FIGURES AR GIVEN ON UNENPLOYNENT Jones Sees Relief From Gloomy Situation When Weather Settles. Painting a gloomy picture of the em- | ployment situation in Washington, and describing it as the worst in at least | two years, Director General Francis I. | Jones of the United States Employment | Service today held out hope that as | soon as the weather settles a miaterial | decrease in the number of unemployed persons in the Capital will take place. Mr. Jones has just completed a survey of the unemployment situation in Wash- ington. This survey revealed the fol- Jowing facts: The enroliment of job-seckers at the office of the employment service in the 1400 block Pennsylvania avenue )s much larger than at this time last year. Opportunities for placement cf jol seekers are not as many as at this time last year. More people are being handled by the local office on search of jobs, but there are fewer jobs for them An abundance of common labor | awaits the opening of the Spring sea- | son for road and building construction | work. Skilled Workmen Idle. Many skilled workmen, including car- penters and bricklayers, are out of | work and unemployment extends to all lines of skilled workers The largest surplus of clerical help and clerks in many months exists Nday in the District of Columbia. with | ¥ile likelinood of absorption by the | vernment and private business. . Jones' statement came on the | vels of a declaration by directors of !‘.:.:: charitable organizations affiliated the Community Chest that they -y having “great difficulty in caring lor all the cases of need arising from unemployment.” These groups warned that some way must be found to keep non-residents in need of relief away from Washington and the same warn. ing was given today by Mr. Jones. “Washington seems to be suffering from a situation which is certain to bring about much unemployment,” M Jones said. “I mean that many pecp! come to Washington expecting o get jobs immediately, and are disappointed in their efforts to find work in the Government_service or in private em- ploy. They tha nare thrown on the mer- cies of the charitable institutions and come to us seeking positions, Nor- mally we have been able to maintain a reasonable balance between smployment opportunities and applicants seeking jobs, but this year the number of jobs is smaller and the number of applicants greater—a situation that seriously ag- gravates conditions here. Sees Relief for Laborers. “As soon as the weather opens up 1 have every hope that most of the com- mon laborers now walking the streets | will be absorbed in the enlarged road | building and road maintenance program ‘which I understand will be intsituted in gton with the coming of Spring. Although this program may not reduce the number of unemployed | among clerical workers, it will be of great benefit to those who can be placed. I also believe that when the weather settles, much of the present surplus oty workers in the skilled trades will be ab- sorbed in construction activities.” ‘ Mr. Jones said he did not wish to| make public any figures on the in- creased number of unemployed workers | over those at this time last year, stat- ing that an untrue picture of the sit- uation might be presented if he did so. He added that the local employment office undoubtedly does not reach all the applicants for jobs in Washington and that on this theory figures might be misleading. He was emphatic, how- ever, in his declaration that the num- ber of jobless here is greater than it | has been during last year and the pre- vious year and that opportunities for Jobs are fewer. GEN.

Boat Well Equ This is the third of a series of four articles on activities of the United States Coast Guard. BY IVAN H. PETERMAN. CAPE MAY, N. J., February 26— There is an old saying that during the first period ot seasickness one fears he will die and that during the last period he fears he won't. I understand why. Tke C-G 112 was outdoing itself, it seemed. tic, with a high sea running, the stanch little patrol boat was kicking up its heels and having a gay old time, Tosn Cutler h7 * brought us out on the three-day patrol, were nowhere in sight. “Mac,” the photographer, was either asleep or unconscious in the bunk opposite mine and the cook's galley was clattering like an army of skeletons drilling on a_tin roof T decided it was no place for me. After three false starts, crawling back each tims to the bunk to recuperate, 1 lurched through the galley anc. gained th: steps to the deck. A cool breeze whistled down and after some effort 1 poked my head above deck just in time to be soaked by a big wave. It was clear, but a mild gale was blowing. ‘Three brilliant stars shone directly over the mast on the pilot house. T looked at them, envying their complacent domain in a universe that seemed kent on destiuction. It was & pretty silhouette Suddenly the stars gleamed without the foreground of the boat's super- stricture. That was lying next the sea and the starboard rail was dipping I reeled. Then the mast resumed its position pointing at the stars. Again it rocked, the mast swung to port. This was re- peated until the 1 ast became a metro- nome, the wind a siren and Neptune a ma ! musician who tore his hair and raged at my indifference to his tune. A glance convinced me that it would be suicide to attempt passage along that half-submerged, pitching deck. There was nothing to do but go back to.my bunk and pray for calm daylight. An hour or so later somebody came into the galley. It was Northam. His eyes were bloodshot and protruding. He was ghastly. “I got it, too, tonight,” he said. “It’s a~ful up there. Can't see ahead.” He fished around and foupd a can of pickles, eating two. “Fix your stomach up,” he explained. “Have one?” I coulin’t o it. “Seen anything?” I asked. “Nothing but a couple of steamers.” Vaguely I thought of a smuggler's ship we had seen two days ago lying so smug on a calm sea. What I did not krow was that a Cuast Guard iestroyer aleady was cutting the waves south- ward, trailing, t: ‘ling. . . . Comes the Dawn—At Last. Morning came at last. From the bunk I heard the men discussing the night’s patrol, learning that it was bad for only an hour or so. “You fellows sh_(:;xld have been along last time,” they said. Breakfast odors drove me on deck 1t was bright and sunlit, and to my de- light the snow-covered shore line was d:ad ahead. I choked down a bowl of cereal and joined the group forward. There had been no contact with smugglers. Two boats had loomed in suspicious. Either the prey had es- caped detection or had moved on be- fore we arrived. ceeded into the calmer watcrs of Dela- ware Bay. It was a great relief, I ate some pickles and they helped. “Man overboard!" The call brought all hands to at- tention. It was “Mac,” preparing for pictures. The crew joined in the drill enthusiastically, and if the “man” was only a life ring, the lifeboat was [ launched with dispatch, and the drill, even to the ‘“resuscitation,” came off | with eclat. At half speed we scoured the bay, moving up to Port Norris, N. J., and the anchored oyster fleet. There was ice in the river; we cracked our way through, turned about and started out into the bay again. waved. Following the steamer channel down the bay, we passed Miah Maull and Brandywine Light's dull maroon towers thrust out of the bay to warn of shoals The kecper at Miah Maull came out and waved—sight of the patrol so close apparently made him think he was about to have a guest. There was dis- appointment in his- features as we watched him through the glass, for our boat was already heading southeast. “There isn't much chance of meeting Coast Guards Hold Enthusiastic Life Drill—Patrol Recalcitrant Suspects.

Then, lying on deck, —for when things are shipshape only one or two men are needed—the crews enjoy a yachtman's life, and only Willie, in the galley, suffers. “It ‘gets powerful hot down he said. “Come below. I'll show you the equip- ment,” sald Cutler. From a small | cubby room aft, which opened into | the quarters where “Mac” and I spent the night, the bos'n brought forth a Lewis machine gun with several car- | tridge cli | _“These boats are capable of only | about 15 knots, or around 18 miles an | hour,” he said. “So when we spot a | suspicious boat and want to look her | over we fire a shot across the bow if she fails to heed a signal to heave to. | If she wants to give fight, or run, we have the machine gun to show them | we mean business.” | Arms and Ammunition. | There also were quantities of am- | munition for the one-pounder, an auto- | matic pistol for each of the crew, hand- cuffs for possible prisoners and various other equipment convenient in the handling of recalcitrant suspects. According to the Coast Guard of- ficers, there is little trouble once a suspect boat is ordered to heave to. The patrol runs alongside, lines are made fast and the boat searched. If liquor, dope, aliens, or any other con- traband is found, the crew of the cap- tured boat is brought on to the patrol and put under guard, and the patrol reports by radio to the base, with the result that either she tows her prize in, or the stand-by patrol, a sort of substitute held in readiness for emer- gency, goes out to take charge of the captives. The stand-by boat also answers emer. gency help calls,. if a patrol becomes heljess in a_sea or something else goest wrong. Likewise, the radio com- munication makes it possible for pa- trols to rush to each other’s aid. Thus, | should a suspect succeed in eluding one | patrol, others will' be summoned until several are circling the area. This method was responsible for driv- | ing a recently captured smuggler to| shelter on the lower New Jersey coust where other Coast Guardsmen, antici- pating his destination, were waiting for [ him on shore. Although the crew es- | caped, the boat and contraband were | captured and sent to customs head- quarters in Philadelphia. We next went through the engine room, observing the espectally designed Sterling Coast Guard motors, which, lo- cated amidships, drive the boat through | the water. Th¢ minimum of strain is | put on the small craft by having these | engines so placed. They are: beautiful | machines, and the engineers take great | pride in displaying their various ad- | vantages.
