5,000,000 OWE J0BS T0 WORK-SHARING {Teagle Committee’s Analysis Discloses Signs of Stable Employment. Indications that work-sharing in in- dustry is the only reason that about 5,000,000 persons now have regular jobs were found in early returns from & nation-wide inquiry, as analized in a statement last night by the Teagle Share-the-work Committee, organized to carry out this part of the program of the Federal Reserve Banking and In- dustrial Committees which are striving to_promote recovery. The survey was conducted at the re- quest of the committe by the Depal ments of Commerce and Labor, which have received replies from 91,000 of 400,000 questionnaires distributed to; employers in every kind of commercial sctivity, many accompanied with sup- plemental information rounding out a composite picture of the situation. The committee, in its statement, signed by Walter C. Teagle, chairman; L. C. Walker, vice chairman, and E. S. Cow- . secretary, observed: . “With rare exceptions the heads of organizations employing from one or two workers to 100,000 tell of their efforts to effect gradual and continuing ad- Jjustments to the end that their work- ers may continue in receipt of sufficient earnings to carry them through the de- pression. In few instances among the returns is there an indication that the roprietors of business have placed Brelr own interests, shead of thase of their workers, or that they have even attempted to safeguard their assets by eliminating surplus employes from the pay rolls.” Stability Indicated. Meanwhile, encouraging indications ©f stability in industrial employment were given in the monthly statement of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Labor Department. Its figures for De- cember, as compared with November, showed an average decline of only 0.4 r cent in the number of employes in 7 major industrial groups, with a drop of only 0.9 per cent in their pay roll, despite that the most important group, the manufacturing industries, showed decreases, respectively, of 1.9 and 23 per cent. The Teagle Committee’s analysis was on 21,884 of the returns received the survey , and showed shat 16,873, or 77 per cent, came from es- tablishments operating on a work- sharing basis as an emergency meas- aire to carry their employes through the depression. . These employers furnished jobs to an aggregate of 1,176,513 per- Of these, 242,022, or nearly 21 cent, have been retained by virtue work spreading, and 33,221 were en- gaged from the ranks of the unem- ployed because of opportunities created through shortening hours of operation. The firms now on a share-the-work plan said they would employ 18,003 ad- ditional workers in the next few weeks @as further adjustments were made. Complete returns covering 93 cities of 100,000 population or more have been compiled and tabulation of the remain- ing reports will be ready in about three Chapin Lauds Commitfee. Roy D. Chapin, Secretary of Com- metce, said the replies which have come to his attention indicated that, without any promotional efforts whatever, work nd concerns for varying periods dating back two years or more. He credited the Teagle Committee with having given form and impetus to the movement, with the result that most of the industrial plants in the country have contributed in this way to ending the spread of unemployment. “The tremendous response to the questionnaire sent out by the Depart- ment of Commerce and Labor at the request of the Teagle Committee, is a gratifying evidence of the willingness of employers to take unusual steps to help the workers of the country th this emergency,” Mr. Chapin said. “So far, too few of the employers of white collar workers have extended work for men and women unaccus- ed to manual labor. “However, I understand that many employers in this cat have been holding off to await the results of trial of work division which is beins made by a number of department stores, offices and banks. There is no doubt in my mind that where due precautions i have been taken against working hard- ships to those affected, the practice of | operating so as to keep the maximum number on the pay rolls has been a great stabilizing force.” A typical attitude among most own- ers of shops, manufacturing plants and merchandising establishments, was cited by the Teagle committee by quoting a short letter received from a printer and in Chicago, in which he said: “During the past two years we have #haintained our entire force, and not one has had to resort to charity. We mve done this at a great sacrifice, ving gone into the red every month during those two years. We have tried to create special work through selling campaigns, advancing small amounts against commissions—all of which has ended in loss for us. We try to get in 30 hours a week. We have all taken slashes. Our credit has been impaired, but we are still carrying on.” Mining Company Reports. A company in Upper New York which carries on mining as part of its opera- tions reported on its effort to minimize ;he hardships of unemployment as fol- lows: “Since the depression started our work has been divided equally among our employes at the mills and mines. ‘The work is organized for 24-hour days at the mills—when we have been able to work full time. When demands do not warrant this, we drop to three-quar- ter time, six-hour shifts instead of eight, or to half-time four-hour shifts. “The farms of necessity are seasonal. Our employes are told they can get milk at the farms at 4 cents a quart. The farms will also supply them with meat, and they can pay for these supplies by working on the farms. We have also given wood to unemployed in this vi- cinity. They may cut this for their own use or to sell. There are now 50 men | engaged in this work.” A surprising number of employers re- plied that work sharing was not appli- cable to their peculiar requirements and then proceeded to describe their policies, which complied fully with the princi- ples of the share-the-work movement. A typical instance was a pharmaceutical { plant in Wisconsin, the president of which wrote: 1 “It is difficult to share our work be- cause our people have to be qualified for particular jobs and it would be hard, if not impossible, to obtain such men on the street. Further, we wish to advise that during all this time we have kept our full force on the pay roll, not on account of the volume of business for we could certainly have gotten along with a smaller force.” ‘The figures of the Bureau of Labor ending nearest the 15th of the month received from 68,229 identical establish- | ments in 17 major industrial groups having in December 4,476,531 employes whose combined earnings in one week ‘were $86,519,751.

Such wealth of sound can only be produced by a group of singers that have learned it through the rich church repertoire and the communal singing of their native land. Deep resonant tones resembling & powerful church organ were shaded to the light quality of boys’ voices with thorough balance. Russia is most famous for its fine bass voices and those heard last night were of remarKable range and sonority. The tenor voices were not correspondingly beautiful or unusual and in some forte passa{m they sounded harsh and force The Don Cossacks sing with a pre- cision of intonation that is remlrhp;‘le. ‘They pass through difficult harmonies easily and intricate passages are given Wwith the security of an instrument. Fine planissimos that are but a breath of sound are carefully developed into mighty volume, each step increased to the proper degree with artistic under- standing. In several songs they provided their OWn accompaniment, imitating their native instrument perfectly and giving the twang of strings or the boom of chords with faithful reproduction.

The melody “Evensong,” from “Liturgy” was another example of finely controlled singing. The remaining numbers were peasant songs full of humor and gayety, wild Cossack melodies and rousing soldier songs where the bugle call and horses’ impatient hoof beats were startlingly imitated.

Roosevelt, wife of the Presiden elect, in an address here tonight de: scribed herself as the “listening post” of the incoming administration, and ap- pealed to citizens to aid in keeping the administration informed of the true state of the Union. “My husband has just been elected President,” she saild. “It is an over- whelming responsibility, and the Ameri- can people, when they elect men to hl‘gh office, expect something of their wives.” Mrs. Roosevelt said she had chosen for her prime duty as the wife of the next President to aid him in feeling the pulse of the Nation. Every One Says “Yes.” “One of the dangerous things,” Mrs. Roosevelt said, “in high office is that you never hear the truth. Every one says ‘yes’ to you. I have built up my mail until T receive hundreds of letters daily with the intent of obtaining a true picture of what the country is think- ing and feeling, and perhaps I can be of assistance in that way.” She spoke here at Orchestra Hall as a guest of the Illinois League of ‘Women Voters and made two special appeals—for youth to interest itself in politics and for women particularly to unite in efforts to autlaw war. ‘The problems of the day, Mrs. Roosevelt said, had thrust themselves into each life and the young people who were just beginning to vote would be the ones on whom final decision in solution of the problems likely would fall. To youth she advised keen study of all partles and problems. “Study both sides,” she said, “and make your decisions impartially. I am not one of those who belleve in being hide-bound in a party. A party needs to be kept up to its ideals.” Mrs. Roosevelt said she had little patience with those persons who termed the younger generation “unsatisfactory and fearful of responsibility.” “After all” she said, “I can remind those critics that my generation and your generation has made the present generation. Youth is affected primar- ily by example.” “Pioneering” Needed. The present period of stress Mrs. Roosevelt described as one that required ploneering of the same brand that faced the Nation's forefathers. “We have come to the place where we must learn and try new things,” she sald. “We must learn first that our Government is one of individual leaders can fail in a democracy unless all citizens pull the oass the same direction in the same boat.” Mrs. Roosevelt warned against “going to sleép as regards international affairs and efforts to outlaw war.” The wom- en, she said, had left that responsibility mainly to the Government. “We can not prevent war unless we make ourselves felt and unless we change our present thought,” Mrs. Roosevelt said. “War prevention is a woman's crusade, and if we do not act we will have war and shall deserve to suffer what women alone suffer in war.” Mrs. Roosevelt spoke extemporane- ously, referring only once or twice to notes. She was introduced by Miss Jane Addams, head of Chicago’s Hull House. DEMOCRACY ON TRIAL, THOMAS DECLARES Socialist Leader Says Singers of Liberty Are Worst Foes of System. By the Associated Press. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, January 21.— Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for President in the last election, told five Illinois audiences today “Democ- racy’s worst foes are not Fascists nor Communists, but those who mouth ‘my country 'tis of thee, sweet land of lib- erty’ and bear the label of democracy.” Carrying criticism of conditions, which he said proved the loss of civil liberty for “a considerable portion of Illinois’ population which lives today in a con- stant state of fear.” to the centers he critisized, Thomas ton‘ght ended a two- day tour into mine fields of Franklin and Christian Counties. He also con- ferred with Gov. Henry Horner on the mine situation and addressed the e :’:h Smheficunltv‘e’gum here. each meeting mas praised Gov. gg;nsl fi{or initiating his administra- an effort to restore tranquil- lity in the mine areas. In concluding his addresses he said he was eignAle:eed there was less de- mocracy erica today than at any period in its history, and added, “as never before democracy is on trial for its very existence. ~ e - | Closed Owing R.

(Copyright, 1033, by the Associated Press), NEW YORK, January 21.—A billion- dollar municipal government overhead will face America’s 10 largest citles this year. These 10 citles, with an population of 19,107,400 mm census, have 1933 budgets providing for expenditure of approximately $1,069,- 500,5‘22 on their municipal establish- ments, For those statisticlans who like to stand greenbacks end on end, means that every man, woman and child of these urban dwellers would bute about $57 in 1933, or $1.10 & if the cost were to be spread evenly. Last year the bill was considerab! !’%gher, reaching a total of $1,228,017,- New York will spend almost as much as the other nine combined. Thée New York budget, the city fathers have promised, will total only $521,000,000, after salary cuts and other economies have been subtracted from the tenta- tive figure of $556,000,000. Last year the metropolis spent $631.- 366,297 or $91.10 per capita. The basic tax rate was $2.59. This year New York is again far in the van, with a per capita expenditure of $75.17 for its 6,930,446 citizens. Los Angeles Trails.

New York is cutting $19,000,000 from salaries and $16,000,000 from other sources further to reduce its already No estimate of the tax rate has increased from $2.45 to $2.65 despite other drastic economles. In Boston reductions have been made in practically every department, and Mayor Curley says the Gerreased ap- propriations equal a drop of about $1.60 in the tax rate. Civic bodies are de- manding further cuts. The sheet at present is tentative, and does not in- clude schools. Cleveland is now making its budget, which runs annually from 50 to 60 millions. St. Louis is faced with a probable def- icit ths year, which officials decline to estimate. Municipal employes have taken a 10 per cent cut and the budget does not include a $4,600,000 unem- ployment relief bond issue. San Francisco's gross budget includes costs of county government and mu- nicipal utilities which are self-support- ing and amounts to $51,700,000, or some $13,300,000 more than the net figure used in the table. A charter amend- ment has made possible salary cuts. Chicago’s budget still is in the tenta- tive stages, and drastic cuts have been made in all departments. Philadelphia’s total includes $30,913.- 000 for schools and is a decrease of $9,000,000 from last year. Pay cuts ranging from 10 to 53 per cent were adopted. The mayor's pay was cut from $18.000 to $14,000. Detroit’s fiscal year starts July 1 and ‘budget talk has just begun.
