Editorial Opinion
UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES


From the New York Tribune.
Secretary Davis does better in his
second attempt in discussing nom
employment He admits that his
prior estimate, as that estimate was
construed and was bound to be con-
strued. was ambiguous. He now
explains that when he estimated that
5,735.OO0 fewer were on the pay
rolls on August l, 1921, than in
March, 1920, he did not mean this
number were unemployed.
II the figures did not mean un-
employment why were they publish
ed? II many had merely left in
dustrial establishments to take up
other work; II there was a return
home Of hundreds OF thousands OF
women who had gone in industry
temporarily when the labor demand
was at its peak; II all these things
and others OF equal pertinence were
true, why spread the notion that
nearly 100000 we're out OF work =?
There is no profit, as the Secretary
now comedies. in an exaggeratin Of
evils.
In the abnormal period OF early
1920, during the height OF the price
craze, there was overemployment-
probably 10 the number OF 1000, 1000.
Perhaps, the country over another
million have found other employ
ment; and since August 1 many fac
tories have resumed operations.
How many are out Of work now?
No one knows. It is about as pro-
ftable to inquire as to ask how old
is Ann. In the welter of statistics
one discerns only guesses, and not
very intelligent ones.
