AMERICA'S WORKLESS.
NOT AN ADAPTABLE LOT.
SECONDARY TRADES NEEDED. (By Cable.—Press Association. —Copyright.) (Received 10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, December 18. The Secretary of Labour (Mr. J. J. Davis), in his annual report to Congress, expresses the opinion that the unemployment crises periodically afflicting America are not bo much due to actual dearth of employment as to the inability of American workmen to adjust themselves to changing conditions and to turn to other lines when their own trades were slack. Mr. Davis thinks that the remedy is for every workman to learn a secondary trade. The report suggests that more attention should be given to the Federal employment service, which last year found employment for a million and a half men.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)
