WEEKLY FINANCIAL REVIEW
A study of the unemployment
census report of the Department of
Commerce mode public on July
28th shows the manufacturing and
mechanical industries most serious-
ly affected by unemployment. Ex-
traction of minerals and the fores-
try and fishing industries had the
next highest percentage of jobless,
while the lowest were found in
agriculture, public service and pro-
fessional service.
Of the 48,823,589 persons, ten
years old or over, reported as gain-
ful workers in April. 1930, over
2 400.000 or 5 per cent were out of a
job, able to work and looking for
work. Nearly half the jobless were
in the manufacturing and mechani-
cal industries, in which over 1,100,-
000 persons out of about 14.300,000
gainful workers were unemployed.
Of the Individual industries, un-
employment in the building trades
was the greatest with 15 per cent
of its workers jobless. Other high
percentages were 10.2 per cent in
woolen and worsted mills, 9.9 in
automobile factories and 9 in cigar
and tobacco plants.
The smallest percentage of job-
less among the manufacturing in-
dustries were found in the chemi-
cal, paper and allied industries and
other independent hand trades.
One of the most significant unem-
ployment returns are those for
farm laborers—wage workers, of
whom 3.8 per cent were jobless.

According to recent census, there
are 16.000 more women in Los
Angeles than men. Young man,
don't go west!
When Theodore Roosevelt, 38th
President of the United States, and
Orover Cleveland, 22nd President,
used the authority of their office
in meeting serious economic dis-
turbances during their terms, there
were those who questioned the
Presidential power and the his-
toric precedent for such acts. But
the power and the precedent had
been established by the First Presi-
dent. Oeorge Washington, who
omitted not even this detail from
the countless other lasting examples
and precedents he set in putting In
motion the machinery of our gov-
ernment.
The disturbance that moved
President Washington to this first
test of Federal power in putting
down a serious threat to its stabil-
ity was the famous "Whiskey In-
surrection" which originated during
his first Administration.
That historis uprising, as the Di-
vision of Information and Publica-
tion of the Uunited States Oeorge
Washington Bicentennial Commis-
sion points out, was not, as its
name Implies, a moral difference
on the wet-and-dry issue. It had
its orgin in an economic question
and was much like the serious
strikes which the later Presidents,
Cleveland and Roosevelt, were call-
ed on to master. The chief differ-
ence in the "Whiskey Insurrection"
was that this "strike" ran afoul of
a Federal law. and hence directly
invited Federal interference.
The trouble began in the early
1790's. By then the valleys west-
ward of the Alleganies were pro-
ducing wheat, but not yet had
roads or other means of transpor-
tation been developed. As a re-
sult it was found that the easiest
way to ship this wheat was in the
form of whiskey, and distilling be-
came the principal industry of the
four western counties of Pennsyl-
vania.
In 1791 the young, and still
needy. Government of the United
States, casting about for revenues,
passed an excise law that laid
tf m
fjrhranla dMtlim looted upon this
cut In their profits as an uajtut
discrimination against an industry
and under the leadership of one,
David Bradford, they promptly
organised" and put up resistance
to the law.
This In Itself was direct defiance
of Federal authority, and the sit-
uation was further darkened when
Federal Officers who attempted
to seize the cheif offenders were
driven away by force. Neville, Fed-
eral tax collector, was besieged in
his own house. In no long time
these first "insurgents" had cowed
all other elements about them and
were virtual dictators of their end
of Pennsylvania.
The real gravity of this first
threat to the stability of the new
United States Government lay in
the fact that these Insurgents were
not precisely hoodlums but were
men who in these days would re-
gard themselves as "industrialists."

delagates which met in 1794 at

Port Arthur, Texas, August 4.—
Miss Marie Stahl is dead Tuesday
because she smoked a cigarette.
While riding with friends Sun-
day night, she was offered a smoke
and accepted. After several puffs
she held her arm out of the car
window to flick the ashes away.
A truck was parked at the curb
and as the car In which Miss Stahl
was riding drove by too closely
Miss Stahl's arm was caught in
tlie uprights of the truck. Her arm
was severed.
She died from shock superim-
posed by loss of the arm. The
driver of the car in which she was
riding, is held on charges of negli-
gent homicide.
