Almost any town can develop a

The decision of the American Fed
eration of Labor, as expressed by
resolutions at the Tampa convention,
is not to put out a labor ticket in th-e
political campaigns of this country.
The vote probably reflects the current
view that third parties, after all, do
not get the votes in a national elec
tion, and also, to some extent, a de
sire to administer a slap at the Lewis
faction which seems to be inclined to
abandon the custom of Labor to pass
on candidates rather than to put up
its own nominees. We think the de
cision was wise in the light of pres
ent conditions and the experience of
the recent election, but no one can
foretell what the situation will be in
1940.
<s>
The idea persists that if the na
tion can attain its production peak of
1929 the problem of unemployment
will be solved, but Harry L. Hopkins,
WPA head, points out that this is
not correct. Right now, he says, we
are only 10 per cent, below 1929 pro
duction, which should be attained
next year. However, in 1929, there
were 1,800,000 unemployed and care
fully prepared estimates indicate that
the numlber next year, on the basis
of 1929 production, will not be less
than 6,500,060. While machine im
provement enables workers to produce
10 per cent, more than in 1929 there
is more unemployment in sight than
this indicates, due to the fact that
about 500,000 more young workers
appear every year than the number
of those retired by old age and death.
Mr. Hopkins thinks it will take a
production gain of 45 per cent, over
1929 to absorb all workers.

If you suffer from headaches what
you want is quick relief.
Genuine Bayer Aspirin tablets
give quick relief, for one reason, be
cause they dissolve or disintegrate
almost instantly they touch mois
ture. (Note illustration above.)
Hence when you take a real
Bayer Aspirin tablet it starts to
dissolve almost as quickly as you
swallow it. And thus is ready to
start working almost instantly . . .
headaches, neuralgia and neuritis
pains start easing almost at once.
That’s why millions never ask
for aspirin by the name aspirin
alone when they buy, but always
say “BAYER ASPIRIN” and see
that they get it.
Try it. You’ll say it’s marvelous.

Those who are able will buy bonds,
the proceeds of which will be used
for the same purpose. Most of the
money raised, we are advised, will
be used in the communities where it
is contributed.
There is no use for us to go into
statistics about tuberculosis. Every
reader know about the disease and
the importance of battling against
its spread. Surely, there is no easier
way than to buy Seals and Bonds!

The Nation’s Problems-
The great problem before the Unit
ed States, just now, is what to do
with those that are unemployed,
willing but unable to find work.
The National Industrial Conference
Board estimates the unemployed at
8,975,000; the American Federation
of Labor says 11,000,000, and the
National Association of Manufactur
ers asserts the correct figures are
“less than 5,C00,000 without work
and seeking work.”
With these conflicting estimates it
seems reasonable to have a census of
the unemployed, as suggested by
Secretary Roper, but immediately
bobs up another question, “When is
a person unemployed?” Does the
j class include those who formerly
; worked occasionally, the part-time
worker and those engaged in season
al occupations?
President Roosevelt has suggested
i that the unemployed be allowed to
register themselves, thus saving time
and expense. Business leaders indi
i cate, on their part, a willingness to
make special efforts to give work to
the uemployed. Altogether there is
much discussion of the question.
Maybe, a solution is in sight, after
all, and the near future will see the
truth of the prophecy that America
will once again face a labor shortage.
