About 9,000 men in Seattle are out of work now, with counts rising through winter, says William Short. Mayor Caldwell’s unemployment bureau held its first public meeting noting severe conditions and proposing public improvements and a municipal wood yard, plus a central unemployment clearing house. About 1300 women and girls sought YWCA work in August, up nearly 50 percent.
