A conference on unemployment at which several Harvard professors will speak, will be held next Wednesday at the Harvard Business School. The meeting will be held under the auspices of the Cambridge League of Women Voters, and will consist of an afternoon session from 3.30 to 5.30 o'clock, and an evening session from 7.45 to 9.30 o'clock, with a recess for supper at the Faculty Club of the Business School.

Professor S. B. Slichter, of the department of Business Economics, will preside at the meeting. Professor Slichter was a member of the staff of the Institute of Economics at Washington, D. C., and also served for ten years as professor of Economics at Cornell University. He is now serving as technical advisor for President Hoover's Committee on Technological Unemployment, and is thoroughly conversant with the relief measures now being advocated in the present acute crisis.

The meeting will attempt to review the present unemployment situation not only with regard to Cambridge in particular, but from a state and even nationwide standpoint. The talks, which will be followed by open discussion, will include both aspects of the problem.

In the afternoon session the speakers will be J. W. Motherwell. Mr. J. E. Finnegan, and Reverend Agus Dun '17, who will speak on "The Relief of Unemployment in Cambridge." Professor J. E. Ebersole, of the Business School will lead the discussion afterwards.

The chief speaker of the evening session will be Leo Wolman, of the National Bureau of Economic Research, a member of President Hoover's Emergency Committee for Unemployment. Mr. Wolman will speak on "The Theory and practice of Unemployment Insurance," on which he is an authority.
