J. recently set out to discover just how un-
employment affects the morale and the ideals
of men who are out of work.
II learned. oddly enough that engineers
as class are not filed with radical notions
when they lose their jobs They get resent
full and discouraged. naturally-but they don't
swing of toward Communism or similar
panaceas. as some jobless men do.
Most of them are content to have the old
system continue. All they want is to get
their jobs back.
And all of this simply shows how little
meaning that word ~radcalism really has
nowadays. Engineers are generally ultra
conservative in their political and economic
beliefs This survey has shown that they
mostly stay that way. even under the pres
sure of unemployment
And vet engineers as a class probably have
done more TO change our form of society. our
scheme of government and our economic or
ganization' than any other class alive.
To be sure. they have done it without in
the least intending TO- But they have done
it. Just the same. and they will continue to
do so for long time to come.

and steamboats made it possible for the

sons dream of a land of small farmers and
small cities: engineering that gave the south

our big cities. exploited our mines, and gave
us our factory civilization.

many who are supporting wive-
who are not worth two whoops and
who do it graciously. kindly, even
magnilcently.
But isn't it about time they also
realized that some OF their cherished
virtues are only different names for
selfishness? When it comes TO a
real high sense of duty, men and
women are about evenly matched.

there are 100000 furloughed railroad
employees, of whom / am one. When
the newspapers first announced the
blanket code, saying that all indus
tries would be required to shorten
working hours to thirty-five or forty
hours week, found a ray of hope
in the thought that l soon would
be called back to work.
But that hope began TO wane
when I noticed that the papers
never specifically named the rail-
roads in their NRA and PRA dis
cusSions. Then, about a week ago,
I found an obscure paragraph in
The Times where General Johnson
stated that the railroads were
under the Interstate Commerce
commission and therefore out of his
jurisdiction.
That rather seems to me to be
another case of passing the buck
No doubt the railroads are not max
ing as much money as formerly
but they are just as able to shorten
hours and still maintain decent
wages as some of our other large
industries.
The coal industry, for instance, is
in bad shape, but it is being forced
to subscribe to an NRA code.

"There are many veterans Of

the Federal Government owes
the application of the same
rule which it has laid down for

"In other words, if the indi-
vidual affected can afford to
pay for his own treatment he
cannot call on any form of
Government aid. If he has not
the wherewithal to take care of
himself, it is first of all the duty
of his community to take care
of him and next the duty of

Havana Battle Report
Surprises U. S. Officials
By International News Service


A report on the battle which
broke out in Havana early today
between government troops and
the ousted army officers in the
National Hotel was telephoned
to Secretary of State Hull by
Ambassador Sumner Welels.
The fighting came as a sur
prise to officials here, who were
under the belief President Grau
San Martin did not intend to at
tack the officers in the hotel.
Welles also reported the kill
ing of an American citizen, Rob
ert G. Lotspeich, who was struck
by a stray bullet while watching
the fighting. Lotspeich was born
in London. Ohio, and was as
Sistant manager of the Havana
branch of Swift and Company.
This is the first time an Amer
ican national has been killed in
the present trouble in Cuba. Al
though officials here we're dis
turbed over the incident, it was
said it would not lead to the
landing of American bluejackets
or Marines. The State Depart
ment was inclined to be unsym-
pathetic to Americans who need
lessly place themselves in danger
zones.
AS for American bluejackets go
ing anywhere near the National
Hotel while the battle is in prog
ress. it was said such action
would lead to just the kind of a
situation this Government is try

He was first thought to have

SURVEY Of JOBS
SHOW $4,000
EMPLOYED
Now Within 81 Per Cent OF
1929 Peak; NRA Checks on
176 Business Firms

Employment among business
firms in Washington has in
creased to $4,000 persons, within
81 per cent of the high-water
mark of 1929.
This remarkable report came
today from local NRA officials,
following tabulation of the latest
returns from Washington en-
ployers in the survey of re-em-
ployment being made by the Dis
trict Blue Eagle forces.
May Hit 10000
If the 15-per-cent slash in the
salaries of Government workers
were to be abolished, officials
said, the number of workers here
in manufacturing. wholesale. re.
tail and other trades would climb
upward to the approximately nor,
NAL figure of 10000 persons.
The resembling of the IS per
cent cut, it was explained, would
quicken local commerce to such
an extent that the additional
1000 workers, needed to bring
the level of employment to the
1929 figure, would undoubtedly be
hired within a short time.
10000 Gain Made ..
The estimates are based on &C
tual reports from 176 representa-
tive washington business firms, ii
was said by Raymond j. Walter
