Excerpt from Out of Work: A Study of Unemployment HE extraordinary conditions of unemployment prevailing in the winter of 1914 and 1915, and the little real progress made in the organization of the labor market since 1904, the date of the first appearance of Out of Work, have led me to revise the data published at that time in order to make it describe accurately the unemployment situation Of the present, and the remedial measures now undertaken or projected. I hope this presentation may serve in some way to bring about a coordina tion Of the work now being done, to stimulate new activities, and to focus attention upon unemploy ment as a national problem, looking toward the adoption Of a governmental policy.
