Mrs, Harriman Says
Labor Conditions
Normal for Season
WASHINGTON, Feb. IS. The Investi
gation of th unemployment problem by
the Industrial relation commission wilt
be a speedy one and will cover nil tho
large cities from New York to Knnsej
City.
President Wilson today expressed the
belief that Chairman Frank P. Walsh
had based his estimate of 330,000 men
out ot work in New York city alone on
current reports and not on any Investi
gation by the commission. The prcsl
Cent added that the figures hail been
challenged.
Mrs. J. B. Harriman, the resident
commissioner, Issued a statement today
pointing out that this was tho time of
year at which unemployment usually
becamo acute, and the piesldent told his
callers he had no reports of wldcspreod
business depression, but to the contrary
had reports that .conditions throughout
the country wcro rapidly growing more
encouraging.
"Any one who falls to realize that
conditions aro about tho same In the.
labor market now as they aro at this
reason a year ago," Mrs. Harriman said
today, "is cither Ignorant of conditions
or Is Inslnccrp.
"Tho commission hopes to havo a
I moro practical answer to tho question.
What is to be done about the un
employed?' than tho now famous one
made by one of our public men. 'God
knows.'
"Tho unskilled laborers, who are the
chief sufferers from these annual per
iods of unemploymcnt.,are -for the most
part migratory and belong to the class
known as -floating labor. This makes
tho problem an Interstate one, which can
only be adequately studied by a federal
body.
Democrats Expect
to Adjourn Congress
by Middle of June
i
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-June 15 Is tho
dato democratic leaders hope to adjourn
congress. "President Wilson believes tho
senate and house may work at tho samo
tlmo on tho trust bills. Ho told callers
today that business men were now show
ing a greater interest In the new legisla
tion and that in many cases it was a
very helpful Interest. That Interest, how
ever, Is not bo active as ho had expected,
and ho attributes that to tho fact that
business men have discounted tho char
acter of legislation and that tho meas
ures in a general way meet their ap
proval. The president incidentally remarked to
day that many objections to the publicity
features of the trade commission bill
were based on a misconception of what
the bureau ot corporations already could
do by present statutes. The president
sees little difference In the Interstate
trade commission and the present bureau
of corporations, which wlllbc merely t$j
largea oy the legislation. It already has
broad powers of Inquisition. The presi
dent looks for early action on the meas
ures. Accounts of Treasurer
Who Killed Himself
Are Found Correct
ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 16.-Accountants
from tho comptroller's office today re
ported after examining the books of
State Treasurer Kennedy that they were
In perfect condition. Tho examination to
day went back only to last Monday, but at
that tlmo they wcro balanced by the samo
men who made the audit today-and pro
nounced correct A complete audit of tho
books from the tlmo Mr. Kennedy took
office up to tho date ot his death prob
ably will follow.
Mr. Kennedy's successor will be chosen
by tho legislature in. Joint session. At
torney General Carmody has expressed
tho opinion that a majority vote of all
the elected legislators would bo required
to select a new treasurer. In that event,
It was pointed out, the republicans would
havo to receive assistance from the pro
gressives or else face tho possibility of a
deadlock In case the democrats stood to
gether. Tho republicans on Joint ballot
are able to muster only 86 votes, 73 In tho
assembly and 17 in tho senate, while a
majority Is 101.
