Labor Situation

Unemployment appears TO be on the in
crease, Judging from the records OF the Chi
cago Urban League. This organization began
its relief work December o. 1920, when the
gradual shutdown in industry began, forcing
thousands Of men into the streets IN search
of jobs. The League. quick 10 adjust its
organized a Citizens Relief Committee and
directed its efforts to the stimulating Of
interest in relief for the hungry and Jobless
thousands.
Since January 1, 1921, It has provided
27,sOs meals Tor men Temporarily without
work and money and li,3l4 persons with tern,
added embarra ssments. Five hundred per
sons have received clothing sent through the
League 10 churches for distribution. In April
l5,0sS persons were given some form OF re
lief; 4,S4l were given shelter and 1924 free
meals were served.
The seriousness of the actual job shortage
is indicated in the records for the month OF
April, which show that 6,490 men and 1901
women applied for work assistance in
securing work, while POI Jobs were available
The Industrial Department OF this organiza-
ton is exhausting every possibility 10 locate
even temporary positions by which the men
and women who apply asking only an oppor-
tunity for work may be served. lnoidentallg,
II might be remarked that the general IN
dustres OF the city have decreased the num-
Der Of their employees Approximately so per
cent over last year. Although unemployment
has not been confined to Negro workmen, n
is significant that practically all the relief
work has been financed by the colored PEG
pie, churches and Ladies' Charity Clubs who
have contributed money shelter and clothing
The splendid cooperation OF the churches
with the Urban League is shown in thc FOL
lowing services rendered by churches and the
y. VI. c. A. during the month OF April; 5,327
free meals have been served at Quinn Chapel

1t is expected that the families OF unem-

occasioned By the absence OF income OF the

gots. Flies on their own accord will
not travel more than few feet from
the place where they breed, but they
are often carried miles by the winds or
by trains, or considerable distances on
animals and in wagons; especially
wagons used for hauling manure or
garbage. Where flies are plentiful it
is reasonably certain that fertile
breeding material can be found within
few hundred feet.
The frequent treatment or removal
of manure, the proper care and fire.
quent disposal OF garbage, and the
prevention of aceumulations OF all
other filths IS, therefore, necessary TO
entirely vanish flies. 1t is useless for
city officials or civic organizations to
start swat and trap the fly campaign

stables, the frequent proper removal
and disposal of manure in the streets.
the cleaning of garbage and other filth
from alleys and the construction of fly
tight privies, because for every fly
that is swatted and trapped. thousands
develop in the undisturbed filth All
fly breeding places should be declared
public nuisances and ordinances should
be passed and enforced to cause their
abatement
To prevent fly breeding every
householder must exercise great care
in the disposal of old accumulated
waste. The garbage should be kept
covered Old rags thrown into the
yard and moistened by rains accom-
modate the fly if no better place is
available If flies cannot eat they
must die, and if they cannot find a
suitable place to feed they will not
have suitable place in which to de
post their eggs. Privies not only
serve as places for flies to pick up
load OF germs to carry into the house,
but provide food and breeding place
as well. They should be abandoned
wherever possible and when other
means for the disposal of.human waste
cannot be had, privies should be con
structed that flies cannot have access
to the feces and urine.
A simple, safe and sure rule to re-
member is no filth, no flies. Manure
is favorite breeding place for flies.
A one-horse stable will breed enough
flies for a whole neighborhood. The
development OF the automobile and
the decrease in the number of horses,
stables and the amount OF manure in
city streets has greatly helped reduce
the number of flies.
