Government forms committee to revise unemployment statistics
President Hever announces a representative committee to overhaul the nation’s unemployment statistics and methods for labor market measurement. The in house canvass plan is deemed too costly, prompting shifts away from the Department of Labor’s long criticized techniques amid rising concern over unemployment as a major political issue. A Milwaukee machine with three acres of floor space and 120 workers illustrates the era’s tech-driven productivity and labor displacement.

Sugar markets voice concerns on production and prices
The article argues that without international agreement sugar output cannot fall to normal levels and prices will rely on forced sales of nearly bankrupt stocks. It says U S producers fear future prospects and suggests distributing production across several states could ease concerns, noting calls for protection based on production costs rather than dumping cheap labor surplus. It critiques degenerated federal spirit and cites Brunton Stephens.
