SHOWN BY CENSUS Territory Comprising Fourth of Population Has 574,- 647 Out of Work. By the Associated Press Unemployment figures issued by the | Widow of Medical Corps Officer Ex- | Census Bureau today indicated that 574,647 persons were out of work in April in territory comprising approxi- mately a fourth of the country, with an_estimated population cf 29,264,480. These were the fArst figures issued by the Government as the result of the data on unemployment gathered during the present census. Secretary Lamont said they indicated much less unemployment than was gen- erally estimated. Those able to work and reekiog work were listed as unemployed in the re- rt. Since April, when the figures were compiled, there had been an increase in employment because of seasonal oc- cupations. ‘The highest percentage of unemploy- ment reported for any State was thé 45 per cent in Nevada, although the territory surveyed there was nly a portion of the State. The lowest percentage of unemploy- ment was assigned to Arkansas, and amounted to four-tenths of 1 per cent of the total population.

SENATE GETS PAY BILL TOMORROW Brookhart Measure Passed, but House Amendments to Come Up. ‘The Brookhart bill to correct in- equalities in the salaries of Government employes, which has passed both branches of Congress, may be completed tomorrow, when the Senate considers the amendments made by the House. If the Senate concurs in the House amendments, the bill would go directly to the President for signature. The other alternative would be to send the bill to conference. Senator Dale of Vermont, chairman of the civil service committee, is dis- posed to accept the House amendments, but will let the question rest until to- morrow to await the return to the city of Senator Brookhart of Iowa, author of the bill. The purpose of the bill is to move up one more step in their respective grades those employes who were advanced only one salary step utder the Welch law {wo years ago. In most cases this will mean an ihcrease of an additional $60 a year to clerks who received only $60 two years ago. The bill benefits some em- ployes in the fleld service as well as in Washington and represents increases totaling about $1,500,000 a year. One of the House amendments re- stores to the personnel classification board the authority to review alloca- tions, which authority was taken from 1t by a decision of the controller_gen- eral. Another amendment eliminates the retroactive feature of the increases. o Convention to Be in Detroit.
