Excerpt from Unemployment The time is past when the problem of unemployment could be disposed of either by ignoring it, as was the practice until recent years in America, or by attributing it to mere laziness and inefficiency. We are beginning to recognize that unemployment is not so much due to individual causes and to the shiftlessness of won't-works, as social and inherent in our present method Of industrial organization. During the winter of 1914-1915 the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, at the request of the committee on unem ployment appointed by the mayor of New York, estimated after a careful canvass of its industrial policy-holders that persons were unemployed in New York City. In the first two weeks of February a careful canvass was made by agents Of the federal Bureau Of Labor Statistics, on the basis of which it was estimated that were still unemployed at that time. The dis puted estimate of unemployed in that city alone, made during the previous winter by the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, seems, therefore, not to have been exaggerated. At the same time relief agencies in many other cities were swamped. Municipal lodging houses were turning away many genuine seekers after work - to sleep on bare boards at the docks, in warehouses, even in morgues. The United States Census for 1900 showed that working people, or nearly 25 per cent of all engaged in gainful occupations, had been unemployed some time during the year. Of these lost from one to three months' work each; lost from: four to six months each; lost from seven to twelve months each. Similar data were collected by the government in 1910, but they are still unpublished. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Selected Articles on Unemployment The second edition of Unemployment includes, in addition to the material contained in volume 1, about fifty pages of new re prints covering the years 1915 to date. Selections have been made on the broadest and most representative lines of thought so far as material permitted. In addition the bibliography has been revised, and over two hundred references, selected from recent material and have been included, many of them with an notations. The question oi a national public employment bureau is still much to the front in current considerations of the subject of Un employment. In the Federal Employment Service, established on a large scale during the late war and since reduced but still exist ing, we already have its limited realization. The debater will wish to consider whether the greatly curtailed appropriations of Congress since the close of the war are a desirable policy, or whether the service should be given full opportunity of growth and the realization of its objects. The brief has been altered somewhat to meet this new view. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Remedy for Unemployment It should be made quite clear from the first that these estates or colonies are established for the provision of permanent and enjoyable [tomes for all who desired to take advantage of them, not as mere temporary shelters in times of depression. There would, of course, be no compulsion to remain, but anyone who was dissatisfied with his surroundings and left could not again be admitted.
