How Many Are UNEMPLOYED?

One of the most bitterly controverted ouestions IN
the present depression is the actual number unem-
poyed This is of crucial Importance both as to i'm.
mediate relief measures and to the deeper plans for
our economic rehabilitation Extreme inaccuracies in
either direction likely to throw any plan for relief
or recovery into confusion and disaster
one OF the most original and interesting attempts
10 estimate the number contained in an article in
the New Republic by William P Mangold He has
MADE use OF the new figures on employment in the
United States census
The complete summary of employment in the
1880 census recently made public especially valuable
For the first time in recent years it provides full data
on the number of workers gainfuly employed in each
OF the important occupatona manufacturing,
trade transportation, mining, construction and so on
by having this actual bench mark for the workers
IN each important group of April $780, it is pos
Sole to compute the number who have lost their Jobs
IN the last fifteen months provided know the
percentage decline in employment in each group"
For the latter figures, Mangold relies upon the
index of employment published by the bureau of labor
statistics On this basis the eight groups of workers
classified in the bureau of labor statistics totaing
about exactly half of all workers employed show
decrease of some 4,622,00 since April, 1880.
The bureau publishes no index of recent changes
in employment for the remaining 100000 employed
III April 1S0U MANY OF LneSe represent types OIL
workers whose industrial situation precarious
than that of the eight classified groups Therefore
minimum estimate of the number here who have lost
their jobs since April, 1880, would be 100000
This would give total of 612200O who have lost
their positions in all industries. The listed
$4,000 as the number unemployed in April 1890.
Hence, have grand total, according to minimum
estimate, of $4,000 out of work today. The maxi
estimate the basis of these figures would be
10,56000O.
Mangold admits the possibility that some who have
lost their jobs according to the bureau statistics may
have since obtained positions in bootlegging racke-
teering and other industries which not classified
in the indices of the bureau.
Yet, it seems likely that any such item is much
more than compensated for by Mangolds very re-
strained estimate of 100000 as the number who have
lost their jobs in the industrial groups-totaling
$4,000 00O--not classified in the bureau employment
statistics.
Mangod'S figures may be offered for what they are
WORTH and as challenge to optimistic statistcians
who may dispute his contentious If they hold water,
it means that we have around 100000 able-boded
workers out of employment today.
Those responsible for dealing with the economic
and employment situation either ruthleSsly should
tear up his estimates realistically lay plans to
with challenge to leadership on the scale which
these figures indicate.

HRDuCKA CONVINCED ALASKA PEOPLE WERE
 0F As|AT|C ORIGIN

Dr. A. Hrdlicka, head or the oe- nartment of anthropology o1 the Smithsonian Institute, arrived Ill Cordova from the Westward en- route South.
 Doctor Hrdlicka reported Ill the Cordoya Times that he had op- tained 60 boxes of collections after three and one-half months Work in digging in the strata SIX rect beneath the surface of the ground on the region extending from the Bristol Bay and Nushagak to H. iamna Lake and Kodiak Island.
 "The operations this season were exceedingly satisfactory" Doctor Hrdlicka declared Almost every fact that we find further confirms the theory that the original ln- habitants of Alaska were of AS iatic origin. Of course it will not be possible to say anything defi- nite until after we have made a thorough study of the specimens, but I am we'll pleased with our findings this year"
 Concerning the type of people who were ancestors to the present Alaskan Indians and allied races, Doctor Hrdlicka declared that when the white men came to the Territory the Indians were devel- oping civilization of their own, which, in some respects, was far superior to the civilizati of the white invaders"
 The doctor is convinced that had Indians of the North American continent been left unmolested for a few more centuries, that they would have produced a civiliza- ticn which would have been far in advance of the present white dominance.

NEED CHEAP RADIO
Baldwin, N. D.
Oct. 5. 1881.

Editor. Tribune:
Now that it has become no longer
necessary for radio owners to tune
in long distance D. x. stations for
their regular enjoyment, it would
seem that a new type of radio is nec-
essary, one that will bring in local
stations loud and clear, but which
costs a lot less than the present
high powered sets.
There is no denying that for farm
crs at least, the upkeep of radio
runs into considerable money. Bat
terry service is expensive, and an A
battery runs down almost if not en-
tircly as quickly when used locally
as when used for the distant sta
tions.
Some years ago crystal head set
was being sold which was guaran-
teed to bring in the nearer stations.
The price of the entire outfit was
but a few dollars and no batteries
or tubes were necessary. Now that
science has given us so many useful
things, it would seem but right they
concentrate on the making of a cheap
but serviceable radio planned on the
same lines as the old crystal set, but
using a loud speaker in place of the
headphones, which were no end OF
trouble. Such set, if sold at low
price, once on the market, would
place this useful invention in the
hands of thousands of people who
otherwise cannot afford 1t.
More than one farmer has decided
to dispense with radio entertainment
this winter because the upkeep oil
same Is prohibitive, and a cheap
usable set would prove a Godseno
until better times arrive, even fol
these who already own more expen-
sive radios.

EXERCISE
PROGRAM PLANNED
FOR BISMARCK MEN
Will Use Community Building
As Scene of Athletic Ac-
tivity This Winter

Arrangements to give every Bis
narck resident an opportunity to in
du!ge in healthful physical exercise
this winter are expected to be COM
pleted Thursday at meeting of a
city committee appointed by Recrea-
ton Director John w. Reel
The initial meeting of the commit
tee was held last week and at that
time Major Harold Sorenson, Secre-
tary of State Robert Byrne and E.
B. Klein we're named as subcommit-
tee to draw up plan of OrganiZa ton
to be submitted to the general COM
mittee for its approval.
The idea is to use the splendid phy-
sical recreation facilities of the new
World War Memorial building to the
advantage of Bismarck residents who
feel the need of such activity in the
winter months.
All kinds of games will be offered
and gymnasium classes will be di-
rected by Reel if the demand for such
work is sufficient.
May Organize Leagues
The idea, however, is to keep the
exercises on a game basis and as in
formal as possible and the prospect
is that number of leagues may be
organized later in the year to pro-
vide sport as well as exercise.
Most vigorous men get considerable
enjoyment as we'll as great deal OF
benefit from playing with their fel-
lows games which call Tor physlcal
activity Byrne and a group OF other
men have been using the high school
gymnasium for several years, the
game played there being volleyball,
it developed at the recent meeting.
Because the facilities OF the World
War Memorial building are furnished
by the public, the cost of entering IN
to the games to be offered Will be
small. Reel said. The membership Zee
has been tentatively fixed at $3.50 a
wear of $3.50 a month and the cost
of the necessary personal equlpmenI
is estimated at between $2.oo ana S4'
The showers on the gymnasium
floor of the building will be available
to persons having memberships put
a charge will be made for towels.
An Individual permit system salso
will be established for the benefit OF
the casual visitor or the man VINO
NAV care TO come to the gymnasium
only once in whole.
Plan Many Pastimes
Among the pastimes to be offered
are volley ball. indoor tennis taple
tennis, handball and, later IN the
year. indoor baseball.
The opening classes will be held on
the gymnasium floor of the building
but if the need arises the main audi
torium also may be used, Reel said.
Members of the general ADVISORY
committee, in addition to the sub
committee members are r. j. Kan
plin. Russell Young, George F. Dull
lam, K. w. Simons, Charles Good
win, Lieut.. Smith. Rev. Floyd Logee
Willis Belk, E. w. Leonard, Thoma:
Burke, P. j. Meyer, James w. Guth-

After the program for the men has
been arranged, additional programs
will be arranged for women and fol

STATE MEETING OF
TAXPAYERS CALLED
Rolette County Group Takes
Initiative in Fight For
Reductions

Rolla, N. D., Oct. 6.-(P)-The
Rolettc County Taxpayers Protective
association has called a meeting III
Devils Lake November for the pur-
pose of forming statewide assocja-
ton of taxpayers.
The call was issued by M. B. Chase
of st. John, president of the Rolette
association, after a meeting Satur-
day. The notice said that Rolette
county was the first in North Da-
kota to form county association OF
taxpayers and it was taking the lead
in the organization of state asso-
citation.
Each organized county in the state
has been asked to send five delegates
to the meeting and pleas have been
sent to counties where no organiza-
ton exists to form associations be-
fore the time of the meeting.
Rolette county delegates are Chase
w. M. BARLEY and Edward Johnson
of st. John; Linus H. johnson of
Manson and J. p. Jollie of Belcourt.
Alternates are Boliver Brunei of
Belcourt. Arthur Johnson of Rolette
and H. G. Bourassa of st. John.
The notice says "the need for a
state organization is conceded by all
fair-minded people. Only those hop
ing to profit from lack of any organ
lied effort on the part of the tan
paying public to eliminate waste can
have any objection. Such are sadly
in the minority"
A meeting place and program mum
bers have been arranged and the no.
tice says that taxpayers have every
reason to expect results when coun-
ty units are organized into a state
wide unit.

Princess 'ngrid, Lady May
Cambridge, and Lady Anne
Wellesley Mentioned

London, Oct. 6.-The presence of
three very pretty girls-Princess In
grid of Sweden, Lady May Cam
bridge and Lady Anne Wellesley-at
various parties and social functions
at which another guest has been the
Prince of Wales, has once more set
the society gossips of London buzzing
about possible future queen Of Eng
land.
But somehow, this leaves the av-
erage Briton stone cold. If you asked
him, he would bet three to one that
there is nothing in 1t. He Is blase
on the subject. He has seen the
Prince of Wales engaged by gossip
to scme dozen pretty girls. And in
each and every case the young wo-
man has married somebody else. So
the conviction is gradually growing
in the British mind that the dearest
wish of Queen Mary's heart is not to
be granted, viz, that the prince shall
marry and settle down and found a
family of his own.
The British public believes that the
prince has definitely decided to re-
main a bachelor.
After all, despite his youthful looks,
energy and charm, he Is no longer
a youngster. Recently he celebrated
without any ostentation his 37th
birthday. He has. therefore, already
