Problem of Unemployment
in

time the present efforts may result in
bringing to light and making available
we'll considered and effective methods of
unemployment industrial insurance
One of the most promising signs that
has come to attention recently has been
that of a number of companies which
have associated themselves in the plan
OF having the companies lay aside funds
every year and undertake to pay en-
ployes who are laid of so per cent OF
their wages for a certain number of
weeks, the time being deRen1ent upon
length of service. The companies an
nounce the intention, il the unemploy-
ment situation should go on and be toe
much of a strain on the fund, of in
creasing their own contributions and OF
calling for contributions of a similar
amount from those who still hold their
jobs. Except IN such situations, how
ever, the companies supply all the
funds"
Col. Woods could hardly have ex-
pressed more frankly the view that
under present law, Of incapacity through
Academy are a primary charge not
upon the unfortunate employee, but
upon industry itself. think Col
Woods is too optimistic in apparently
assuming that industry will broadly
undertake this charge without severs
pressure from the public authorities.
expect that such pressure will be neces-
sary and will be forthcoming. I think
that Col. Woods, through his personal
acquaintance with many of the best and
most enlightened men in industry, has
an excessive confidence in industry as a
whole. note with applause, however,
that on further and final point he

unemployment can be even approx
mately solved without public action
He says:
Consideration Given Laws
Much consideration is being given
to the laws under which American
business operates. These laws are In
the main old. They may have met the
needs for industrial rules and regula-
tons years ago, but they may neverthe-
less be insists now and may be working
against the interest not only of in
dustry but of the public. One of the
great causes of overproduction Is the
instructive effort of manufacturers in
times when business is good to get their
full share Of the business, and q lot
more, while people are still buying
They enlarge their plants, they in
crease their production to get ahead Of
their competitors. Their competitors
are doing the same thing, and when
the evil day Of slowing up comes al
are caught with large supplies Of goods
which they cannot sell at a profit
People are wondering whether such
ruinous competition Is not one Of the
causes of recurrent industrial depression
and whether the time has not come fol
thorough going examination of the
laws by which corporations are regu-
lated in order that the necessity fol
ruthless, ruinous competition may bt
mitigated."
Naturally, however, If corporation,
are to be permitted to agree on the
ordering of competition and the order
ing of the market, 1t will follow that
their policies viii have to be govern
mentally scrutinized for the protection
of the customer, even as now in the
case Of the railroads.

Zone great tendency in industry in
trying to work out preventives for I'M
employment has been the study that is
being made In so many plants Of unem-
ploymeHt insurance. The question is
being raised as to whether industry
should not protect itself against the
evils and difficulties of unemployment
just as much as 1t protects itself against
fire and theft. Besides trying to ar
range its plants so as to reduce the dam
gers of fire and thieving, it insures itself
against them. Besides trying to stabi-
lie and regularize and rationalize its
business so as to make shallower the
trough of industrial depression, why
should it not insure itself against the
catastrophe which follows in case these
measures are not sufficient?
Not very great actual progress has
been made along this line, though the
matter is in such condition that at any

Japanese Religions Plan
Three-Day Meet May Is

TOXIC, Japan.-Another meeting OF
representatives Of the three great re-
ligions Of Japan-Buddhism Shintoisfn
and Christianity-will be held In this
city for three days, beginning May H.
Confucianism, although regarded by
many as being not exactly o religion,
also will be represented.
The meeting has been called to dis
cuSs Japans part In the World Com
ference for International Peace Through
Religion, which will be held at WASH
ington in November. 1882, and is being
sponsored by the japanese chapter Of
the body. .a,s q
Delegates to this meeting will be
limited to 800, it was decided at a recent
meeting of the committee in charge Of
preparations. The apportionment was
finally fixed at 40 Buddhists, 90 repre-
sentatives Of Shintoism, so Christians
and 80 Confucian scholars.
At the last national religious confer
ence there were 1000 delegates, and
when q reactionary minority got control
scenes that were almost riotous ensued.
The minority seized the platform, re-
fused to let liberal speakers continue and
interfered with the proceedings.
Better control of the meeting viii be
possible II the delegates are limited to
800 this year. the committee believes.
This year, as usual, the Christians
have taken the lead in promoting the
national meeting and Japan's participa-
ton in the international congress, but
the Buddhists have taken an unprece-
dentedly large part. s,,
The Rev. Kaikyoku Watanbe, well
known Buddhist priest and scholar, OBJ
serves that leaders in his religion are
becoming more and more interested IN
the wide field of internationalism. The
international convention of young mems
Buddhist associations, held last Summer
in Hawaii, is outstanding evidence Of
this tendency, he said. .a....
