TEAM BEARS DOWN


For one thing, the Cubs have
the aforementioned Gabby Hart
nett who became manager as
successor to Charlie Grimm only
a few weeks ago when they were
floundering around in fourth
place and rapidly getting no bet
ter. That's when they began to
bear down, however, and begin
the march toward the champion
ship, which they won Saturday.
Then, too, they have Tony
Lazzeri, who spent his entire
major league career with the
New York Yankees until finally
he began to slip and was allowed
to go out Of the American
League and join the Cubs this
season.
Lazzeri is still a great clutch
player reckoned by any stand
ard, but more important, he will
be able to do a considerable
amount Of what may prove to
be important master -minding
against the Yankees.
KNOWS YANKEES
He was with them so long and
is so baseball wise naturally
and by habit that he will know
about as well as they themselves
what they are going to do next
or what the pitcher is going to
pitch. He also may belt out
some valuable pinch hits.
Then, too, Dizzy Dean may
get a crack at the Yankees,
sore arm or no. It just happens
that with his control and pitch
ing smartness the soft stuff he
throws now may be what it will
take to help stop the champions
and give the Cubs their first
world title since 1908.
Thus there is the makingS OF
some super colossal stuff in
whatever Hartnett, Lazzeri or
Dean may do, aside from the
fact that the Cubs are carry
ing considerable momentum out
of the National League race
into the series and may sur
prise everybody.
PATENT REASONS
On paper they don't figure,
but if they should manage to
turn back the Yanks and thus
keep intact the records which
show that no club ever has won
three consecutive world titles,
it will be because of their game
ness, their hustle and their
pitching.
Their hurting aces are Gen.
Bill Lee and Clay Bryant, with
% and 10 victories, respec-
lively, the former being espe-
cially adept at pitching shut
outs. They also have Larry
French, Tex Carleton, Charlie
Root, Jack Russell and Dean,
among others.
The Cubs can't begin to
match the Yanks in power, but
they have a real good hitting
team, one that fields well, if
not brilliantly, and some all
around speed.
Hartnett is a fine hitter and
one Of the greatest of catcherS,
with a capable understudy in
Ken ODea; Ripper Collins will
handle first base, Billy Herman
second, Stan Hack third, Bill
Jurges Shortstop, and the out
fielding will be divided among
Augie Galan in left, Carl Reyn-
oldS in center, and Frank Dema-
rec and Phil Cavaretta in right.

AS for receipts, the Cubs figure

Test Census Explained.
The enumerative test consus here
tofore mentioned was taken in 1854
areas, selected at random, and dis
tributed throughout the United States
approximately in proportion to pop
ulation. This house-to house canvass
covered more than IL per cent Of
the population Of the United States
and was made by the trained personnel
of the Post Office Department during
the week of November 20. The ques-
tions, however, applied to the employ
ment status of those individuals at
the time of the voluntary registration.
The voluntary registrations from the
same identical areas have been COM
pared with the results of this test
census. According to a preliminary
analysis for l,455 areas, the voluntary
registration was 70 per cent of the
number reported in the test census as
totally unemployed, including emer-
gency workers. The largest varia-
ton was among females. The percent
age for males was 70 per cent. These
percentages of apparent completeness
ape regarded by the experts as ex-
ceptionally high for any type of VOL
untary registration, and are attribut-
able to the efficiency with which the
Post Office Department did its part
of the job and to the exceptional sup
port received from the press, the radio,
the motion picture industry and the
Mayors Committees and other CO.

cities and towns
In determining the true measure of

the statement said some 85,00O 900
QUESTIONABLE cards were printed, with
at least one card delivered to each of
100000 homes, one placed in every
post office box and one given to every
person who called at the post Office for
general delivery mail.
Mr.. Biggers' letter promised for to-
morrow a breakdown of the figures
by States and later figures for coun-
ties and cities of more than 10000
inhabitants.
He said the statistics covered the
early stages of the present business
recession and suggested that if the
President wished information on the
situation as of any future date, 1T
would be possible, with the co-opera-
ton of the Post Office Department, to
make at any future date a cross-sec-
tional enumeration of our test areas
(the sections in which the house-to-
house canvass was conducted) which
would be of value to you and the
Congress"

should perhaps be emphasized, that
the number of people who reported
themselves as unemployed should not
be confused with the number Of people
who need financial assistance or relief.
Many people consider themselves un-
employed who are not financially COM
PEELED to work. Irrespective Of their
need, when they seek employment,
they enter the labor market and COM
pete with others who have jobs or
vitality need jobs. They are, there
fore, factor in the unemployment
problem, though they may never
seek relief.
Our figures reflect the decline in
unemployment during the earlier
stages Of the current business recess
sion, but not the subsequent trend.
II you desire additional information
beyond that obtainable from the usual
statistical sources. it would be possible.
with the cooperation of the Post ONCE
Department, to make at any future
date . cross-sectional enumeration Of
our test areas which should be Of
value to you and the Congress. This
in addition to all the other work con-
templated by us could be carried
through well within the $50OO,0O0
budgeted for the purposes of this
census.
To Show State Results.
We will submit to you tomorrow an
other report showing the distribution
by States Of total unemployment as
revealed by the voluntary census, fol-
lowing which there will be made
available breakdown OF this inforn1a-
tion by counties and by cities of 10000
and more population, all according to
sex. Subsequently, We will give you
a report on the extent of partial un-
employment, national, State, county
and city, likewise according to sex.
AS the tabulation progresses we will
report additional facts such as the
age groups of the unemployed, their
occupational classification, the kinds
OF business or industry In which they
have worked and other related fac
tors.

expedite this work and permit the

In concluding this initial and par

citation Of the personal consideration
which you have given to this under
taking and of the inestimable value
Of your counsel and support? I belieSe
this undertaking will prove worth
while not only because it provides
new facts and figures about unem-
ployment but because the wide pop
ular consideration of this subject has
focused the attention OF the Nation
upon the immediate necessity of for
mulating a long-range program Of re-
employment.

unemployment 1t is important to con-
slider certain factors brought to light
by the variation between the results
Of the voluntary census and the emu
merating census.
Two Glasses Of Workers.
The unemployed may be divided into
two classes. One class represents those
regular workers for wages who always
work when work is available, regard
less Of their immediate economic sta
tuS. Work to them is not only a
means Of livelihood but a habit Of
life. These unemployed are clearly
a part Of the regular labor market.
There Is also second group, con-
sisting Of those who are not regular
workers for wages, such as house,
wives, who seek wage jobs only when
the family breadWinner is idle; daugh-
ters or sons who take jobs through
choice rather than necessity: unpaid
family workers on farms and in family
stores, who seek wage jobs only when
family income needs augmenting; re-
tired people who, because savings have
been depleted, decide to enter the labor
market again. To this class unem-
ployment is a status depending on
their current inclinations and tempo
rary economic conditions.
This second group. made up OF the
occasional workers for wages, might
not take the trouble to respond to a
voluntary registration but might read
lily be reminded to relate to a census
enumerator their current inclination
to work. For example, the proportion
OF women who reported themselves as
unemployed was greater in the EMU
merative census than in the registra-
ton, though both exceed the percent
age OF women reporting as unemployed
in the 1880 census. 1t is expected that
our detailed analysis will throw fur
ther light on this and similar Ques-
tions
Considering all of these factors, we
do not claim provable accuracy for
any one figure. The true number Of
those who considered themselves to-
tally unemployed, able to work and
wanting work. in our opinion, lies be-
tween 1922 ,912, the number who re-
sponded to the registration, and TO-
$4,000, the number indicated by the
enumerative census.
Various Conclusions.
In formulating any program for re-
employment of workers in industry,
based upon the results of this census,
q number Of considerations must be
borne in mind. For example, it is
not to be assumed that because a
certain number Of people are jobless,
the same number of jobs must be
created to bring a return to normal
conditions. When the usual family
breadwinner is idle, two or perhaps
more members Of his family may enter
the labor market. Conversely. when
the breadwinner is satisfactorily re-
employed other members of the family
may withdraw from the labor market.
Then, too, you recognize, but it

Text of Unemployment Census Letter
Bgges Raises Question What Normally Means in Labor
Market.

The text of John D. Biggers' letter
to President Roosevelt telling Of the
result of the unemployment census
| follows:
AS administrator of the census Of
partial employment, unemployment
and occupations, respectfully submit
this preliminary report on unemploy-
ment as revealed by the voluntary un-
employment registration. November
Is to 20, 1887, and our subsequent
enumerative test census.
Unemployment is difficult to meas
ure. We approached this task with
an appreciation of the difficulties, but
with conviction that knowledge of
basic facts was prerequisite to q
sound solution of the unemployment
problem.
A voluntary registration of the un-
employed was undertaken because 1t
offered the possibility of getting the
essential information more promptly
and at less cost than a Nationwide
enumerative census.
However, as you know, We recog-
niZed from the outset that sole reli-
ance could not be placed upon this or
any other voluntary registration.
Therefore, we conducted an enumera-
tive test census of 1,950,000 people rep
resenting cross-section of the United
States in order to appraise the COM
pleteness and accuracy of our volun-
tary registration. This combination of
voluntary and enumerative methods
seemed to be the best procedure avail
able within the limits of time and
cost.
Small Percentage Rejected.
The painstaking care with which
the unemployment report cards were
filled out surpassed all expectations.
the process of tabulation resulted in
rejection of less than per cent of
all the cards sent in, although rejec-
tons of 10 to 20 per cent had been
anticipated. The principal reasons for
rejection were inability to work. dupli-
cate registrations, unknown at address
given and under or over the age limit,
IS to "A. Your faith in the Wiling
ness of the people to cooperate in
any undertaking for their own good
and that of the Nation was fully
justified.
The voluntary registration of those
working for w. P. A., NJ Y. A., C. C..
c. and on other emergency work who.
for the purposes of this census, were
asked to register as unemployed was
Male 1862, ,444
remale 339, ,433
Total emergency workers 2,O01 ,877
All others classified as totally un-
employed. able to work and wanting
work numbered:
Female 1867. .266
Totally unemployed workers 5,821,035
Thus the voluntary registration of
totally unemployed, including emer-
