Other senators contended the
Austin proposal would do the same
thing as stopping strikes, however.
Under it's terms the government
could direct workers to return to
a strike-stilled industry if it is re-

If the workers still refused re-
placements could be recruited
from among other civilians, by

Like the phrase. competitive
waste the phrase. full employ
ment' is more verbal than real
istic. No government. no indus,
try. no candidate for public office
can guarantee full employment.
Nor do we know exactly what any
one is talking about until he de-
fines his terms. For instance, does
he mean full employment on a as
hour week. or 40. or a 80 hour
week? Does he mean at fixed
hourly wage or does he include
time and a half for overtime on
a minimum weekly basis?
Let's get a few figures on this
thing
In 1929. those employed in non
agricultural work amounted TO 81.
100000; in 1914. II was about AZ.
100000. The 1914 figure does not
include nearly 100000 in the
armed forces who should be absorb
ed in agriculture and industry
when they return. Agricultural en-
ployment has decreased from H.
100000 in 1929 to 100000 in
1914. II then these 1914 figures
are taken at face value. this coun.
try. when the war is over. will
have to find employment in agri-
cultural and non.agricultural work
for 100000 persons which is be-
yond the capacity OF this country
and will result in unbelievable un.
employment, poverty and distress.
But these figures, while accu-
rate in themselves. lead TO false
conclusions. which statistics have
a way OF doing. For instance they
include as normally employed
many persons who are abnormally
employed because OF war condi.
tons. They include. as an ex-
ample. 5.500.000 women, mostly
adult and middle-aged, married or
willing to be married, who normal
ly devote themselves to family.
raising and household cares. de-
pending upon a husband or sons
TO provide as the family breadwin.
ners. These women have taken
jobs as personal Interpretation
OF patriotism. After the war they
should go home which is even
more important than welding-and
from my way of looking at this
world. the sooner they do 1t the
better.
Then there are about 100000
children at work between the
ages OF IA and II, who normally
would be at school. To this might
be added a similar number OF over
aged and incapacitated persons
who normally would be retired.
Thus. we can take off about TO-.
100000 from the total. Also. nor
mally part.time workers, students.
housewives. etc. who take summer
or Christmas-week Jobs are often
included in the figures. Take off
about 100000 for that category.
So. in the non-agricultural field we
are down to 100000 which in
cludes the present armed forces.
In all this discussion, the words

imagination be brought under re.
lief benefits. This 10 product
both OF human psychology and po-
litical action. Is daughter who

married and has children but is
not teaching school unemployed
Is worker who works nine months
a year in a seasonal industry un-
employed for three months? All
this is a matter OF definition. For
the latter worker, for instance, II
is normal. by one set OF rules, 10
receive nine months pay each year
and to make It serve for IL months
living. That was normal before
1888; is II normal today?
When all the Figures are care
fully and ACTUALLY tabulated, II
is found that the peak of unem.
ployment was in 1882. when $780,.
900 were by the broadcast interpre.
tation OF the word, out OF work
This was "A per cent OF the popu.
lation. BY 1910. that number has
decreased to 100000 (including
the beginning OF the women war
workers inflation) or about IL per
cent of the population. Since then
there has been no unemployment
except among the incapacitated and
unwilling.
We face then a specific problem
OF employment on the basis OF de-
filming terms. II we consider those
in the armed forces as statistically
unemployed, we must deduct the
initiation OF employable due to
war conditions. But no matter
what conclusions we reach, no one
can guarantee full time employ
ment until the terms OF such EN-.
ployment are known. A govern
ment can redistribute wealth by
relief but 1t cannot provide a Job.

SAILOR CONDEMNS UNTRUE
WIVES. EARTS
Dear Editor

Dear Editor:
This little note concerns the
wives and sweethearts Of the men
in service. Through experience
and knowledge II this matter I
have come TO the conclusion that
about so per cent OF the wives and
sweethearts OF seryicemen are un-
true and unfair 10 the boys that
are overseas or in the States. Lit
tie do they realize that these boys
have given up everything that they
owned and had planned to risk
their lives on some foreign soil
so that they may remain free and
safe. It's downright shameful how
the women back home are being
unfaithful 10 the boys in service.
It's shameful and outright discour-
aging II makes the boys care less
what happens and lowers our fight
ing morale.
I'm a resident OF Ypsilanti. and
have been for about two years.
I've been in service for almost
year. I've experienced a case
OF this sort and so have some Of
my buddies. was just wonder
ing II the Press couldn't urge the
women in Ypsilanti to be more
considerate and realize what they
are doing and before they go out
with some AT or other service
man who happens to be stationed
near by to think twice before do
ing so. Tell them to take in mind
and picture their husbands and
sweethearts on some lonely island
in the South Pacific or some place
fighting in France. They aren't
going out with some native woman
in battle areas. They can't and
II they could they wouldn't. be-
cause they have too much love
and respect for the women they
left behind them. I'm asking you
to publish this not only for the
serviceman's sake but for their
own sake. II will only bring them
disgrace and shame. Thank you.
Doris Carrigan F l-c USNR
EDITORS NOTE 1t is difficult
TO believe that this letter could
apply to any Ypsilanti women who
are wives or sweethearts OF men
in the service, certainly not so per
cent.
