By the Associated Press. i NEW YORK, November 12.—It isn't cnly finding a job when you're unem- | Ployed—there's the other important matter of keeping out of the numerous !traps set by conscienceless racketeers. Imagine a man without a job, a fam- ily to feed, Winter coming on. His shoes |are worn from disappointing tramp- |ing, employment agency to employent | agency. There appears an attractive adver- tisement—men wanted in his line im- | mediately. He rushes to fill out the ap- ! plication. An impressive-locking indi- | vidual tells him he has been selected as one of the few for the jobs. Employe” Buys Stock. But— There's the matter of a bond. The company wants its employes to have an j interest in the firm. So instead of the usual surety bond there is a more at- tractive plan by which the employe buys a share of stock, for maybe $100 or maybe $500 in a year, the whole thing back with interest and, of course, a handsome salary in the meantime! The unemployed man is a bit taken back. It's going to be hard to borrow snother $500. But there's the neces- sity for work, the necessity to feed his family, he's got to do something. He borrows $10 from this relative, $10 from that one, pawns something, mort- gages something else and turns all the cash he can raise over to the “com- “‘company” tells him to report for work in a few days, and fades from the picture. The appointed daw comes, the unemployed man finds an empty office. It's an old racket. manager of the Better Business Bureau of New York, said today, but it is worked over and over in many different lines, and the more the unemployment, the greater the number of racketeers to work it. There are many other ways of prey- igg upon the unemployed. One of them, worked with considera- N. J.

Unemployed men were urged to buy & truck and trailcr, paying $800 or more down, on the promise the dealer would give them a contract guaranteeing a certain amount of profitable hauling. Very often the dealer squirmed out of the contract after the victim signed the necessary finance notes, or, if he was forced to give it there was a ‘“joker” clause which made it subject to, of all things, “business Gepression.” Most recent anong the rackets, says Kenner, are a number of employment agencies which advertise they ‘are not employment agencies and which escape in that way the State license law. They advertise valuable connections with employers, charge a handsome fee in advance and do no more toward getting 4| a victim a job than to write a letter to the prospective employer. The employer throws the letter in the waste basket, the “agency” pockets the fee—the un- employed man has been bilked. Numerous beneiits are staged in the name of the unemployed and the mon=y goes to racketeers. EDGERTON ASKS CUT IN PUBLIC SPENDING Head of Manufacturers’ Group Says 54 Per Cent of Companies Maintain Wage Level. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 12.—John E. Edgerton of New York, president of the National Assoclation of Manufacturers. called on local, State and national zo ermments Tuesday to reduce public ex- penditures as “the very greatest contri- bution they could make toward the restoration of prosperity.” Speaking before the Illinois Manu- facturers’ Costs Association, Edgerton said: “High cost of government, un- necessary duplicating bureaus and high taxes are the greatest bane and the chief threat to our national recovery. There should be a strong public demand that government follow the example of sound business by cutting costs wherever practicable. “For the first time in a national eco- nomic depression the wage earner has been the very last to be called upon to deflate. Also the highest money rate reached was 30 per cent, while in 1893 money was unobtainable even at the bid of 360 per cent. “Decreases in production, sales and prices have struck an average of ap- proximately 40 per cent, or nearly three times that of wage reductions, while 54 per cent of member companies re- porting to our national association held to their wage scale or bettered it dur- ing the slack period.” DRAINAGE JOB SAVINGS PROVIDE WORK FOR 2,000 Big Pick and Shovel Brigade to Carry On as Result of Bir- mingham Economy.

Jones, president of the commission, said the work will include construction of storm sewers and drain- age canals and that the number of laborers probably would be increased to 3,000 as the work progresses.
