UNEMPLOYED NOW i

<
<
SECRETARY DAVIS MAKES A ]
STATEMENT ON UNEMPLOY- I
ED?SAYS NUMMBER OVER 1
ESTIMATED, AND A GREAT ,
DEAL LESS THAN IN 1914. ,
Washington, Sept. 15.?Those who <
are disturbed over the 5,735,000 un- 1
jmployed of today, overlook that in 1
L914 there were 7,000,000 out of <
ivork a larger percentage of whom J
ivere men and actual bread winners
;han in the present unemployed, Sec- 1
retary Davis said today, in a state- '
nent. ^
. "While we have our unemployed,
et us not forget the 12,000,000 who
ire still at work." The statement said ^
'further encouraging fact is that
?500,000,000 is now available about 1
:he" country in the form of bonds already
issued or appropriated by -the j
state, county and municipal governments
for public works."
Positive signs of business recovery j
iave been furnished by the commis- ^
sioner of labor statistics, Secretary
[}avis declared. (
"Some of these signs have an as- :
ject of their own. I put them out for
>thers to interpret as they please. {
3ut one must have his head very
nuch in the air, these days, not to
notice the growing prevalence of silk ^
losiery^ ancf .the; use of $ilks in gen- j
'' ' ' ')
"The; stsfteffiefit had been constanty
made, in the news and editorial j
:olumns of newspapers, that the De- ^
)epartment of fcabor reported 5,735
nen beijag .out of work. The De- (
>artmerft of Labor has reported no^ {
uch thing. It did report, that accord- (
ng to the best available estimate ^
lartment of labor reported 5,735,000 1
100 fewer men, women and children ?
m the- payrolls than there' were in
darch, 1920. There is a difference \
irith a distinction. It is a very differ- t
nt matter from saying that there are
,735,000 men unemployed. c
"Nothing is to be gained by stick- t
r.g our heads in the sand arid ignoring
the gravity of the present unpm- \
doyment situation. Neither do we c
irofit by distorting the fact and ex- g
ggeratingl the figures estimated. Here
s one salient fact to be kept in mind J
?probably not more than a third of h
hese 5-,735,000 are the principal j
read winners of the family.
"Taking all the families of the g
Jnited States there are on the aver- 1
ige, over two bread winners to every c
amily. If one of these bread win- i
lers is unemployed, it seriously crip>les,
but it does not necessarily im- ^
>overish the family. Mind you, I am
lot saying that there is not at this
ime considerable actual suffering
imong our people, nor that this win- ^
er may not bring more suffering un- <]
ess something intelligent and effec- e
ive is done to relieve the situation, j
Discussing efforts to relieve the B
ituation, Secretary Davis said that 3
he emnlovment service of the De'' -
1 * . *
lartment of Labor was doing all it t
ould do to place workers in posi- ^
ions. . a
"During the harvest," he explained E
'it sent between 55,000 and 60,000
nen to the farms and kept them movr.g
as the harvest season moved
lorthward. (
"The unemployment service is at
>resent taking care of the thrashing
ind com curing situation wherever
idditional men are needed for this 1:
rnrpose. I g
"Cotton and woolen goods already t
how signs of recovery, and there is g
icarcely a plant in the country turn- (
ng out silk hosiery that is not work- I
ng at full or overtime. Silk fabrics (
ire on the move. These things speak r
for themselves and may be speaking ft
;he same language as the figures c
.howing that more garages than <
lUUdca nave uccu uuut in ictcui ( a
nonths. Here is another fact with its i
>wn significance. Shoe factories seem (
;o be working for the most part on 1
cancy higher-priced women's shoes,
rhe demand for these will come when
;he railroads and the factories are 3
started on a more going scale when
:he more staple grades of shoes for i
men will come into larger demand,
rhat cannot be long delayed. The 1
situation begins to brighten."

plenty of liquor
at arbuckle party(Continued
from page one)
Rappe before her death.
Mrs. Delmont at the inquest said
she, Miss Rappe and A1 Semnacher,
Miss Rappe's manager, drove to San
Francisco |pom Los Angeles, leaving
Sunday night, Septemlber 4.
While she and Miss Rappe were 1
eating*breakfast the next day a tele-?,
phone call was received that a Mr.
Arfouckle wante<J to see them all at
the San Francisco Hotel. Miss Rappe
went to ^TDUCKie s room aione ana
then telephoned for Mrs. Delmont
.and ?emnacher to join here. There,
she testified, she met Arbuckle. Lowveil
Sherman, Ira C. Fortlouis and
Frederick Fischback. There we're
many bottles on the table in the
room. Miss Rappe had three drinks
of gin and one orange juice and
Mrs. Delmont had about ten drinks
of whiskey. Two more girls came in,
whom she learned later were Alice
Blake and Vey Pyvron.
The Rappe girl rose and went into(the
bath room off Arbuckle's room.
#
When she came out of the bath room
Arbuckle was in his-room. He closed
fhe door between his and the sitting
room, where the other memlbers of
the party were.
She heard screams coming from
the room about an hour later, she
said, and demanded that Arbuckle
open the door. He did so. The Rappe
girl was on the bed tearing at her
clothing and screaming.
"I am hurt. I am dying. He did
it." , *
iShe removed the girl's clothing
and assisted by Fischback, placed
her in a tub of cold water. This had
no effect and so Miss Rappe was
taken to another room and put to
.1 J
oea.
Arbuckle kept his eyes fixed on'
the witness throughout her testi-j
mony.
'Mrs. Dehnont finished her testimony
at noon. Atfbuckle took more
than usual interest when, toward the
close of the session Coroner, Dr. T.
B. W. Lelard asked the witness:
"How do you happeh to remember
what happened if you had had so
many drinks of whiskey?" N
"My memory is always good," she
answered.
When the inquest 'was resumed
this afternoon, Ira C. Ffcrtlouis, a
salesman, | took the stand. He testified
that he was present at the party
but left before Arbuckle is supposed
to have gone into the room with
Miss Rappe.
Mr. Semnacher, testified that he
attended the party after trying in
vain to induce Missi Rappe to return
to Los Angeles. He was not present
he said during the alleged attack,
ibut came back later and saw Miss
RaDDe on the bed apparently very
ill. * " '
Semnacher also testified that he
visited Miss Rappe the day following
the party and she sald to him:
"Roscoe hurt me."
He said he did not hear the
screaming testified to by Mrs. Delmont
and was surprised when he
heard the full details of the party
from Mrs. Delmont the next day.
