The employment . situation is being dragged into politics, Secretary of Labor Davis charged yesterday, supporting re- cent favorable statements of President Hoover with statistics to show that “there is no disputing the fact that there was a very appreciable trend up- ward in employment.” The statement by Mr. Davis came as a result of a challenge by Miss Prances Perkins, New York State industrial commissioner, to President Hoover's an- nouncement Tuesday that “the tide of employment all over the country has changed in the right direction.” ““There is no disputing the fact that the month of November and the month of December were the worst we have had in years” the Secretary said. “Neither is there any disputing the fact that there was a very appreciable trend upward on January 6, as compared with December 30. Iron and steel went up to 11.1 per cent, automobiles went up 3.6 per cent, automobile tires went up 14.7 per cent and all industries went up 3.4 per cent, and this was d upon returns from 7,564 manufacturing estab- lishments.” Mr. Davis said that while the increase may not have been true of each indi- vidual State, it was true of each of the 12 recognized geographic divisions of the country.
