VOU know that business was good in 1912 and the
' early part of 1913. Woodrow Wjlson and a Dem
ocratic Congress came into power on March 4th, 1913.
The Wilson Underwood tariff bill was passed in
October, 1913. Business immediately began to show
signs of stagnation and recession.
In New York, Governor Glynn, when
thousands were working for 10 cents an
hour, sent a special message to the New
York Legislature, in whichJie said:
"Public attention has been forcibly turned to
the fact that a large number of men are unable
to find employment. During the past Fall and
Winter the problem of the unemployed has
steadily grown more acute. For the man who
is not sincerely anxious to secure work the pub
t lie has no sympathy. For the man who is anx
ious to work, but cannot find employment, the
State has sympathy and a very real concern."
