UNEMPLOYMENT
STALKS OVER The
MIDDLE WEST
By SCOTT NEARING
Federated Press

Charity organizations and well
fare departments in middle west
ern cities face a situation in Feb
ruary, 1880 which is without par
allel except for the winter of 1921
%. Tens of thousands of mem-
ployed men and women walk the
streets looking for work, with
rent overdue and food credit ex-
hausted.
The Chicago "slave market" is
thronged with men. All day long
they crowd the sidewalks in West
Madison St., spilling over into the
side streets and alleys and gather
ing in mobs in front of any en-
ment office that advertises for
help. Most of the employment Of
flee windows have chalked up the
sign "No Shipment Today"
A census of employment taken
in Toledo shows that for every
hundred men working in Febru-
airy, 1929 there were a men work
ing in February, 1880. Some of
the more important plants are
practically closed down and there
is no chance for work outside of
an occasional snow-shovelling job.
Estimates place the number of
unemployed in Detroit somewhere
between 100000 and $4,000. Day
after day they gather before en-
ployment offices in lines four deep
that extend for blocks. An ad for
one man will bring a thousand ap-
plicants.
Cleveland has faced hard times
for the last three years. Unem-
ploymens there is as severe as il
is in other neighboring cities, but
since it is of longer duration many
of the "out-of-works" have driftec
|, to other places, looking for jobs.
The Charities of Louisville, KY
are facing late winter and spring
in which relief demands from the
|. unemployed, evicted and other dis
tress cases are overtaxing thei
, budgets. Present demands indi

Road to Equality.
In a circular letter to all Lee
gion posts in his state, Dill has
declared that his proposed amend
ment is the only road to actual
equality of treatment of men and
of wealth in time of war, since
the constitution now forbids the
taking of wealth without payment
to the private owners. He argues
that the Legion has declared for
equal treatment as between dol
lars and men. Hence it should
support his measure, and the more
readily since men whose property
is taken can stin acquire other
property, but the man whose life
is taken by the state cannot re-
cover his life.
Preparing to address the Sen
ate on this issue, Feb. IL, Dill
said he would read into the Con-
gressional Record an endorsement
of his proposed amendment, given
TO Federated Press in Los An
geles by a Boston educator who
was formerly commander of Paul
Revere post of the Legion. This
educator expressed the belief that
the majority of war veterans, If
they understood the Dill measure
would support it.
To Militarize Industry.
The Reed wainwright scheme OF
creating a commission to study
and report universal draft
scheme is backed by the nationa
commander and national legisla-
tive committee of the Legion
which thus far has ignored DilPi
challenge. The purpose of the
Legion chiefs scheme is the en-
actment, in time of peace, of
law under which, at the approach
of war or warlike emergency, thu

The government would be unde
