Abstract
Milwaukee, like other cities, spent huge sums of money to aid the unemployed during the depression through the medium of the Outdoor Relief. To alleviate this increasing burden on the taxpayers as well as to help the unemployed two barter exchanges were organized by means of which the unemployed might meet their own and one another's needs through their own efforts, that is by means of barter or direct exchange of commodity for commodity. The two exchanges, the Unemployed Labor and Commodity Exchange, Inc., and the Commodity Exchange, Inc. were organized upon the same principle as similar exchanges in the Far Western states.
