Boston, Sépt. 14,—Urbain Ledoux, returning here from New York today to take up again his activities in the interests of Boston's unemployed, said he intepded to inaugurate the auction block for the jobless in New York next week notwithstanding objections an- nounced by public officials and others. The services of men and women would be offered to the best bidders, he said ed statement unless remedial measures were taken to care for those out of work. He told of a night which he spent in Metropolitan parks, Mon- day, when he counted 562 men sleep- ing out of doors and said there were additional multitudes shelterless in Cen- tral park, Up To New York. “‘As with Boston," his statement said, “‘the sale of the slaves of unemployment in New York depends upon the civic conscience. Should New York ‘fail to take care of the shelterless and. hun- gry who sleep and ramble in its parks without employment and with loss of hope in self and faith in the commun- ity, the sale will surely take place, 1f adequate measures are taken then, of course, the auction block becomes unnecessary, For this a week should suffice. Concerning Women. ““I am not the one to décide wheth- er women shall be sold on the block in New York. This suggestion came from women themselves when I appeared in New York, where I have served four years in social welfare work. They said many were without work and no attention was being paid to their plight. Would 1 help them? Would I do as much for them as I had for the men? If necessary, would I sell them on the block? I said 1 would. And, if neces- sary I would have them stripped to the st as the men who went to auction here were stripped. I slept and roamed in New York parks all of Monday night and found the followfng conditions: Homeless in Parks. v “In " Bryant park' 315 hungry and shelterless. men; Madison Square, 104; Peter Cooper Square 52, and huddled in the doorway of the Cooper Union, 13. Ex-service men in uniform were sleeping there. The vast majority of all these men were under 30 years and half were certainly war veterans. “'These - figures do not include the multitudes that were sleeping in Cen- tral, Park under the hedges, in the pavilions, on the lawns and even in the lavatories ' Brice Takes Hand. Ledoux said his campaign in New York to rehabilitate the jobless would be financed in large part by W.'Kirk- patrick Brice of that city as ‘'big brather’’ of the unfortunates. Brice, ‘he said, was to have a con- ference with Mayor Peters of Boston regarding conditions here next Friday. Plans To Go West. f At the close of the New York cam- paign onSunday, September 25, Mr. Ledoux expects to take up similar work in Buffalo, Detroit and Chicago. In all these cities, he #aid, the same methods would be employed as in Boston. A few days in, advance of the opening of his campaign in each city he would sleep in the parks and live with the unem- ployed, he added.

The present bonded indebted- ness of the state is $14,291,100. The treasurer was also authorized to ad- vertise for bids for the bonds, the bids to be submitted to the board of control by 12 o'clock next Tuesday. Treasurer Gilpatric in explaining to the board the necessity of issuing the new bonds said the present was an advantageous time for the state to sell bonds and he believed that with the rate at 5 per cent. they could be sold at a premium. There are a number of large payments pending he said. He had been told by the highway commissioner that he would | soon make demand on the treasury | for $350,000 and it was necessary to | have funds to pay taxes of $309,366,| to be distributed among the towns.

The grand jury indictment does not come within the province of the jus- tice court but goes direct to the.super- ior court where it is returnable next Thursday. A warrant for the film comedian’s arrest on the manslaughter charge is expectedto be issued Friday, this district attorney said. Murder Complaint The murder complaint was sworn to Monday by Mrs. Bambino Delmont, a close friend of M Rappe. The grand jury indictment came after two sessions, each lasting many hours. The grand jury’s voting of an indict- ment charging a lesser offense than murder will not make Arbuckle eligi- ble for bail at once, the district at- torney declared. No Bail Just Yet “He will not be able to obtain tem- porary liberty on bail until the charge of murder is disposed of,” Brady said. “If the murder charge is withdrawn he will be able to obtain his freedom pending hearing on the manslaughter charge.” ‘Witnesses Called Among witnesses before jury, some of whom later testified the second day’'s proceedings of the grand nt the (Continued cn Third Page).

A meeting will be called at At- torney Nair's office next Monday night to discuss the matter and all shoe shine men have been requested to at- tend. The purpose is to form plans of petitioning the city to prohibit this procedure of the striving youths. In view of the fact that the shoe shine dealers have to pay taxes and rents, they claim that the practice of shining shoes on the streets is unfair competition and already feel the loss, The boys shine for five cents while the others chargae 10 cents. Of late the streets have had many of these ambitious bootblacks. One citizea, standing at the center, counted no less than 15 at onc time. Even With Estimated 5,735,000 Out Of Work Now, Situation Is Not As Bad As In 1914 Report Shows Cotton, Wool- en and Silk Manufactur- ing Concerns Are Already Having Increased Business Washington, Sept. 14.—Those who are disturbed over the 5,735,000 unem- ployed of today, overlook that in 1914 there were 7,000,000 out of work, & larger percentage of whom were men and actual bread winners than in the present unemployed, Secretary Davis said today in a statement. Declaring that the country has just past throtgh a period when every ef- fort was made to induce men and others who had not worked for wages or salaries before to “work and save starving Europe” Mr. Davis said pres- ent unemployment figures include great numbers of persons upon whose earnings no one is actually dependent. 12,000,000 Are at Work “While we have our unemployed let us not forget the 12,000,000 who are still at work” the statement said. “A further encouraging fact is that $500,= 000,000 is now available about the, country in the form of bonds already. issued or appropriated by the state, county and municipal governments for public works: Undoubtedly this will be organized intelligently.” Positive signs of business recovery have been furnished by the commis- sioner of labor statistics, Secre‘:ry Davis declared, adding: Signs of Recovery “Some of these signs have an aspect of their own. I put them out for others to interpret as they please. One must have his head very much in the air, these days, not to nofice the growing prevalence of silk hosiery and the use of silks in general.” “A stir was caused all over the country” the statement said “when Senator McCormick called for the ac- tual figures on current unemployment and these figures, as supplied by the bureau of labor statistics in the de- partment of labor were found to be 5,735,000. Those figures stand as the best estimate available, but they need to. be read in relation to the sit- tuation of seven years ago, as well as in the light of the facts of today. Better Than in 1914 “Take this fact, for instance. In 1920 the number of persons in the United States employed as wage earn- ers or working for someone other thdn themselves reached the total of U.
