Alcock believes the days of the crimi-

en- route to the penitentiary; others

The heat has been turned on and
the mobsmen have in large part, fled,
the commissioner said. He cited a visit
yesterday by officers to so underworld
hauntS of Capone henchmen.
The officers sought 48 gangsters, in
dicted with their chief for liquor con-
Spiracy.
They found but two. They were
hardware merchants who had been in
cluded in the 68 indicted because they
were alleged to have sold merchandise
to Capone breweries. The real mobs-

UNEMPLOYMENT
Increased Even in Boom
Year 1929
BY w. |. NEWMAN

Recently in these columns we pub
lished chart showing the ups and
downs of the total number of workers
employed in manufacturing industry
in this country. Reference to this
chart will show that the number of
workers employed in 1920, as shown
by the data furnished by the bureau
of labor statistics, was higher than
it was in 1919 by about 6 per cent
or 9,000058, an increase of 540,003.
This would bring the total number
of wage earners employed in 1920 TO
approximately 9,540,061. Thus 1920
was the "boom year" prior to 1929, so
that it will be fair to compare the two
years in this respect. The census of
manufactures shows the total of wage
earners employed in 1929 to have been
8,807 ,536; or to have been less than
the total number in 1920 by the sum
of 732,525.
Unemployment in Boom Year
This means that in the boom year
of 1929, when everything was running
-supposedly-at top speed, there
were about three-quarters of million
men and women, who had previously
been employed, who were out of en-
ployment. There were some fuctua-
tions in 1929, but at no time did the
index number show more than 90 per
cent of the number employed in 1923,

TAXI DRIVERS
And Chauffeurs of Middle
town Form Union

An organization recently formed,
and which should add much to the
safety and convenience of the public,
is the Union Operators Local No
512, of Middletown, Ohio, taxicab
chauffeurs and drivers.
At the present time the organiza-
tion is made up of drivers from the n
Taxi Company and Maple Park Dairy,
and is affiliated with the Middletown
Trades and Labor Council
One of the objects of the organiza-
ton is to advance the best interests
of the employers, as well as the mem
bers, establishing reasonable rate
in conveying passengers safely to
their destination, and making deliver
les more promptly.
Realizing the danger through in
competent drivers, it is the purpose
of the organization to equip its MEM
bers with the knowledge of safe and
careful driving through instructions
given them by special committee.

LABOR DAY, 1881

trade unionists everywhere within the
jurisdiction of the American Fedora

while the index number in 1920 was
about 11S. This refers now to em-
ployes in manufacturing industries
alone.
When we turn to other fields of en-
ployment, it is necessary to take fig
ures gathered in periods just before
or just after 1929. But the sources
are government data, and are of sucn
a character as to be properly applied
here. The number of persons en-
ployed in the railroad industry in 1919
is given as 1,960,439, while the same
figure in 1929 was 1, 775,549. The use
of the 1919 figure is not unfair here,
as it is probably less than it would
have been for 1920. And these figures
show that in 1929 there were 184,890
fewer employees in the railroad indus
try than in 1919.
Unemployment in Every Direction
Our sources of information (Statis-
tical Abstract, 1920) show that in
1920 the number of employees in the
mineral industries was 908,419. The
same sources show that in 1928 the
number of such workers was 733, ,728.
If we apply the same conditions as
obtaining in the mineral industries
that obtained in manufactures, we
shall be fair in our method of esti-
mating the number employed in min
eral industries in 1929.
Myth of General Prosperity
We find that the average of 1925
employment was about 5 points
higher than that Of 1923 in the index
numbers based on 1923 as 100. If we

tions in your nature that lead others
to misjudge you. With him you
breathe free. You can take off your
coat and loosen your collar. You can
abuse him, tolerate him. Best of all,
you can keep still with him. 1t does
not matter. He likes you. He is like
fire that purifies all you do. He is
like water, that cleanses all you say.
He is like wine, that warns you to
the bone. He understands, he under
stands. You can weep with him, laugh
with him, sin with him, pray with
him. Through and underneath it all
he sees, knows and loves you.
A friend we repeat, is one with

Labor Day Edition

OUR LABOR DAY EDITION

The Press, this week, feels all
dressed up in its annual Labor Day
edition, made up in many extra pages.
and with feeling of pride. Not be-
cause of its size so much but because
of the fact that we have the confidence
of the local advertisers to the extent
of making the extra edition possible.
it is for this reason that we feel.
what we think might be looked upon
as pardonable pride, over this weeks
edition.
Very few of the advertisers, when
approached, refused to subscribe for
space in the annual Labor Day edi-
tion of the Press. On the other hand,
they seemed more than glad for the
opportunity to express their friendly
feeling for the local organized labor
movement through the columns of it's
official organ, the Butler County
Press. And to have the esteem and
good will of the business and profes-
sional men, manufacturers and the
employers in general, and the unions
the Press represents, as shown by
their generous demand for advertis-
ing space in this edition, is something
the Press is indeed proud of.
To all those who, by their generous
subscriptions, made this large edition
possible, the Press extends its sin
cere thanks.
This issue is replete with labor
doings throughout the world, and the
Press urges all union members, and
others, to read it carefully.
The Press further urges all mem
bers of organized labor to show their
appreciation to the advertisers in this
issue by extending to them their
patronage.

in the case of independence Day, that
most truly represents the democratic
nature of our land.
Labor Day affords the opportunity
of reviewing the facts of the labor
movement, the facts not of today only
but of all time, marshaled in the
order of their proportion and chron-
ology.
Someone has said: "That to amount
to anything in the world or to be
happy, one must perform some useful
work, do something for someone else,
and see something beautiful" This
sentiment is epitomized in Labor Day,
and it is what gives the day its
nationwide appeal.
To organized labor the day has the
greatest significance. 1t is the out
ward and visible sign of many potent
reforms accomplished. 1t makes pub
lie acknowledgement Of the fact the
wage-workers have political rights
and privileges, and that to earn ones
bread by the "sweat Of the brow" is
not only thoroughly respectable, but
even honorable. These things did not
merely "happen" in the course of hu
man events = they were actively
fought for and won by organized
union labor!

ROCKVILLE, Md, February 6.-The
people of Montgomery County are re-
spending generously to the appeal of
the county Red Cross chapter for con-
tributions to the $l0,000,0 900 drought
relief fund of the American Red Cross,
and, according to F. Barnard Welsh,
chairman of the General County Cam
paign Committee. complete returns are
almost certain to show that the county's
quota of $500 has been raised.
Solicitors in various sections of the
county have reported to Chairman
Welsh that the people seem eager to
give and in not few instances have
their checks ready when the collectors
call.
Some Districts Exceed Quota.
Reports from a number of the dis
tricts of the county are that they al
ready have in hand more than the
amounts asked of them, but that the
canvassing is being kept up so that
none desiring to add to the fund may
be overlooked.
In the Rockville area, where members
of the bar, county officials and others
are taking an active interest, approx
mately $500 had been collected up to
this morning, and as much of the dis
trict had not been touched" Chair
