It is announced that the number of unemployed throughout the country is greater than at any time since the autumn of 1921, which preceded an unusually hard winter. In New York City alone, according to figures published. by the Bureau of Industrial Aid, 300,000 men and women are out of work. Sixty per cent, of them are members of trade unions.
