to be rented from July l, 1889. to De-
cember 81, 1912, to house 5000 persons
tabulating the 1910 census
If any one has an empty building
on his hands that can meet these
requirements or if any person would
like to erect the required structure to
rent to the department, he should in
form Malcolm Kerlin, administrative
assistant to the Secretary. who today
announced that an extensive hunt had
not produced a single building to meet
the specifications.
And what's more, if Mr.. Kerlin
can't find the building he wants, it
may be necessary for the successful
bidder to build the structure. In
this case it is expected the Govern
ment will guarantee the person enough
rent to warrant the construction costs.

B|GGERS' FIGURES
HELD INCOMPLETE
Tell Only Half the Story of
Women Working, Says
Mrs. Roosevelt.

John D. Biggers' report on the dis
propOrtionate number of women in in
dustry tells only half the story, Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt declared at her
press conference today.
The Unemployment Census Commit
tee was out simply to gather statistics
and hasn't broken its findings down
and arrived at conclusions, the Presi-
dent'S wife pointed out in expressing
the fear that many persons will draw
conclusions from the general statement
which the statistics do not prove.
A great many persons feel that TAX
ing jobs from women would solve the
unemployment problem she said. but
1t would also mean men would have a
lot more women to support.
Expressing the hope that some Or
ganization would break the figures
down to determine why more women
are employed today. Mrs. Roosevelt
said she was more interested in know
ing why the condition exists than in
being told, in a blanket way, that it
does exist
The statistics were gathered, she
explained, principally for the census
and to give some idea of the type of
questions to ask in drawing up the
census. Outside of that, she said,
she didn't think the committee find
ings contained q great deal of worth
while information.
She suggested. in discussing the in
crease in employed women, that in
some cases 1t was due to the fact that
men lost their jobs and women were
forcad, to ind work because the re-
duction in mans income made it i'm
perative. Many times, she said, women
could hnd jobs where men couldn't.
b Discussing the recent attempts to
achieve harmony between the c. 1. o.
and the A. F. of L.. Mrs. Roosevelt
said, Il would be happy if labor could
get together. A divided house always
has more difficulty in looking after its
own interests"
