CASE OF THE UNEMPLOYABLES.
A recent issue of the Saturday Review
Bay-Some close and competent observers DUNSANY'S
of the industrial position predics a very bad winter for the country. We hope they are wrong, but there are certain facts which seem to point that way. Now that tha abnormal demands and enormous expen diture of the war have died down, and it is obvious that Europe will take a long time to recovor its consuming power, our feel the exporters are begining to
draughe," 'Shippers of woollen and rub her goods are particularly uneasy, for the Central Empires and Russia are not able to buy, and they were large customers. Large stocks have been accumulated, and it is feared that they will not find markets abroad. Our coal, steel, and locomotives wil always be in demand: there is no fear for those trades. But anything like drying up of our export of woollen, co ton, or leather goods would mean closing down many factories and mills, and great unemployment. Becing the huge mana- facture and universal use of motors here: at home, ons would think that the renewal of tires would absorb the rubber stocks: but we are informed that two of the biggest tire manufacturers have dismissed a great many hands.

At present the percentage of unemploy ment was never lower. Out of total working population of some 18 millions, only 300,000 are unemployed, of which abous Of course, 900,000 are 'ex-service men. there has been a great deal of "stunting." ... lying exaggeration "and false senti- mentality about the es-service men. Ex cept a small number of men who were demo DAIRY FARM NEWS hilised the ixtest, quite 80 per cent.. of the unemployed ex-service men are the un- happy residuum of work-hies and gaen ployables who are always with us. Owing to the war, in which these mea ere forced to engage, this residuam of unemployables have been caronised by Mr. Lloyd George and appear under the attractive title of heroes. A very large proportion, per- haps 70 per cent, have not fought at all. and never got nearer to the front than -Rouen.
It is well to remember these facts at is time when it is the fashion to attack" the Ministry of Labour and the trade unions. Without fear of disproof, wa assert that all the employables, all the men who can and will work, to the number of nearly three millions (always excepting the small percentage who were not demobilised till the spring of 1920), have been 'absorbed, chiedy by the agency of the Ministry of Labour acting with the trade unions. Those who remain out are the residuum of un- employables. Except in a few cases, where the state of trade made further absorption impossible, we learn on the best authority that it is not true that the trade unious have refused to allow men to resume their interrupted apprenticeships. The mere fact that there are 200,000 more coal miners working than before the war would seem to confirm this statement.
There are, of course a great many lads, mere boys or 16 and 17, who were swept into the army before they were old enough
to learn a trade or enter upon an appren tienship. For these youngsters, now about. 20 years old, training centre have been established by the Ministry of Labour which place the lads. with firms, who will take them at a low wage, and which send them to lectures and courses of technical instruction. The same thing is done for
disabled men the cannot resume their former crafts. These training centres are energetically and intelligently managed, and reflect great credit on the Ministry of Labour. The case of young others, who have given up the five most important years of their life.to the war, is far more dificult to deal with than those of the privates. The misfortune is that the officers' own class. who are willing and anxious to help them, are suffering more from excessive taxation and high cost of living than the mamal Inbourers and the farmers,
Hax any, on noticed that the cry of More Production has died upon the lipa of those who know? Of course, members of Parliament and journalists, who "don't know, keep on repeating the parrot'ery of more production. But employers of labour and intelligent trade unionist leaders know very well that, what is wanted is less pro duction, always excepting coal, steel, locomotives, wheat, and meat. With shrink- ing foreign demand and accumulated stocks, more production sounds, to the informed; Hike the cry of a madman. For the cotton and woollen trades, possibly for the boot and shoe trade, and the rubber trade, shor ter time and lower wages are unavoidable. This ought to mean lower prices, which would surely please everybody; at least gild the pill of reduced wages,

We have received from a lady correspon ing letter: I have often read with approval complaints in the Press against the unreliability of the Indian postal service, and have often myself suffered from delayed and mislaid letters; but I have just oxperienced a postal offence on so large seals that 1 have given way to the tempta tion to air my grievance in your esteemed dally. Four days ago I gave my husband no fewer than fifteen letters to post, all of them invitations to come to tea yesterday; ia each letter I asked my greats to be good enough to reply by return of post. Well, Mr. Editoh, I received not one mingle an suer, and have not been able to give my tea party. It is evident that the Poet Office has failed to deliver every single on of my letters. What do you think of that for wholesale dereliction of duty on the part of the Post Office?" Our sympathies, says our contemporary, wero indeed arounxi thy this sad tale and wa wers upon the
