HANDY men

Apprentices Shut Out

Washington. = The skilled crafts

''In the building trades, at least"
said Mr.. Stewart, "there seems to be
no shortage of material for training,

PART Time WORK
In Plants Can Be Put On
Year Basis

Unemployment can be put
on a regular basis and seasonal un-
employment would, to large extent
end, says the A. F. of L. executive
council in it's report to the annual
convention.
Nearly all industries find their
operations seasonal to some extent,
it is stated. "But much seasonal en-
ployment is preventable. 1t is COM
mon knowledge that many plants
have found it not only possible but
advantageous to regularize their pro-
duction schedules so that uniform
operation is maintained throughout
the year and their work forces are
given continuous employment.
SIN automobiles, the industry need
ed 475,000 workers for six months Of
the year-these men and women had
to depend on the automobile industry
for tehir living. How can these work
ers maintain their standard of living
while their incomes are cut off?
''In clothing factories $4,000 are
needed for six months, but 1000 of
them are unemployed for five months
nearly all the other half year, and
1000 are laid off for three months.
In cotton textiles 431,0 900 are en-
ployed for six months and $4,000 are
laid off for four months and $1,000
for two omnths. Here are $4,000
workers, in these three industries
alone who lost from two to five
months last year. This immense loss
of income means a very serious low
ering Of income standards"

idle MENACE IS
NOT TEMPORARY

New York. q Unemployment is
not passing evil, but it is danger
to the present social organization, "
said DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbia University, in
an address to students.
DIR. Butler declared that the des-
peration of millions of jobless in this
country and abroad may lead them
to attempt something new unless
the present order is made more just
and attractive"
DR.. Butler referred to unemploy-
ment in other countries and said this
vast dislocation of industry "is not
an ordinary depression" He said
that world leadership is faced by one
of the most troubled and disturbed
periods history has ever known.

of the plan and his organization is
counted out, at least for the time be-
ing. Neither the bricklayers, ma
sons and plasterers nor the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers are in the department. Thus the
three largest internationals are not
in the new set-up. :
The building trades convention
rang with condemnation of the ma
tional administration in Washington
because of it's method of awarding
contracts and with charges that there
is lack of sincerity in the program to
rush construction to relieve unem-
ployment.
The proposal that industry adopt
five-hour day for men and ten-hour
day for plant and machinery, sub
mitted to the metal trades depart
ment convention by its officers was
approved and ordered laid before the
American Federation of Labor con-
vention.
Pre-convention sessions also were
held by the board of governors of
the Allied Printing Trades and by
the executive board of the Photo En-
gravers' Union.

100000
Idle Factory Workers
Farms and Offices Not
Included

Boston.-"We estimate that unem-
ployment averaged 100000 wage
earners during the first six months
of 1880, not including farm laborers
and office workers." says the A. F.
of l.. executive council in its report
to the annual convention.
'In both the United States and
Canada unemployment this year has
been very much above last year. For
the first five months the averages
show that So per cent more were out
of work in the United States and 83
per cent more in Canada. Unemploy
ment of union members averaged Fl
per cent in the United States for the
first seven months of 1880 and 10.5
per cent in Canada for the first five
months of 1880.
"When unemployment reaches such
a high figure it means that men and
women are often out of work for sew
eral months before they can find en-
ployment. Even in normal times, a
recent study shows that over half of
those laid off were out of work for
three months or more before they
could find new employment. With
conditions as they were this winter,
it has not been unusual for men to be
out of work for five or six months.
No wonder savings have been ex-
huasted and hundreds of thousands
have been forced to apply for char
it. Many who have been able all their
lives to support their families and to
tide over other periods of unemploy-
ment were forced to charity this
winter"

INDUSTRIES GROUP
To Fight Dumping" of
Soviet Products
Joint Committee Declares For
Embargo on Russian Goods,
Holding Them Serious Menace
to American Industry.

New York City (ILNS)-Announce-
ment of the formation of commit

goods in the United States is made
here by j. Carson Adkerson, presi-

make united appeal in behalf of

Hoouer Declares For High
Wages and Job Stability

Vocational training in high school,
said Mr.. Stewart, "does not usually
enable a boy to learn a trade thor
oughly."
It's greatest value, he said, is to
give a boy an idea of the trade for
which he is best fitted. 1t also gives
a knowledge that is helpful in every
day life and enables him to cut down
living expenses 'by being able to per-
form minor adjustments on his auto
mobile, how to do carpentry work on
small scale or how to do a bit of
blacksmithing"

Prohibition is one of the conten-

amendment of the Volstead act, while
two resolutions call for outright re-

Boston, Mass. (ILNS)-President
Hoover came to the convention of the
American Federation of Labor, de-
claring himself in favor of high
wages, for stability in possession of
a job, in opposition to the dole and
in favor of consultation by labor in
keeping industry running in smooth
order.
The president said no other depres-
sions had been accompanied by so
few industrial disputes. He said con-
struction had gained and that employ
ers, by and large, had kept the No
vember White House conference
agreement not to cut wages and to
maintain employment as steadily as
possible.
When the speech was concluded
there were variety of opinions, some
leaders, in carefully considered re-
marks, holding that President Hoover
as to wages and stabilization, had vir-
tually stated the federation's position
as his own.
Few Heard Speech
Most of the federation vice presi-
dents, seated to the rear of the presi-
dent on the platform, did not hear
his speech. Most of the delegates did
not know what he had said. Only
those Immediately behind the press
table could hear. Amplifiers were
not operating and the president used
an almost conversational tone.

ACCIDENT COSTS UP

Washington.-The ultimate cost of
industrial accidents, in the opinion of
some authorities, is four and five
times the amount paid in compensa-
ton, medical cost and insurance, ac-
cording to the United States Bureau
of Mines.
"There is no question:" the bureau
states, "that efficient safety work
pays for itself many times over in
any industry, and that this return is
reflected not only in benefit to hu-
manity but also in dollars and cents
to both employer and employed"
