Speaker at KiWanis Club Tells
 Of Unemployment

IL was only an old shoe, but it sold for ssl. A boys shoe, worn through at the sole. uppers almost completely gone, bearing evidence Of. having been retained in service long after the average American boy would have consigned 1t to the rubbish heap.
 The shoe was one purchased from the son of q coal miner in South Wales by President R. G. Ogilby Of Trinity college. It was sold to the kiWanis club today for $31. raised through collection taken up by Judge Morris D. Sake. The mon- ey will go towards buying leather to repair shoes for the sons of miners who have not worked for almost two years and who are existing on the very fringe Of starvation.
 Dr. Ogllby recently made an ln- spection of the coal regions of South Wales for the British government. He found e5u,o00 miners who have not worked for from IS months to two years. With their dependents and with small shopkeepers in that section lie said this makes about a million people who are living on the dole system" or what they call "un- employment insurance' sum com ing from the government and from workmen who are employed else , where and which amounts to about B week per family.
 Market Gone
 The lack of employment in the coal regions Dr. Ogilby found was due to a lost market. Welsh coal, which has been considered the best coal for steam purposes. IS being supplanted on the ocean by Oil burning liners, France has develop cd her own coal resources and Italy. under Mussolini has developed im- lnense hydro-electric plants. This has thrown the mines Of south Wales idle and rendered the coal in- dustry there idle.
 The government is attempting 10 transport the miners and their fam flies, Many thousands have been sent 70 Canada, but due to long periods without proper food they have been physically unable to stand the work in the wheat fields. The plan for removal Of people from the coal regions involves the transportation to other places Of en- ployment ot 10000 persons month.
 Carl Swanson was awarded the at tendance prize today.
