Show I UTAH STATESMAN APRIL 27, 1928. President Signs Senator King's Bear River Bird Refuge Bill UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES GIVEN BY SECRETARY OF LABOR DAVIS CONVENIENT ARE HADE BY SHERIFF Instructions Ignored When Attorneys Hind in Advertising Matter Intended for the Utah Statesman Said to Have Evaded E saential Facta by Uaing Phrase "Shrinkage In Employment" J. D. Stevens. Who Cast atpartment of labor to paint as tractive a picture aa possible, and also for the fact that Secretary Davis' report on unemployment made to the senate, la actually misleading. It I apparent that there 1s a very serious unemployment by situation, and this Is borneof out Labor Federation American an survey and from other and. therefore unprejudiced and reliable sources. In his unemployment report to says the senate. Secretary Davis commisthat Ethelbert Stewart, who consioner of labor statistics, ducted the unemployment survey, the actual numreported that ber now out of work la 1,174.019. As a matter of fact. Mr. Stewart made no such report. Whnt ha did report was that there waa a from "shrinkage" In employment 102$ to January, 1922. of 1,174.050 workers. Thus. Secretary Davis takes no account of 1115 unemployment. whatever. No figures are given in the report on unemployment In 1025. Estimates on unemployment In that year vary from one million to twice that number and more, and thua the "shrinkage" In employment from 1125 to 2S must be added to whatevei employment there was In the for-as mer year. It will thus be seen, Commissioner HI e wart's report to Secretary Davis shows, that the total number of unemployed now is very much greater than the 1,174,-05- 0 Ur. Davis admits are Idle. The serious situation among wags earners la Indicated by results of a survey made by the American Federation of Labor. This shows that during January and February of this year, the number of union wage earners Idle wsa II per cent. There are approximately 1,100.000 wage earners In the country affiliated with the A F. of I Applying the percentage of unemployment. II par cent, approximately 100,000 of them era Idle at this time. It is generally known that not only are there a great many mors - than union workers, for instance, the unskilled laborers are not In tha unions but also that unemployment Is always greater among non union than union men.- Thus a very serious situation Is reflected, and It Is having Its effect In Increasing numbers of failures by smaller banks and mercantile houses, and through decreased buying power Is In a large measure responsible for the fact that so many of the manufacturing plants of the company operated without profit last year. Prest Wm-- Green, of the A. F. of L, commenting on the unemployment survey made by the federation. said unemployment la still extraordinarily high in eastern dtlw, For Instance, the survey showed fa Baltimore 41 per cent of the union wags earners are out of Jobs. In New York City, the percentage Idle is 24. In Buffalo 27 per cent pro idle. Unemployment ffcores for other representative cities Include: Boston SO, per cent; 14 : Atlanta. 10; Omaha. STSiMd 0; St. Louis, IS; Philadelphia, Si; Denven 21; Ban Francisco. 14; Freed Sinclair Beattie, II Los Angeles 22. In the face of this serious situation, the Republican campaign orator who goes on the stump this year and prates of Coolidgo y will make himself a laughing stock. Vanishing prosperity and Teapot Dome and lr methoda of political financing are hardly subjects these campaign orators will cars to discuss. pros-pertl- Hays-Bln-cla- manager repair department, real estate firm.

Although ths presence of opinion opposing belief In hie chances for success must be admitted it Is at this time In th minority and leaders of tho major unit of the party art preparing for an Instructed delegation to the state convention on May 11th.

Almost a year ago a prominent attorney with offices In the Kesrn building filed with the sheriffs offices lom legal notices with ths request thst they be run In this paper. Several days later these notices appeared In a paper run hy ths 8EVENS organisation. Tho attorney In question went to tho sheriff and made n protest, but was assured thst it was merely n "mistake" and that it would not happen again. Shortly afterwards ths same thing happened again, and, upon protesting, ths lawyer was told for tho second .time that it was a mistake. Admit Paper. Thereupon th lawyer advised ths Statesman as to those transacas and tho sheriffs alibi to tions, that It was ell a mistake." The following day a Statesman reporter called at ths sheriffs office and asked 8heriff Patten to explain why the Statesman was being discriminated against to such an extent that legnl notice belonging to It, were persistently bring "hy given to the local SEVENS ems Ion ms-tske- ." organ. After much hemming and haw- ing tha sheriff changed his alibi from what ho had told tho lawyer. To th reporter he explained that ths reason tho Statesman had pot yet received any legal from his office, was that he hod prepared a list of all legal publications In tho city, and that the legale were to he handed out to each of these publications In turn, so that 11 would share equally. Since that time ths Utah Statesman. with the patience of Job, has awaited the time when Its turn would com for a legs! notice out of 'the office of Mr. Patten. As a matter of fact the Statesman did not seriously expect that would ever come. and It has NOT been disappointed. The Statesman felt at that time, that th sheriff waa handling ths troth with gloves" when he changed hla alibi.

For If he la so hopelessly Inefficient that h Is unable to properly handle as small a matter as legal notire, we dread to think of the condition In which the IMPORTANT affairs of his office must be. Meanwhile the Statesman continues to wait with the patience of Job, while legal advertising which properly belong to it. go to furnish 'patronage" for the organ of the SEVENS which.
