breadline stage, but 1927 has seen
no shortage Of labor.
During the first nine months Of
the year most of the larger indus
tries reported a labor surplus and
this was especially true in the sum-
mer. when industrial jobs were
scarcest.
Various opinions have been adj
vanced as to the amount Of unem-
ployment existing. A speaker at
the recent American Federation Of
Labor convention said that more
than million persons were jobless
and about 100000 working part.

count the hundreds of thousands
OF millions-who have no jobs.
The best available survey Of ma
tional conditions appears to be the
monthly Industrial Employment In
formation Bulletin of the Depart
nlent Of Labor which, issued under
he auspices Of prosperity ad-
ministration," certainly does not err
IN the side of pessimism. There

ployment than December. but q
slump was reported in a few major
industries and bad weather retarded
nearly all outdoor work, for which
better conditions were expected.
Industry marked time" in Febru-
airy; very few major industries in
creased their forces and several cut
them down. Good weather was ex-
pected to alleviate the outdoor situa-
ton in March.
But March brought "inclement
weather in practically every state"
and the employment increase did not
reach expectations, although gen.
eral improvement was noted. Sew
eral major industries increased
forces and the all-around outlook
vas described as Every bright"
April showed a "slight upward
trend" in several big industries and
outdoor activities increased, but the
employment map in the flood ter
ritory showed large blank spaces and
"a great many men and women"
were idle in the lower Mississippi
valley.

The next chapter, even more interesting than
the struggle just witnessed between the two
men, is now in the act ng and hes yet to be
written. How shall it be written?
Is Trotzky going the way Of the complaining
old man who raises his voice vainly in the
streets and wherever he can find an audience?
Or is he already on the way Lack, gathering
about him the nucleus Of new leadership and
preparing for the moment to strike? These
are interesting conjectures. The next few years
hold the answer.
Trotzky at least knows this--that plaudits,
after all, are empty and Fame hurries along.
People have>a way of speeding Fame on her
journey. It's just natural trait, perhaps.

1t was to be expected that the political camp
opposed to Governor Sorlie would object to the
special session call. Anyway don't overlook
the vital fact that it is legislature friend
ly to Governor Soriie's opponc It's and that in
good time the governor will give his rcacons
for calling session. There is no statute that
compes him to issue a manifesto until he pro-
claims the date OF such session. In the mean
time, we can all enjoy the fine Indian sum-
mer; the farmers can get ther fall work done
SO they can read the proceedings of the ses-
sion, thus begul.-g tie long, tedious and chilly
nights out where the winds howl out where

THE PROBLEM, OF AID TO THE

Dear Sir:
The Governors visit was indeed

earnestly hope, that at last something
may be accomplished, after this unusual

success of the poorer planters. enormously

men adequately fitted and -well-versed in

left them financially unable to bear no
against the adversely brought on by a
long spell Of dry weather, and they,
these unfortunates S haze no aid.
The Governor was IN the Island during
the weeks of very fine weather lately, and
is also quite aware OF the discussion regard
ing a sun of money under Government
control called the Immigration Fund. !"
During past years that sum was consider
ably over 100, 600 dollars, part Of the
amount has been loaned to two Sugar

words, 'stoDped the immigration" so
that although it was held, that a need Of
