Out ot 12 nrtlcleB on labor questions In
the current magazines eight touch upon tho
prublem of unemployment. They reflect two
methods of meeting thl9 question, olio cura
tlvo nnd tho other preventive. Tho tone of
these articles la significant of tho Koncrnl
change In our attitude toward social prob
lems. There Is no attempt to patronize nny
ono for being out of a Job. Itnther. tho ro
Bponslblllty for tho HioubaihIh who really
want work nnd cannot get It la laid tit tho
door of tho employer nnd of society ; on
tho employer for not regulating his business
so na to cqunllzo tha amount of work be
tween tho busy nnd tho slack season nnd
organizing nnd operating his plant moro In
telligently; nnd on society for not providing
vocational education, public employment ex
changes, etc. Briefly, these articles empha
size the worklngmnn's right to work.
Porhaps a quotation from n speech by Rob
ert G. Valentino, Industrial Counselor of
Boston, best epitomizes this new construc
tive attitude toward unemployment. Mr.
Valentino said (1) :
Mncgregor, In his "Evolution of Industry,"
points out that our standards of Industry are
mcdlevnl as compared with our standards of
law nnd of cIvIch, Ho tcllH how, In tho mid
dle of tho 18th century, n nn-nccount Eng
lishman got loit In tho streets of Constanti
nople, nnd Lord Pnlmerston threatened to
send tho wholo English licet to dig him up.
However useless tho man himself was ns a
citizen, ho nevertheless stood for tho sacred
right of an English subject to bo safe any
whero In tho world. And out of tho punch
of this Incident as showing tho rights that
tho tndlvldunl would have In a properly so
cialized society. Mncgregor draws this won
derful statement:
"Not till tho enso of John Brown, unem
ployed, iirouflpR the same social anger as does
tho case of this no-account Englishman lost
in tho dives of Constantinople, or tho case of
Captain Dreyfus, wrongly condemned; not
till thon will tho standards of Industry bo on
a lovel with tho standards of civics nnd law."
Tho most comprehenslvo report on the sub
ject Is by John B. Androws, secretary of tho
America Association for Labor Legislation,
published as a special supplement to tho New
Republic (2). It advocates "a hill looking to
tho establishment of a national system of
unemployment exchanges, introduced In Con
gress last April by Representative Murdock,
of Kansas." Action on this hill has been
deferred pending a report on tho subject by
tho United States Commission on Industrial
Relations. Mr. Andrews writes:
Tho main opposition has come from tho
side of organized labor, which hns apparently
feared control of tho system by tho employ
ing class. "Bewnro of tho Greeks when thoy
como bringing gifts," warned President J. II.
Walker, of tho Illinois State Federation of
Labor, at the New York conference on un
employment. And ho continued, "You know
wo have been double-crossed nnd deluded so
often that when anything Is hold out to us
tho first thing wo look for Is to boo whero
Wo nro going to get tho worst of It; nnd ono
of tho first things that enmo to my mind
was that It was posslhlo that theso well
intentioned peoplo might organize tho labor
exchango buronus In such a way that tho
entire unemployed army would bo mobilized,
and that the employers would havo such ac
cess to It ns to be enabled to uso It at any
point to 'break down tho things that tho or
ganized workers of tho country have estab
lished by fighting hard and long."
Carnegie on ITard Times
Without going Into causes or remedies, Mr.
Carncglo makes interesting references to tho
provalonco of unemployment, In nn inter
view ho gavo roccntly to Mr. Babson, the
statistician nnd financial writer (3):
"Why," Mr. Carneglo said, "I cannot re
member when I havo been so beset with re
quests to help tho unemployed. In ono mall
delivery today wero 4D roquests for help. For
somo tlmo now theso requests havo been
averaging about a hundred a day; before tho
war tho average was not moro than 10 or 20
a day." "Why, Mr. Babson, tho last man in
this room before you ramo was Soth Low,
endeavoring to rnlso $600,000 for tho unem
ployed In tho city of Now York nlono. Think
what tho conditions must be throughout tho
nation ns n wholo nnd yet tho newspapers
talk about tho good times!
"Mr. Babson, I have had long experlenco
and havo seen much of business. "When peo
plo aro decreasing their expenditures and
tho Government Is Increasing the taxes there
nro no good times In sight. There will bo
less money spent In Now York this winter
than at any tlmo slnco tho panicky years of
1893-97."
An article by a Now York social worker,
William P. Capes, In tho December North
American Review (4) rnlsed a distinction be
tween tho unemployed nnd tho unemploy
able, which Is fundamental In approaching
the problem:
"Within tho last 13 months moro considera
tion has been given to tho need of men but
of work by moro Individuals and organiza
tions and moro has been accomplished than
in some time. Tho public Is beginning to
appreciate the fallacy of bringing about per
manent improvement by relying upon pallia
tive measures, such as bread lines, soup
kltchons and other means of temporarily less
ening dlatrcsa.
How many of the unemployed nro unem
ployable? By segregating tho unemployable
bo that wo can caro for them and at the same
tlmo endeavor to rehabilitate them, wo should
make easier tho task of finding employment
rnr nnd of keening employed tho capable man
who wants to work. We shall then be able
to accomplish moro through tha organiza
tion of the labor market, the establishment of
labor exchanges and the regularlzatton of
business.
An editorial in Collier's Is brief and to the
point (6):
Men out of work drift Into our big cities
as casually and normally as water drains
downhill, It's the last place they ought to
come, but that la what they do. The prob
lem of unemployment means that men hava
como to look at tho work of a community
as ft matter of making salable goods, rather
than as a matter of serving the community's
life The way out Is to get the mon in im
mediate economic authority to 'plan for
spreading work through the entire year, and
., riiHtrihutlna- slack time Instead ot lump
ing it, so that our Industries will be more
continuous. If this can bo dono a vast deal
' of unemployment will disappear for good.

through the appointment ot the Mayor's
Committee on Employment, headed by the
chairman of the United States Steel Cor
poration. That employers are making earnest efforts
to regularise their work is attested by the
articles In Ida Tarbell's "Golden Rule" se
ries.. She describes some of the encouraging
results achieved by Individual employers,
notably, some of the scientific management

how, nrtcr HUihdlng mftn in lino that they
may bo knocked to pieces, they promptly and

Doscrtblnr; tho second conference on un

It marked n decided ndvanco over the first,

In good conservatlvo contrast to nil this
concern for tho wdrklngman stands tho quo
tation from James J. Hill, which, Inclosed In
a black "box," dominates tha editorial page
of this week's Leslie's (8):
Capltnl must be considered as well as labor.
When n plant ceases to bo remunerative It
must bo shut down. No mlraeie will keep It
running Indefinitely nt a loss. But then the
employe Is out of work. Ho sees not far
ahead tho prospect of suffering for himself
and his fntnlly. Even If he Is nblo to por
suado somo crack-brained enthusiast or somo
coldly selfish polltlclnn to ,'oto him a sup
port nt tho public exponso, under compulsion
of law, neither can that last forovor. Sooner
or later till outsldo resources nro exhausted.
Back of both, as behind most of the great
movements nnd achievements of the race,
stands tho stern nnd compelling figure ot
death, theli flnal umplro.
