THE UNEMPLOYMENT CRISIS
The testimony of William Green,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, before a committee of the
United States Senate indicated that
unemployment in this country has
reached a crisis.
Mr. Green says that one out of
every four workmen in the federation
was unemployed in February, and he
estimates the total unemployment for
that month at 3,700,000. The loss to
unemployed workers during the first
three months of the year he approx
imates $1,000,000. He considers the
situation serious.
Senator Johnson, chairman of the
committee, was so impressed by the
testimony of Mr. Green and others
that he said he would submit in exe
cutive session of the committee today
three bills offered by Senator Wagner
which it is hoped can be brought be
fore the Senate within a very short
time. The Wagner bills would cre
ate a commission to plan public con
struction over long periods, and it
would appropriate $150,000,000 for
this purpose. It would also expand
Government machinery for the col
lection of unemployment information
and create a Federal unemployment
agency. The function of the agency
would be to keep the Government in
touch with the unemployed and so
do away with the present guess-work
as to the extent of unemployment.
Meantime there is another side to
this picture. One American industry
has, apparently, solved this problem.
The experience of the Procter &
Gamble Co. of Cincinnati, as told in
the March Survey, is in point. For
merly that company had the usual
rush and slack periods and the cus
tomary turnover. For example, in
1920, in its factory at Ivorydale, em
ployment fluctuated from a high of
284S to a low of 1832, a difference
of 1016. But in the depression of
last year the high enrollment was
2652, the low 2484. The difference
has been reduced to 168.
Col. Procter, the president of the
company, has explained it:
It is so simple it is almost
stupid. We went at unemploy
ment from the workers' point of
view. There's so much soap need
ed every year. Well, then, why
not make one-twelfth of that
every month? You can shovel off
the peaks of your unemploy
ment and fill the valleys. Now
isn't that simple? And it has
paid better than any other labor
thing we've ever done. Paid in
dollars and cents and paid in the
big value of not having on your
conscience the chap who wants
work and can't find a job. That
is what no business can afford.
The Procter & Gamble people
"shoveled off the peaks and filled the
valleys" by taking over the distribu
tion of their products. They have
eliminated the jobber and now sell
direct to the dealers. How much un
employment may have resulted in the
jobbing area from this departure we
do not know. It may be, too, that
consumption of soap can be forecast
more accurately than that of many
other products. Be that as it may,
the Procter & Gamble Co. now guar
antees its employes 4 8 weeks of work
a year, which for them removes the
specter of unemployment. St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.
:o:
ACROSS THE DESERT
The airplane chases the camel as
the automobile did the horse. King
Albert of Belgium flew across the
great desert, the other day, from
Cairo to Bagdad, a distance of 800
miles, and the news report indiffer
ently described it ad "an uneventful
flight." The journey by camel would
have been anything but uneventful,
though extremely dull, and would
have been decidedly more hazardous.
The airplane has widened the hor
izon of the earth to man. There are
places on the earth's surface on which
the foot of man cannot tread, but
there is no place which the eye" can
not see. Byrd exemplified this in his
Antarctic expedition, and Lindbergh
in his Latin-American flights over
abandoned, ancient cities in tangled
fastnesses.
In everyday affairs there is no
longer such a thing as time, or as dis
tance. This is so because man has
gone into the air with his eye and
his voice. Man is master of the earth
and all that is in it by his intelli
gence, and his advancement is almost
in ratio inverse to his use of his
brain instead of his muscle.
:o:
People write all kinds of funny
letters to magazines. Recently one of
America's leading magazines received
this: "You told me if I didn't like
your magazine I'd get my money
back. I have taken it a year and
don't like it. But you need not send
my money back, just apply it on an
other year's subscription."
:o:
A couple married In New Jersey
presented a license issued ten years
ago, thus affording documentary
evidence that they were not marry
ing in haste to repent at leisure.
SONS OF SATAN
A prayerbook with a New Testa
pent phrase marked was found in
the clothes of John "Billiken" Rite, a
Chicago gangster, who was drowned
1 ;i me Lmcagu run. as 11 111 prayer,
the man's hands were wired across
his breast. There were burns on the
tips of his fingers.
It may be deduced that the man
had "got religion" and his pals fear
ed exposure. This is not an impos
sible supposition, if an unlikely one.
If so, they killed him in a ritual of
course blasphemy.
Rito was a member of the Al Ca
pone band of ruffians. Neverthless,
he had been "employed" not long ago
by the "Bugs" Moran gang. In death
he wore the Capone identification em
blem, a silver buckle studded with
four diamonds.
To the normal human being it is
strange that anybody would be so
fool-hardy as to join a force of hell
with the almost certain outlook of
sudden death after a short period of
dissipation in slavery and fear. The
outlook to the general run of gang
sters is not just sudden death. Death
by torture is the rule.
:o:
A Fsj-chologist said recently that
men of retiring dispositions who
modestly keep in the background
the most pronounced type. This
seems to apply everywhere but in
Congress.
