Industrial employment in West Vir- &inia has fallen off within the last two months so that of 100,000 persons normally employed, it is estimated that 50 per cent. of the number now is idle, according to the latest statis- tics of the state burggu abor. ' A eanvass made by Johh' Davie, - state labor co New Hampshire, indicates that one- third of the normally employed were idle early in the year, and Mr. Davie finds that many of the 844 plants from which returns were received are “still below normal production but im- proving slowly. The figures of the canvass showed that of 31,267 usually employed in the 844 plants, 31,930 were idle on account of lack of orders, and 2,894 for other reasons, while 18,874 were working part time, mak- ing a total of 53,198 affected. ~ Massachusetts, Information obtained from the state department of labor and indus- tries in Massachusetts indicates that unemployment is still considerable but has been relieved slightly in re- cent weeks by pickups in the textile, shoe, metal and machinery industries. In these industrial groups strikes and lockouts are few and minor. Dis- putes over wage and working agree- ments, however, have broken out in | the building trades, the garmeft mak- to | cerns in the state cope with the situation in spite of the | hands or more, on ing shops, printing plants and ‘street railways, with stoppages of work in all but the latter that are variously termed strikes and lockouts. Delaware Reports received by manufacturing, industrial and comimercial agencies in Delaware in April do not give promise of any general improvement of con: ditions this May Day. Estimates of the number of unemployed in, the state generally agree upon about 11,500, more than three-fourths of the idle persons being in Wilmington. Vermont . Approximately 50 per cent. of the 5,000 men normally employed in the various branches of the granite in- dustry are working.
