The international itself has already
bought one of the candles.
Said William Green in making
known the latest list of contributors
to the cake fund:
"We of organized labor know of no
more appropriate way to show our
extreme interest and sympathy with
the cause represented by Presidents
Birthday Ball celebrations than to,
present the chief executive of this
great nation with a birthday cake, the
handiwork and skill of American la
Dor.
"We know of no better way to
give concrete expression to our
interest and sympathy than to
contribute literally to the fund
science needs to combat crippling
poliomyelitis and the broken
hearts it leaves in it's wake.
"For that reason, in addition to the
more than 3 million birthday greeting
cards which organized labor is this
year mailing direct to the White
House with the dime and dollar con-
Itributions of it's individual members,
we have also decided to raise a cake
fund to represent the contributions of
international union treasures entirely
apart from individual membership
contributions. We are raising this
fund by means of So candles on the
cake which we are offering for sale
to unions themselves at a minimum
of $100 per candle, the combined fund
so raised to represent labor's cake
fund to the cause of infantile par
alysis apart from the dimes and doll

became clear that prior need was
the rallying of the forces in educa-
tion that were devoted to the perpet-
uation Of the democratic way of life.
Accordingly Teachers College at Co.
lumbia University assumed the initia-
tive in calling such World Congress
on Education for Democracy, and in
vited the collaboration of leading in
stitutions of business, labor and farm
.ers. The. Federation of Labor was
invited to membership in this. Con-
gress. The Workers Education Bu-
reau was also invited to confer ON
planning the program for the Con-
gress. *Ss1
"When this Congress was convened
in August of this year, it was evil
dent to everyone that the challenge
of dictatorship to democracy had be-
come acute. With war clouds gather
ing over Europe, the. Congress met
in the City of New York. It was a
time of deepening crisis in the world.
The need for worldwide message in
support of democracy was urgent.
The Congress met that need.
Moreover, this great assembly
brought leaders of State and educa-
ton from, different parts of the world
and representatives from no less than
% different national organizations in
American life. By addresses, which
were broadcast through the world
through the press, and in the movies
the message of this Congress reached
literally to the four corners Of the
earth.
Three-Point Program Adopted
arising out of this Congress was
the decision for three-fold program
Cd A continuing agency for the per.
petuation of the Congress for perioo
of five years; (2) the development OF
a manual for the guidance of loca
groups, and (3) the development Of
basic research in the field of education
and democracy.
Responsive to the invitation Of
President Green, Dean William +
Russell Of Teachers College at Co
lumbia University addressed the Fifty
ninth Convention Of the American
Federation Of Labor and reported
briefly on the work of this Congress
HE invited the continued cooperation
on the part Of the American Fedora
tion of Labor.
'In the light of great need 70
unity within the life of America a
this time, and also the insistent nee'
for perpetuating the democratic wa,
of life, your committee recommend
that the American Federation of La

Germany's level of unemployment to
such an extent that fourth of all
the non-mobilized industrial workers
were unemployed. And in Great Brit
ain, although no comparable total sta
tistics are available, the Minister of
Labor recently declared that Gin the
second month Of the last war the trade
union rate of unemployment was more
than double what it was before the
outbreak"
Unemployment BY Industries
Where have the extra unemployed
come from? 1t is clear that there
have been new demands for labor in
certain trades, but at the same time
considerable unemployment has ac-
companied the transaction from a
peace or a semi-war economy to an
economy directly geared to war needs.
Many small enterprises have closed
down and many small trades have
been disorganized by mobilization and
civilian evacuation. In France, for
example, nearly half Of the country's
unemployed are concentrated in Paris,
a city particularly affected by dislo-
cations of small-scale industry and
trade.
A second important cause of in
creased unemployment is, as in 1914
the arrival of large numbers of women
workers in the labor market, many OF
them forced into job hunting by the
|
from employment in the personal ser,
vice industries.
Also, considerable number of sal.
aried employees and Of workers in such
trades as the building trades have
lost their jobs and have not yet beer
absorbed into the changed economy
Seasonal factors, of course, account
for some unemployment.
Finally, in many countries trade re
strictions have affected employment
in export industries or industries
which depend on imports for their raw
materials. ~.
More Jobs Here
In the United States and in Can
ada, on the other hand, there was
spirit of optimism in the first week
of war. Large numbers of unem
ployed workers were absorbed in in
dustries producing for war needs
Nevertheless, national officials in thes
countries continue to warn agains
over-optimism as to the future, ant
to point out the large pockets Of un
employment which are-and will prob
ably remain for some time-basicall
unaffected by current war develop
ments.
Skilled Labor Shortage Reported
A particularly striking feature o
the present situation has been the fac
that, paralleling fairly general in
crease in total unemployment, short
ages of many kinds of skilled labo
have been greatly accentuated.
Belgium lacks coal miners, tn
Netherlands need skilled workers i
several trades, Great Britain an
France are concerned with maintain
ing a sufficient supply of skilled engi
neers, mechanics, shipbuilders, etc
and Germany is taking steps to as
sure a reserve of properly traine
workers for her industrial needs.
Even in the United States, with it
vast reservoir of unemployed work
ers, skilled labor shortages are al
ready acute in several trades and i
various parts of the country.
