ONE TRADE
WORKERS' DEFICIENCY
UNEMPLOYMENT FACTOR. MORE VERSATILITY ADVISED-. (Received 11.30 a.m.) WASHINGTON, December 18. The Secretary of Labour, Mr J. J. Davis, in his annual report to Congress gives it as his opinion that the! unemployed crisis periodically afflicting the United States is not so much due to an actual dearth of employment as to the inability of American workmen to adjust themselves to changing circumstances and turn to other lines when their own trade is slaek. Mr Davis thinks the remedy is that every workman should learn a secondary trade. The report urges that more attention should be given to the Federal Employment Servicec, which last year found employment for 1,500,000 persons.—A. and N.Z.
