NOTES.
District No. 10
Minneapolis, MINI.

Emergency Relief for Ex-Seryice Men.
Emergency treatment is provided
for ~ex-seryice men under the follow
Ing conditions:
(a) When an e%x-service ma is ta-
ken suddenly i'll and It is the opinion
that the Illness is due to military e
vice, disqualification or other relief
measures are provided on request OF
a Medical Representative Of the Y. s.
Veterans Bureau.
(b) When requests for hospitaliza-
ton or other relief measures are re-
ceived in the District Office from lay
men, such requests are Immediately
referred to the nearest Medical Repre-
sentative Of the Bureau, whose duty
it is to Investigate the ~ex-service mans
Illness, and render all necessary re-
lief. Representatives Of the U. S. Vet
Grams Bureau have been instructed to
telegraph the DistirctSSor Sub-District
Office for authority to handle men
gency. cases, in order to avoid delay
and error in rendering relief.
It has been the practice of the Bu-
reau to render relief to ex-service men
in all emergency conditions regard
less of whether a claim has been fled
or not. The mans health is the first
consideration and fling the claim sec
ondary. Although ordinarily and ac-
cording to regulations governing hos
pitalization relief measures are not to
be instituted until the claim is estab-
lished, the regulations state plainly
that in emergencies, specific regu1a-
lions are to be dfsregarded.
In the event that an e~x-service man
has assumed the expense Of treatment
for a condition that is later decided
to be the result Of military service. he
is entitled to reimbursement upon pre-
senting a certified statement.

Helping Disabled Buddies to Work.

Helping Disabled Buddies to Work.
The human interest side of work be-
ing done by the U. s. Veterans Bu-
reau, of which G. D. Hubbard is man
ager in District No. 10, is extremely
Interesting. This is especially SO when
the Veteran has successfully completed
his training and the Veterans Bureau
which has exercised supervision yer
him for many months sees him again
able to take his place in the world of
workers.
An unusually interesting example
OF this type is the cas of a young
man, who in the midst of the battle
of the Argonne at the zero hour went
over the top and faced the machine
gun fire. a short time later, wounded,
striving to keep up with his buddies
he staggered on, realizing that he had
been severely wounded. The pain in
his hips through which a machine u
bullet had passed, shattering the bone
in his left lee, compelled himto crawl
into a friendly shell hole, in which he
lay all day in the rain and far into
the night, unable to move, suffering
from thirst, unable to assist himself,
until his buddies found him and car
ried him back to the lines. He lay in
the hospital for weeks, finally return
ing home still lame. Jim was a hired
man, possessing a limited education,
but endowed with good sense and fine
disposition.
His case was taken up and he was
given vocational training by the U. 8.
Veterans Bureau, being trained for
tractor operating. Today he is operat-
ing a large tractor, building roads in
South Dakota, engaged in an essential
occupation and is a credit to himself
and the Veterans Bureau.
There are many other $ equally
interesting. It is such facts as these
that illustrate what the government,

To illustrate his point, Professor
Abbott reeited the experience Of bust

he said, the open shop" movement
was started and vigorously prosecuted
BY employers with the assistance ef
business men. through their Chamber
Of Commerce.
Naturally said Professor Abbott,
''union leaders could not maintain
their principles and continue 10 trade
with merchants and business houses
backing the movement. The result
was that much Of the merchandise was
oriered from mail order houses OF
from other cities. The business men
of Oklahoma City suffered, the work
ers themselves suffered, and the
cause was none other than the adop-
ton of the open shop"
The "open shop movement, Pro-

continued, have come TO the eonclus-

No scab would write home and say:
Dear mother, | am scabbing;
Pm working here in vile bull pen
At the only job worth grabbing.
| work, eat, sleep here on the job;
Am penned in like a crook,
And have armed guards protecting me
From the men whose job took
Nor would be write TO Mollie Dun
And say: "My Molly, dear,
| want to prove myself a man,
And that is why I'm here.
Pm praying 70 rthe day to come

| know, dear, you agree with me,
'Tis best to scab for bread"
Nor would he take his little kids
And place them on his knees,
And tell with pride of the time he
scabbed
On men who would be free.
But the man who fights for his union
cause
May tell with keenest pride,
His dear old mother. way back home,
Or the girl he would make his bride,
Exactly what his pursuit is;
He has no cause for shame;
And the kiddiesy too, are glad to hear

No one has failed 10 observe the
large number of building operations
now going on. There are among
these operations not only public and
semi public buildings, such as church.
es, school houses and municipal build
ings of one sort and another, but more
conspicuous than all of them is the
large number of housing operations
The reason for this becomes clear
when IL Is understood that in August
of this year rents had risen and the
cost of buildings had dropped until
the relation of rents and building costs
was reestablished on the 1915 ratio
Assuming that there was a proper
relationship between rents and build
ing costs in 1915, then the same con.
dition had been reestablished in Au-
gust of this year, and there should be
a fair return for investment in real
estate. The reestablishment of this
relation has apparently resulted in
the large amount of home building
for ownership and for rent, and IL is
reasonable to expect an active re-
sumption of speculative building II
rents remain at their present levels
and building costs stay where they
now are.
1t Is perilous at any time to reason
that because "A commodity is theoret'
Tally cheap it via be bought. The
past two years have proven that the
buyer has a great deal to say about
costs, at least over short peirod. II
Is obvious that building costs, like
all other costs, have taken a tremen'
dous drop from their peak, that they
have reached ut the present time
about the general level of commodity
prices, that in order TO further reduce
building costs il win either be neces-
sary for the men TO accept longer
hours or else necessary for them tc
take sharp decline in their living
standards. Dependent upon ones be
lief as to whether either of these
courses is likely, will be that indiyid'
ual's conclusion as to whether build
ing costs are going much lower thar
at present. IL does not appear that
building labor is profiteerng so fan
as rate of wages is concerned.
1t seems reasonable to predict thai
any drop in wages and prices of ma
terial sufficient to stimulate building
activity will be promptly followed b,
loss in efficiency Of labor and a rise
in the prices of material that vii
make today's costs look low. 1t il
hardly probable that the next two
years will show as favorable building
costs as can be obtained in the mex
few months.

MlSSTATE FACTS
IN REFERENCE TO
UNEMPLOYMENT
lBy DANIEL. ]. ToBlNl

A statement appeared in the press
OF the country within the last few
days, which reads as follows:
AS result of the great work
done by the Presidents unemploy-
ment Conference, since its adjourn
ment, unemployment has been re-
dueed TO the extent of 100000 per-
sons"
If this is not the worst misstate-
ment of facts that could be imag-
med, / would like TO know what liz.
Employed i'm the work of labor and
travelling throughout the country, we
come closely in touch with the unem-
ployment situation, and it seems to
US that instead of there being less
unemployment, there is more of IL
than there was two months ago. In
every city and town in the Middle
West factories have been reducing
their working forces, and especially
is this true in the automobile indus
try, and il is somewhat true of all in
dustries. Working forces are being
reduced and unemployment is on the
increase. You will notice within the
last ten days the railroad shops have
been cutting down on their help, and,
in many instances, closed down alto
gether. IL is also true that in the
navy yards and arsenels unemploy.
ment is more prevalent than ever be-
fore, because since the disarmament
conference took place work In the
navy yards has been almost COM
pletely shut down. Why Mr.. Hoover
should send out a report stating that
unemployment has been reduced 40
per cent is something ! can not I'M
derstand, because Mr. Hoover in
years past has been serupulously
truthful in all his statements. How
ever, since becoming member Of the
cabinet, | suppose he bases his au-
thority for making this statement on
reports that are sent in by welfare
workers travelling throughout the
country, while the truth of the matter
is, unemployment is not being re-
duced, it continues to prevail, and at
| the present time it looks as though
unemployment would continue on the
increase during the months of Janu-
airy and February.
