A Stupendous Army.
Never in the history of any great!
municipality has such a stupendous
army of unemployed been collected
at one time, according to the eco-
nomic statiscians who have com-
plied the above figures, and others,
for the information of the legislators
at Albany.
The number of families applying
for assistance to the Association for
Improving the Condition of the Poor
for the last six months is fifty pér
cent. more than for the corresponding
months of a VYear ago in three
months, November, December and
Jannary, 900 able-bodied men, will-
ing and anxious for work, came to
this society for aid. The year pre-
vious only nineteen such requests
were received.
Savings banks in the poorer section
of the city report extraordinary
drafts in recent months. The actu-
ary of one of the largest insurance
companies says:
Raise Cash on Policies,
“As compared with the season of
1907-1908, the loams for the season
of 1908-1900 have increased thus far
over seventy per cent, while the num-
ber of lapsed policies increased to
more than fifty per cent. The above
figures speak for themselves, and
prove conclusively that the holders
of smaller policies are terribly af-
fected by the present hard times’
This condition is general among in-
surance companies.

“When a city's wardens turn out
2700 prisoners before their terme
have expired to make room for incom.

demands are made on the city’s insti
tutions.”
Professor John Bates, of Columbia
University, in suggesting a remedy
for the economic ill, says:
“Loss of employment by large bod.
fes of men personally fit is due to
mal-ad justment, since there is never
a time when there is not within the
linsits of soclety to which these men
belong a need of their labor and a
chance to dispose of its produce. The
trouble would now be relieved by §
migration from populous centres te
the country.’
Perey Alden, M. P., in "The Un
employed,” says: “There is a rapidly
growing feeling that the community
has a responsibility for t%e unem-
ployed and must discharge that re.
sponsibility, not by inflicting paint
and penalties upon the genuine work.
