Mr. Green said he regardad the checking of unemployment and the turn for the better as a good omen. In his opinion, the unemployment reports from the trade unions this month “fore- shadow the Fall increase in industrial activity.” The decrease in unemployment, he announced, was three-tenths of 1 per cent. “We feel,” Mr. Green said, “that even this- small decrease is encouraging, be- cause it indicated that a turn for the better probably took place as early as the first of this month.” 800,000 Members Covered. ‘The figures of the American Federa- tion of Labor now cover nmm union members.

Dickerson H.

Therefose the accused master of the steamship Fairfax, Archie H. Brooxs, is acquitted of the charges, and the case is closed.” Faced Four Charges. ‘The collision occurred on June 10, and resulted in an explosion of the oil tanker.

The report sald testimony had es- tablished the fire on the Fairfax was controlled immediately, and that a motor lifeboat was lowered and patrolied the vicinity with a spotlight for a space of two or more miles from the ship as soon as members of the crew were avail- able for such duty. The patrol was continued three or four hours without locating any persons. ‘The report sald that no passenger or member of the Fairfax officers or crew heard a whistle signal from the Pinthis until after she was seen lwmlngonp in the fog. The Fairfax was said to have been making about 3 knots at the time. Penetrated Hull 414 Feet. “It also was established,” it was added, “that the Fairfax penetrated the hull of the Pinthis about 4} to 5 feet, her cargo being liquid, the shell of the Pinthis would offer the only resistance to the stem of the Pairfax, which has a displacement of about 6,000 tons; therefore, the Faixfar could not have been going over 3 knots per hour, other- wise she would have penetrated the Pintals to & much greater distance.” Concerning the charge of unskillful- ness, the report said, the evidence sub- stantiated entries in the log that “on sigh the Pinthis crossing from star- B port, the master of the Fair- fax ordered helm hard aport, which di- rects the vessel's bow to starboard, and reversed engine full speed astern, which while backing with a right-hand pro- peller, would naturally cut the ship's stern to port, causing the vessel to re- spond qu to port helm.” “It is evident,” the report added, “bad the master executed any other maneu- ver than what he did both vessels would ’hlw! been sunk and possibly all lives jost."
