UNEMPLOYMENT;!! o FRANCE INCREASES; CONSIDERING PROBLEM

:th Associated Press) PARIS, Nov. 22. The number of former workers now unemployed in France Is .125,000, according to official statistics. The total la increasing by daily dismissals in the metallurgic in-' dustry, leather trade, textile and clothing manufacturing Industries and the rroblem is attracting the attention of the government. c During the war the pica of manufacturers was that speedy - delivery of roods was i impossible owing to the lack of laoor. . Now available labor far exceeds the demand. There are numerous reasons for this surplus, prominent among which are given: Lack of raw material, rate of exchange against France in most important countries and high freight rates. It is believed however that there is another reason of purely internal order. Speculators have held back stocks in order to be able to release them when prices were highest, pnd consequently do not need to manufacture at present. Others are F?Jd to deliberately restrict production in order that prices may be kept to their present abnormal level. The high prices have lessened consumption and the public limits its purchases to articles of absolute necessity, with the result that retailers are not sending puch large orders to wholesalers as formerly. " ?.,."."'' ' . Leather Trade Suffers. The leather industry is suffering most, nearly half the workers ordinarily employed being out of work. Parisians in general have refused to pay 120 francs for a very ordinary pair of shoes. At Limoges along, 8,000 shoemakers are without employment. The clothing industry is also reported to be in a bad way. Forty per cent of the workers are idle at a time when ordinarily the factories are at their busiest. The textile industry, on which the towns of Roubaix and Tourcoing depend, is going through a period of the greatest difficulty, and the fur industry is also affected, owing to the excessive pyice of furs, especially of the more ordinary kinds, such as rabbit and goat. Thirty per cent of the automobile workers are idle: some 18.000 or 20,000 skilled workmen. Considerable numbers of men employed in the deastated regions have also left their work: some voluntarily, hesitating to spend th3 winter in draughty shacks without comfort and amusements; r.thers dismissed by contractors who have not yet been paid by the state and ' who hesitate to retain workmen whose wages they may be unable to pay.; Question Discussed. The question was discussed at a recent cabinet meeting, industrial jrrouns are occupied in formulating possible solutions and a mass meeting of unemployment is to be held at. the Labor Bureau. The principal difficulty is not so much in finding work for all concerned, but rather the difficulty of finding suitable work for th many skilled workmen who are at present without employment. There are plentv of openings for unskilled labor in ih devastated regions, and the level-

laborers sn scarce while skilled workmen are plentiful but their empovment at such work as is available would be , nothing less than wasting th country's resources.

CLUBS AT ANDERSON DISCUSS-HOME RULE

ANDERSON, Ind., Nov. 22. The commission-manager form of government for cities is being discussed by civic organizations here and there is a movement to submit a memorial from Anderson to the next session of tbe Indiana legislature to make is possible for Indiana cities to adopt the commission form of operating a municipality. J. F. McClure, formerly a member of the public service commission of

Indiana; W. B. Campbell, formerly secretary of the Anderson Commercial club, and J. J. Netterville, formerly a skate senator from Madison county, are among well known men who have by addresses advocated a change in the process of government for cities. They spoke before the Kiwanis club and the discussion favorable to the commission system was participated in

by Republicans and Democrats. Mr. McClure is a state representative-elect and it is believed that in the house he would be sponsor for the proposed commission-manager bill. John S. Alldredge, state joint senator from Madison, Tipton and Henry counties; Ray Gibbens, joint representative from Madison and Tipton counties, and W. M. Swain, state senator-elect from Madison county, would, it is said, also favor the proposed measure.

THE number of motor miles traveled by the average American has been increasing steadily for a decade. During 1921 this mileage again will be vastly increased. It is estimated that 10 million automobiles and trucks will be in operation by the end of 1921. The estimate for 1920 is 7,523,000. The most intensive use of all kinds of automotive machinery is in the 10 middle Western states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and the major problem confronting this company is to keep its patrons supplied with all the gasoline and lubricating oils they require. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is acknowledged to be the largest individual producer of gasoline in the world, and its efficient system of distribution makes it possible for the remotest citizen in the 10 states served to get his requirements of petroleum products with a minimum of effort and expense. Advanced methods of refining, originated in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) laboratories, have vastly increased the percentage of gasoline recoverable from crude oil. The Company is striving to increase the yield of gasoline, and every effort is concentrated to the accomplishment of this result without sacrifice of gasoline quality. The efficiency of Red Crown Gasoline is an illustration of what has been accomplished. The entire petroleum industry is working to multiply the motor miles which shall be available during 1921, .and the Standard 011 Company (Indiana) is leading in this effort. Prospectors are seeking to discover new fields to drill. Producers are insisting on maximum output from wells already drilled. Waste of oil in transportation is practically eliminated, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) efficiency in refining has vastly increased the average recovery of motor fuel from the crude available. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is cooperating, in every way with the automobile industry and the American motorist to multiply motor miles in 19 21. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So.
