By JOSEPH A. WISE

Cincinnati, Ohio (ILNS)-There
could be no better time than the pres
ent for the federal government to
vigorously push food control con-
struction work, said Adolph Hummer,
president of the Cincinnati Labor
Council, as the onrushing, turgid wat
ers of the mighty Ohio river over
flowed its banks and flooded the low
lands of Ohio and Kentucky in the
vicinity of this city recently.
Cincinnati is no stranger to
floods," said Mr.. Hummer. 1--WE have
had many disastrous ones, and can't
understand why the government has
been SO negligent in building up de-
fense against these floods throughout
the Mississippi valley that will last
for all time. 1t can be done, and SO
why not do it? This nation has the
money and tremendous number of
unemployed men at this time. Many
of these men would be glad to en-
gage in this work, and the people
throughout the valley would be great
ly benefited as result
ut seems to me that all the gov
ernment has been doing in reference
to flood control work is to throw up
few shovelfuls of earth occasionally,
only to have it swept away later.
That is not an economical way to pre-
ceed with the work; it is wasteful.
Why Is Not Work Pushed?
81 can't understand" said Mr..
Hummer, "why, with president OF
the United States who is alleged to
be great engineer, that flood control
work has not been pushed more vigor-
ously in the last three years. Presi
dent Hoover, while member of the
cabinet under the Coolidge admins
tration, made trip of inspection
down the Mississippi river during the
last big flood. He therefore has an
intimate personal knowledge of the
needs of the situation, and it seems
to me that he could have or should
manifest considerably more helpful
interest in the matter than he has
shown.
''The federal government has dis
played great zeal toward helping the
international bankers and the big in
dustrialists, but mighty little interest
in the common people. We found
billions of dollars with which to fight
the World War, but now we can't cre-
ate work for six or seven million
unemployed men and women.
Work Is Great Need
"Charity is no substitute for honest
work." continued Mr.. Hummer. "We
have 10000 unemployed men right
here in Cincinnati. That is terrible
percentage. There are great stories
being sent out about how these men
are being cared for through charity,
but those stories are greatly exag-
gerated. These men don't want char
ity; they want work. wonder
whether the charity advocates realize
what is being done in the way of
breaking down the self-respect and
morale of these men by forcing them
to seek charity. 1t seems to me that

Driue For Jobs Being Pushed
In Eight Thousand Cities

/! Compulsory formation of unem-
ployment reserve organizations based
no payment by each employer of 2
per sent of his payroll are urged in
the report. The per cent is to be
reduced to l when the accumulated
reserve for each worker reaches $50.
No Common Pool
Each firms or company's payment
to the unemployment fund would
serve as it's own reserve and would
not be put in common pool. This
method, it is argued, would prevent
unstable or irregular industries from
drawing upon the pool at times when
there was no general unemployment
The maximum benefit to be paid to
a jobless worker would be $40 week,
or SO per cent of an employees wage,
for ten weeks in any year.
The commission advises the crea-
ton of an unemployment administra-
tion of three members to represent
labor, industry and the public, charg-
ed with establishing the proposed sys-
TEN of unemployment reserves.
In recommending that contributions
to the fund be made by the employer
and not the employe the commission
says that the worker should not "be
required to reduce his earnings" by
payment of contribution and be-
cause the employers financial liza
bility under the plan would operate
as continuous incentive to prevent
unemployment as far as practicable. ;"
For Better Job Exchanges
The commission urges that the
states take prompt steps to extend
their systems of public employment
service. 'No system of unemploy-
ment insurance can accomplish its
purposes without properly organ
lied and efficiently operated system OF
| employment exchanges" the report
says.
"We are conscious of the fact" the
report says, "that our proposals are
extremely modest and moderate 1t is
not, in our Judgment, sound to inn
pose an onerous burden of cost on
American industry. The measures
adopted now can, we recognize only
incidentally serve to mitigate the ef-
fects of severe and prolonged depres-
sion. 1t may well be that the unem-
ployment of long depressions can be
met only by the creation of extraordi-
nary reserve funds raised from con-
tributions by employers, labor and
the federal government. We are clear,
however, that the type of measures
we propose constitute a constructive
attack on the problem"
Plan Held Forward Step
In ending its report, the commits
sion says:
"The adoption by the six states of a
system of unemployment reserves,
similar to the plan here proposed
would constitute great step forward
in the joint consideration and hand,
ling Of interstate industrial prob
lens. The pressing need for an in
telligent unemployment program, re-
vealed once more by our experience
| during the past two years, should
hasten the favorable consideration OF
a moderate and practicable proposal
for constructive experiment"
Gov. Roosevelt praised the report
in making it public and announced
that he would move at once to ask
the New York legislature to act upor
it.

I would let him fight Dixon. The miner

brought together the top seeded COM

Probably the finest match seen at

during the quarter-fnals when Henri

Berkeley Bell and Gregory Mangin yes
terday after losing the first two sets.
Bernard seemed unnerved and un-
steady at the start and Cochet had
to take much OF the work on his own
shoulders. But the youthful French
southpaw recovered. as Bell and Man
gin seemed on the point of victory.
and BernardiS recovery will be the talk
of Longwood for days to come.
