TIMES STEADILY IMPROVING President Unemployment Conference Is Seeking "for Way of Controlling the Business Cycle and Mitigating Seasonal Unemployment Several Proposals for Stabilizing Employment Are Receiving Consideration-Busin- ess Men Must Study. By EDWARD EYRE HUNT, Secretary, President Harding's Conference on Unemployment. What is the business cycle? What is seasonal unemployment? Anyway, as far as the worker in the shop or on the farm is concerned where does either of them come in? Of late we have been hearing a very great deal about these things. Somehow or other, the man in the street has them fixed In his mind as concerned with the recent industrial crisis and the wave of unemployment which has swept over the country the last year. We all know that President Harding called a conference last autumn to deal with the vast problem of unemployment, and that it left a standing committee, upon adjournment, to carry out Its recommendations. Among other things these recommendations called for a study of methods for controlling the business cycle and mitigating seasonal unemployment. By the business cycle we mean that recurring process of booms and slumps which affects our Industry and our business directly, and our agriculture so-call- 1 The Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad Company ' Office of the President A laifge number of shop forces of this company have left our employ as a protest against the decisions of the United States Railroad Labor Board, Which was created by an Act of Congress fpr the purpose of settling disputes between railroads isand their employees.

By seasonal unemployment we mean that absence of work during certain fixed periods of the year because of the weather or crops or natural conditions, over which men have no control. Business is improving. Times are better. But that is not enough. Business must continue to improve and in hundreds of offices today, business men are sitting down and trying to figure out how to maintain the increase in their business that has started, without going through the usual summer slump which will soon be due. This slump is d yearly proposition. The business cycle is longer In its period. In the past 20 years we have had five business slumps. Things were dull in 1903; there was a depression In 1904 ; improvement in depression In 1905; boom in 1906-07-; 1909-10- ; a minor deIn 1908; activity in 1911; gain again in 1912-1- 3 pression ; depression in 1913-1- 4 ; improvement in 1915 ; uncertainty in early 1916; then the war boom. Interrupted after the armistice, 1918-1- 9 ; then the post-wa- r boom, and finally the depression of 1921. How are we going to make such periods more even that is, take something off the top of the booms and fill It In the troughs of the depressions? The standing committee of the Presidents unemployment conference Is trying to answer that question. A subcommittee has been appointed. Owen D. Young of New York, vice president of the General Electric company, is chairman, and with him are Clarence Mott Wooley, Detroit; Joseph H. Chicago; Matthew' VVoll, ChiMiss Mary Van Kleeck, New and cago, York, The survey of the business cycle has been undertaken by the National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc., of New York, of which Dr. Wesley C.

The Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad Company intimately reflected in each individual business, and each individual needs now to study his own business ejele. The organizations which hae done this in the past have reaped prompt benefits. Some of these are the Dennison Manufacturing company, the American Radiator company, and the American Telephone and Telegraph company, but a rapid survey of American business shows more than fifty other examples of intelligent anticipation of the business cycle by American business men. It is worth noting that this intelligent anticipation results not merely in greater security on the job for the employees and of course the Presidents conference on unemployment is interested in that but also it has resulted in profits to the employer and work for the worker, at a time when other peoples business was in the doldrums. There was a time when the country had a financial panic about every so often, precisely as it now has the business depression. But the Federal Reserve Banking sjstem has taken away this threat of financial cataclysm. And so we ask, why not something to hit the business cycle as well? Secretary Hoover feels exactly that way and he hopes to find the answer by the study In which we are now engaged. The Dull Seasons. But these larger movements of booms and slumps are not the whole story. In every year comes the minor problem of seasonal interrulttency and unemployment. Generally speaking, the summer months, with their slackening of activity, and the vacations, which interrupt the flow of business, are followed bj' the busy autumn period ; after the rush of the holidays comes another dull season. Particularly, building, of course, slows down jin winter ; manufacturers of agricultural implements have their maximum number of employees In the late winter; automobile building falls off in the autumn. Hosiery, garments, shoes, have two peaks of employment a year early spring and autumn. Twice as many factory workers are idle in Massachusetts and New York state, for example, at the end of March as at the end of September of the same year. We all know that there is an off season on the farm after the crops have been gathered and the fruit picked. Road building slows dowm In winter, and logging camps are Idle In summer. The fisheries fall off during certain seasons and so It goes. Just as some business men have controlled the cycle In their own affairs, so these seasonal waves admit of control within limits. How far, no one can tell until he tries it with his own business. Anticipation- of demand, analysis of markets, extra sales effort all these have been used with surprising success. Many concerns have profited by just such Intelligence ; but their number Is few, where It should be large. There are examples in the manufacture of men's and womens clothing, rn corset making, art embroideries, paper specialties, glass making, shoe making, and tool making, and in the marketing of meats, dried fruits, nuts, etc., all of them seasonal. Missing, Something. The Important point to realize is that unless the American business man Was studied his business over a peribdi of many years and is laying his plans accordingly, he Is missing somtrthing this ear and by that much is the helpless victim of blind economic laws. Working together, American business men, manufacturers, and farmers, can do even more. They cannot only deal with the management Inside their own ptfrtlcu-la- r Industry, but with some of the forces which affect them from the outside. Right here is where the study of unemployment and business cycles may be depended upon to help out. This will not be completed until next autumn. But already the value of getting together In modifying the evils of booms as well as of slumps Is very clear. For example, the policy of holding back construction work in boom periods and of expanding plans and equipment In dull ones will enable the busl-- ' ness man to take advantage of lower costs at the right time. He will not be paying high prices for material and labor in boom periods by overbidding his competitor. In other words, the business man will not throw away his money in good times but will set aside a portion of it to keep the Industrial thus wheels going In the creating employment for more men and a demand for more goods. On the other hand, every mistake in Judgment by those responsible for commercial and industrial decisions results In waste. In the jear 1921 alone, 19,652 manufacturing and trad ing companies went Into bankruptcy, with liabilities totaling and thousands throwm out of work. Practically every one of these failures was the result of mistakes in judgment. Thousands of other business firms also made mistakes, which resulted In a waste of capital, ma terlal and resources, and unemployment, but for one reason or another they have not been forced Into bankruptcy. The elimination of this waste of capital and resources which is continually going on is one of the big problems of today. The business current is flowing more strongly this year. It Is up to the business man to keep It so. This can only be done by wise anticipation of these cycles and seasons which afflict every industry particularly, and all of them more or less generally. long-rang- V out-of-wo- rk s, Saturday Special Exquisite New Lace Collars and Fronts I $1.50 Values for New Shipment Jap Crepes, irt all colors, 29c RVIME Caie .Emil MERCHANTS LUNCH EVERY DAY, 11 :30 TO 2:30 SHORT ORDERS so-call- ed off-year- cfre Camffout t Especially low round trip fares are now in effect from stations in Utah to .California resort 'cities.
