Make Lay off Unnecessary in Seasonal Occupations , By GEORGE II. DERN ! Governor, State of Utah , , ...'. Employment is the most accurate index of the economic situa-tion. When the workmen of a community are all employed the ec-onomic situation is good. When large numbers of them are unem-ployed the economic situation is bad. When there are no idle men it indicates that the mines, mills, fac-tor-and railroads are busy and that new construction work is in progress. When men walk the streets looking for jobs it shows that business "is depreed and time are hard. In order to be just, we must' remember that employers do not lay off their men just to be m,an. Every owner of a factory or a mine or any other industry likes to run his plant full blast ' The larger his operations, the more money he makes. If he can only sell his product he is happy when he employ the greatest num-ber of men ; and when he lays off his force he is unhappy, for it shows that his business is not prosperous. This is no consolation to a workman out of a job, with a hungry family. Unemployment is the disgrace of our civilization. So long as a man who is able, ready and willing to work cannot get bread for him-- self, his wife and his children we ought not to brag about our won-derful industrial system, our prosperity and our fortunatb working class. We have a lot of sirperpatriots who are quick to denounce those who preach radical doctrines, but rmain cold and indifferent when they are told that thousands of their fellow Americans are being de-nied the necessaries of life. The situation, however, is changing. Leaders of industry used to fight bitterly against the efforts of organized labor to get higher wages. It was the law of business to keep wages as low as possible, and the unemployment of labor did not worry the industrialists. But by and by they discovered a truth that labor leaders had been preach-ing for many years; namely, that a man who gets low wages cannot buy much, and a man who gets no wages can buy nothing at all. The workingmen and the fanners constitute the bulk of our pop-ulation ; and when they are prosperous enough to buy food, clothing, automobile, radios, and the thousand and one things that men and women can and will buy when they are employed, the industrial plants have a great markel for their products and are therefore pros-perous. In other words, high wages and regular employment mean prosperity for all. , For this reason, business men and manufacturers are alarmed ov-er unemployment and are seeking means to overcome it. With labor and capital both attracking the problems in a spirit of mutual inter-est, it is to be hoped that progress will be made. We shall probably he disappointed if We expect soineneto dig- - cover a magic panacea for unemployment. No doubt a great many different things will have to be done in order to get results. One of these is to reduce the amount of seasonal employment. We have had the idea that, in a climate like' ours, it is impossible to build houses, business bloeks, roads or bridges in the Winter; so we jam all this work into the Summer season. And when cold weath-er comes the men are laid off for four or five months. During that period of enforced idleness the workmen have to live on what they saved out of their summer wages, if tfliey were thrifty enough to save anything. If they were not thrifty, they become ob-jects of charity, and hence a burd.cn on the community. Assuming that they are thrifty, they have to earn enough in eight months to keep them twelve months. That means higher wages, and hence more costly buildings. Suppose, for example, a man needs $2,000 a year to keep himself and his family. If he has to earn it in eight months he must have a alary of $250 a month. If he could work twelve months, he would only need to make $167 a month. This would reduce the labor cost of a new house one-thir- and would make it possible for more people to own their own homes. . One reason why the price of coal is so high is that the miners have so much idle time. If, instead of working two or three days a week they could work every day, lhey could afford to mine coal at a lower rate per ton, and we who burn coal would be buying it at a cheaper price. Investigation has proved that it is a mistaken notion that con-traction work cannot be carried on in the Winder months. In so mild a climate as we have in Utah, there is much outdoor work that can be done as well and as cheaply in the, Winter, as in the Summer. Not only' for humanitarian reasons, but, for business reasons as well, we ought to eneourage Winter construction work. Every plant has special repairs and overheating that must be done sometime. Why not make it a rule to do this kind of work in the Winter rather thn in the Summer4 Laying off men in the Winter is cruel, and should not be done if it can possibly be avoided. HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL SEASON OPENS "They're Off," for Tooele to-morrow night, Jan. 10, and many of the fans will accompany Coach McMullin and his athletics around the mountain to root for the local youngsters Mho have high hopes of turning the eyes of the high school fans of the state toward Bingham again.

"AUNT LUCIA TO BE PRESENTED The Woman 's club reports that the cast and everything is in readiness for the big production "Aunt Lucia" for Thursday and Friday nights at Princess thea-tre. This college show is one of the greatest amateur productions ever staged throughout the coun-try and Canada and has played to packed houses and in hundreds and hundreds of towns. The production is a story of college life, the scene i laid in the drawing room of a fraternity house. Leading character, Jerry Wat-son, a college boy masquerading s '.' AunUJUicia" played by Geo. Dahlstrom is mistaken for ihe real Aunt Lucia, an old maid from Florida and it is around this situ-ation that all the fun revolves. Dick and George, two college boys, supports Jerry. There are a number of old men such as the Butter and Egg Man, the widow-er Mr. Collins and the Bachelor Professor who propose to the fake Aunt and these' are all a riot of fun. Jerry in the disguise of be-ing the old lady makes love to the other fellow'Ss girls and then al-most looses his own. He carries out his part until the end of the show when the real old maid Lucia Wakefield sends the col-lege a lot of money and a tele-gram, saying she couldn't be pre-sent. Then Jerry confesses his deceit and the Professor who had proposed to him is very mad but the Dean persuades him to for-give Jerry and, to marry her, which he does. The show has a number of special features that we have already described to you, nich as the Flapper Chorus of 28 business men, who are already to dress in their costumes to strul their stuff, the 20 business men who are to sing in the old time College Glee Club, 100 babies who are to take part in the Baby page-ant and 25 girl's choruses in pret-ty costumes who will present the specialties of the show. "Aunt Lucia" promises to give an eve-ning of fun, which will make you forget your troubles and laugh. Don't fail to get your tickets. Salt Lake Tabernacle mi Cfipir to k t Used in Film Version of "CoriantGn' : An Interview with David A. Smith, President of the Choir, By Dr. M. Markna Some time in January a produc-ers syndicate will commence film-ing "Corianton," the play whose author, O. U. Dean, was hailed by literary critics as the American Shakespeare, and of whom one of ' the critics said he had Shakespeare. The largest part of the filming , will be done is the widely known ' De Forrest Sluiiios in Long Island, but one part will necessarily have to be done in Salt Lake City, be- -' , cause the world-famo- Tabernacle Organ and the great Tabernacle Choir will be used in the sound synchronization of the film. , ' The play, its story, its history, and its success are common knowl- -j edge. The story of the play is tak-en from the Book of Mormon, fre-quently end erroneously called "The Mormon liible." In addition to being a religious document the Book of Mormon is, in some re-spects, a history, proven by archae-ological discoveries, the latest one of which is that ancient city, the remains of which, have been ob--" . served from the air by Colonel Lindbergh in his recent flight over Central America jungles. Such re-mains are expected to shed con--- -. sidcrable light on the American of. about half a thousand years before the Christian era. How did it come about that the presidency of the "Mormon" church, permitted the use of the great organ and the widely reputed choir, built and organized primar-ily for sacred and religious pur poses, in so secular an undertake ing as a "movie?" This question caused me to seek an authoritative , answer. The logical man to give that answer is David A. Jmith, the president of the Tabernacle Choir. An interview was requested, and graciously granted. To the inquiry as to the reason for granting (hat great and valu-able privilege, Mr. Smith, with a smile on his lips and a swift glance in the direction of the publicity manager present at the interview, answered, "Persuasion." Then quickly changing the course of his thought from humorous to serious, Mr. Smith immediately continued. "The church has always been in-terested in the play "Corianton," because its story is taken from the Book of Mormon. On the stage the subject is visualized and, there-fore, more easily remembered. If seen by many it might 'give to many the incentive to want to know more about ancient America, that America which Is dealt with in the Book of Mormon, and which is of unusual interest and great im-portance to American archaeolo-gists. Entirely aside from relig-ious angles, the Book of Mormon gives of ancient America a story that has been proven and authenti-cated by many archaeological dis-coveries of our time. Students arc working on the remains of the language spoken by the Americans of thousands of years ago, and are rummaging among old bits of pre-historic writings, digging out the , meanings of hieroglyphics they find, and restoring to something like grammatical order the various scraps of words and phrases. One day the meanings of buildings, carvings, sign writings and art rcl-- ics will be fitted together like piec-es of a puzzle and everybody will J be able to read the story of Amer-- . ica from centuries before Christ down to Columbus." "Is the interest in those things . I really of so general a nature?" was the next question. The answer was, "If it is not, we want to make it so. That it docs not confine it-self to just a few is amply and con-- - vincingly proven by the fact that so many people visit our tabernacle grounds and the organ recitals which we give in the tabernacle daily, with the exception .of Sun-days. We have statistics showing that from a quarter to a half mi-llion people annually visit the re- - citals. On account of this manifest interest we have made the elevat-ing music of that world-famou- s organ accessible to larger numbers and wider circles by permittijig, on two occasions, the Victor Talking ' Machine Company to make records of the choir and organ. Lately we have, made the instrumental and vocal music of organ and choir still more accessible to musk lovers in general by having it broadcast over the radio. t "Does it have effect? Letters, after letters are coming to this of-fice expressing thanks and apprec-iation for-- the "rare musical 'treat. . One letter just received here comes from a ranger deep in Canadian forests, a hundred or more miles away from civilization. This good ranger is thanking us for bringing high class music into his recesses of the forest so far away frem con-tact with civilization. ? "The tabernacle' choir is known all over the United States not only through phonograph records and , radio broadcasting but also through concerts which the choir in years past has given in several large cities of the United States. Amoug the citiea visited was Washington, D.C. President Taft was unable to attend the concert on account ' of previous engagements, and after the choir had performed, Senator ' Reed Smoot came to the director, telling him that the president would like to hear the choir., and inviting us to sing that night in the White House. We went. We . were taken to the spacious east . room where the president, cabinet members, senators and members of the diplomatic corps were assemb- - ' led to hear us. It had been agreed that we sing two numbers, and af-ter having finished them the presi-dent asked whether we would not do him the avor of singing some more. Of course, we did. The , next morning' the papers carried large streamers, 'President and Diplomatic Corps Listen to Mor-mon Choir,' and critics paid high compliments to the singers. That day we had to sing in Richmond, Virginia, where the clergy of other denominations had conducted a regular campaign against us, paint-ing Mormons as black as they could, and warning people not to attend the concert, but on account of these headlines and reports we had a crowded house and the most enthusiastic audience." - Upon further questioning, Mr, Smith informed the writer that the church is maintaining the musical organization with three organists, ' two choristers, and about 300 hundred voices in the choir. C Lund will direct the choir when singing for synchronization, and Tracy Y. Cannon will be at the console. The two men need no introduction to musicians and mus-ic enthusiasts in our country, or other countries. Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Knudsen had as their guests during the holidays, her parents Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Christensen and Dr. and Mrs. R, Rigby of Fairview, Utah. Members of the L. T. B. club motored to Salt Lake Wednesday of last week where they were en-tertained by Mrs. William Keim. Prizes at bridge were won by Mrs. Mark Hansen and Mrs. Charles Sullcnger.
