post commanders and adjutants and
members of the state executive COM
mittee at a recent conference which
was attended by F. w. Gafbraith, Jr.
National Commander of the Legion.
A bill which was introduced in the
state legislature did not meet with
the Legion's approval because the ex-
service men held that it was their
duty to pay taxes the same as any
other body of citizens.

3,473,466 Unemployed

New York World: The Depart
ment of Labor's unemployment sur
vey of manufacturing and city indus
tries brings out some extraordinary
figures. That 3,473,466 persons, or
one-third of the country's total work
ing population in these lines, should
be idle; that the percentage of idle
ness should rise as high as 80 in
Michigan on account Of the prostra-
ton of automobile manufacturing
and should average from % per cent
for New York State to 38 per cent
for Massachusetts, 43 per cent for
Connecticut, "A per cent for Illinois
and SO per cent for Ohio and Indi-
ana-these startling proportions do
not more arrest attention, perhaps,
than the swiftness with which the
great slump has come. 1t was hard
ly six months ago that these indus
tries were preceding at the top
notch
If so great relative volume of
unemployment had fallen upon the
country at any time prior to 1914
it must have been attended by a pan
ic far worse than any which was actu
ally experienced. Of such pre-
sumption there can be no question.
But in this case there has been and
there is no panic, and it is the opin-
ion of the Federal Reserve Board
that this danger-line, if it could have
arisen at all under the Federal Re-
serve System, has been passed. The
banks are functiOning as usual. The
vast underlying financial structure
of the country stands firm and un-
shaken and unbroken at every i'm
portant point.
1t all came down with a crash in
1873, and it took five years for the
industrial United States to recover
any frmness of footing. 1t all went
to pieces in 1893, and not until after
the Spanish war, five years later, did
industrial revival begin. Unemploy-
ment in those cases may have been
relatively less than now, but it en-
dured for years because there was
no firm ground to stand on in pulling
the country out Of the slough. Con-
fidence had been lost Credit had
disappeared. The process of ex-
change had fallen into chaos.
None of these conditions is now
present, and the fact is due entirely
to the Federal Reserve System. This
is the strong reason for believing
that the present depression without
panic cannot last long. It's time is
numbered by years, and this conclu-
sion finds support in the reports
everywhere of reopening mills and
extensions of working-time so soon
after the beginning of the slump.
