NEW TORK. Dec 7. Unemployment
la tne greatest dancer confronting the
United State durlnr the next fqur
months, the labor reconstruction con
ference of the Academy of Political
Science was told at ita meeting- here
today by Nathan A. Smyth. Assistant
Director-General of the United States
Employment Service.
Thousands of soldiers are being- dis
charred daily, he said, at the begrtnnins;
of J inter, when outdoor Jobs are few;
wartime pianta are oeina ciosea ne
cause of - Army cancellations of con
tract, and manufacturers are hesitant
In employing more labor because of
uncertainties of taxation, nigh prices
of materials, and "timidity of credit.
Eventually, Mr. Smyth said, the prob
Ira of placins America's soldiers and
war workers will be solved through an
abnormally hiffh emigration of Eu
ropeans to their native lands, thi
probability that immigration will con
tlnue to be slight and especially by
co-operation of American, agencies In
connecting Jobless men with mantess
Jobs. Ha warned the members of the
conferences. however. that these
agencies could only enable men to find
open Jobs and could not create work.
SMIrs Flad Joke.
"Soldiers are) being discharged by the
thousands dally, on the basis of mili
tary units, with no reference to whether
or not they are ifow needed In in
dustry." said Mr. Smyth. "They are
being mustered out on a few days'
notice and given In money the cost of
transportation to their homes, free to
buy tickets where they please. Already
they are turning up In the cities, im
provident, 'broke, away from home,
without work, applicants for civilian
relief. Many others are unwilling to
undertake the 'day labor Jobs' whlrh
alone they can find. There is every
prospect that unless remedial measures
are promptly taken the sight of
stranded, moneyless soldiers will be
common throughout the land.
"The great danger In the coming four
months la that there won't be Jobs
enough to go around; that unemploy
ment will come with attendant misery
and social unrest at a time when
anarchistic tendencies are contagious.
Satloaal Doty Folate Oat.
"The remedy of building public
works Is not available on a large scale
until Spring. The farms will not call
urgently for men until frost thaws out.
Chiefly must we look to our manufac
turers to carry the burden. But they
are hesitant. Taxes' are not yet deter
mined. The cost of money Is high and
credit timid for awhile. The prices of
raw material and labor are high. The
producer hopes they will fall, and
manifests a tendency to wait till they
do. To meet each of these deterrent
features la an Immediate National
task."
Mr. Smyth nrged that the manufac
turer "get his wheels moving with the
utmost speed, even If there be a re
mote chance of lower costs."
A resolution recommending to the
Government that drafted men should
be sent back to their local boarda in
connection with the country's re-employment
problem was adopted today
by the United Council of re-employment.

PENTJTETON. Or.. Dec 7. (Special.)
-Go marked has been the tendency re
cently on the part of farmers to move
to town and make the city their Win
ter home that the. Pendleton Commer
cial Association is giving serious at
tention to means for encouraging build
ing to relieve the house shortage here.
This tendency on the part of farmers
to establish city residences has en
couraged the association to look for
ward to a "back-to-the-town move
ment. The farmers have prospered dur
ing the past few years and th'e auto
mobile has made It possible for them to
maintain homes in Pendleton and man
age their ranches even in the busy

Philadelphia Bourse has appealed to the

in common with every other commer

campaign to bring about a privately

through the enactment of measures
which wold enable It to successfully
compete with the ships of foreign na
tions when the abnormal conditions re
sulting from the war have been re
moved. In addition to calling the attention of
the Portland body to Its resoltions. the
Bourse has alsov appealed to every
member of the Senate and House at
Washington and the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States with the
view of obtaining some concerted ac
tion regarding the future operation of
American ships. The pniiaaeipnia
Bourse Is opposed to government own

appeal to the commercial organiza

latter also place themselves on record
as against such policy.
The Bourse urges the revision -or.

placed on an equal footing, it suggests
the calling of an international confer

purpose of adopting uniform shipping
rules and regulations, unless sucn
steps are taken, the Bourse contends.
American ships cannot hope to compete
