GRAVE PROBLEM FACES DETROIT; 65,000J)BLES$ Unemployed Situation in Motor City Reaches Serious Stage. BT SAMUEL H. HOFFMAN United Prew. Staff Correspondent DETROIT, Sept. 19.—“Man Is making more hazardous his very existence by his own genius.** Thus. Emmett L. Adams, director of employment for the Detroit office of the Michigan state department of labor and industry, which finds work for more than 2,000 men each month, explains the unemployment situation here, an enormous problem for city and state authorities. An estimate, considered conservative, places the number of jobless persons in Detroit and environs at 65,000, who in turn are responsible for the feeding and clothing of 200,000. Many Part Time Workers This does not take into consideration the large number of employees of factories and business establishments who work only three and four days per week and whose earnings in this short space of time are insufficient for their needs. Detroit has been the mecca for unemployed for the last three years, due largely to lure of automobile factories. From states within a radius of 800 miles and from every province in eastern Canada thousands trek here spurred on by the belief that in this, the motor city, there are jobs galore. Situation Is Grave "The unemployment situation in Detroit at the present moment is not encouraging,’’ Adams said. “I would not advise workers in dist. t states to come here seeking employment. "I am very hopeful that this situation will improve greatly before the first of the year, but suffering and panic faces this enormous army of unemployed during the winter months unless a decided improvement is noted.” The open highway duirng the summer months brought a vast number of tourists here, bearing baggage and children. The situation has become more tense than ever, as shown by a survey tour.

GREED HELD TO BE BASIS FOR TARIFF FIGHT • Industries Clamoring for Higher Rates Already Amply Protected. Bv ficriiwx-Hotrnfd Xetcsvaprr Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—1f the object of a tariff is to protect American labor, many industries clamoring for still higher rates already have more tariff than they ne%d, according to the Rawleigh Tariff bureau. Existing duties more than cover all wage and salary costs, in the case of 208 industries out of 350, according to David J. Lewis, former congressman and tariff commissioner, Washington representative of the Rawleigh bureau. Lewis took his figures from the tariff commission. “How can it be claimed honestly 'that higher duties should be levied to protect wages, where existing duties more than cover such costs?” he asked. Illustrative of the situation is that in the fountain pen industry. If a pen costs $lO, Lewis points out, its wage cost is about $2.51 on the average, or 25.1 per cent. But there is a 100 per cent levy on foreign pens for protection of the American pen, and even if the foreign pen cost only $5, the tariff protection still is twice the American wage bill. “It’ should also be noted,” Lewis said, “that millions of workers are producing goods not protected by tariffs, at higher wages than those paid by ‘protected’ industries. There are 15,000,000 workers who have no vestige of protection. “Still another proof that embargo rates are not necessary is the number of industries which are exporting more goods than are imported. “The advocates of embargo rates should abandon the hoary old fiction of ‘protecting the workman’ and tell the real reason for higher rates, which is a desire on the part of greedy manufacturers to rob the consumer.”

MUNICIPAL GOLFERS HOLD DANCE FRIDAY City Team to Be Sent to Tourney on Proceeds of Frolic. A frolic and dance will be sponsored by municipal golfers Friday night at Municipal Gardens, on the Lafayette road, Harry Schopp, treasurer of the Municipal Golfers’ Association, announced today.
