restricted in many lines. Inflated
costs supply one explanation for the
restraint, but loss of confidence must
take the foremost position, as a rea-
son for the present. hesitation which
governs all forward operations. This
lack of confidence is not only the
average business mans feelings in
regard to his markets, but it also
grows out of his reaction to the pres
ent political discussion" The Chi
cago Tribune of March IL gives the
attitude Of business men highly
alarmed over the economic situation:
"The more pessimistic look for
Summertime slump. Expansions
of mills, factories and shops already
are being held back. Already
there are indications that expansion
is being curtailed in some lines"

employment in the state of New York
and Illinois during February does not
mean at all that the economic depres-
sion which began in the middle of
1923 is passing over. On the con-
trary the general outlook is of ag-
gravation.
The Volume of Unemployment.
It it an unquestiona5fe fact that
there exists a heavy unemployment
today. If no other proof existed the
Industrial Information Employment
Bulletin" of January, 1924, of the
United States Department of Labor
is an absolute and complete proof.
This Bulletin gives a description of
the employment situation not only
for every state of the country, but
for the most important industrial
centers within the states. This very
important report is so detailed that
we cannot repeat it here. But it
gives the best basis for judging the
situation to everyone who takes the
trouble to study the report carefully.
With very few exceptions the picture
presented by this report Of the whole
country is of an increasing and
spreading unemployment.
But if we wanted to size up the
true volume of the present unem-
ployment we would have to compare
it with the unemployment Of other
periods. If we should want to form
judgment as to whether the present
unemployment = of mass character
or not, we could do so by comparing
it with the last great mass .unem-
ployment in the last great economic
crisis Of 1928. Never in its his
tory did the United States exper-
renee a greater and deeper unem-
ployment than in the crisis Of 1921
%. The best study, the work Of

MILFORD Isbell King, employment
Hours and Earnings in Prosperity
and Depression, United States, 1920
o." says: "5,O33,O00 fewer workers
were on the pay rolls in the early
part of 1922 than were employed in
the third quarter of 1920. However,
part of this decline was seasonal.
If we compare the third quarters, we
discover that there were 4,102,000
fewer people at work in 1921 than
in 1920, or about one-seventh of all
who had been employed at the earlier
date The maximum decline of en-
ployment during the great crisis
when 100000 workers were out Of
jobs was IA per cent. Today on the
present depression we have no fig
ures which we could compare with
this general figure. But we have
two partial figures: the volume of
factory employment and the volume
Of railroad employment. The March
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-03-15

The year 1920 has the index num-
Der of factory employment, 104. The
year 1922 shows 90. That means a
decline of IA per cent. The figures
of Kings book show that the maxi
mum number of factory workers in
1920 was 11,370,00O and in 1922,
1921 900. That's a decline Of g.
$4,000. That shows that decline of
Ia per cent was a decline of 2,749, 900
employed workers.
The voirme Of factory employment
declined from June, 1923, to January,
1924, from l03 to SO, decline Of
5 per cent. AS the number of en-
ployed factory workers in the middle
Of 1928 was almost the same as in
1920, therefore, decline If per
cent means decline of about 975,-
900 workers.
The heaviest unemployment ever
experienced in the economic history
Of the United States showed during
the crisis OF 1922 the maximum
decline of 2,749,O00 factory workers.
The present depression shows a de-
cline of almost one million factory
workers. This figure alone justifies
the assertion that unemployment ia
mass phenomenon today.
The other figures that we can COM
pare are the figures on the railroad
employment situation. The number
