"We can get the money as soon as this bill passes," Alderman Peterson said, "and I believe the Legislature will put it through under suspension of the rules when the members know what it is for; The banks will advance the money or the City Treasurer will do it as quickly as the bonds are authorized. We can repay the temporary loan with the pioceeds of the sale." $15,000 for Sewer Work.

After a three-hour dimispion of the problem of unemployment Tvliirh led into arguments for and against Soe.ial-lm, the wnle tax and Prohibition, The Saturday Lumh Club yesterday adopted a resolution instroetinn the executive committee to study the eanses of present unemployment in Minneapolis and report within a week on measures for dealing with the situation, with particular ieferenee to use of tilf, funds. Breakers in their advocacies ranged from a proposal to readjust the spread of employment in municipal and private corporation systems from a sea-soniil to a vear-round basis, to one of Governmental aid in transportation of unemployed to the waiting johs. Development of creator efficiency in state employment departments was called for, and prospects for Rood were seen in the newly organized Federal Employment Bureau. Industrial Adjustment Needed.

"After Otto V. Davis, assistant secretary of the Civic Commerce Association, had been introduced to preside, Frank Bruno, secretary of the Associated ha-ities, opened the discussion. The making of work for unemployed because work is needed, did not, he said, handle the problem; rather should there be such an adjustment of industrial conditions as to create a demand for labor reasonably near to constant throughout the vear. "I do not know," said Mr. Bruno, "how many" men are out of work in Minneapolis todav and in need of work.

"We have not had the facilities for ascertaining. But. I assume that there are probably 500 men unemployed who are residents here and who formerly were employed regularly. Their present plight may be attributed loosely to a 'dislocation of "Instances are not wanting of private corporations employing much labor that have effected readjustments of their operating systems to permit more equable distribution of employment through the vear instead of having seasonal periods of excessive activity followed by periods of quiet. A Duty of the City.

"I believe the City should enter the employment field to effect proper distribution of labor for the work of the oitv. Instead of crowding construction work into a short term in the summer months, rearrangement would permit of continuing much of it throughout the vear, releasing labor in the peak of the demand, for other lines of work." L. M. Crosgrave of the Economies Department of the University thought the problem was one that would take fifteen to twentv-five years to work out. "As a rule," he said, "under average conditions, one may say that one out of every fifty men is looking for a M) and that one fob out of every flftv jobs is looking for a man.

The problem is how to get the jobless roan and the manless job together. "There are four agencies. In general, engaged in serving the unemployed Tabor organizations, local employment bureas, state employment burets and the recently launched Federal Bureau. I believo there are large Tiossibilities in the Federal Govern NT month.

"In Minnesota it takes, not merely a majority of all those voting upon the amendment, but a majority of the number of votes cast for Governor, to carry any amendment.

That makes every voter who does not vote for the amendment a voter against it, whether he marks his ballot there or not. With such conditions existing, doesn't it seem wasteful and extravagant to do as the suffragists ask and upon it next election? "Of course the suffragists ask that the amendment be submitted on the sround that the great majority of Minnesota women want it. But they don 't. There are a few hundred enthusiastic workers for suffrage. There are manv thousand women who do not want the added responsibility of the ballot, and who deplore everv effort made to get it Think responsibility Too Great.

"They feel that possession and proper use of the right to vote would require too great a sacrifice of time and energy needed in carrying out the duties already theirs, and are certain that the addition of thousands of women voters, instead of greatly improving conditions by the opinion expressed ic their votes, would onlv servo to add much expense and confusion to an already cumbersome ssytem of directing Governmental affairs. "If the Legislators grant tho request of the suffragists, money will be spen uselessly in this state between now and the eloction: spent in a vain endeavor to get the voters to give all the women something that those few women desire. More than $50,000 was spent in the campaign states where suf frage lost last year, and the recent campaign for Congressional opinion cost them $37,000.

Paul gave the programmed talk, and Louis Nash, commissioner of public works, Bt. Paul, supported it later.

Mr. Seibert held that under a single tax system, idle land would become productive, industry would flourish, labor conditions would readjust themselves, un-emplovment would disappear and the country would be uniformly prosperous. Mr. Nash was fully in accord with this. It was for Dr.
