THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLANP, JULY 19. 1914. 13 PROBLEM BE OF IDLE CONSIDERED Aim Is to Find Amelioration for Situation Without Re course to Charity. DR. O'HARA WILL ASSIST frtadr of Condition AVill Be 3Iade by Committee In Hopes of Being Able to EJ reset Changes So as -to Reduce Fluctuations. With the Idea of arriving at a prac tical solution of the problem or un employment as it presented itself in vnrtianA ami other cities laat Winter, a committee has been formed, to be known as the Oregon oommlttee on seasonal unemployment and to serve as the Oregon section of ths American Association for labor legislation. Tho particular work that the com mittee will take up. and has started on. will bo the eradication of seasonal unemployment without resorting to charity, which was found necessary last Winter. The committee Is composed of the following: Kev. Edwin V. O'Hara, chairman of the Industrial Welfare Commission, as chairman: Governor West, whose representative will be Claude C McColloch. of Portland: Will lam L Brewster. City Commissioner of Publto Affairs: George M. Cornwall, publisher of the Tlmberman; A. H. Harris, editor of the Portland Labor Ptoss: G. B. Hegardt, engineer of the Portland Dock Commission: Rufus Holman. County Commissioner; Dan J. Malarkey. president of the State Senate; p H Ransom, of the board of gov ernors of the Portland Commercial Club; Isaao Swett. representing the Oregon Clvto League; F. O. Young, professor of economics. University of Oregon, and Caroline J. Gleason, sec retary of the Industrial Welfare Com mission, who will act as secretary of the committee. . Father O'Hara' Brother Help. Working with the committee will be Dr Frank O'Hara, brother of Father O'Hara and professor of economics at the Cathollo University of America, Washington, D. C who will represent the American Association for Labor Legislation. Dr. OHara arrived in Portland several days ago. and Is or ganizing the work which the committee expects to do. The American Association for Labor Legislation held a convention in New York last Winter, at which a survey of the labor situation was made and a programme was devised by which It Is hoped to eradicate unemployment without resorting to charity. "Unemployment may be divided Into two classes," said Dr. O'Hara yester day," perlodlo unemployment due to industrial depression, and seasonal un employment, due to ollmatlo conditions and the established custom of prose cuting certain kinds of work at cer tain seasons of the year." The Oregon oommlttee is considering to what extent unemployment In this state Is due to the seasonal character of publlo work, with the idea of de termining how part of this work could be changed to other seasons without economic loss. G. A. Hegardt is chair man of a subcommittee of engineers that is working on this matter. A subcommittee will be formed from the Central Labor Council and one rep resenting the timber Interests of the state to study and report on the par ticular phases of the problem that each la best qualified to consider. Solatia. Hoped For. After the general committee has pro cured all the Information possible it will be prepared to make a number of suggestions pertinent to the better distribution of labor opportunity throughout the year. "Regularly every Winter all of the larger cities of the country and many of the smaller ones find themselves face to face with the problem of what to do with the unemployed." said Dr. OHara. "During the two or three months that tbe situation is acute there is a general disposition to re sort to radical remedies, but when the crisis is past the problem Is usually dismissed until it forces itself upon our notice In tbe succeeding Winter. It in only In recent years that any care ful study of the facta of unemployment has been made and the conclusions from the facts are scanty enough. Still a beginning has been made and with the Increased attention which it is now re ceiving, progress may be expected In the sear future." "Aside from the more or less regular ly recurring years of industrial de pression when men are thrown out of work in large numbers because of a general stoppage of Industry." be con tinued, "there are in nearly every occu pation seasons when tbVs demand for -labor is relatively light. The farmers' seed time and harvest and period of en forced idleness are fixed for him by circumstances over which he has very little control. A similar situation ex ists in many other callings. Ceaau Shows Changes. "According to the 1910 census In a Hst of tl Industries employing ever SO, 00 men In the State of Oregon la 1901 only three Industries, and these employ ing together only IT men, employed the maximum number of men In January. These 41 industries, practically all of the manufacturing Industries of Ore gon, employed in September of that year 10.971 wage-earners and in Janu ary of the same year only 23.854. "Thus, assuming the conditions of the census year to have been normal," said Dr. O'Hara, "there are normally more than 7000 men employed In Indus try in Oregon who are out of employ ment In January. Adding to these figures the considerable number of workers set free in Oregon by agricul ture and mining. It is not difficult to explain the existence of the large army of the unemployed which congregates in Portland and other cities In the Winter time. "To a certain extent industries are working at full capacity in other states when they are partly closed down in Oregon, and this furnishes some relief. Thus, in the census year 4000 more men were employed in Oregon in logging camps and sawmills In June than in January. In the same year in Massa chusetts there were 1000 more men em. ployed in the same industry In January than in June. Likewise to a certain extent -there Is a dovetailing of one occupation with another. But the op portunities of transferring from one position to another are far from suf ficient to eliminate the inequality in the labor market from month to month. November Baaaer Month. -Taking the United 6tates as a whole the greatest number of persona were employed in all manufacturing Indus tries in the month of NovemDer. In January the number employed was only S8 per cent of the number employed In November. This does not mean that only 11 per cent of the employable In manufacturing Idustrles were unem ployed in January. 1909. The percentage was much larger, since there is a con siderable arjay ot unemployed erca la KIPLING GETS "IN BAD WITH GLOBE TROTTERS Jacob Gray Kamm and Friends, Who Toured World, Much Disappointed With Mandalay.

Mr. Kamm had an attack of typhoid fever while on the Red Sea, Of the event he said: "They put me down in cabin with a German boy who was 11L He couldn't speak a word of Eng lish and I could only count 10 in Ger man.

Together the young men told of the l..n .Mn-rv nt NnrwaV. of the lira Q .i.'.. j ... . , glaciers flowing between grain fields; of the interesting hours spent in Mu nich ami Vienna; ot me .muy ods of the cabdrivers everywhere. In Java they say that the Dutch Influence has been a very fine thing for the natives. They were most enthusiastio In their praise of Java. Crown Prince Is Met. Among the celebrities the Americans met were the Crown Prince of 81am and Junka Yosuf. son of the Sultan of Kedoh, who entertained them hospitably.- Slam is. they agree, hard to get to and hard to get away from. They got into a storm on the trip there. The architecture of the place, being unusu ally varied, interested the travelers. "The Dowager Empress had Just died when we got to Japan," said Mr. Kamm. "and so everything was very tame there. In Honolulu we took a bunga low near the beach and bached and had the biggest rest of our trip." Hero Mr. Perce interrupted. You mean we rested at first till we got that automobile, then we started out to ex plore the island and some of those roads weren't at all restful." In every country the travelers met Americans. In every country they found that English was spoken and they had no difficulty in making their wants known. The Chinese, they say, are the greatest joy riders. They save up for years to take the family out in a ma chine on New Year and they certainly celebrate then. Autos Found Everywhere. "Right here," suggested one of the young men. "let's register our opinion about the taxi service. All over Europe It is so very much cheaper than here. We paid about 10 cents a mile for the best service. By the way. we saw autos everywhere we went, in tne otraits Settlement we struck one village where there were 15 white people and nine machines. In all places where the Americans are settled, the sanitary conditions were found to be excellent. The boys both consider that the people of the Philippines are dissatisfied and that the policy of the Administration is not appreciated there. ' After all their wandering about the globe, after being entertained hospit ably everywhere, they both say they .r-i oiari tn ba back and agree that there is no place like the U. S.

Important Announcement We take pleasure in announcing to our friends in Portland and vicinity, that after patiently waiting for tho development and production of what Is, in our opinion, the correct type of small, light and economical car, we have finally found our ideal in the 1915 JEFFERY This we have added to our line for the future as a fitting con sort to the Packard, which we have sold in Portland, the past five years, and the Detroit Electric, both of which we will continue to represent as before. In this new light car, produced by one of the oldest, strongest and most reliable manufacturers in America, nothing has been epared to provide the best in mechanism, comfort, luxury and appearance. It has not been built to meet a price condition but only the best design, material and equipment have been consid ered. It is the quality car in its class. The 1915 JEFFERY will be fully described in the Saturday Evening Post of next Saturday, July 25. If vou are contemplating the purchase of a new car, it is to your advantage to wait and see the new JEFFERY, which we will have in Portland about September 1st. Frank C.
