Americas largest industries.
Under the guaranteed employment
plan industrial leaders would assure
a stipulated number OF their work
men OF uninterrupted and profitable
employment for q specified long
period.
Want More Pay.
Reports OF high government off,
Gals indicate that many industries
ere inclined toward adoption OF the
five day week with five days pay.
Organized labor however is demand
ing the shorter week with six days
pay.
The movement for guaranteed
employment apparently originated
with public utility companies and
ORGANIZATIONS seeking TO hold their
Storkers in the depression. 1t has
adopted as part Of the American
Federation OF Labor's permanent
program.
The guaranteed employment idea
has spread to such an extent that
the United States Chamber Of Com
merce, under the leadership Of
julius Barnes. chairman Of the board
or directors, has become its sponsor
and Is pressing for adherence to il.
Intensive study OF the technical as
poets OF the problem IS now occupy
ing the attention Of experts in the
chamber.
Hoover Interested.
Pres. Hoover has been kept in
formed Of, and Is deeply interested
il the progress of the movement.
which he regards Of unusual i'm
p~ortance.
Industrial and labor leaders con-
slider the guaranteed employment
idea as n of the most signifi-
cant developments in the relation
ship between capital and labor in
recent years. The idea is not re-
garded by them, or by Pres. Hoover,
as being a mere emergency measure
for the relief Of existing unemploy-
ment but is thought to be a primary
step in elimination OF unexpected
periods OF widespread unemployment
in the future.
Government officials have ex-
pressed the opinion that its adop-
ton by the larger industries would
lead gradually to favorable action
by smaller businesses throughout
the country.
william Green, president OF the
American Federation of Labor, IN
endorsing the movement said IN
his report on July labor conditions.
that the removal Of the fear Ct
unemployment would put money into
, circulation, which is now being stor-
Acd in savings deposits and boarded
~ stockings and trunks.
Subject Studied.
Public utility members of the Ma
tional Electric Light Assn, at a re-
cent gathering appointed a COM
mittee 10 study the subject. Optimis-
Tic reports of that group are reach
ing Paul Clapp. secretary Of the Or
g~anization. Clapp is expected to re-
port to the chamber Of commerce
committee sometime before Sept. /.
In the experimental stage the time
set for assured employment may be
one year. In industries where long
term planning Is customary The
period could be extended even after
the experimental phase has passed.
Industrial heads have expressed
the hope TO Pres. Hoover that actual
operation of the plan can be started
before next winter.

had floated across the room. Gradu-
ally his fingers relaxed, and the look
of hate that had crossed his face
every time Mrs. Richards name was

5000 to 5000 ROTARIANS TO
MEET I'm VIENNA NEXT JUNE y
so Countries Will Be Repre-
sented at Meeting Of Inter-
national Club

Chicago, Feb. 24.-1n the heart of
Europe, the Rotary club Of Vienna is
preparing to welcome and entertain
5000 to 5000 Rotarians from go or
more countries next June.
Over several different routes, to
avoid congestion, the North American
group of 1000 or 5000 Rotarians will
converge upon Vienna June 81. Six
ships have been reserved for the
North American Rotarians, sailing on
June $40 from New York and Mon
treal.
There will be delegates from nearly
$500 Rotary clubs in more than 60
countries or geographical areas.
The convention will follow the
European practice, with fewer formal
plenary sessions and more informal
determination between Rotarians of
the many nationalities, trades and
professions.
1t Opens June ~
There will be four separate assem-
blies considering the problems of the
wool, cotton, leather and iron and
steel industries from producer to con-
sumner.
The major Rotary problems to be
considered by the convention are
those Of administering the interna-
tional organization. There are about
2 500 Rotary clubs in the United
States and 1000 in other countries.
Under the leadership of Almon E.
Roth of Stanford university, Califor-
mia. the president of Rotary Inter-
national, the conduct Of Rotary's bust
ness and educational affairs this year
has been even nor thoroughly in
ternationalized than hitherto. The

members of the committee in charge

finding expression in an entirely
Lew outlook towards farm life.
I'm Europe" he says, farming is
considered more as a way of life than
as a business. That is as it should
be. Consider what a small, self-con-
tanned farm can be like. The people
there grow and prepare their own
food. They cure their own meat,
make their own wine, and give every
member Of the family as good a life
as possible. In the evening the farm
er sits around his fire, happy and in
dependent, and he can look any
damn man in the face at any hour
Of the day or night and tell him to go
to blazes.
"Now the factory worker can't do
that-unless he IS willing to consign
his family to blazes at the same time.
after all, life isn't just a matter
CT making money. Our great goal,
after all, Is to have life and have it
more abundantly. Mankind is like
Antaeus in the fable. It must keep
its contact with Mother Earth to
keep it's strength. Your cities may
have better sanitation and health
conditions than the cities of Europe,
but sooner or later they will sap the
workers vitality-the workers, mind
you, for I am not speaking of the
weli-to-do or the middle class, who
can get away from the city whenever
they like. I am talking of the work
er, who is tied down and can't move"
Not "A Difficult Job
The job of turning the trend of
population back to the farms is not
difficult, Mr.. Russell believes. Econ
olnic pressure, in his opinion, will
eventually force the change.
I'm Europe, during the war;" he
says, "it was found that on a plot
Of ground 80 by 80 feet a man can
produce enough green vegetables to
last a family Of five for a year. I
learn that many people in America
today are moving to the outskirts of
cities and getting five and 10-acre
plots, where they grow food for their
own consumption.
THAT is what is needed. Let a
man go on a farm, not to make
money but to find a better way of
life. Let him grow his own food,
what he needs and sell the
It is amazing how well he
can get along"
Yet the economic side, he is care
full to point out, is not all of it. Farm
organizations, with strong chapters
in each village, can do much to make
rural life more attractive.
Organization Is Needed
The man on the farm needs such
4 society," he says. Not merely for
economic purposes-he needs it be-
cause it must bring him all the rich
culture Of your great state. He can
not live by bread alone. His society
must bring the best of thought, art,
music and so forth to create a zeal
rural civilization. |
Agricultural societies abroad have
pointed the way. In Ireland, for in

All kinds of farm crops constitute
q bit over IS per cent of the total

up the lions share of that class of
