THE EVENING ENPLOYMENT GAIN SHOWN N EPORT Department of Labor De- clares Situation in U. S. Is “Satisfactory.” | By the Assoclated Press. The Department of Labor reported today that the industrial employment situation throughout the United States during October “can be described gen- erally as satisfactory. The industrial activity of the country was depicted in the report as continuing in good volume and in a number of the larger manufacturing cities with additional workers placed on the pay rolls. In several automobile centers there was a slight decrease in operating schedules. “The iron and steel mills, the bar- ometer of industry, maintained the high volume of employment noted in the previous month,” said the report. “There was a further improvement in the textile industry and many of the cotton textile mills, particularly those Jocated in the Southern States, re- sumed full-time schedules.” Bituminous Gain Is Shown. The report declared that the bitu- ‘minous coal mining business was on a more substantial basis, many miners previously unemployed being absorbed during the month, and that there also was an increase in production and em- plovment in the anthracite coal fields of the country. Some fluctuation was noted during the month in building activities. Sev- eral States reported what was described as seasonal curtailment of outdoor ac- tivities because of cold weather. Harvesting of the sugar beet crop in the Rocky Mountain district, which be- gan in October, gave employment to many workers, the report said, and ab- sorbed the large army of workers that had been released from the grain and threshing of the latter part of Sep- tember. 13 = % Marriage Licenses.
