts al- ready past due, but they would be able to, go ahead with their maintenance of way and repa.t of equipment work This would directly employ large number of men"
 MT. Meyer also pointed to the indirect labor involved in producing and trans. porting lumber for ties and iron ana steel used for maintenance and repairs
 The enlarged purchasing power ot the men so employed th9 statement said, would put large additional nun

 There is that kind of work for every man, woman and child in the country. We all must labor to build up the old spirit of confidence in our people.
 Labor Day used to be thought of only as Labor's Day. This year and from now on, it it Everybody's Day,
 Tn these stern times we have learned a new conception of work Work means something more to us than working for ourselves. We see that in order to prosper ourselves we must work for the general good. for the other fellow, for the millions of other fellows-which means Our Country.

 DECREASE OF UNEMPLOYED

Washington, Sept 4.-An increase of 1.oS per cent in the number of persons employed in sixty-five principal indus trial centers in August as compared with July was shown by statistics made public today by the department of labor. The figures were taken from the payrolls of 1,42S firms, each usually employing five hundred or more persons. =.
 Industrial classifications showed that increases occurred in the number em- ployed in food and food products. tex tiles andtheir products iron and steel, leather and it's finished products, stone clay and glass products metals and pro- ducts other than iron and steel. tobacco manufactures and railroad repair shops. All other industrial classifcations show decreases.
 While it is true that the country has lat last definitely setout on the long uphill climb to normal conditions" the statement said, it would be mistake to imbue the figures with significance not strictly in accordance with facts. It must be borne .n mind that the improve ment shown can be traced In great measure, to the vast agricultural activi ties and that. ar yet the major ma nu- facturing, mininS and transportation in terests have given less conclusive evi. dence of the value and permancy of sucf small gains as they may have expert. enced
