WORKERS LOSE IMMENSE SUM
Involuntary IdIeness During the Last
Year Cost Six and One Halt
Billion Dollars.

Losses in earnings of workers
throughout the country in the last fis-
cal year, due to involuntary idleness,
were put at more than $500, ,0OO, 900
In an estimate prepared by economic
experts Of the national conference on
unemployment.
This estimate, 1t was explained, COW
cred the loss in wages because Of un-
employment of all the jobless in the
country, from July, 1920, to August Is,
1921, and was based on an approxima-
tion Of normal pay levels, rather than
on the scales at the peak Of high
wages. Efforts of the conference, 1t
was said, would be turned toward a
remedy for the economic loss to the
country from such reductions of the
earning power of it's workers In the
future by more stabilized industrial
plan.

NEW YORK, Nov. I5.-Rodman Wana-

Mr. Nauamaker has made a study Of
the right way to approach the stranger
and make him feel absolutely comfort

at the city hall rendered the returning
victorious American athletes from the
Olympic games. He planned the welcome
for more than 100000 American soldiers
back from France-well. Mr.. Wanamaker
simply made himself Indispensable as
civic master Of ceremonies and has
given rise to the question, why should
not every live American city haze a

polish upon its gates ajar.

DEMAND THAT
WORKS BOARD
MEND STREET
North Illinois Pavement Going
to Pieces From Mere
Neglect.

Following the lead Of the Republic
Construction Company property owners
in Illinois street between ThirtyNinth
and Forty Sixth streets have begn to
demand of the board Of public works
that something be done to save the pave
ment which is going to pieces because the
center Of the street has zen left unpaved
five years for car tracks which never
materillized.
The Republic Construction Company
laid the pavement upon both sides of
the space left for car tracks and now
it sees the work crumbling from five to
ten years before its natural life is over
because water has been seepiug under the
paved portion from the unpaved section
and undermining the concrete. The
company requested the Loard last week
to compel the indianapolis Street Railway
Company to put in the tracks and pave
as was originally planned.
Today the board has before it two let
tiers from the Blue Ridge Realty Com
pany. which is developing the Blue Ridge
Addition, located west OF the street in
question and one from NJ. N. Miller, a
real estate dealer residing in the aft
fected npighhorhoOd The realty com
pany points out that the pavement is
going to pieces and asks that something
he done to save it in one letter, and
requests that the board carry out its
four year old order to the street rail-
way company for extension of the Hi
nois street line in the section or en-
force the $50 per day penalty provided
under the surrendered franchise, which
was in force nj the time the order was
I issued.
The latter letter suggests that the
property owners ought to be able to
collect damages from the city because
II has failed to protect the pavement
Mr.. Miller, in his letter, points out
specific places where the pavement is
going bad.
