Jobs MORE PLENTIFUL
WITH SPRINGS COMING

WASHINGTON, d. c.. March 31.-
Some very definite figures to prove
| that the tide of business depression
has turned and that the worst is over
were made public today by the Prcsi-
dents conference of unemployment.
Reports from the United States em-
ployment service bureaus showing the
trend of unemployment in the entire
country have been charted and indi-
cate a distinct gain.
The mass Of statistics dealing with
the hundreds of thousands of sppli-
cants and the jobs available for them,
have been figured on; a. percentage
basis, and is comes out that for every
100 Jobs available at the various em-
ployment bureaus, there were 226 ap-
plicants, in January, 205 in February,
and 1914 for the first ten days in
March, showing gradual drop. In
other words, there were only jobs in
january for 444 per cent of the appli-
cants while in March the number hal
gone up to 81 per cent. Assuming
that 100000 were iobless in jam
airy, this shows worl. for 245,00 per-
sons, or more than the population of
Delaware.
For every 100 registrations SO
found jobs in January, Al in. February
and 43 in March. With the falling
off In applicants there has been a
corresponding gradual increase in the
number for whom work Is found
which figures out at a per cent gain
officials of the conference are now
a good deal concerned as to thc best
methods to bring about the salvage of
the many men who, during the winter.

en- 'nto the dependent class.

LA TOILETTE RAPS
 ADMINISTRATION ON
 ATTACK ON LABOR
Striving to Make Workers Here Worse Than Coolie of 1900;
 Says Senator.
By CHARLES M. KELLEY

Washington, D. C., Feb. 24. - Not withstanding the American worker is today receiving less real wages than before the war, the American employer is determined to force him back to still luI<er wages. An accurate comparison of union wage scales with living costs covering period of twenty years shows conclusively that, measured by the amount of food, shelter and clothing his pay will purchase, the worker now IS ln- finitely worse off than he was at the be- ginning of the present century.
 So declares Senator Robert M. La Toilette of Wisconsin, who recently de livered in the Senate, perhaps the most sensational deliverance yet made on the condition of the working people.
 In terms of what money will buy, the track-laborer on the railroads today is receiving in exchange for his toll only $341 a year, Senator LaFollette said That means that these men, hundreds oi thousands of them, have been reduced to level of $1 a day-which shows thai they have "got back to normalcy" with . vengeance. Not satisfied with thrusting them below the level of subsistence, rail road managers are today before the United States Railroad Labor Board de. manding still further wage cuts. The railroads ask the Labor Board to make the daily wage of laborers $1.5O for { ten-hour Jay. Measured by the pur' chasing power of 1900, this will bt equivalent to only fifty cents.
 "This," says Senator LaFollette "would be less than Chinese coolies were paid in the days when the Pacific rail roads were permitted to import then freely and exploit them unmercifully." Senator LaFollette directed the atten ton of the Senate to a great conspiracy that has been matched by the master! of American finance and business" to de stroy labor unions which alone stand between workers and serfdom. Labol is being crushed, he said, by the pro cesses of unemployment and wage cut

ORGANIZED LABOR PLEASFOR FARMER
 BEFORE CONCESS
Asks Government to Protect Pro- ducers Against Drive of
 Profteers.

Members of the House Committee on Agriculture the other day listened in anna cement to appeals made by the ac- credited representatives of organized la bor for the relief of American farmers. These workers asked that the agricul- tural population be given a government loan of 810O,OOO,O0O, to stabilize prices, that they may tide themselves over the serious situation into which they have been forced by the sane interests that arc now astride the necks of the Amer iCan workers.
 It is not surprising that members of Congress were stunned by the most un- usual spectacle of the consumer demand ing better prices for the producer of the food he consumes. It was just the reverse of the attitude taken by the profiteering middlemen, the 6nanciers and all the other in-between fellows who get tn farmer and the industrial worker both coming and going.
 Organized labor took the position that what contributes to prosperity of the farmer will also aid the city worker. Here 1t was on solid economic ground. Everybody but pig-headed, selfish big business realizes that it Is impossible to help or hurt any groups of citizens with out at the same time helping or hurting all other groups. This lesson has not yet been learned by those who are de- manding the subjugation and i1npoverish- ment of industrial and agrarian work CTS, but they will get it sooner or later For the nation will be called upon to pay the memorable penalty of the out raeeous treatment it is now according its wealth producers and when pay day ccmes Big Business will be compelled to pay through the nose. When it falls 1t will be crash worth going miles to witness. For, as old Joe Gang said "The bigger they are, the harder they fall" Big Business IS superimposee upon the toll and sweat of the workers 2t exists by and through them. If tn, workers are reduced to beggary, th'

ting. To-day there are five or six mill lions of toilers in the United States who are out of work" continued Senator La Toilette, and their families are hungry, to the end that their spirit may be crushed and a new generation of serfs may be bred"
 This evil combination against the workers Is made more formidable and terrifying because it has enlisted the ac- tive support and cooperation of the na- tiona1 administration and the courts
 "The United States Supreme Court and the lower courts" Senator LaFol- 1ette charged ,''are depriving the work CTS of their weapons of defense one by one and seeking to bind them with chains, so that their masters may with impunity scourge them into submis- sion."
 "This effort to crush labor" says Senator LaFollette, land reduce free born Americans to the condition of Rus sian serfs, may succeed, although l still have such faith in the courage and in- tegrity of the American people that l believe they will finally achieve glori- ous victory, so overwhelming as that which crushed the slave power in 1865. But, in any event, success can be achieved by these sinister forces only after a period of strife and chaos which IS too horrible to contemplate, and their sue cess, however and whenever accom- plished, will mark the downfall of all the American republic"
 Any attempt to further depress wages the Senator said, would be disastrous He contended that the worker today is living below the level of decent sub- sistence. The worker during the war did not proflteer, contrary to popular belief, but, like Alice in Wonderland was compelled to run twice as fast to keep in the same place. The calmnnies uttered against labor, Senator LaFollette said, were shameless, wanton and wick. ed. While prohteering was rife in busi ness and finance, labor contributed loyal ly and generously to the winning of the war, and Is getting in reward treatmen so brutal, so unjust, that decent opinion must stand appalled, at its mere con temptation.

 FRIENDS

In pursuance of the movement which has for its purpose the urging of all work ing people to give their combined support to reputable concerns that have uniformly shown a friendly attitude toward the cause of Labor, there will here be found a directory of enterprises which we feel can be conscientiously endorsed and which are, therefore, justly entitled to our good will and united cooperation.
 1t does not necessarily follow that con- cerns which are not here represented are unfriendly, nevertheless those listed on this page have demonstrated their friendliness in various ways and should have our sup port.
 Cooperation is always two-way matter and it is our duty to cooperate with those who cooperate with us. Consult this directory carefully before making any pur- chaSeS.

 Many thousands of small merchants have already got their lesson. They have discovered, when too late and much to their chagrin, that the dope fed to them by their Chamber of Commerce was all wrong. When money was roll ing in they never stopped to inquire from whence it came. Now they know that more than two-thirds of their customers are the despised toilers, who they have been defaming and traducing, and their cash registers tell them that these work CTS are not coming around as often as once they did, for the simple reason that many of them are jobless, while prac- tlcally all others are working for re- duced wages that are barely adequate to keep body and soul together
 In going before the committee of Congress with their plea for a square deal for agriculture the workers dernon- strated their kinship with all who suffer
 If it would help the farmer, they said they would be willing to pay a little more for their food, although only God knew how they would do it. They thought that if the government were properly interested in its subects the farmer could be succored without further burdening the urban dweller, but that meant the suppression of greedy niddlemen, with whom the gov ernment seems to have a great deal of sympathy. But, in any event, they want ed the farmer assisted over his emerg- | ency, and that was the most heartening | evidence of disinterested unselfshness seen in ashington in ages.

Reduced Steel Output-European steel manufacturers, 1t IS said, are able to land their products in Aus tralia at considerably lower figure than similar products can be produced there.
