It was splendid work indeed that resulted in the rescue of 194 per- sons from a San Francisco hospital after fire had originated in the K ray room. This place, it appears, was fortunately close to where a heroic telephone switchboard operator was stationed. To Miss Juanita Costen- border, the operator. goes the credit of instantly sounding the alarm which enabled the patients to be taken to safety. One wonders, how ever, whether the management Of the University of California hospital learned much from the Cleveland Clinic disaster.

George A. Parker, registrar Of motor vehicles in Massachusetts says that out of more than 30,000 persons questioned by his office last year regarding automobile accidents in which they had figured, only six were truthful enough to admit they had been driving faster than 20 miles an hour. Only one man out of the 30,00o admitted he had been at fault. Still there are people who wonder why traffic cops are inclined to be hardboiled.

present unemployment is a product of prosperity"

Industry is becoming so organized that it can use, Professor Leiserson states, only the more efficient work CTS. The less efficient, the less adaptable, the more unemployable. lose their jobs and are not easily absorbed in other lines of activity.
 As a result, "a surplus of labor, more or less permanently unemploy- ed," develops to increase the prob lem of business and industrial sta- bility.
 Thus we find plans under way for the stabilization of employment, a subject that President Hoover is ex- pected to touch upon in his next an nual address, and it is being taken up in the business conferences under way.

When there is excessive unem- ployment in a community it is in the same fix as the manufacturer with an idle plant on his hands.
 Unemployment, from a business standpoint, brings about a shrinkage Of the market upon which prosperity depends.
 When thousands of workers are laid off and their wages cease, the purchasing power of the community Is reduced, and business enterprises can make neither the same volume Of sales nor the same profits as if the workers were employed and drawing steady wages. When virtually every industrial community throughout the land is confronted with the same problem there are hard times.

How to do away with unemploy- ment is one of the unsolved prob lens of the age. We enjoy what is termed an advanced civilization, but we still suffer from periodical periods. Of unemployment, when there are more goods on hand than can be distributed, and when there is such a reduced buying power that the accumulated goods can only be distributed after long effort and at a serious sacrifice.
 In periods of unemployment every body loses, including the employers.
 Yet there has never been an actual determination of what constitutes normal unemployment-or normal employment-in this country. The first countrywide figures of this na- ture will be obtained through the census of unemployment to be taken as Of April l, 1880, in connection with the next decennial enumeration of the population.
 What the nation needs to deter mine is whether in this age of mass production subnormal employm ent can exist side by side with super normal business activity-as some observers claim exists at present. New machine processes which have been rapidly introduced, and which have contributed largely to corpora ton earnings, have at the same time displaced large numbers Of wage earners, 1t is said.

DOCKERS RETURN

Won, Indicated
by Lack of Details

BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 22.-The
Maritime Workers Federation here
voted to end the strike of 1000
lockers and 800 chauffeurs which
has been in progress here for the
past two days.
The Daily Worker received news
earlier in the week of the lockers
strike which was against the en-
ployment by the bosses Of so-called
inspectors" who were fighting the
union, also a wage raise was de-
manded after the walkout. The
dispatch today makes no mention
of the terms on which the lockers
went back to work, and this omis-
sion, which is customary with news
agencies when the workers win a
strike indicates that the lockers
won.
