tor of "Church of Unemploy
ed'' to Continue Auction.
Boston. Jobless men have been
placed on the auction block on Boston
Common. Stripped to the .vaist, after
the custom of the old slave auctions,
they declared their willingness to went
by standing before a crowd of thous
ands, offering their services to the
highest bidder.
"Shorn lambs of unemployment,"
their auctioneer, Urbain Ledoux, call
ed them.
Ledoux, a philanthropic worker who
recently opened the "church of the
unemployed," in the West End, led a
group of 50 to the commons to bring
home, he said, to the people of Boston
their Btories of human misery, juct as
William Lloyd Garrison pleaded for
the slaves on the same spot 70 years
ago. It wag to prove that his charges
were not parastic floaters, but instead,
good citizens out of a job, that he put
some of them on the block, he explain
ed. Ledoux's efforts to get work for his
men were not rewarded. Of the three
who stood up for bids, none went away
to a job, although from the crowd
came pledges to help tide them over
week or two while they sought em
ployment. Their leader said, however
that he considered he had succeeded
in bringing their plight and the hon
esty of their purpose to public atten
tion and he announced that the auction
was to be a daily event, to be contin
ued at least for the remainder of the
month.
Ledoux and his men, box lunches In
hand, came to the common from West
Knd headquarters, where he has fed
hundreds. While they munched their
sandwiches, he called for volunteers to
stand at auction prepared to work for
a week for tho highest bidders. Eight
men stepped out, two of them world
war veterans, most of them in clothing
that was frayed and shoes well down
t the heels. Each was asked how long
he had been out of work and without
food and chelter.

shipping board holds first mortgages
on the vessels for $13,743,231. The pe

closes a receivership proceeding will
be brought by the Equitable and possi
bly other banks among i which the
Equitable distributed an $S, 000,000
bond issue secured by nine other ships
