Washington-FP-Bin Taft once
answered heckler's question as
to what man is to do who Is
broke, unemployed, cannot get a
job, and has a wife and kids 10

his indifference, replied God
knows" Taft was President then
and he knew that the social svs-
tenn under which American bust
ness is carried on does not provide
for the jobless poor.
Calvin Coolidge, less than two
years out of the White House.
tells William Green, president of
the American Federation of La
Dor, that Green is sound in oppos-
ing "saddling the wage Gamers
with unemployment insurance. But
he hastily adds, Green is all wrong
when he proposes that employers
take care of the unemployed by
providing more jobs and taking
less profit for themselves. Cool
idge goes no to admonish Green
and all the workers, that labor has
been raised to new heights Of
dignity by Coolidge prosperity
and accordingly labor must stanC
responsible for any suffering tina
may come along. Cal finds tina
it is up to the working man t,
buy the goods he produced whel
