JOBLESS PROBLEM AIDED BY SPRING Automobile Plants Leading U. S. Industry,in Return to Normal Level. Employment conditions will be aided greatly by Spring's acceleration of out- door work generally, the Labor Depart- ment reported yesterday. Some im- “ovement already has been shown. On the heels of an announcement by welretary of Commerce Lamont that principal industries .are main wage rates despite a campaign in some quarters for reductions, the Labor De- partment’s March employment report showed general improvement. Employment of additional men was slight in some sections, but an increase in schedules in several industries, par- ticularly automobiles, was reflected. Automobile Plants Normal. Some automobile plants operated at virtually normal schedules, with some men on furlough recalled. “The upward trend previously re- in the iron and steel industry continued,” the report said. “but opera- tions in many of the mills remained below those usually in effect at this time of the year.” A large number of men were hired as the 1931 highway construction pro- gram started in many States. An in- crease in building was noted and a steadily growing demand for farm lA-boil; was expected to continue through pril. Improvement in New England. Conditions generally in the textile centers showed little change, the report sald, although there was some improve- ’an;m apparent in the New England A netlcub}e increase in activity was d in the shipbuilding yards and & large number of skilled mechanics were given employment. This was especially true of the yards located on the Atlantic seaboard. RELIEF COSTS INCREASE.

PROVIDENCE, R. I, April 27— Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Demo- cratic National Executive Committee, last night s4id the economic problems of the Nation would be the chief is- sues of political battle in the next presi- dential compaign. Shouse spoke at & | dinner in honor of the memory of | Thomas Jefferson under auspices of the Democratic State Committee. Although Shouse said he hoped the Democratic party would have the cour- age to face the prohibition issue “with- out equivocation and to make a definite ronouncement of its stand on its plat- ?orm for 1932, he would not have it become the dominating point of politi- cal debate. “I would not have prohibition over- shadow the other matters of tre- mendous importance that confront the American people,” he sald. “In my opinion, the economic problems, in- volving unemployment, embracing re- | form of the glaring iniquities of the | tariff, the water power complications and other phases, constitute the out- standing issues of the coming campaign. P\llnr! Laid to G. O. P. “The in power has failed mis- erably i m m.ndlmg of these things. It is the responsibility of the Demo- cratic party to show its ability to cope with the difficulties.” Shouse said he was not wedded to any sarticular plan for solution of the prohi- bition prcblem, but favored “submission to the people of a constructive program dealing with the existing situation, al- ways providing against the return of the saloon by removing the temptation of | private profit from the liquor traffic and ‘lhun protecting to the utmost those States which want to be dry the impcsition of liquor trade within their borders.” ‘The Democrats will have to blaze the cnu for legislative accomplishments in ess, Shouse said, re- nrdlus of whether the Republicans succeed in organizing that body. “It is of small impcrtance,” he said, “which party organizes the two branches | of Congress by ane or two votes.

Fully & third of their membership in the Senate is frankly anti-administra- tion.
