INDUSTRIAL ~ SITUATION - IMPROVING This Is Report Handed Associat- ed Press By’Federal, State And Labor Leaders “5,000,000 IDLE” — GOMPERS Sixteen States Show That 1,- 350,000 People Are Still Out ’ Of Employment \ Chicago, May 1—(By the A. P.)— General improvement in the industrial situation, described in several —in- stances as slow but steady, particu- larly over conditions as ‘they existed| in the winter months, was indicated in reports gathered by The Associated Press from federal, state, labor and industrial leaders’ in many states of ‘the union, Labor commissioners and other. of- ficials in virtually every state from which reponts were received, not only declared that unemployment had ma- terially been lessened in ithe last, few months, but nearly all were optimistic concerning the ‘future, holding that tthe opening of ‘seasonable lines of work, auch as agriculture, and road and building construction would h2!p greatly in abgorbing the surplus of workers, rs nae While, no’ detinite ‘tigate "on the present, iber of un foyed ‘was available, approximately 1,350,000 per- song were reported idle in ‘sixteen states from whith estimates were re- ceived. Large industrial states such as ‘New York, Pennsylvania and Massa- chusetts contributed more ‘than .1,009,- 000. to this total, New York ‘leading with an. estimated 600,000 out of work. The total population of the six- teen statés Was Itt excess, of 43,000.00. Samuel, Gompers, “president of the American Federation of. Labor, esti- mated ithe unemployed at 5,000,000. Miners and other workers on strike were not included in the state esti- mates. The miners’ strike, which union | officials estimated as involving nearly 700,000 men, was ‘the largest industrial ‘controversy in progress as. May day approached, with a considerable num- ber of wérkers affected by textile and ‘stone cutting strikes in shutdowns in New England and'in minor walkquts in other parts of the country. In some cities there was declared to be a demand for skilled workers, although the supply of common. ‘labor, generally, was declared to be larger ‘than the demand. Some state labor, de- partment officials. definitely . stated ‘that the unemp!oymont crisis has been passed in their states and that. a mové toward normal conditions was in ‘progress, Some localities reported that conditions already virtually were mormal, ‘but from most of,.the states reportiNg there was ‘declared to be un employment in many lines. Only.in.a few isolated instances; howpver, was it declared to be ‘acute, and the gen- eral tenor of the‘statements was one of optimism, particularly:‘with ‘refer- ence to the future. ©. era) ~ A- program of’ intense ‘bu:lding .a2- tivity and city/and state improvement work was outlined’.in reports trom vintually. every tate, and it was. ex- spected ‘that many idle workers would find employment in a -gigantic .con- struction boom which was. indicated from many sources, Records Are Broken Monthly reports of building activity kept by the American contractor since * 1914 were broken by ‘the total valui- tion of building permits at ‘leadiag cities for March, and the aggregate of $262,283,254 for 190 cities was believed by that publication to be the largest for all time. The number of permits ¢ssued last month in thos? cities was 62,444, As compared with March 1921, whan «the permits nymbere? 63,315 and the valuation amounted to $131,006,317, the gain in value was 98 percent. New York establishes on ,, unprecedented record of $104,098,548. Chicago's ‘per- mits were 'the largest in nine years, according to the Tilinois Department of Labor, despite the handicap of un- settled labor conditions in some bulld- ing trades. They amounted to $19,333,- 900, an. increase of $12,033,800" over |: March of last year. ‘ The Chicago building controversy hinges on the Landis wage award, which sever construct! unions have peepty accept, ont ver which there’ appears to be no pré8ent -pros- pect. of settlement. The Bright Spots Among the brightest reports were those trom New Jersey, North Dako- ta, Ohid, Idaho, Utah and Nebraska, although they were accompanied in ‘one instance by the warning that no outsiders were in demand. Nebraska was listed May 1, 1921 among the fates with considerable unemploy- ment with 12,000 estimated’ as ‘out of work. This year, Frank A. Kenre- dy, secretary of the Nebraska’ State Department of Labor said “Nebraska will be enabled to take care of ‘all its , unemployed: in another: four. weeks; state and federal-agericles are begin- ning to ‘have difficulty in filling calls for laborers; reports from the stato; indicate no unusual or serious Co! ition.” He added, however, “Nebraska! will need no outside labor, unless pos- sibly some harvest hands late in the summer.” Joseph A, Kitchen, director of the| ‘North Dakota State Federal Employ- ment Agency, declared, at Bismarck} ‘that next month there wilh not be aj farm worker in ithe state who wants to! work who will be out of a job. Mrs. M. B. Bowe, in charge of ‘the Fargo State-Federal Employment Agency, declared ‘that there was no acute em- ployment problem in North Dakota, and that the state continued to absor) much labor from the squth and east. The demand is almost entirely for + farm labor, she added. CHANGES POSITIONS. Mickinson IN. D., May 1.—J.

They: have buried him under a rose bush in the yard of his sled driver, “Scotty” Allen. Over the little mound of freghly turned earth they have hung Baldy's service flag with its 26 stars;.a star for each of the shaggy sons he sent.to the Great War. ‘Only a dog—yet the news that he has gone on his last mush has trav- eled from the white silence ofthe Arctic, that once was his home, to tha Swiss Alps, where the survivors of his line live on pension” of the French government,» Baldy’s Exploits Only) a ‘dog—yet, when: his driver fell in ‘Alaskan snows’ during a race he had: the heart and brains to stop, swerve in his track and lift to the sled the-injured man. «- fa (No Other. dog had ever been able to fead his ‘team in sever” successive Taces, across the 418-mile course of the Alaska sweepstakes. ~ +The malt?) nuppy jpet of a BALDY OF NOME DIES!

D., May, 1.—Girls—four of thom—won the Fargo College vic- tories in debate which have marked the season just closing. The school won both ends of a debate with the State University. and likewise won a dual debaté with Jamestown College. The girls won, in each case, not through the power of | spell-binding oratory or ‘any debating tricks but through exceedingly thorough prepa- ation, according to A. R.
