JObL.ESS BUILD
BIG CONVENTION
Chicago City Council
Flouts the Hungry

CHICAGO, June 1S.-The Chicago
Council of Unemployed was finally
granted permission to appear before
the City Judiciary Committee, of
which Oscar Nelson of the Chicago
Federation of Labor is chairman,
to present the demands of the I'm
employed Council. The committee
of the unemployed council presented
its demands in the name of $4,000
workers who demonstrated in the
streets of Chicago on March de-
manding Work or Wages.
The presentation of these de-
mands to the City Council is only
a small phase of the activity of the
unemployment movement organized
and lead by the T.U.U.L. Neither
the unemployed workers nor the
working class organizations involved
in the movement expect any serious,
consideration of their demands by
the bosses city council. The prin-
cipal activity of the Chicago Coun-
ell of the Unemployed consists in
the mobilization of the unemployed
and employed workers to fight for
demands of the unemployed. All
the resources of the unemployed
council are being strained to make
a huge success of the National I'm
employment Convention called by
the T.U.U.L. for July As in the
Ashland Auditorium in Chicago. The
principal demands of unemployment
program are: Work or Wages, and
7-hour day, 5-day week.
Census Hides Numbers.
The published census returns show
147,152 jobless in Chicago, about
four and a half per cent of the
population, and these figures are
favorable to capitalist propaganda.
The Unemployed Committee ell
ected by the workers has persistent
ly demanded the right of the work
ers to present their demands to the
city council. This was flatly refused
on several occasions. On June a
a delegation of ID went to the city
council again and demanded the
right to enter its meeting. When
the delegation came down they were
met by over fifty policemen, and
were not permitted in.
Breen, Thompson henchman, who
spoke in the name of the City Coun.
Gil, said that he was sorry that
they were too busy, and were I'M
able to consider the demands of the
unemployed.
Revival In Activities!
Every section of the city is ar
ranging Unemployed Mass Meet
ings. Section 2 (stockyards) ar
ranged seven meetings in one week.
Most of them were in the Negro
territory. Meetings are being called
in Cicero, where there are thousands
of unemployed workers around the
Western Electric plant.
Workers fraternal organizations
and trade unions, are electing dele
gates for the July and 5 National
Unemployment Convention. The I'm
employed Council has decided to
have large demonstration in Union
Park. The park authorities have
refused the use of the park, but
the jobless are determined to get
it. Union Park has great historical
significance for the workers, since
the time of the Haymarket affair.

Happily, This Is a Wide Country
Duluth Herald)

If this nation were no larger than the drought area,
the combination of heat and drought would undoubtedly
have been a m: jor calamity.
But because it is so large a country, with SO many
varieties Of climate, at this moment nobody knows far
sure whether the drought on the whole has not brought
more good than harm.
Certainly it has brought harm, but certainly i. has
also brought good.
In individual cases. and perhaps in some communities,
1t has done so much harm that outside help may be
needed. Z Fortunately these cases probably re much
rarer than many suppose.
The loss in production, which is celebrating the grain
surplus that recently caused so much concern, has been
followed by a rise in prices that in most cases, and per-
haps in the country as a whole, will more than wipe out
the loss.
A farmer whose crop has been cut twenty per cent by
drought, but whose prices have been increased twenty
five per cent by the same drought. will make more money
than he would have made II the weather had behaved
as usual.
The farms that are a total loss, and the communities
that are anywhere near a total loss, are very few. Elk
IRENE conditions are highly localized and widely scat
tered. When the drought breaks, as it will almost any
moment now, it will be possible accurately to analyze
the results. and it Is ten to one that the country will
find that 1t has not been as badly hit as it feared,
and it is an even bet that the general effect will
prove beneficial.

Editorial Comment
Something to Think About

SociologiSts and biologists will be kept busy for many
months by the task of Interpreting the 1890 population
figures compiled by the census bureau. Some of the re-
turns carry obvious morals; others will require illumina-
ton from several points of view.
What the United States supreme court called 1.-The
American empire" Is growing as a whole and in virtually
every constituent part. In the last decade continental
United States scored the largest numerical gain in its
history.
The population of the American empire is estimated at
49,, 500, 1903; the population of the continental United
States at 122, 729 y6l5. The rate of growth in the last
decade-161 per cent-in the continental area Is not un-
precedented. Indeed, 1t is lower than the rate in any
other decade in the history of the republic, with the
exception of that ended in 1920. But the numerical in
crease during the last ten years-over 17,O000O0-is re-
markable because it was made despite rather drastic
legislation restricting immigration from the old world,
and despite a declining birth rate.
To what extent immigration, legitimate and bootleg,
from Mexico and other American countries contributed
to the numerical increase, is an interesting question de-
manding scientific attention.
The United States Is growing and multiplying, but
there is nothing strange in that phenomenon. The re-
public is young, robust, progressive and, as a rule, pros
porous. Its natural resources are far from exhausted or
from nearing exhaustion, though rational conservation
is imperative in various directions. Technically, econom-
ically and culturally American achievement and prospects
are the wonder and inspiration Of the world. There are
certain trends to be studied and controlled, notably the
tendency to too rapid urbanzaton. But, in the main
the census figures register and reflect healthy and
authentic progress.

It Is No Place for Chopin
(PittSburgh PoSt-G Gazette

When 1gnace Paderewski plays a Chopin nocturne be-
fore an audience he can bring the hundreds to the quiet,
dreamy and romantic mood suited to the theme. Let
him but try the same masterpiece in the quiet OF a hotel
room and the result is different. The test has just been
made in Paris. AS the soft and mellow notes fell from
the skilled fingers of the pianist, a pounding came upon
the door and a voice belonging to the occupant of the
next room cried out. when you get through running
those scales. perhaps I can get some sleep. It's terrible
that noise"
Among the things which appeal from the incident Is
the fact that an eminent musician may like a joke, for
Paderewski told the story upon himself. Another is

ter by whom it may be made, which Should give con-

Anniversary of
ERNEST SETON'S BIRTH

On Aug. IA, 1860, Ernest Thompson
Seton, famous American artist. au-
thor and lecturer, and one Of the
originators of the Boy Scout move
mcnt in America, was born at South
Shields, England.
Following his education at Toronto
Collegiate Institute and at the Royal
Academy in London, Seton served
as naturalist to the government in
Manitoba. He soon became promi-
nent through clever stories about ami
mails, although such veteran natural
lists as John Burroughs and expert
enced woodsmen criticized him for
ascribing to animals mental and
moral characteristics not evinced In
real life.

The Children's Heritage

Every boy has q right to a marble game in his own back
yard. And every little girl is entitled to a crooked apple
tree under which she may spread her dolls and chairs
and dishes and play at keeping house.
But the heritage is being removed. Back yards are
going. Freedom to romp and dream is giving way to the
god of efficiency.
Approximately one-half of all living accommodations
being provided by newconstruction in cities of the United
States are apartments, it is indicated by the U. S. labor
departments latest study of city building activity. Data
for the year of 1929, just made public, show that 48.6 per
cent of all families housed in new construction last year
moved into the apartment type of dwelling. There was
a corresponding decrease in single" houses.
Apartments may be time and labor savers for adults.
they may simplify the business of housekeeping but they
c~omplicate the duties OF home mi if there are chill
dren in the family.
Four walls are not enough for any child. His kingdom
lies outside. where the sun shines and the wind blows
and his gang waits But if there is no yard where he
may wander and be contented his vision is going to be-
come as dwarfed as a body which does not know the out
door world.
A child is happier and healthier, more in tune with
life, when he watches the seeds push through the soil
in his own garden; when he hears the birds that sing at
morning in his own trees; when he has a rope swing
from which he can look far into the tree-tops, and q sand
pile to maze bridges and dams or mud cakes.
A child who is reared in an apartment house has no
room for pets. A dog would be in the way. He can't bring
a stray puppy home from school to warm and feed it
now and then. Rabbits are beyond the pail.
He cant feel a sense of beauty stirring in his own
strange little heart, just because the roses are pink and
fragrant on the bushes and the sweet peas are beginning
to grow. He doesn't even have a lawn to sprinkle, with
the cool fine spray splashing his bare, tanned feet.
Little boys and girls have a thousand nerves to make
them wiggle and not one to help them keep still. Apart
ment houses which boast of the living facilities which
they can pack into a small amount of space. may be con-
ven1ent for adults but plainly they were not intended for
children. A red-blooded. strong child certainly

A New Crisis in WASHINGTON

The game of pussy -wants-a-corne seems to be under
way again in Washington.
Last year, you remember, the Juvenile game was staged
around the dinner tables of official Washington, in an
attempt to see who should have the higher social seating,
Alice Longworth, as wife of the speaker of the house, or
Mrs. Edward Everett Gam, as hostess for her brother,
Vice President Curtis.
That was finally dropped and the two women sat down
and ate their hors d'oeuvres quite socially.
Now 1t has been announced that Mrs. Longworth will
aid Mrs. Ruth Mccormick, an intimate friend, in the lat
ters campaign for the senatorial nomination in Illinois.
The comment by a woman editor followed that Alices
aid would probably resolve itself into merely posing for
the photographers, and this Immediately provoked a
storm.
Whether Alice has profile views, front views, or no
views taken, isn't important. But people have to realize,
regardless of their own opinions concerning the social
mixup, that there isn't any other woman who can get the
public interest, whether she wants it or not, in the way
that Mrs. Longworth can.
