The voice of labor. (Cumberland, Md.) 1938-1942, 1940-01-19
Labor's Stake in the Census

Labor should be more than or
dinarily interested in the Sixteenth
Decennial Census OF Population
which will start on April /. 1910.
and in the several other censuses
which will be taken by the Blu
reau Of Census during the same
year. Nineteen hundred and forty
Is the l50th anniversary of the
first census Of population in the
United States: and since 1890 the
number Of our people has grown
from a little under 1000 1000 to
oevr i30.000.000. With this enor-
nous growth OF population has
come a great increase in Ameri-
cas- problems. and especially in
labor'S problems. II is one OF
the functions Of the Census reports
TO help to define and clarity those
problems for those who are trying
10 solve them-among whom trade
union leaders are Of paramount
Importance.
Social Change
There is hardly an activity Of
labor, unorganized as well as or
ganized. upon which the Census
does not touch. and which may
not be seen more clearly as
q result Of the tabulations of
the Buerau. This Is especially
true for 1910. because the number

fore the distribution OF the ma

And II is on the basis OF data
such as these that public emer-
gency work relief policies will be
established. and the plans for ex-
panSion OF employment will be
worked out. Unemployment is
one OF the evils which not only is
destructive Of each mans ability to
earn a living. and consequently
his individualism. his pride. but
also is extremely damaging TO
trade union organization. resulting
as 1t does in competition for Jobs
at sub-union rates.
Another function Of the general
population census is that Of OBJ

pies occupations. These data.

Of social and economic problems
created by the unsettled condi-
tons Of the last ten years has
caused those in charge OF the prep
aration Of the census schedules
to put more emphasis than ever
before on formulating questions
which bear directly upon social
and economic problems. These
are. Of course. matters Of para
mount Importance TO labor.
The four greatest problems of
the working man are all closely
dealt with By the Census. and
statistical data concerning them
may be forthcoming after the
returns are In which will be Of
very real value In arriving at
partial or complete solutions Of
them. These four problems are:
unemployment. jobs, income and
housing.
Unemployment

1898. which was made by mail. is
the only recent attempt at a ma
tional unemployment count. The

concerning the number of plumb

in his state or his city: and these
figures will be available for all
states and for the larger cities.
Aids Labor
Among the other censuses taken
in 1910. along with the biennial
count Of population. are the BIZ
ennial Census OF Manufacturers.
and the Census Of Business which
was first taken in 1890 and again
in 1898 and 1895. These. and the
Census OF Mines and Quarries. all
of which begin on Jan. 2. offer
labor invaluable indices to job OPP
portunities. for 1t is one OF the
functions Of these special censuses
to report the number Of salaried
and wage employees used in all OF
the various industries and bust
nesses Of the country. "a trend

ployment in manufacture of rayon.

the number OF vacant dwellings in

what extent housing in America
is wrongly adjusted to peoples in

in the development OF housing at
prices working people can afford.

In which the censuses OF 1910

these fieldsJ A careful study Of
these reports will give labor a

the worker.

The figures covered enrollments in
283 cities. Mr.. McNutt said the re-
port shows "the training of workers
in vocational schools is one of the
swiftest moving phases of the ma
tional defense program"
Men and youths from 16 to go are
being trained in summer schools,
along with a few women in such
trades as blueprint reading, lathe
work, milling, chipping and filing,
parachute-making, welding. riveting
