Washington. Sept. 12. The object of
th unemployment conference which
Bocrctary Hoover is forming. Is to or
ganic on a national scale the task of
finding work for the Jobless and reliev
ing thoso for whom work cannot be
found. Usually in thp past this has
bon left to local committees and to
voluntary effort.

-Mr. Hoover's Plnns
Mr Hoover has two general ideas for
the relief of the unemployed One
is to divide up what vvrrk there is
among the workers -o that al' will have
employroent if onlv for n few ilajs a
week and with less earnings instead of
having some full emplojed and the
rest idle. This h would do bv the sys
tem of stnggcnil hours nnd the organ
izing of men into -hiftu.
Portietilnrh on the railroads wonld
VJr. Hoover like to see this done As
it is now when engineers are lnid off
on the railroads thev have to take the
place of firemen under an itgrernipnt I
with the unions The firemen displaced
are employed at the nnir .lower gride
and the lower classes of Inbor are.
bushed out of omplowncnt
Mr. Hoover would like to spp what
engineers' work there l divided up
among the engineers nnd so on through
the grade so that all would huve em
plo.vment, though for fewer liiv a
week.
There 'ire obvious difhi ulties in the
way of this plan iiirungements with
unions, inertia of emplovers and a cei -tain
amount of disorganization m
plants. The eashst vny is to lav off
the less efficiuut. Mr Hoover desires
to call emplojers together to persuade
them to take the more difficult but o
dally fairer way of dividing work up
rather than dismissing the superfluous
Would Start Public Work
Besides stnggprpd hours, Mr Hoover
wants to create jobs bj urging the be
ginning of necessarv public works.

M.. Hourgeols cited tho presence in

of the American piess as evidence of the
interest the United States hns In the

"I nm sure," he continued, "that the

will convince the Americans thnt the

Autumn Opening
in Full Swing
The Dort Autumn Opening is daily
attracting throngs of interested
visitors to our showrooms.
The entire new family of beautiful
Dorts, including the Sedan, Coupe,
Roadster, and Touring Car are
on exhibition.
In addition there is a cut-out chassis
and a lecturer sent from the factory
at Flint who will be here throughout
the week of the Autumn Opening.
These new model Dort cars with
their exquisitely distinctive body
lines are conceded to have estab
lished a new body vogue among
light, low-priced cars.
They are cars that you can take a
genuine pride in owning because
they rank in beauty with cars of
costly price.
From the practical side of an auto
mobile investment the new Dort is
equally worthy of your preference.
It is a staunchly built car with a rep
utation among 100,000 owners for
durability and low operative cost.
The design and construction is so
simple and accessible that you
rarely need to give the Dort me
chanical attention and when that
does become desirable it takes but
little time and is very inexpensive.
Come and bring your friends to the
exhibition. We are open evenings.
