Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. OTTAWA, Ontario, September 7T.— Announcement by G. D. Robertson, Canadian minister of labor, that Can- ada’s unemployed exceed 530,000 will come as a mild shock to those who have not been in close touch with the con- ditions. These figures, based on re- turns from the provincial governments, reveal that Canada’s unemployed army has more than doubled since the “emer- gency session” of Parliament a year ago. On the eve of last September’s spe- cial session the minister of labor de- clared that there were “more than 200,- 000" out of work in Canada. That number has yiow increased by 165 per cent. ‘The unemployed reserve of 530,000 means that Canada has almost one- \fifth of her people out of work or de- pendent on out-of-work breadwinners, that it has proportionately nearly as many unemployed as Great Britain or the United States and that it has the greatest army of workless workers in its history. ¥ (Copyright. 1¢31) 1931.
