sion.
Mr.. Mitchell, in a major

public works projects, If insti-

the adjustment sharper. more
painful and more protracted."

An audience of 5000 IN This in

Mr.. Mitchell said readjust-

it." 1T is my belief that we are

A Federal public works pro-

quarters.

vigorously criticized talk of a de-
preston or recession.
Now We have heard a great
deal about unemployment lately, !"
he said. 1T seems to me high
time that this subject is dealt
with effectively and placed in
proper prospective. Let's look at
the figures over the last IS years
for a moment"
Statistics Presented.
In 1889 unemployment in the
United States amout to 17.2 per
cent OF the total civilian labor
force; In January. 1850, it was
7.3 per cent and in January of
this year it was 3.8 per cent of
the civilian labor force. It Just
doesn't make sense to me that
We are headed for a depression
in the light of facts like these. "
MIR. Mitchell said President
Eisenhower's program would
benefit labor and the Nation. He
pointed to the Presidents pro-
posals on unemployment bene-
fits and health and medical
plans as well as a housing pro-
gram, income tax reduction, and
an atomic energy program.
