AMERICAN UNEMPLOYED

ADAPTABILITY LACKING. SECONDARY TRADES URGED. A. and N.Z. WASHINGTON', Dec. 18. The Secretary for Labour, Mr. J. J. Davis, in his annual report to Congress, expresses the opinion that the unemployment crises that periodically affect the United States are not so 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 are 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 1,500,000 men.
