Men and women need work and need it badly. All our sympathy is with them. No one blames them for gathering in a place where prospective employers will be able to find them. There may be no harm in a man’s standing up to be seen by all to show how strong he is and able to work if fed and cared for properly. But this talk of “Selling men and women as they did in slavery times,” is all uonsense. A student, it is said, has offered to “sell himself” for a year in order to finish his educational course. It is an excellent ambition. But he is selling himself no more than are most men who make contracts to do a certain thing for a year in order to earn a certala amount of money. When a man signs a contract to work for $1,000 and “keep” he sells his ability or his strength, whichever the case may be, for a year. The law will compel him to keep his word it the contract is legal and binding, and the law will compel the employer to pay the money. There is nothing de- grading about the transaction until the “selling’ proposition is applied. In professional been a lot of talk pbout “buying” a player. It means merely that the player must render his services to cer- tain persons and to none others. The product of the pen of many a fiction writer is brought. He scils his pro- duct to one person or coiporation or firm only, and it is so stated in the contract. Nothing wrong or humiliat- ing about that. The newspapers upon tha words used by someone who wishes to becomn perhaps. That person offers to “sell” himself, seeking pity. The newspapers merely giving the news. The man offers to well his work—nothing more, nothing seizo spectacular, are lese.

The reports from those whose busi- ness it is to go about good deal among the poorer tenements are that they are in very bad condition. Perhaps the nailing a board here, putting in a pane of glass thefe or similar “little” jobs, would not be too far out of the ques- tion for a landlord to do—or—be it said in a whisper—for him to get it done by one of the “unemployed. The landlords are quicker to take precautions in the matter of fire pre- vention. The first prevention bureau in its report for the past month in S2 re-inspections, found that “excellent” conditions prevailed in 35 places, “Good” conditions in 24; “Fair” in fifteen and “Bad” in eight. It is doubtful if a committee vestigating health conditions or condo- tions of cleanliness would be able to make as good a report. Sometimes, in the poorer tenements, it seems hope- less to “cleap up” either for landlord or tenant. From all viewpoints it is a good time for the landlords to do their part and for the tenants to do theira Wwhich would be much easier after the tene- ment has been put in proper condition —and now is a good time to do it. in- GOOD SENSE SHOWN. Major Curran is apparently the nom- inee of the Republicans for Mayor of New York as shown by the vote at vesterday's primaries. It scems from this that good sense has returred to the great metropolis at least, and that the people in that city are weary of what has been called exactly the wrong sort of administra- tion. And when all is said and done the return of quiet, sane common scnse s what is needed the country over. It is nearer at hand than most con- servative people are willing to admit publicly, although in their hearts they thoroughly believe it is almost here. Litlle as residents of another city may know of the inside weaving of the political threada in that city, may be glad that a person of Mayor Hylan's type will have a1 an oppon=nt one whom the paople of the city, in perhaps the greatest numbers sve: ording their wishes at a primary of this sort, trust. and to whom they will give their eager support. ona “Arbuckle headline.

The ratio of unemployed to the total of work- ers today is thus less than the ratio of uncmployed to the total of work- crs in 1914, And by a wide margin. “The statement has been constant- Iy made, in the news and in the edi- torial columns of the newspapers, that the department of labor has re- ported 5,735,000 men as being out of work. The department of labor has reported no such thing. It did report that, according to the best es- timate that could be made there are 5,735,000 fewer men, women and children on the payrolls than ' there were in March, 1920. “There is a dif- ference with a distinction. It is very different matter from saying that there are 5,735,000 men unemployed. Not Al Bread Winners. “Nothing is to be gained by stick- ing our heads in the sand and ignor- ing the gravity of the present un- cmployment situation. Neither do we profit by distorting the facts and cxaggerating the figures estimated. lHere is one salient fact to be kept in mind—probably not more than a third of these 5,735,000 are the prin- cipal bread winners of the family. “Taking all the families of the United States there are on the aver- ge over two bread winners to every family. If one of these bread win- ners is unemployed, it seriously crip- ples but it does not necessarfly im- poverish the family. Mind you, I am not saying that there is not at this time considerable actual suffering among our people, nor that this win- ter may not bring more suffering un- less something intelligent and effective is done to relieve the situation. I am simply calling attention to the fact that while unemployment today is a grave matter, there are nevertheless about ten or 12 millions of our people at work. And comparatively few fam- ilies have had the only bread winners put out of a job. “Our problem here at home is all the harder to solve because it is not by any manner of means our problem alone. Unemployment is world-wide.” Govt. Doing Its Part. Discussing efforts to relieve situation Secretary Davis said the employment service of the de- partment of labor was doing all it could to place workers in positions. “During the harvest,” he explained, “it sent between 55,000 and 60,000 men to the farms and kept them mov- ing as the harvest season moved northward. “The employment service is at pres- ent taking care of the thrashing and corn cutting situation wherever ad- ditional men are needed for this pur- pose. the that Signs of Recovery. “Cotton and woolen goocs already show signs of recovery and there is scarcely a plant in the country turn- ing out silk hosiery that is not work- ing full or overtime. Silk fabrics are on the move. These things speak for themselves, and may be speaking the same language as the figures showing that more garages than houses have been built in recent months. Here is another fact with its own significance. Shoe factorics seem to be working for the most part on fancy high priced women'’s shoes. This may be account- ed for by the further fact that * men now out of the hardy form of em- ployment are not shoe buyers. The demand for these will come when the railroads and the factories are start- ed on a more going scale, when the more staple grades of shoes for men will come into larger demand. That cannot be long delayed. The situa- tion begins to brighten.

Chicago, Sept. 14.—Fating tha pos- sibility of an open shop in the Chicago building industry and spurred to ac- tion by refusal of Judge K. M. Landis, arbiter, to srant a wage decision hearing until they are at work, union men in the building industry here were coming back to work bers today. The unions voted last night to re- n at work and advised those who quit to return to the jobs they left. The carpenters have refused to ac- cept the Landis award which included a cut in wages for them from $1.25 to $1 an hour and the plumbers also vot- ed last night to refuse to abide by tha arbitration ruling. Practically all other unions voted to go back to work.
