NEW YORK, November 17.—" Democratic party faces a deficit of a proximately $1,600,000 in meeting e: penses in the recent campaign total- ing about $5,300,000, James W. Gerard, treasurer of the Democratic national committee, announced yesterday. Contributions to date, he said, total $3.736,000 and continue to come in. More than 87,000 contributions, he said in a statement, have been placed on the committee’s books, 24,000 of them since election day. “We have many thousands of con-} tributions yet unrecorded,” continued the statement, “and it is safe to say that before we get through we will have in the neighborhood of 125,000 to 150,000 contributors to our fund. “The activity of the treasurer's office is far more pronounced than at any time during the campaign. Every mail brings in hundreds of contributions and I might say that a great many thou- sands must come in if we are to pay off the indebtedness in which the com- mittee finds itself.” ‘The - bulk of the contributions have been in amounts from $1 to $25. Mr. Gerard considered the inflow of contri- butions as testimonials to the popularity of Gov. Smith and Senator Robinson, the vice presidential candidate, “among’| the masses.” SURPLUS OF LABOR NOTED FOR OCTOBER * Unskilled Workers Principally Af- fected in Capital—Virginia and Maryland Reported. ‘There was a surplus of labor apparent in Washington throughout October, principally unskilled workers, the Indus- trial Employment Information Bulletin, issued monthly by the United States Employment Service of the Department of Labor, announces. “The hotels increased their forces during the month,” the report said. “Street paving, car track improvements, utiiity extensions and subdivision work gave employment to a large number of skilled and unskilled laborers. Several large building projects are under way which, with other smaller projects, afford employment for a great many building tradesmen and un: labor- ers. Forces employed on the construc- tion of the Arlington Bridge were cur- tailed somewhat.” Considering Maryland, the report said: “Industrial employment condi- tions were regarded as fairly satisfactory throughout October. Seasonal activities on the farms, in factories, State road construction, and bullding and municipal improvements in cities afford- ed employment to largs numbers of =killed and unskilled workers. Sufficient farm labor was available in most localities,” ‘The Virginia situation was dealt with in this ianguage: “The major industries throughout the State operated on prac- tically normal schedules. The tobacco 2nd shipping industries increased activ- ities. ~Textile mills in some sections curtailed their schedules somewhat. A {2ir volume of building was under way in practically all the larger cities and rsident craftsmen were generally well cmplayed.” = - SERVICES OVER RADIO.

Property Damage Heavy. Damage to property in England and Wales was enormous and widespread. Thirty families were homeless today. their dwellings having been wrecked by the gale. Roofs were swept off scvcra]l large buildings. Two hundred and eighty trunk tele- phone and telegraph lines out of Lon- ! don were down. As a result, 80 towns were either cut off from communication or were able to communicate only by roundabout routes. Seventeen broad- casting stations were isolated. Mr. MacDonald traveled from London | to Ipswich on a train which was held | up by fallen trees three times. One of the trees stretching across the rails, nearly proved disastrous. | Shipping Crippled. A passenger steamer from Calais to| Dover took four hours for the crossing which normally lasts an hour. The passengers were roughly shaken up. | Most_channel steamers suspended serv- | ice. Many fishing boats were sunk along | the shore and several lifeboats had a terrific time in answering calls of dis- tress. e The big Cunard liner Alaunia post- poned her departure from Southamp- ton. The coasting steamer Edith crawl- ed into Liverpool with her funnel miss- i'?rlmcss Marie was saved from serious injury in Paris by an_umbrella. She was walking in the Place Vendpme when a huge plate glass window was shattered by the wind. Pieces of glass fell all around her, but only a few went through her umbrella and she es- caped with slight cuts. A plane which left Le Bourget for London was forced to alight at Deauvis and overturned. It was wrecked, but the passengers escaped injury. All other air service from Le Bourget was sus- pended. The harbors of Brest, Lorient, St. Nazaire and Cherbourg were filled with craft which sought shelter from the gale. For Rent SHOPS AND OFFICES Duryea Building Conn. Ave. & L S!.
