ETIQUETTE IN ELEVATOR
Most Difference of Opinion as tt
Whether Man Should Remove
Hat or Not

The matter of uncovering the head
out Of difference to the ladies present
in an elevator, is one that is constant
ly recurring. There are men who
think this form of courtesy is called
for and there are many more who en-
tertain the diametrically opposite
opinion, and fail to see the consist
ency of this attention in public ele
vator when no man thinks of remov-
ing his hat when there are ladies
present in street car or other public
conveyance. The women like this at
tention, however, and many resent it
when it is not forthcoming. Along
this line it will be noticed, since the
partial abolition of the hat pin, that
the office girls are given to doffing
their hats as soon as they enter the
portals of the building and carry their
headgear to the wardrobe. Recently
on an elevator in a Philadelphia office
building there was a solitary girl
with her hat in her hand, while all the
other occupants of the car were men
with their hats on their heads. AS
she left the car she turned to the
operator and said: "It looks as if I
were the only gentleman in the
party"

Unemployment Is
Result of Earthquake

Among the many consequences of
the earthquake in Japan, one of the
most serious was unemployment. The
destruction of $4,000 factories rend-
cred tens of thousands of skilled and
unskilled workers workless. Many
intellectual workers also lost their
positions.
In order to cope with this situation,
more than twenty new employment
offices were created by the Govern
ment in various parts of Tokyo and
five in Yokohama.
Banks, firms and factories whose
premises were destroyed were en-
couraged to send their employees to
their branches, where they had
branches, instead of discharging
them.
The demand for labor in all parts
of the country was investigated with
a view to bringing about an adjust
ment of the demand and supply over
a wide area, and facilitating the
movement of labor.
which were taken to carry out this
policy, it may be mentioned that a
number of motor cars were obtained
on which posters were erected which
read, "Give work to the victims of
the earthquake" In these cars, mem
bers of the staff Of the employment
exchanges made tour of all the will
ages and towns around Tokyo, seek
ing to obtain work for the unemploy-
ed. The result of this effort was con-
siderable.

TRADE UNIONISM IN RUSSIA

The change in trade union member
ship in Soviet Russia is worthy OF
consideration. According to statistics
recently published by the Information
al Labor Office the memberships in
trade unions in October, 1921, were
7,938,6OO In April, 1922, this num-
Der had decreased to 5,846,80O, and in
October, 1922, to 4,546.OO0. During
the year 1923, however, reversal of
this movement set in and according
to the census of October, 1923, trade
union memberships had increased to
5,541 900. The increase during the
year 1923 is divided among all occu-
pations and unions, but the greatest
increase is reflected in industrial
trade unions, approximately 100000:
Agricultural trade unions increased
their membership by 10000; trans
port and commerce unions by 10000;
Soviet employees and professional
unions increased by approximately
100000; and a scattered increase in
miscellaneous unions was also reflect
ed.
