* OBLESS FIEURES - CALLED TOD LOW Labor Leader Says Unions Al‘o'nev Have 5,000 Out ““of“Employment. Published reports that only 5,000 s from R. A. Executive Conirhif Labor Union. He said the true figure ‘was much higher, Mr. Dickson said, in his statement, that “had the true.facts of the unem- ment situation in this city béen vestigated it would have been imme- diately ascertained that among the union building tradesmen alone there are a great number more than 5000 unemployed. Of these there are hun- dreds who have no semblance of a job to go to. . There are in addition to these hundreds that are working only part time with absolutely no indication of steady employment in sight. This condition, it will be observed, exists in the building .trades alone and does not include the thousands that are unem- ployed at the miscellaneous trades. “In mentioning these figures it will be understood, of course, that I refer only to union people that are unem- ployed. The number of people that are unemployed that are not affiliated with @ labor union can be ascertained b¥ making a house-to-house canvass for this purpose or have every person un- empl(?yed notify some bureau to that effect. 1 do not believe either of these courses were followed. Had this been done I certainly believe it would have been found that there are double the amount of people unemployed that are not affiliated with a labor union. This in itself would bring the figure of un- employment_in Washington to 15,000 and over. Those of us who are con- stantly in contact with the unemploy- ment situation in Washington find it impossible to say, within a fair degree of accuracy, how many people that are unemployed that do not belong to a labor organization, how then can any one arbitrarily set the figure at 5,000? #It is nothing short of unfair to our people for any one to make and publish such a statement. It canmonly result in making the unemployment situation in Washington more acute. ‘We expect, as a result of this statement, that people outside of Washington will immediately come here seeking employ- ment -that is not to be had, thereby either causing . the unemployment of some now employed or them- selves to the long list of those now un- employed. “We do not believe the publisher of the statement has made any extensive study of the unemployment situation in ‘Washingron.

Nor do we believe the figures of any authoritative body as to the mimber of people out of employ- ment In Washington are quoted. ey have not consulted with those in . of the various labor unions in this city for the purpose of asce: the nuwmber of members each loeal union has idle, and not baving done this they ‘would not know. “We charge the statement is both fallacious and misleading, and challenge them #o publish the true facts, if they have them, and by what manner of reason they have arrived at their figures.” —_— MALBRAN RETURNS AS ARGENTINE ENVOY Former Ambassador, Who Left Washington in 1928, Arrives : in New York on ‘Way Back.

By Radio to The 8 GDYNIA, Poland, November 11.—A new railway was officially opened in Poland today which threatens to play a bigger part in peace conferences of Europe and on the League of Nations Council's table than any army. In ef- fect, it goes an enormous way toward insuring retention by the Poles of the Danzig corridor. In fact, it seems to be the main reason why it has been built. An insignificBnt line on the map, about 150 kilometers (about 93 miles) long, with proposed extensions of the most vital section which has just been completed, is the short dis- tance track of a few kilometers con- necting Karthaus with Gdynia—"“the sword of Poland. 5 Gdynia Is Miracle Port. Gdynia—although most people prob. ably have never heard of it—is Po land's new miracle port on the Baltic Sea. A rival of Danzig, a superb ad- venture, a colossal expenditure of money (mostly French)—are all reasons why the League of Nations or any other peaceful body will have a hard, almost impossible, task of taking it from Poland—especially singe the new railway runs for its whole distance throt Polish territory, under joint French-Polish financial control, touches ngither Danzig, East Prussia nor Ger- many—and eludes most of the impor- tant citles in the corridor until it gets safely on undisputed Polish soll and has clear connections with Warsaw and the Polish hinterland. QGdynia, created in less than nine years, is really a miracle. It is a mush- room port and city that seemed to ap- pear overnight. It is a strip of abso- lutely open sea coast, only a few miles from Dangig, suddenly become a sea~ port rivalling the best in Eurdpe. There is no river behind it and no natural coverage. Breakwaters, docks, t cranes, boulevards, hotels, shops, busi- ness premises, & residential quarter, public services, schools, churches, - m, vernment offices—they are all e created with such rapidity as to make a Western - American seem like a slow-motion picture. Many Ships Are Predicted. ‘There are not many ships yet. But these are coming, say the Poles—points ing inland along the new shining rail- road into the rich hinterland—even de- claring that Gdynia will be the big sea- port of Central Europe and New Rus- sia. They claim it can handle 4,000,- 000 tons of shipping yearly at the pres- ent moment—8,000,000 in the near fu- ture. And tucked snugly away to the right side of the harbor breakwater is the naval basin, the dest-oyers lying with steam up, showing Poland the third largest military power in Europe now arming on sea. Money, money, money—the more poured into the new rallway and Gdynia, the more difficult will be the task of any councll table to make the Poles let go of it—especially since most ot that money is French—the more chimerical becomes any rectification of frontiers of the corridor. “We Lave to have it,” declare the polite Poles; “Dan- 21g is not big enough. We %o not intend to boycott Danzig, as both ports will be busy supplying goods for Poland's great future. (Danzig, a city of 200,000 with 20,000 unemployed at the present mo- ' ment, is not so sure about this). Any- way, Poland is a great European power and we now have our own port and rail- way entirely under our own control from Galicia to the Bsitic.” (Copyrient, 1930 LOWRY IS KILLED IN FALL IN MEXICO AFTER CHARMED LIFE (Continued Prom First Page) Their two small sons were with their father here.
